LANE COLLEGE GETS $7,000.00 General Education Board of New York Makes Conditional Gift to Famous Negro College—Announcement is to be made at Tufts/Withe StraightenBACKSON, TENN-At the close of the twenty-ninth annual commencement exercises of Lane College held here June the 1st, President J. E. Lane announced the commencement of $7,000 to Lane College by the General Education Board of New York. It was not known then what the exact conditions of the commencement have been since then the president has been officially informed, and a full understanding is now had. The donation is by far the largest of the 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. Gilbert, of Augusta, Regarding this matter, which means so much to the college, President J. F. Lane has this to say: "Lane College greatly needs another boys hall. The present dormitory for the boys accommodates less than $10,000 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 budget, we will build a hall and one having a capacity sufficient to accommodate the school, will cost fully $20,000. Toward raising this amount, the General Education Board contributes $7,000, leaving $13,000 to be raised by the students. In our course this condition will be met promptly, and the building will go up." The college has just closed a most successful session, and the trustees 'and friends are jubilant over bright prospects. The college will, with recent years has become a, real necessity.

A few weeks ago at the Knoxville College hospital quite a successful surgical operation was performed by Dr. E. L. Watkins, assisted by Drs. Crawford, McGoo, and the other. A tumor weighing by actual weight twenty-five pounds was moved from the body of Mrs. Susie Burnett, a colored woman of the city. This growth involved every vital organ in the pelvic and abdominal cavity. The woman had been afflicted with it for fifteen years. By great skill and caution the growing was extracted without injury to any of the vital organs. The patient was recalled from the operation and has been improving ever since. This growth is said to have been one of the largest removed in the history of the hospital. All concerned are colored. The cost of teaching at Tuskegee is $50.00 a year for each student.

The school uniform, which is required, other clothing and books for the students, contributions are not as a rule asked for by the school, to pay the personal expenses of students—it expects the students to take care of such expenses through their own efforts.—Southern Letter, Tuskegee.

They were certainly more docile than the white officers, and more impulsive; they probably varied more under different officers and were less individually self-reliant, but were more eager and more impetuous than the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. whites". In later life Colonel Higginson served the public for twenty years—one year as chief of the governor's personal staff, two years as a State representative, three as member of the State militia, and seven as the military and naval historian of Massachusetts. His funeral was most impressive, being attended by the most prominent white citizens of Cambridge and Boston, and by a large body of colored soldiers acting as bearers and guard of honor. The Southern Workman. Giles B. ackson gives his side of the transaction with the defunct True Reformers Bank of Richmond, Va., as follow- "As I have said before, I do not know Mr. Hill kept his accounts in the bank, and never made any inquiry, having utmost business judgment, as all the other officers of other companies also had. He never paid me any money during these periods for my personal benefit, and I have never borrowed any money from him or his wife. I would say that he needed money to pay the demands he would draw his own note, which was indorsed by Wm. Isaac Johnson and myself and discounted at other banks. The money would be turned over to enlish the treasury. I have a number of friends in the nation which have been paid, and will speak for themselves. If Mr. Hill used any money from the True Reformers' Bank for the payment of any checks, he would take these accounts, it is news to me, as I have never heard or dreamed of such a thing. "GILES B. JACKSON." The following is noted of a stranded Negro in London. I cannot get a passage; to be alone in London without any help or funds like a pin in a haystack, nothing but sorrow and distress. Hearing that Mr. B. T. Washington were in London I appeal to him in the name of God Almighty if he can possibly help me with a ticket to get across, because tie lady that was kind enough to give me a shelter is without further herself, being a Christian woman she gave me food for what she can afford. At night I have to sleep in a house with a widow which has two children which has to make her living by chopping wood, whom some day does not earn enough to buy a loaf of bread for her children. The winter is coming on and like I get some to chuck corn or to get a Maryland for a poultry raging. It is a long time since I had waterpigs' feet and corn. Say, Mr. Washington, if you ever knew what a man in a hole is I guess I am in a hole and the cover over. I can see the pork chops and the corn bread and the hot biscuits calling me to come over and get some and many a time I have tried and failed. I reach the other great. Attitude to the ocean story and I remain. From Dr. Booker St. Washington's "The Man Farthest Down." RUN THE RACE WITH PATIENCE Paul was talking to those of that day, when, among other things he advised that the race be run with patience. 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 engaged in the ordinary affairs of life, nor in this day when we find impatience 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 where we've manifested 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 years has served but to give it a securer hold. Some of those years required in fixing prejudice will be required in undoing 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 Negro Oklahomaans, 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 Oklahomaans 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 diversity and thus making for variety; heaven's economy in dealing with mankind as a society. Extremists for freedom, those standing for the utmost liberty of the individual, consistent 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 communities who would fly the ills of their homes, taking a chance in the wilds or desert if it also meant freedom. 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 determination of putting as much distance 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 better sense of duty. At any rate the Supreme Court of Oklahoma has decided that the "Grandfather's Clause" of the constitution, which was the main source of their trouble, was unconstitutional, 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 up, and which at heart stands for the utmost freedom notwithstanding 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 information that the mobs in various localities are being dealt with accordingly as they have dealt. Says one of our exchanges: "Kentucky has put itself on record as opposed to the spectacular lynching which took place at the opera house in Livermore sometime ago. The grand jury has caused indictments to be served against the lead- ers of the lynchers and as a result thirteen of them are in jail. This means in the first place that all of the people were not favorable to the lynching, and in the second place it indicates a desire on the part of the law-loving portion of the community. Many a community owes its backwardness 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 wisdom gathered of the ages, at least to some extent, and of course supplemented by our own activities. Right is not an unknown quality; it is ever assertive. And while the ideal may fall in obtaining, yet a condition can come about that will be far more satisfactory 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 very brilliant move in an effort at cleaning up the city. The small boys were unanimously 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 responded with fifty thousand of the dismantled containers, and were in no way weary at the well doing. One will imagine that the little fellows 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 forbidden, 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 happenings will be reckoned from the date when they as so many scavengers "scoured" the city, ridding it of the ugly sights that were promiscuously strewn during the year. Even happenings 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 together. The money, one cent per dozen, 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 before—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. It is now said that the Pullman car conductor refused to "Jim Crow" Mrs. Booker T. Washington when on her recent trip South. He said that he would rather give up his job than to continue being a slave driver. "Mrs. Washington is just as good and far better than lots of passengers I handle over my line. You may put me on record as saying that not only Mrs. Washington but any respectable colored lady will be given comfort by me." WANTS TO LOCATE IN INDIANAPOLIS. Thomas Settle, a colored citizen of Buffalo, N. Y., wishes to locate elsewhere. He has Indianapolis in mind, a city of which he has a machinist and a licensed chauffeur, and that he can run and repair all makes of cars. He is very much inclined towards Indianapolis, and he speaks of all of his city heard the mayor of Indianapolis make. According to the speech, the mayor said that he went to heaven; when he got there he found a lot of colored people chained. On asking an officer what was done for him, he replied that if they did not do that they would all go back to Indianapolis. WANTED Experienced European waiters and busmen with reference.

A common conclusion of the people of this section is based upon the briefness of the trip.

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.

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.

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. Terrell, of the Municipal Court, went to Tuskegee Institute last week to hear the commencement address. He was accompanied by Mr. Whitefield McKinlay, co-chair of customs, Port of Georgetown, D.C.

C.—Mr. Editor—So lively is the interest created in the diplomatic circle of the race since the resignation of the Hon. H. W. Furniss, of your city, from the post in Haiti, that we are all peculiarly anxious to know just what the outcome will be. Some of the gentlemen, whose names have been mentioned, would—we are sure—score as ministers to that country with great satisfaction to all concerned. But, in my mind, there is one man whose name has not been mentioned as I know, of whom I believe would serve Haiti with the greatest possible honor to the United States of America, and reflect unusual credit upon himself and the colored race. Of his diplomatic ability there is no question whatever. He has demonstrated his ability over and over, as trusted secretary of Dr. Brooker T. Washington, officer of the National Negro Business League and member of the recent United States Commissioner to Liberia. The young men of the race, especially, would be delighted to see Hon. E. J. Scott, of Tuskegee, Ala., occupy the diplomatic post at Port Au Prince. On sale every Saturday at Young & Philadelphia, Pa.

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.

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."

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.

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.

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.

Andrew Tribble, recently of the Smart Set Company, opened at the Foraker last Monday for an indefinite period. Billy Bradley, the Kansas Sunflower, plucked from the Garden of Nonsense, is quite a baseball fan. He is seen daily in the bleachers, rooting for the Nationals, though a losing team. Brown and Brown were at the Foraker Theater last week. T. Spencer Finley "hit the boards" last Monday night, at the Minnehaha, after a long rest. He is the same clever fun-maker and smug slicker. Lee Whippe and Lew Henry "cut the faimbh" last Minnehaha in a comedy stunt entitled, "The Soldier Act." It is some stuff and was shoved by a boottight officer, saw the veteran fun-makers and THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. did not laugh, he was sick and should immediately seek medical advice. It was "some fun" and "some more comedy." Baltimore, Md. The opening bill comprised John Rucker, Enie King and Eddy Gillam (Allie's wife), Jeff De Mont, Susie ROSALIE BROWN, OF THE TEAM OF BROWN AND DELK. 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. The house was well filled and the popularity of the show continues unabated. One of the clearest things on the bill was the song "Kiss Me, Honey." Reese Brothers, which made an electric hit, Miss Beasley sang "Just for You. Miss in dancing style. Tom Davis did some dancing. Tom Davis' tensions. Miss Blue sang "Kiss Me, Honey," and Eleanor Wilson sang "Baby Face" with good cheer, a white woman, in a roaring illustration, and the bill. Next week, Sylvester Russell. 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 orchestra now consists of Tobe Brown, cornet; Wright Smith, violinist; Horace George, clarinet; Miles Harris, and Dave B. Payton, Jr., leader and pianist. Warfield and Campbell at the Monogram. Delightful! were the words expressed as Manzie Campbell followed his partner, Mr. Warfield, off the stage. So very original is Campbell and so very musical is his voice that all his comedy flows with ease and humor inexpressible. Mr. Warfield danced most gracefully. "The sun do move" was the moving spirit of Manzie's song. Shelton Brooks returned thoroughly popular in one of his well-liked specialties—of the present. But what of the future? The Four Spades danced well—in fact, they are very good performers, but I should like to whisper one or two words in their ears. Frankie La Marche, a pretty white ex-opera singer, with a "buster" dog, added to the pleasure of the program. The Dorsey-Sweatman-Reeves orchestra, all stars, of course, nearly worked overtime. Next week, Billy Kersands Incidental Music, with Pictures, at the Phoenix. The Phoenix Theater has taken a leap into popularity. "The Flag Didn't Rise" and "Cattle Thieves" were sensational musical pieces with residential music, and Ed Goodbar, an exceptional tenor, sang illustrated songs. The orchestra consists of Arthur Brown, Chas. Orchestra, with Joseph Nelson. There are different pictures every night. Kenneth and Ball are proprietors, and O. C. Hammond is manager.

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.

Week of July 19 the Goats will present a one-act musical comedy at the Pekin Theater, produced by Sidney Perrin, with a cast including the leading performers in the organization. The reception given in honor of the Lady Vaudevillians, Friday evening, May 3, was a very enjoyable event. Large, jolly attendance; delightful repast, and late hours; in fact, the lights went out only when the morning light broke in through the windows. Mr. Charles Small, late of the Ten Dale Knights, and one of the best-known of the performers, has been placed in charge of the Goats Club as steward. Certainly a better choice could not have been made. "Goat" Clayborn Jones, the Yama Yama comedian, left Monday for Memphis, at which place he opens at the Savoy Theater, for a four weeks' engagement.

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.

Jack Johnson is said to have taken all his jewels with him when he went to Europe. To avoid having them return he called at his house before his departure and had his jewelry registered. There were fifteen pieces of them valued at several thousand dollars each. * A revival of the talk of a Negro Baseball League is noted. It is surprising that the league is not formed until the beginning of this season, will be remembered that the managers set to do big things, but for some reason things went bump. It is late for a league for the managers, yet excellent headway can be made for next year. In fact, that's about all that can be done—make plans for next season. The managers will stand in their own light if they do not JOHNSON SAILS FOR EUROPE Says $30,000 Would Be an Inducement to Fight a Bear. NEW YORK.-Jack Johnson, Negro champion pallist, and his wife sailed last week on the steamship Kron Prinz Wilhelm to witness the ceremonies incident. He was in King George III. Instead of obtaining a stateroom among those of the other first-cabin passengers, the Johnson's were assigned to the room ordinarily belonging to the chief steward. He was assigned that the chief steward had assigned them to a small table in a rather secluded corner of the first cabin dining salon. Johnson said he did not intend to fight aboard, but that if he was offered enough money he would fight a bear. "I'd fight a bear for about $30,000," he added. "You fight Sam Langford?" "He aint no bear," answered the Negro "he's a wild cat." WHEN EN ROUTE Champion on the Kron Prinz Wi helm. It was not until late that Jack Johnson, heavyweight champion of the world, was able to emerge from his stateroom board. Despite his protestations that he was a "good sailor", Johnson felt very uncomfortable yesterday. Today, however, he is making up for lost time. After a session in the museum in the basement, he gave a boxing exhibition with his sparring partners, which was witnessed by all the male and a goodly portion of the female passengers. The big black showed the effect of the boxing exhibition condition to enter the ring again at a moment's notice. There was no race prejudice manifested among the passengers, most of whom regard the Galveston New York boxing club. He got his sea legs ask established headquarters at one of the big tables in the corner of the smoking room and kept the cops popping for some time. He insisted that he have a good time and that he had plenty of money with which to pay for it. TALKING ABOUT THE COLORED SCRAPPERS. Parson Davies is more or less known to fighting fame. Not long since, someone growing reminiscent, said that Parson Davies armored Armstrong at one time with the armor of making another of him—thought he would be able to succeed Peter Jackson. In height, reach and general development, Armstrong was a duplicate of the famous victories with the big black, when he unfortunately pitted him against Childs, the latter knocked Bob out, and repeated in the second trial. Armstrong was never much better than Childs, but became known as one of the best starring partners in the country, a captain in which he served Langford, later starred in his stars. It was his fear of Childs that prevented him from possibly forging to the front. Frank had it on him at all stages, so he could never overcome his nerveness regarding the formidable Childs. Even ohn L. Sullivan was set down as best learn to put it mildly, of Peter Jackson's work. He was in the height of his fame he refused consent to meet Peter, on the old familiar drawing the color line. He was criticized for his lack of familiarity, finally agreed to box asskon, but the contest was suddenly called off on account a slum in the pugilistic game on the cover of his book. Sullivan resumed his original stand and could not be persuaded to join issues with him under any circumstances. Popular in this respect he impressed in the respect left the impression on the $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakness, manhood, falling memory and lame drains, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains or the furlows of youth, that has cared so many worn and nervous men right in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly could have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I convinced it is the surrealist-acting combination of delft manhood and vior failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in a book so that man anywhere who is weak and sick can have with repeated failures may stop drugging medicines, secure with harmful patent medicines, secure with restorative, upbuilding, SPOT CHING remedy ever devised, and so curry myself at home quietly and quickly. Just drug me. E. Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Darrell Mich, and I will send you a copy of the thankful receipt in a plain culinary envelope for charge. Many doctors would $30.00 to or merely write out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. public mind that he was really afraid of the giant Negro. It has frequently been asserted that Langford is not the gamenest person in the world, and will not stand the strain of a protracted struggle without losing fear. He greatly deserves troops his man in short order, and there is a good reason for believing that he cannot go a distance. The Kauffman adherents aver that Langford is afraid of the forks of his man. Sam and his manager sidestepped big Al. Philadelphia affair, also that they have shown no great eagerness to come to terms with Kaufman since. But so far his manager Langford lacks heart, although the suspicion remains in some folks' minds. As regards Negro boxers, some of the best of them are subject to a sort of hoo-doo idea, which often tends to make them more aggressive with regard to certain opponents. Faced with Walt McCoy though ordinarily able to take a fierce punching and come up grinning for more, quit deliberately on the coast in twelve minutes of play, and kept the memory of his first encounter with the Kid two years before, in which Lavigne was made the recipient of an awful beating during the earlier stages of the battles with the Chippewa in canning around the ring at the finish, still fresh in his mind. Walcott accordingly suffered from nervous prostration, so we want to call it that, and went to the jail, where he was Frank Childs, the colored Chicago heavyweight. The latter always believed that he could whip Walcott, and for years Sam Summerfield, manager of the team, trained Walcott with challenges for a match. Walcott refused the most tempting propositions to cross arms with his dusky skin until 1902, when he signed the men for a bout in Chicago. Walcott got a right wallop in the wind early in the battle, but he took whatever heart he had left out of it. In the third round he was beautifully refuted and he came up for the fourth, refused to be coaxed out, and could not continue. Childs was declared the winner, and everyone present said it was a clear case of quit. Nor was Walcott coaxed into the ring with childs again. CHICAGO, ILL.

KANSAS CITY, Kan.—At last Kansas City has a baseball team, the fastest and aggregation of ball players in the West. They play at home, and their name by which the club will be known, and they do not belle their name, for every baseball-playing one of them is a player. They are the best players for they are one of the headliest and the cleanest all-roundbuch of baseball hustles that ever touched a bat. And that they are the best players—and they, above all others, ought to know, for they have received three of the smallest dubbings, three of the most painstaking battings any gang ever received in a game. They are the masters on the Western domain, to doff their caps and own—even if they do it reluctantly—that the masters on the Western domain are the masters on the Western domain go even farther than that; they will confess that the above mentioned team is the fastest, the most accurate and hardest to beat, the lords that ever denoted baseball uniforms. What is more, their downfall was wittened their friends. All three of their defenses were broken and their friends—friends that rooted and booted and called, but the Kansas City (Kan.) Giants attended to business; and when the Giants came, came Royal Giants were the most-begun hopeless looking bunch of baseball players that ever graced a diamond. Race to their ashes. May their slumbers be disturbed for cons and cows of years. The score of those three games stand thus: First game—11 to 2. Second game—4 to 1. Third game—4. The team featured all three of their games by consistent rangling with the umpires because they refused to call the ball when it was in the owner's side. The true baseball fans of Kansas City wish to ask this question, believing that a correct answer may help the struggling team with whom they are in the owner. Would not the presence of the owner team put an extra amount of ginger in the boys? Should he come out and see his teammates play better, the bitter dregs of defeat? We wonder. EVANSVILLE, IND. Evansville Team Outclasses Terre Haute Columbia Giants The Evansville B. B.'s clearly outclassed the Terre Haute Columbia Giants in a double-header, played at Central League Park, last week.

Dear Sir—Will you kindly allow me since you are valuable paper to say a work in behalf of the proposed Negro Baseball League? As a park owner and one who is interested in baseball, I say, let's get busy and organize this fall. The Kansas City end of the league is ready and willing to do its work. Without a legue Negro baseball is bound to go down. There are too many would-be managers and too many unreliability to transition to two inhances of unreliability that have come to my personal notice in the past thirty days. The officers of Cleveland, Ohio, signed contracts with the Kansas City THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Cliftonhill CHAMPION JACK JOHNSON IN LONDON Royal Giants to play and play a series of three games May 21, 22 and 23. The management of the Royal Giants went to deal of entire team to make and making ready for a big crowd of fans. On the 18th day of May the manager of the Kansas City Royal Giants received aogram, stating that the Tiger had didn't have enough men to show in Kansas City. Now you can imagine the position of intelligence placed the manager of the Royal Giants in, with the Kansas City fans. On June 10, 11, and 12, Elmer E. Pitts, manager of the French Lick Plutos, control team in Kansas City, and play three games based on. On June 6 Manager Walden received a telegram, stating that his team was crippled in St. Louis, and was homeward bound. Now this kind of team in Kansas Negro baseball. I am informed that other team managers are having the same trouble with teams they have booked. Now this kind of team is ready for these troubles, and that is the Negro League.
