Col. Young took the place of Lieuv Gow, H. W. Cox, who sent a telermam, expressing regret that the absence of Gov. Wilson from the state constituted his remaining at Frankfort. Col. Young told of "Character," and his bearers that because they go to college, he expressed gratitude for why they should develop those principles of truth, integrity and honor, which alone make success in life possible. He expressed gratitude for "sad" work of the college, said Col. Young: "You cannot educate a colored man too highly for me. I believe in giving him a Diploma. Col. Young told of his appreciation of a message received several weeks ago, when he was about to undergo a dangerous surgical operation in Baltimore, to a number of the colored congregations, in a prayer that God would spare his life. The recollection of this, he said, had him to cancel another engagement is correct; he might speak at the last meeting. Rev. John E. Wood, of Danville, Ky., responded to the address of Col. Young, a resident of the Nebraska office, and that play for the Nebraska office referring to all the public questions that affect the Nebraska. He was greeted with repeated applause. Prof. J. W. Bell, principal of the University of Iowa, valued a very strong address on the educational advantages offered the Nebroso and how use his on opportunity, that the best solution the Nebroso problem was to educate. He was saying that the races like individuals work out their destinies. The colored office building on Center, Jefferson street, will soon be a part of the past.

F. Blue and the Rev. J. W. C. Moore, the editors who have lived and labored in our midst for the past twelve years, one for a long time as secretary of the Colored Branch Y. M. C. A. and for the past six years librarian of the Colored Public Library. The other for twelve years pastor of Knox Presbyterian church at Twelfth and Madison streets. They have given much consideration to, to the extent possible, in a large sized volume, many things that are hopeful and optimistic. So much is said about the bad side and so little ever said about the good side of the Louisville people. We have voted the pages of their book to setting forth many things which are optimistic and hopeful—and there will be "enough said to give even some of our carcasses to eat." It is a Louisville book, for Louisville people, about the Louisville Negroes who are doing things and "making things with their relishings, educational, industrial, professional, business and domestic life of the Louisville Negro and when the book makes its appearance, the officers confidently expect to hear it said, "Well Done."

JACKSON, TENN.—Ai the close of the twenty-ninth’ annual commencement exer- clzes of Lane College held here June the ist, President J.-E. Lane announced amidst much applause aconditionalgift of $7,000 to Lane College by the General Education Board of New York. It was not known then what the exact conditions upon which this money. was given are; since ‘then the president has been offi- cially informed, and a full understanding is now had. ‘The donation is by far the largest one ever made to the college by persons other than the C. M. E. church, and comes largely through ‘the earnest efforts of the president, supplemented by those of Dr. J. W. Glibert,. of Augusta, a. Regarding this matter, which means so much to the coliege, President J. F. Lane has this to say: “Lane College greatly needs ancther boys’ hall. The present dormitory for the boys accommodates less than one-half of the young men who come each year to attend this college, and it Is in behalf of this building that the gift of the General Education Board is made. To construct a hall in keeping with the other splendid buildings on the grounds, and one having a capacity sufficient to gecommodate the school, will cost. fully 320,000. ‘Toward raising this amount, the Generai Education Board contributes’ $1,- 000, leaving $12,000 to be raised by the trustees and ‘friends of the college. Of course this condition will be met prompt- ly, and the building will go up.” "The college has just closed a most suc cessful session, and the trustees "and friends are jubilant over the bright pros- pects for the new hall, which in recent Sand’ Seu Beaman ae wed oeraneite.

He had in mind those of the Christian faith who were struggling for the goal—the prize of the high- calling. And perhaps the exhortation was no less applicable to those en- gaged in the ordinary affairs of life, nor in this day when we find impa- tience and restlessness qualities that beset us, unfitting us very often for a successful finish in the race that has all to do with earthly affairs. We have particularly in mind the race struggle wherein we've manifest- ed perhaps too much impatience in view of the slow movements of things of the kind. Deep fanged tradition does not feel to give up its advantage; it is long-lived—extending over the centuries; and yet we would uproot it in a day in spite of the fact that every one of its thousand year has served but to give it a securer hold. Some of those years required in fix- ing prejudice will be required in un- doing prejudice. Hence, of necessity, the race will be long drawn out, and it must be run with patience. We will work, however, while we wait if we wish to obtain the victory. No good thing comes without effort. ‘A short time ago a number of Ne- gro Oklahomans, maddened by the legislature of that State, because it passed a law prohibiting the elective franchise, largely, to the Negroes, left their homes for other parts. One will think it strange that Okla- homans only felt to leave their State in large numbers. But this will be understood when the composition of the population is understood. In every community there are a few who are extremists, according to the law of di- versity and thus making for variety; heaven's economy in dealing with mankind as a society. Extremists for freedom, those standing for the ut- most liberty of the individual, con- sistent with the laws and compatible with the liberty of other men were also found in the diverse society. The section about Oklahoma was notable for the suppression of popular rights. And when the new territory was carved out, it became at once the hope of those few from a thousand com- munities who would fly the ills of their homes, taking a chance in the wilds or desert if it also meant free dom. They came to Oklahoma, many of them. We can imagine their chagrin when the test came and they found themselves once more the victims of the old prejudices. The boldest of them again broke camp with the de- termination of putting as much dis- tance as possible between themselves and the scene of their defeat. Had they had a little more patience perhaps they would not be wandering in inhospitable wilds today in search of the unattainable so to speak, And yet their going may have been the very means of calling the State to a betier sense of duty. At any rate the Supreme Court of Oklahoma has de- cided that the “Grandfather’s Clause” of the constitution, which was the main source of their trouble, was un- constitutional, and which means that forty thousand Negroes will enjoy a privilege thought to have been lost. We cannot account for the singular change of heart, unless it be that it came through the channel spoken of; the restless set, of whom the State is mostly made up, and which at heart stands for the utmost freedom not- withstanding the race situation makes for unexpected conditions. This has in mind restless white men who deep down are nothing with oppression. At any rate the situation has changed for the better and which without doubt will have wholesome effect on the whole Southern situation. ‘Then again comes the cheering in- formation that the mobs in various localities are being dealt with accord- ingly as they have dealt. Says one of our exchanges: “Kentucky has put itself on record as opposed to the spectacular lynch- ing which took place at the opera house in Livermore sometime ago. The grand jury has caused indict- ments to be served against the lead- ~ = een aa] ae e | fo” (; fe ate ue eae MN / eres ™ | 4. oe | A ee <a eS] | oe esi 4 | \ I Se A ees } \ Be /| ee ae AN ee) |e ; el \fige VW y a ms re aM Baronets t| \A Xi dh Is Your Hair Short?

Many a community owes its back- wardness to this source.” In the light of all of this we have right to take courage. We have right to rely on the admonition of the wis- dom gathered of the ages, dt least to some extent, and of course supple- mented by our own activities. Right is not an unknown quality; it is ever assertive. And while the ideal may fail in obtaining, yet a condition can come about that will be far more sat- isfactory than that of the present time. Run the race with patience. With everything else equal and the destiny is fairly within our own keeping. MAKING WORK LIKE PLAY. ‘The Women’s Civic Club of Wilkes- Barre, Pa., recently made a yery bril- liant move in an effort at cleaning up the city. The small boys were unani- mously won over by an offer of one cent per dozen for all the old tin cans ‘and such like that infested the alleys, commons and streets. It were as if Aladdin had rubbed his lamp and said the word. The boys promptly respond: ed with fifty thousand of the disman- tled containers, and were in no way weary at the well doing. One will imagine that the little fel- lows had “bushels” of fun as well as bringing in bushels of tin cans. ‘The offer, as we understand it, was not made to the little girls, but more than likely they were in it.’ Don’t see how they could resist the fascination for rubbering in dumps and ash _ piles which is a delight in common with the little ones. ‘The little girls, if forbid- den, for the once, wished they were boys. ‘The incident appears trivial to the grown up people, but with the little folks it was as an important event in their lives. Other events and happen- ings will be reckoned from the date when they as s0 many scavengers “scoured” the city, ridding it of the ugly sights that were promiscuously strewn during the year. Even happen- ings before the great round up will be measured by the affair when the small boy tried to swamp the women with the appalling heap of old tin cans. If the boys’ spirit is still the same the fun and interest came from the confusion and turmoil of the heaps of mishapened articles that they got to- gether. The money, one cent per doz- en, was of course the first incentive— it made it worth while, but it was not the real glory. The real glory was in heaping them up, piling them high— to appall the dear ladies, as said be- fore—also in the quest, where was that verve as in the miner when in quest of gold. It was a happy thought; it will win in any old town in the vacation days. Sea aap! Ye Sear i M.C.Shea&Co Select Groceries, Fine Meats and Hardware eee 221, 223 N.

A Flying Trip to Africa—Social and Religious Notes. Rev. D. Gordon, who sailed January 8, as envoy to Africa, has returned, after a brief stay on the tropical continent. The missionary commends for one year, and his mission to Africa was to study the conditions of that country and the feasibility of the exodus of the people from Africa. A common conclusion of the people of this section is based upon the briefness of the trip. The lecture given May 29 was but a repetition of the same old story, and little if any enlightenment was gained as to the existing condition of affairs. We hope for further developments in another lecture to follow soon. . . The Y. M. C.

Wheaton's Orchestra rendered splendid music. The concert at Mt. Zion Baptist Church, given by the Y. M. A. Society, was rated as the best in the history of the church.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL President Thirkield's Report- Memorial for the Late Geo. W. Walker Notes. Special to THE FREEMAN Sr. Dr. Thirkieldt's report, submitted to the Board of Trustees last Saturday, covered his five-year term of office and showed that the student body had advanced in numbers from the 1.382, which is the enrollment for this year. During the past five years, it was stated, nearly one-third of a million dollars has been expended for new buildings. One of the features is that there has been a marked change during the past five years in the preference shown by the students for English, mathematics, chemistry, biology, physics, history, and the arts. The president pointed out with pride, that the six debating teams sent out during the past two years, meeting the leading team for seven countries, the president being victorious in every instance. The international influence of the school for the education of colored youth is shown by the fact that the students come from four-seventh countries, the latter mostly from the West Indies, Pargama, South America and Africa. The Board elected the following member to the president of Wesleyan University, instructor in German; F. W. Frederick, graduate of Lafayette College, electrical engineering in new department of applied science; B. D. Brawley, made a professor in State College, mechanical drawing and civil engineering; E. E. Just, advanced to associate professor in biology, and B. G. Brawley, made a professor in History, and Littleridge, Charles S. Syphax, advanced to associate professor in the Academy; Clifford Robinson, a graduate of Virginia Union University, instructor in the Academy; Judge Robert H. Terrell, lecturer in the School of Memorial for the Late George W. Walkpr. An "all-star" entertainment is in progress at the New Howard Theater, the proceeds of which are to be devoted to placing the Gomez W. Walker, the race's greatest producing manager and "straight" comedian. Some of the participants are Mrs. Aida Overton Walker, the comedian's tales widener J. theater director T. Burleigh, S. H.

Guy, Arlene Gordon, Aida Overton Vaughn and others, Aida Overton Vaughn and others, Mary Church Terrell and Mrs. Robert A. Pelham will speak and Mrs. A. M.

Dramatic and Musical Club, of which Mr. R. G. Dorrell, chairman of the executive committee, N. D. Hightower is secretary and C. C. Carter is treasurer. About one-half of the members are students of Howard University. The initials stand for the have won fame in the dramatic and musical world. The Lyric Orchestra, E. P. Robinson director, will be conducted on this special occasion by James Beese Euronc, president and conductor of the Symphony Orchestra of New York City. Register Nanier's name will soon be seen on the paper money. The forces are working night and day at the Bureau of Enforcing and Debtors on the government $10,000. The Register moves into his new offices in a few days. They will face the east end of the White House, almost directly under the room of the Secretary of the Treasury. Auditor Ralph W. Tyler has been warmly commended by the Treasury officials or practical suggestions made by the commission, efficiency and economy, looking to improve the methods in vogue in his office, and the consolidation of co-related divisions. The Secretary has ordered his suggestions adopted. The papers have been returned to the office. He has none. He holds his place "at the pleasure of the President" and no reappointment is necessary. He will have served four years in June, and will have served five years without further action, if the Chief Executive does not wish to make a change. Mr. Tyler will remain throughout President Taft's term if he so elects, and maybe longer. The whites and blacks are separated at the Government for the Insane, according to report. The Outlook is enjoying largely increased sales by reason of Dr. Booker T. Washington's interesting serial on "The Man Farthest Down." Mr. Charles E. Conick, Jr., of the War department, with station at Governor's Island, New York harbor, was in the city last week. Mr. George W. Harris, editor of the sprightly Amsterdam News, of New York, was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. R. W. Thompson, 1004 S. street, New York, where Mr. Harris saw all of the sightings of the entire membership of the "Black Cabinet," looked in on Congress, and attended the sessions of the Zion conference, where he delivered a practical address on "The Power of the Press." The Power News has grown to a circulation of about sixteen months, and it is common to be New York's most dependable mouthpiece, as far as the race is concerned. Judge Robert H.

By Ralph W. Tyler. For two long hours there was heard the click of glasses, and the half-smothered pop of corks as they flew from the tapering necks of bottles that contained that insidious, brain-steling fluid brewed in LaBelle, France. For two hours, down their throats ran, in riotous confusion, the sparkling, effervescent wine, brain-steling fluid, as if smoke from doped oriental cigarettes, sent hot through the nostrils, filled the glass of where four young sciences of fond, hopeful, indulgent parents robbed time of opportunity. Those four pair of eyes, one pair as blue as the nebular azure, had to be swallowed by the effect of too much wine. Awful, horrible, depressing sight—four handsome young boys lured to destruction by the serpent drink! And then there was a burst of song, their voices blending inharmoniously, discordantly, raspingly in the Are Jolly Good Fellows. The three pairs of eyes in the bed were the hour of closing—midnight—up jumps one in a swaying, reeling manner, fills his glass again, and shouts: "Fill 'em (hich) again (hic), b-loys; lesh d-rink to our (hic) mother, we shall be the driest of the night." The other three staggered to their feet, and unsteadily raised their glasses, But before the poison that steals away the brain had touched the lips those mothers had smothered with a thousand fervent, secret kisses he, with the eyes whose blue rivaled the cerulean of the skies, and at the sound of that mother's cry, the poison itself was released. The reason reason fought its way back through the opious draughts of wine. Holding the glass from him, speaking as slow as moves the shifting cloud when the fast setting sun's weak rays try to break through, he said: "Boys, this glass is filled with destruction. I see blubbering up, sparkling from the bottom, crime of every mother, we shall be the driest of the night." The sparkling globules that continuously rise from the bottom until the glass is drained reminds me of tears mother may be shedding tonight from those dear eyes that watched lovingly over me in my innocent infancy. To more bitter tears from a sainted mother. And then, hurling the filled glass to the marble floor, shattering it into a hundred fragments, he calmly, determinedly exclaimed: "I break the glass." He other three, ober now, sat down their untouched glasses; and four young men, more reliably, then emerged from he glided palace over which Bacchus reigned, never again to enter.

C. A. Pleased by Building Plan—Congratulates Race on Success of Movement for Washington Home. WASHINGTON.—Speaking to more than 1,000 Negroes last Sunday, President afTt congratulated the race in Washington upon the consummation of the movement for the erection of a $100,000 home for a colored Young Men's Christian Association. The President paid a high tribute to the work of the Y. M. C. A. and praised the generosity and broad philanthropy of Julius Rosenwald of Chicago, who, though barred from any part in the rule limiting the directorate to certain religious denominations, recently agreed to give $25,000 to the Washington Negro branch's building fund. management of the association by the "It has fallen to my lot," said the President, "because of experience in many parts of the world, to observe the wonderful usefulness of the Young Men's Christian Association in taking hold of the characters of young men at a time when they are in the formative period—at a time when they are likely to yield to temptations that will lead them down to destruction—and offering to them an inducement and an opportunity to make themselves men worthy and useful in the community. Helpful in Strange Lands. "It was peculiarly useful in such places as Manila and Hong Kong, where young men from home—that is from America or from England, without families—were exposed to the temptations of those far-off lands. "It has reduced to science the taking homeless young men and offering them an attractive Christian club in which all the influences are good, in which there is nothing of the mollycodle, but everything tending to vigorous manhood, and everything tending to restrain them from demoralizing vices and practices. "Now it does not need any logic for us to say that you young colored men—and all the young colored men over this country—need that influence just as much as the young white men need it. There is a white Young Men's Christian Association and a colored Young Men's Christian Association. You are more comfortable to have your own club limited to your own race, as perhaps the white young men are more comfortable in having it limited to their race; but they are both nevertheless under the broad roof of charitable and uplifting Christianity."

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JUNE 17, 1911. With a judicious mixture of rain, bumper crops will follow this hot weather. Come on to Indianapolis, Mr. Taft, by all means. The citizens want to look you over. The Rochester News, of Rochester, N. Y., will be known in the future as the North Star. T. Thomas Fortune will be managing editor. Can't keep Thomas down. Harriet Beecher Stowe's centenary and Flag Day gives the 14th of June double importance. We need these days, and which serve to remind us of whence we came. Can't possibly get on too much patriotism. Madero has gone after the Mexican presidency in the good old United States fashion. He is doing the country in special trains and automobiles, promising the whirlwind finishes so well known in this country. The confirmation of W. H. Lewis as assistant United States attorney general has set at rest all speculation in the matter. Mr. Lewis is an excellent man. The appointment has always been considered a good one; in fact, seemed a bit too good to be true. One of the applicants for the Haitien ministership had grown rather desperate in the interim. He evidently thought some one was making a sneaking campaign. He gave it out that the job would not go to anyone employing such tactics. Well, what do you think about that? It's tactical all right; but is it diplomatical? It is being said that Dr. H. W. Furniss will stay at his post as minister saying this; they sometimes hit it right. Well, Minister Furniss is a fine example of a representative, and doubtless will continue to serve in event he is retained, with his old time efficiency. The many friends of Rev. Dr. E. W. Lee, doubtless, are shocked by the sad intelligence of his death, which occurred suddenly last Monday at Wilberforce University. He was surrounded by a number of presidents of colleges of the A. M. E. church, who were attending a meeting at Wilberforce. Rev. Dr. Lee was president of the Morris Brown College, Atlanta, Ga. President Taft has done very much to prove that he has the Negroes' political welfare in mind; but in the meanwhile he has also made it plain that he also has the general good in mind. In accord with his policy, he has shown that he will appoint Negroes to office when suchappointments do not prove contrary to the general good. Some have been inclined to take the president to task for his "ruling" where Negroes are concerned, yet he announced his policy before election and has consistently stuck to it. Owing to the protest of Oklahomaans and other individuals of the section to which W. T. Vernon was recently appointed assistant supervisor of Indian schools, his position has been changed to that of assistant superintendent of schools for Negroes and Indians jointly. Without comment on the change of places, it is generally thought that Mr. Vernon is competent and deserving. There has been a very persistent element in and about Washington who thought he had to be placed—somewhere. The appointment we hope is satisfactory to them, also to Mr. Vernon. The Freeman thinks well of him along with his persistent friend and hopes him success. Finally China, is waking up to the needs of the present day civilization measured by the standards of the leading nations. The thing of cutting off the que appears small enough to those who do not understands former deep social and religious significance. It means a revolution of the custom of centuries in a single day, so to speak, it seems miraculous. The unbandaged feet, the universal school house for girls as well as boys, are other evidences of conforming to the spirit of the age. Activity is also noted in the army; battleships that can battle are being added to the navy—the militant spirit is on. In all of this innovation, rejuvenation in fact a reincarnation, China has everything to gain and nothing to lose. Editor T. Thomas Fortune is again in the journalistic harness good and proper. Mr. Fortune has been contributing to the Amsterdam News. of --- Amsterdam, N. Y. The Rochester Sentinel will be changed to the North Star, the name of the publication by Frederick Douglass many years ago. The editor of the Sentinel found it impossible to continue the work owing to pressing business matters, and as a consequence Mr. Fortune has been asked to preside over the destiny of the Star. Mr. Fortune's well-known ability and the favorable reputation of the Frederick Douglass publication should mean much for the venture. The many friends of Editor Fortune will be pleased to know that he is in his best vocation—opinion making—advising and suggesting in the interest of his race, and in the interest of the general nation. HARRIET BEECHER STOWE'S BOOK. Charles Edward Stowe, son or kinsman of Harriet Beecher Stowe, the author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin," expresses himself in the current number of the "Outlook" as being none too well pleased with the view the world has taken of that famous production. All along, since the distinguished author's death, he has tried to make it plain that the book was not intended to offend the Southerners, nor to bring about the shedding of blood. "She knew the Southern people, and had for them a profound admiration. She knew how concientious and kind they meant to be, and for the most part were, in their dealings with their slaves," says Mr. Stowe. The fault, she felt, was not with the people of the South, but with the institution itself, saying: "It is impossible that a people so generous, so noble and so Christian can see the institution of slavery as it truly is." And one may think, after reflection, that there's more than charity in the speech that "It is impossible that a people so generous, so noble and so Christian can see the institution of slavery as it truly is." While teaching school at Cincinnati young ladies of good Southern homes came to her for instruction. The question of slavery naturally presented itself from time to time. Those young women had no admiration for the system, but they maintained that they found it a part of the social system of their times, and which even their immediate ancestors had no share in making. In the light of reason they could not see that enormity of that wrong, in whose atmosphere they were born and reared, as others who were not only differently environed, but differently schooled. That the rising generations felt now and then pangs of conscience at the part they played in perpetuating an institution that was supported by more than two centuries of custom—state sanctioned, nationally protected, parentally indorsed—was greatly to their credit. To have declared against the inquity under the circumstances would have been against human nature and rational reasoning, if we may so express it. The custom, vile as it was, and as it appeared to be to most of those who were in no way allied to it, could not have presented its ugly front to those who were steeped in it. Harriet Beecher Stowe was most bitterly against the system; she was so humane; she was against wrong in any form. That same humanity embraced the innocently guilty slaveholders, whose legacies of wealth came to them in such abominable form, holding them guiltless, declaring virtually, "They know not what they do"—so forgive them. We, at this time, of whatever race, can afford to look at whatever phase of the past dispassionately, and reflect in the interest of truth and right as well as in the interest of a better future, and which must proceed from a common understanding, based on honesty of thought and expression. We feel to think that Mr. Charles Edward Stowe is a trifle over-zealous in having it appear that his distinguished kinswoman thought less of slavery as an evil than she did. He admits, however, that the world does not share his view. We must admit, on the other hand, that Mrs. Stowe did not mean it to be so militant in its advocacy of the destruction of slavery as it proved to be, if we are to judge by her own words: "My book is therefore as much under an interdict in some parts of the South as the Bible in Italy: * * * a real injustice to many noble-minded people at the South, who, if they were allowed quietly and dispassionately to hear and judge, might be led to best results." If the point is not quite clear that she built better than she knew, note what Mr. Stowe, in the "Outlook," says: "It was her expectation that her mode of presentation, while pleasing to the people of the South, would be received with very ill grace by the Abolitionists. The result was a great surprise and disappointment to her." "While her main object was to show the institution of slavery as it actually was, she threw the whole emphasis on the brighter side, both directly and by implication. "She gave Uncle Tom three masters, two of them Southern men, noble, chivalric, and kind. The third master, who was a brute, was not a Southerner at all, but a renegade Yankee. "Then, indirectly and by implication, her noblest characters—Eva, Uncle Tom, George Harris, Mrs. Shelby, and St. Clare—were the products of the institution of slavery and nourished on its breast." PUSHING HIS APPOINTMENT The feeling seems to have been prevalent at Washington, D. C, that W. T. Vernon, former register of the Treasury, had to have a place. Perhaps there was never before such insistence. We are not displeased at his appointment; we are interested in knowing the psychology of the situation that made for the unanimity. Are we warranted in saying that his double loss—his political situation and his school principalship, got him this extra consideration? Usually such losses mean further misfortune, which is borne out by the old-time saying that an individual is unexpectedly helped when going down the hill. Well, there are exceptions to many THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. to the best rules. Vernon seems to be one of those for whom misfortune made friends. All Washington seemed very anxious that the President do something for him. Is it too much to say by way of speculation, that maybe they preferred that he shouldn't occupy that most conspicuous post, one of the chief rallying "points" of Washington society, Register of the Treasury. This is not a bad conjecture when we know how some tried to talk about the ex-register, thus seeking to minimize his social importance if not an attempt to beat him out of his job. He made a most excellent official from all that's said, consequently they did not have the heart to shut him out entirely. That he should have a place was fairly unanimous. That this place should be way away, was also unanimous. Those concerned knew, too, that Vernon was the only greater official that was true blue to the party in the last campaign. The Brownsville muddle was on with its Senator Foraker, and of course the then President Roosevelt. Washington was the storm center. The office-holding people thought their political world was coming to an end. They chose to stand still, thinking to see in the attitude, salvation. This has reference to those unanchored by the civil service regulations. It may be that Vernon was himself somewhat politically paralyzed, since he was none too aggressive in his Republicanism at that juncture. He went about as far as they shoved him—not much farther. The others stood stock-still. It was right and reasonable that Vernon should hang on longest in the light of his party efficiency, also that he be further rewarded as he has been with the Assistant Supervisorship of the Five Civilized Indian Tribes. The job is in keeping with Vernon's training and vocation. By nature, too, he seems fitted for the position rather than in the hurly burly of active politics with his rather meek and docile nature. President Taft has been nothing if not methodical in helping those who helped him. To put it different, those who found themselves in position to push along his campaign and who were found sitting on the wheel have paid the penalty. As politics go, it is the expected. The new push of men may not have been for Taft or Roosevelt aggressively or otherwise, but they, at least, are not guilty of having been weighed in the balances and found wanting. REV. E. W. LEE, PRESIDENT OF MORRIS BROWN COLLEGE, DROPS DEAD. Succumbs While Talking With Number of College Presidents. XENIA, O.—While seated at the dinner table in Arnett Hall at Wilberforce University last Monday, the Rev. E. W.

Horne is the band leader, and his work is the drawing card for the show. The bunch send regards to all their friends. CHATTANOCGA, TENN. (By W. K. Grover.) Speaking of character men, Mr. John Moore is away above the average. He is very clever, and that is putting it his way, seen a few in my day, but he is exceptionally smart, cleverly assisted by his little wife. Lily a dainty little soubrette. Here are the characters I saw him play: Italian, Hebrew, Indian, Chink, Turk, villain (high face), German, French, and backface. He talks with so much ease, clear and distinct. Don't understand me to say that Mr. Moore is a comedian; but he can come on the stage behind a good man and make good believe me. If you talk like a good writer, Mr. L. T. Sword, manager of the Grand Theater, East Ninth street, Chattanooga, in regard to Mr. Moore's work. If you talk like a good writer, Mr. Moore, but I have seen him work. I sent this little write-up to the Freeman on my own accord. I hope Mr. Moore not be offended; it may do him a little bit better. Mr. Moore, make a return engagement to Chattanooga soon. We like your work. FLORIDA BLOSSOMS COMPANY ENROUTE. PASSING SHOW AT WASHINGTON, D.C. The Walker Memorial was a success. Andrew Tribble, recently of the Smart Set Company, opened at the Foraker last Monday for an indefinite period.

The accompanying photograph is an excellent likeness of Miss Rosalie Brown, one of the acknowledged successful comediennes of the period. The act she is now presenting in connection with Miss Delia Brown, a former member of the entire circuit of houses they have played. So strong was the act upon its appearance in Indianapolis that the management of the Crown Garden Theater held them over for another week. The team was the first to perform the second week that on their first appearance and that on patrons of the house with a brand-new MARIA MAYORA offering, not even using a single song introduced in the act of the previous week. They are enthusiastic and enthusiastic these two young women have a shade on contemporary sisters in the game. They are studious and keenly alive to the joys of the game, and made subservient to the advancement of their work. Such hustling performers as these two energetic and ambitious young women in engagement in Indianapolis patrons bid them good-bye with genuine regret, and they can rest assured of a hearty welcome at any time they see film. J. D. HOWARD. CHICAGO'S WEEKLY REVIEW (By Sylvester Russell.) Reese Brothers's "Africandas" gave a minstrel first part that was full of life.

Billy and Sadie McCarver at the Grand. The usual flow of merriment was at its height when Billy McCarver stepped upon the stage. As one of the Georgia Crackens and his late brother Howard were leading performers, and went through the regular course of olden days in being taught how to be a performer. Billy McCarver today, as we term it a regular actor and first-class performer, is a good singing voice and a fine personality. The Brues returned still popular, and gave a good performance. Mr. Bruce gave exceptional feats in roller skate dancing, fascinating and hands over a song in good style, was all pleasing. Of the white performers, Mr. and Mrs. Perkins Fisher pleased greatly in the "Half-way House." Sol Berns was a good Hebrew entertainer, and the band was a blind pianist, gave ample astifaction.

The opening bill comprised John Rucker, Effie King and Ellly Gilliam (Allie's wife), Jeff De Mont, Susie Moore and Moore, and Chaucey Ver Vallon. The members of the Colored Vaudeville Entertainment Association are requested to please reinforce the deep dues paid up. Actors who belong to the C. V. B. A. even if unfinancial, should not be knuckles. All performers must bear in mind that B. A. has made greater progress from the time it was organized than any actors' society, black or white, ever known of, and as it is a beneficial organization, it must be supported as a duty. The Chicago Goats is a nice organization of actors, which at present is run on the back of a chartered club, but it is hired that long it will become a beneficial organization to be taken into the fold of the C.

NOBLESVILLE, Ind.-John Burtwell, colored, one of the oldest persons who was born in slavery, died last Wednesday. According to the best evidence obtainable, when a guardian was appointed for him recently, he was one hundred and twelve years old. For many years before the war he was a cook on a Mississippi river steamer. One day the boat anchored at Lawrenceburg and Burtwell was sent ashore for a bucket of water. He never returned to the boat, but walked all the way to Westfield, this county, which was then famous as an underground railroad station. Although his master made several trips to Westfield in search of him, that well-known Quaker community always protected him. He was never married. He worked at the barber trade for sixty years. Last winter his home was destroyed by fire, and since that time the old man has been an object of charity. WOULDN'T THIS PULL YOUR CORK UNDER? Mrs. J. Has Some Shiners NEW YORK—Talk about drawing the colored line against Jack Johnson aboard the Kron Prinz Wilhelm! Why the "big smoke" was the biggest card aboard the vessel last Tuesday when she poked her nose out into the bay and headed for merry old England. "Where's Johnson?" every one was asking, and the popularity of the Negro champion soon became so infectious that for a half hour before the ship sailed he and his white wife held an informal reception in the chief engineer's suite, which Johnson engaged for the trip. Johnson went immediately to his rooms on boarding the ship. He wore a brown suit, tan shoes and stockings and for jewelry he relied chiefly on the three-quarter-inch diamond that glinted from his shirt front. Mrs. Johnson's display of stones and gold was not so modest. She was sprinkled with all sorts of splashes and her fingers were incumbered almost to the point of being out of commission. Among those who went aboard ship to wish Johnson bon voyage were only two Negroes. Boxes of candy, baskets of fruit and huge boquets adorned Johnson's suite, no international bride ever sailing with more extravagant remembrances in these lines. Sick 'Em. Tige. Johnson has not requested an audience with King George. "I don't think that will be necessary," he said. "The king will probably want to see me and if he does I'll sure be on hand. I'll always break a date to see a king." "Will you fight Bombadier Wells?" Johnson was asked. "Of course I will. I'll fight any one in the world. But there's got to be money in it. I'm going to Monte Carlo, and if I go broke down there I may agree to fight Wells for a small amount. But I won't fight on this trip. I've got to be back here for an engagement at Hammerstein's in August. I think Lord Lonsdale will meet me at the pier. He's a great sport and has done more for boxing than anybody in England." Johnson's party consists of his wife, Monte Cutler, a Negro sparring partner; Jim Monahan, his white sparring partner; Tom Flanagan, his trainer, and Charles Brown, his chauffeur. All went first cabin. Johnson is taking two automobiles over and expects to cut a swath just a bit wider than ever before cut by an American champion abroad.

Protracted struggle without — losing heart. As a general thing Samuel drops his man in short order, and there 1s no good reason for believing that he cannot go a distance. ‘The Kauffman adherents aver that Langford is afraid of the for- mer, and it son record that Sam and his ‘manager sidestepped bie AL in that Philadelphia affair, also that they’ have shown no great eagerness to come to terms with Kaufman since.
