SATURDAY, JUNE 24, 1911 HARRIET BEECHER STOWE CENTENARY A SUCCESS Lyman Beecher Stowe Makes Illuminating Address—Silver Anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. George Johnson. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 22—The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe at Lincoln Temple last Wednesday, sparing occasions known to the oldest inhabitants of the District of Columbia. The spacious edifice was crowded to the doors and standing to the rear, even evening. Many persons of both races distinguished in official, social and literary life of the community honored the colony's life the imminent arrival of the United States with their presence. The program was full of good things. It was admirably balanced and held the audience in rapt Mary Church Terrell, who is, all things considered, the race's most brilliant woman and most versatile platform speaker, presided gracefully, and gave as her contribution to the exercises a sense of joy and satisfaction requesting the attention of Mrs. Stowe from the viewpoint of the people the great writer did so much to enunciate from chattel slavery. celebration was the child of Mrs. Terrell, who in various sections were worked out to a nicety. It formed the nucleus of a cluster of similar observances held in various sections. The celebration of the tenth anniversary of the noble woman, Mrs. Terrell set an example that should be followed in the case of every conspicuous figure in the abolition of slavery and investing the Negro with the mantle of citizenship. The principal address of the evening was given by Mr. Lyman Beecher Beecher Straw, M.S. Straw, man of pleasing personality and a representative of the hustling, matter-of-fact man of today, told a great many things to his hearers, and shed heretothefore unknown light upon the circumstances whose grandmother to write her great book.

R., held a meeting was held under the auspices of the Alumni Association, of which Mr. Ferdinand D. Lee is president. A neat sum was donated to the Social Settlement working wonders in improving condition of students, a woman of "farstest down" in South Washington. The institution is now in charge of Miss Roberts, a young woman of marked executive ability, who thoroughly understands and sympathizes with the needs of the people she is endearing to reach. One of the best students being was delivered by Dr. Thomas Jesse Jones, the sus office, who as a member of the faculty of Howard and Hampton, has had opportunities to study the social problems of the Negro race from many angles. The Confirmation of Lewis. When he was in readiness for action, the president of Henry Lewis as assistant attorney-general the United States went through the senate like "greased lightning." The opposition that was to have been led by Senator Lewis as assistant attorney-general the Southern men, melted into thin air. The moral support of President Taft counted for much in the equation, as did the diplomatic missionary work of Senator Lewis as assistant attorney-general the subcommittee. Sutherland manfully by his guns for fair play. The vote was taken without debate and Mr. Lewis was confirmed without division. The senate, in the form of the cap of the administration that has thus elevated Mr. Lewis to the highest position ever held by a member of the Negro race in America, and a bigger man who reaps the benefits that come to him because of his demonstrated sagacity, integrity and competency. After all is said and done, a large measurement of the formation belongs to Mr. Lewis himself. He assumed the reins of office, and at once devoted himself to the work in hand. He put in some hard study on the subject, and he no effort to shine in "society" of any kind, and laid the ghost of the "social equality" that some timorous soul thought he was seeking. He eschewed the grave looked like an animated panorama beside the silence that pervaded his vicinity. Nary a speech did he make—except the one before the committee by his familiarity with the law governing his case, winning "hands down" for the government. He not only proved his ability as a lawyer, but convinced the senate that he was need for an attorney for the government on Indian depredation claims. The confirmation of Mr. Lewis set- tion that the current race race can now go on other problems. Dr. Wilder Still a Candidate for Haiti Notwithstanding the broad hints that the Haitian mission is not open to applicants at this time, the friends of Dr. R. I. R. R. oder of its city, are concluding to urge an in assemblage of Minister Furniss' old shoes, and gave it out that they have a big chance to win ultimately, when a change is to be made. Dr. Wilder is one of the "original Tad men," and he must have gilt-tarned endorsements of friend of Dr. Furniss, likewise optimistic about his tenure, declare that his consent to remain at Port-au-Prince was given at the request of the Presidential Council, and a change in the near future probably not before the presidential election in 1912. Dr. Furniss' splendid record, his skill in diplomacy, the strategic position of the French in the multiplicity of candidates in the field, all told in favor of the retention of the clever Hoosier statesman. The sympathies of the "Black Cabinet" were with Furniss against the field. Auditor Tyler Not to Blame. From facts that have become public there seems no ground for the rumor that the demotion of Mr. Oliver Randolph one of the editors of the Washington Post will toward him on the part of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler, in whose office he has been serving as a clerk for the past two years or more. It appears that the reduction in the appropriation of the Navy Department made the transfer of twelve clerks imperative. Mr. Tyler, in response to the request of the Treasury authority, with a肩 of service and efficiency rating attached, The Board of Personnel, passing upon the records of the clerks in question, named Mr. Randolph among those in the Navy Department. The only position at the disposal of the Board to which Mr. Randolph could be assigned at this time was one carrying a somewhat smaller salary. Mr. Tyler's friends did not complain, and personal feeling to enter into the matter; that he was not moved to action because of any uncompensatory newspaper publications ascribed to him, it is claimed that Mr. Tyler, broad of mind, yet conscientious in the discharge of his duty, studiously refrained from interfering one way or the other with the departmental routine governing cases of this kind. "Dick" Green a Grandfather. Mr. Richard Green, known to everybody as "Dick," for many years attached to the office of the Secretary of the Treasury, s the proudest man in town. He is a grandfather, a boy, which took place last Friday morning. Its parents are Mr. and Mrs. Andrew J. Payne, of 307 Elm street, Le Droit Miss Ms. Payne, former Miss Marion Green, was a prominent society belle prior to her marriage, and also served with credit as a clerk in the office of the Auditor of the Navy Department, poen hearted of the army, youthful government official, Mr. Tyler sent to the family a beautiful monograph, an appreciation of the joys of parenthood and childhood. A telegram came from Hon. Frank A.

The range is under command of Major Arthur Brooks, the race's finest drillmaster, of the Army, he also military instructor of the Highland Cadets and confidential assistant to President Taft. The First Separate Battalion stands high in the efficiency record but is trying now to outdo all former efforts. In order to break all records for a attendance, the officers of the battalion contributed a prize to the men who make the highest scores in ordered practice. This has resulted in an increased attendance range is open for voluntary practice. The grade and number of officers and men qualified in the First Separate Battalion are: staff, 1 expert, 1 marksmanship, 1 marksmanship, 1 company B, 2 marksmanship, 1 company B, 2 company D, 3 marksmanship. Major Brooks says he is confident his team will give a satisfactory account of itself on the basis as it has always done so herefore. "Tim" Fortune "in the Harness" Again. The Washington friends of the veteran T. Thomas Fortune rejoice to hear he is again charged with the warmth. He has again charge of the game management and editorial direction of the Rochester Sentinel, on the old stamping grounds of Frederick Douglass can the "North Star" at Rochester the "fortite." Some say Mr. Fortune will receive the historic title of "The North Star," changing from the Sentinel. In any event, he will be the subject of subsequent efforts in the field he has chosen. A young man yet, in the prime of a virile manhood, there ought to be lots of work in him. Fortune. The ruse need to win him the most effective—in the sanctum sanctorum of a journal where he can have full swing. Told in a Paragraph. There is said to be no truth in the rumor that W. Calvin Chase, Jr., s a candidate for the position of law clerk for the assistant Assistant General W. H. Lewis, who Mr. Chase is not a graduate in law, and is therefore ineligible. It is understood that Mr. Chase is a candidate for a place in the District service. It is said that Dr. Harrison, the assistant Cabinet" have been asked to endorse him on the score of the "usefulness" of Calvin Chase, Sr., who sometimes writes "pieces" in the Washington Bee. Good luck to you, President Taft! May you live to celebrate many more such pleasant anniversaries. If clouds must come, may they ever have such a glorious "silver" lining. Lawyer J. M. Harrison and Dr. J. S. Mills, of Norfolk, Va., were in town last week on business connected with the Eiks. They say there will be a big and harmonious convention of the order at the Eiks.

We believe that the following editorial taken from the Louisville Morning Herald will serve as a foor for the great host of graduates that have gone out from the past scholastic year: "The graduates, they are coming by thousands from all the colleges of the land. Young men and women with four years of culture piled up in ten years of common and school education, behind them. And what is before them? "A few have so much money that it makes little difference. Some have good places waiting for them. But the vast majority face the stern struggle for existence. "In an ideal world every man and woman would find a liberal education 'all to the god.' It broadens the horizon, opens the world to new possibilities and a title for finer things. But appetites demand food. Unsatisfied hunger is not inspiring. A taste for things you can not have is dreadfully uncomfortable. Here is our toast to the graduates: 'If you can not get a private box or even a front door to the theater of life, you must sit back with the spoof folks, don't let your education spoil your enjoyment of the show.'" --- Mr. William Foster of West Chestnut street, who was seriously hurt a short time ago by falling from one of the windows in an improved rapidly.

The annual class re-union given this year was the meeting of the 1800 was one of the leading social events of the commencement season and will be remembered for a long time by those who were present. A very attractive invitation was sent out a time ago to inviting the members of the class to be present at the eleventh anniversary of the class of 1900 at the Bishop Dudley Memorial, June 15th. A very interesting event was rendered mingled with musical drama of the Danny, who was at one time principal of Central High School, was present and delivered a very touching address regarding the by-gone school days. Rev. William was rendered tarnished, delivered the principal's elaborate menu was served. For a brief time business cares and worries were to their thoughts reverted to the time when their bles occupied their minds and attention. They all decided that after all school days were happy ones and are appreciated much more after one has been out of school.

By Prof. Burt G. Wilder, Cornell University. I was asked to speak of the brain, and was also told that I might emphasize my opinion of the African race by a few words upon a different subject. I entered the medical service of the army in July, 1862, and to be commissioned in the spring of 1863 as one of the medical staff of the Fifty-fifth Massachusetts Infantry (correct) of the Colored community, white or black, do not realize under what circumstances those two regiments, the Fifty-fifth and Fifty-fourth, went into the field. Of the community and the prejudice of the government, but in the face of Confederate declarations to the effect that if captured they should be treated as runners in the following extract from Col. Henry Lee's "Shaw Monument Address" 1897, pp. 58-59: "No one can appreciate the herism of the army, the sneers of the multitude of Massachusetts regiments, without adding to the savage threats of the enemy the disapprobation of friends, the antipathy of the army, the sneers of the multitude of soldiers, and the rear as well as in front. One must have the highest form of courage not to shrink from such dismaying solitude." The composition and record of the Fifty-fifth are indicated in the following tables: Table X—Some statistics of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (colored), the commissioned officers were white, who Coltaw T. Garrison, was a son who white, Coltaw Smith (1892) called "a moral crusader." Total number of enlisted men, 880; mixed blood, 430; apparently pure black, 550; had been slaves, 247; could read and write, 9; could read or write 184; were members, 52; were married, 219; died from disease, 112; killed in action or died from wounds, 54. Table II.—Ab胶ed record of the enlisted of the Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry (colored). January 26, 1863, authority of Secretary of War for enlistment on same terms as white soldiers—$13.00 per month, plus $1.00 per month for enlistment. 26, 1863, enrollment began. July 25, 1863, service in South began. November 28, 1863, refused $10.00 per month, pay for laborers, less $3.00 for clothing. December 1883, refused $10.00 per month, pay for laborers, setts. 1883, persistent refusal of lower pay. June 18, 1864, one shot while resisting an officer. July 2, 1864, battle of Rivers Causeway. Look initiative in October 1883, battle of Rivers Causeway. Look initiative in October 1883, battle of Rivers Causeway. October 7, 1864, first payment, after more than 14 months. October, 1864, celebration decorous; all loans repaid; by Adams Express Company; families. November 30, 1864, battle of Honey Hill. Out of 360 engaged, 32 were killed and 8 wounded. September 23, 1865, mustered out. The enlistment had been ardently engaged in the siege of Charleston, S. C. in the summer of '63 for some months, the paymaster appeared with orders to pay the enlisted men ten dollars a month, the wage of laborers, less three dollars The Fifty-fourth and Fifty-fifth had been enlisted in Massachusetts under orders of the secret of War, which decreed that they should not under and under Andrew, and with full understanding upon the part of everyone concerned in Massachusetts and with the understaffing of the army, that were to be treated in every respect like white troops, the pay of which was thirteen dollars besides the regular uniform. The men consulted and decided that they were to be treated in the twenty-eighth of November. December, knowing the circumstances, knowing that a good many of them were without other means, that some were married, and that others had mothers or fathers or friends whom they were to treat, that sets passed a law to the effect that provisionally the State should make up the difference between what was offered by the United States and what the men felt The state commissioners and the officers of the regiment urged the men to accept this compromise for the sake of the war, but they also suited and decided, almost unanimously, that they would not take the money. They said: "We have not enlisted in our army, and we have no hope of our country and for the future of our race, and we will take nothing until the United States government pays what is our due and what we were promised when we enlisted." They passed. The men continued to work, to watch, to fight—and to wait for justice. The meantime a few of them lost control of themselves—some of us whites lose control of ourselves sometimes—and one resisted an officer. For this offense I saw the man shot. The government did not and law was applied to otherwise that as a labor could, nevertheless, find law to shoot him as a soldier. During this payless period both regiments bravely. The attack of the Fifty-fourth upon Fort Wagner (see Emilio, Halloween, Lee and Kenard) could not be surpassed for heroism. Col. Shaw an the other officers valorously supported by the enlisted men. If it is said Negro soldiers merely follow their officers and do what they are told. I reply that on one occasion when I was in the Army, I retired, the enlisted man rushed forward, captured two field pieces and fired them upon the retreating foe. If, again, it be a case of a man being injured, fight, and physical courage is shared with the brutes, then I reply that these men displayed moral courage an unselfish determination above in respect to their pay. Nor was this all. When at last the United States government came to the aid of the Negro, justice, fourteen months after their service began, then these men received their money, and they had a celebration not nearly as boisterous as that in a college town after the victory of an athletic team. To refute the declaration that the Negro, when he gets his money, squanders it, I add that out of that first payment I received, by the Adams Express Company alone—not counting express companies and other means of conveyance—there was sent home by these soldiers, many of whom were Negro soldiers. Nor is this all. Some months earlier, at the urgent request of the soldiers, at the request of the officers, had loaned various sums to them, and out of what had been loaned during that year and a quarter by the officers, in sums ranging from $10,000 to $100,000, there is not on record or in recollection a single instance in which payment was not made, and made in the form of a salary, the solider would have do under similar circumstances. But could they have behaved any better? I hereby a student of natural history, I have appealed to several professors of unnatural history, and have failed as yet to learn that, taking into account all the circumstances of the soldiers' regiments, there has never been a finer example of self-reunciation and sacrifice for the sake of what was regarded Shall we now deny civil and political rights and educational and industrial opportunities to men merely because of their weakness?

This Percy is a son of the Duke of Northumberland, and they are the present representatives of the family to which Harry Percy, the hotspur of Shakespeare, is held. It is an aristocratic family, and it is somewhat surprising that one of them should be the guest of an American Negro, "Hotspur" is the most brilliant and interesting personal daring and irrepressible in the dialogue, with a humorous imagination, and infused with an invincible fighting spirit, overcome finally by "Prince Hal."

OF LOS ANGELES. ae ee Ce ee Sen RACES Oey a The colored people of Los Anxeles. Cal., have demonstrated not only to the other cities of California, but to every city, hamlet and village ‘in the United States, their most unusual capability, thrift and public-spiritedness by sub- scribing $29,000 for the erection of a colored ¥. M. C, A” building. Knowing that other cities have raised much larger sums than this for a.simi- lar purpose make such an. amount ap- pear Insignificant until one. considers the fact that the colored population of Los “Angeles numbers approximately 12,000. You can readily ‘see how tre- mendous with this task, By so nobly performing this task the colored people of Los Angeles have won the respect of the white citizens, have set a precedent for the Negroes of other cities and have made it possible to erect a $100,000 building to be owned and controlled by the members of the race. For some time previous to the cam- paign Secretary‘. A, Green and his board of directors had been considering different ways to secure the $25,000 of- fered by Mr, Rosenwald, a Chicago millionaire, to any, colored ¥. M. C. A raising $75,000. They. concluded that It would be impossible to raise such ar enormous sum amons the small colored population of Los Angeles, ‘They conferred with the white ¥. M. ©. A. and with that greatness of soul that” has always characterized — the masses of the white peaple of Los An- geles, the central association took the matter into consideration and finally made this proposition: ‘That if the col ered people of Los Angeles would raise $37,500 the white association would do- hate $37,000, making a grand total of $79,000, “thereby securing Mr. Rosen- Wwald’s $25,000. ‘The offer was no sooner made than Secretary Green began marshaling his forces for the battle, and. the waten- word became “$37,500 In. ten. days. or bust!” “Mr. ‘T. W. “Troy, a young bust- hess man and Christian gentleman of this city, was installed as chairman of the campaign committee. Messrs, Fred- erick M, Roberts and Junius H. Stevens Were appointed captains of Divisions A and B, respectively. Mr. ‘Troy lost no time in calling a mecting of the various committees for the purpose of further organizing and instructing them in the campaign work, In this meeting he spoge for some min- utes in an unassuming, Christian, man- ner, and said: “In the name of God and of my race I wish to start this cam- paign by giving $1,000 as a subserip- tion to the fund!” Immediately pandemonium _ reigned. Hands were clapped until they were red from friction. The name of “Troy” Was wildly acclaimed on all sides. ‘The committeemen vented their enthusiasm in subseriptions of. from. $100. to. $400, and at the close of the meeting $5,200 had been donated by twenty-seven men in less than thirty minutes, an amount, T dare say, never subscribed before by that same ‘number of Negroes for any purpose whatever, ‘Two great mass-meetings were held during the campaign, one at the Wes- ley M. I. church, where the work was Inaugurated, and’ one at the A.M.

THE REPUBLIC OF LIBERIA. By Geo. W. Ellis, K. C. F. B. G. 8. ‘The government of Liberia, like the government of the United States, 1s vested in a written constitution, tod- pled after that of the United States, but adapted to the Liberian ‘situation. It is said to be a most admirable political document, improving in. some particu- lars upon that of the American Consti- tution, ‘The government Is divided into three ‘parts—iegislative, executive and Judicial, ‘The Executive Government, ‘The executive government of Liberia consists of the president, vice-president and the seven heads of departments. of state. ‘The vice-president. is ex-officlo president of the Senate and corresponds fo the vice-president in the United States. In former years the president and Vice-president were elected for @ term of two years, but three years ago the Liberian constitution was amended, extending the term to four years, the same as the United States, The’ first president served eight years, four sue- cessive terms, and declined to run again and set the precedent which since has restricted the occupancy of the presi- deney to eight successive years, Presi ident Roberts, after serving elyht years, Was elected axain after two or three others had served in that capacity. It should be of interest to know that Mus, Roberts, his wife, is now living In Bat- tleburee Park, London. The executive departments are the Secretary of State, Secretary of ‘Treas- ury, Attorney-General, Secretary of In- terior, Secretary of War and Navy, Su- perintendent of Public Instruction’ and the Postmaster-General. ‘The heads of the departments are commonly. termed members of the Cabinet, holding. their offices during the pleasure of the Presi- Gent, and their appointment must be confirmed by the Senate, as in the United States, ‘The Legislative Department. ‘The Liberian government for purposes of representation in the national lesis- lation is divided into counties or prov- inces and territories. It differs ‘from the United States in’ that the counties, corresponding to the states in the United States, have no local legislature. ‘Phere are four counties—Montserrado, Basa. Sino and Maryland. ‘There is one terriory, Grand Cape Mount. Montser- rado is’ the largest county and contains Monrovia, the capital. Basa is one of the chief counties for interior trade and Cape Palmas, in Maryland, is important as being the center of the once inde- pendent state of Maryland. Each coun- ty under the constitution has two sena- tors, making eight senators for the Li- berian Senate, ‘At the formation of the constitution the senators held their office for four years, but three years ago it was ex- tended to six years, so that so far as the terms of Liberian executive and legislative officers are concerned they are the same as in the United States. ‘TShe matter of selecting the members for the legislature has been a difficult problem for the Liberian counties, and they have solved it temporarily _ by agreeing that Montserrado county, Sino county and Basa county should’ have each three representatives In. the lower House of the national legislature. Montserrado county constitutes four Tepresentatives, making a House of Representatives of thirteen members from four counties. The territory of Cape Mount was granted one representa tive and the members of certain native tribes were accorded representatives in the lower House with the right to be heard upon legislation affecting the na- tive tribes. “Phe Speaker of the House of Representatives is chosen by mem- HOTEL DALE Cape May, N.

They hold their offices during 200d behavior.” ‘The inferior courts are. the courts of quarter sessions and common Pleas, one for cach county and one for the territory of Cape Mount, and they meet as our county courts of the states, once in three months. Their terms are Limited to two weeks for jury trials and one week for equity “matters. The Judges of the courts of quarter sessions are appointed and hold their offices as the members of the supreme court, dur- ing good behavior, which in many. te- spects Is an improvement upon the ten- ure of similar judicial officers in the United States. Hac htownship and city has courts of Justices of the peace, whose officers are appointed by the Pres: ‘ident and hold their offices for a time ‘specified in their commission. ‘The members pf the judiciary have not been confined luntil recently to. selections made from members of the bar, but from now on no one can hold a judiciary office unless he is a member of the pro- fession and has had some experience and knowledge of the law. ‘The President has the power to suspend a judge under charges, but the suspension to consti- tute ‘removal must be ratified by two- thirds of the legislature, so that it is as difficult to remove a judiciary official In Liberia as it is to remove a. federal Judge In the United States, Conclusion. The President and Vice-President are glected on May 5, once every four years. ‘They enter upon their executive func- tions on the first day of January, auc- ceeding their election In “May. making about eight months between election and inauguration. ‘This is said to be one of the weaknesses of the Liberian consti- ‘tution, as it is contended that a hostile outgoing administration or a bad one is retained too long before a change can be nauurated ‘The legislature meets on the first Monday in December of each year and convenes until about the end of Febru- ary, sometimes holding over when busi- hess requires. ‘The supreme court meets on the 15th of January annually. and continues until it has disposed of the work of the session. Tt is indeed inter- esting to note the harmony between the several branches of the Liberian gov- ernment and the respect which the peo- ple show to public officials and the re- zard they entertain for the administra- tion of Liberian law. ‘The Liberian zov- ernment is a splendid tribute to Negro Statesmanship anda complete refuta- tion of the idea that the Negro in gov- ernment is any different or any less capable than anybody else. ‘The work- ing and operation of the Liberian eov- ernment, If properly written up, would he an inspiration to Negroes not only in the United States, but throughout the oie. PLAN FOR THE CO-ORDINATION OF THE WORK IN COLORED SCHOOLS. A conference of general secretaries and presidents engaged in the work of the education of the colored people was held in connection with the recent con- ference for education in the South at Jacksonville. Secretaries and _presi- Gents were present representing nearly fifty schools. Dr. W. P. Thirkield, of Howard University, was made chairman and Dr. Douglass, of the American Mis- sionary Association, secretary. ‘This meeting was pursuant to a call issued at a previous meeting in connec: tion with the Religious Education Asso- ciation at Providence in February. The report of Secretary Douglass speaks of the wide range of topics covered in the @iscussion. including the unwarranted names and unsupported claims made by many Negro schools; competition be. tween institutions and congestion of Schools at certain centers; appropriate standards for Negro education, and how they difter from those for other schools: methods. by which the educationa Standards of White Southern. schools have been raised. ‘The discussion was throughout concrete rather tha ntheo: retical, and there was much helpful ex- change of free suggestions. It was agreed that the first need of the situa- tion Is adequate and accurate Informa- tion, and it was voted ‘That the representatives of Nesro ed- ueation here present. respectfully, re- quest the committee of the Home Mis- sions Council on Negro Work to under- take a comprehensive investigation of the privately. supported secondary and higher institutions for Negroes with a view to encouraging a larger co-opera- tion between them, and that the com- mittee. make recommendation in’ the light of the investigation, hotel is the beautiful grill room.

The coronation was a bloomin' success in spite of some nawsty weather, don't you know. We get the President on the 4th of July, the nation's biggest day. Now that's going some. Just so they manage it so that we all can see the President on the Fourth, the rest will be all right. W. T. Vernon is fixed, finally. Well, everybody was praying for him, or pulling—doing something one way or the other. The Mississippi Negro Business League is maintaining its splendid lead as the foremost local league in the country. No married man in Vienna, Austria, is allowed to go up in a balloon without the consent of the wife and children. Why, the long-headed Austrians! W. H. Lewis went in without a serious hitch, as assistant United States attorney. Things seem to be getting in most excellent shape for 1912 so far as the colored brother is concerned. Hon. J. E. Bush is very much interested in having a good showing of the race at the National Negro Business League at Little Rock in August. He says that it is just as far from Little Rock to New York as it is from New York to Little Rock. Mr. Bush is simply gently serving notice that he attends the meetings and others from Little Rock and the state wherever they are held. And they do. Perhaps no state sends forward a more representative delegation than Arkansas. The citizens now hope to see the spirit of reciprocity shown. The ideal is in thyself, the impediment, too, is in thyself; the condition is but the stuff thou are to shape that same ideal out of—Carlyle. This is blucc old Carlyle, who is known for the plain way in which he blurs out the truth. Most poetical expressions when setting forth truths, do so in very high colors, requiring often more than is possible to do. This, however, is in interest of the thing to be done. "To say "the ideal is in thy self" and hence attainable is both pretty and true without exaggeration. If there is failure it is instances and not in the rule, hence the rule is established. "The impediment, too, is in thyself," and it follows that it may be removed if the individuals so wills. But there's the rub. The individual doesn't care to lopp out a habit that appears to add to his worldly happiness. What's the use? is generally the question when struggling to maintain the path that leads to the hoped for. THE OTHER SIDE. It appears that Harriet Beecher Stowe's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" proved a great source of annoyance to her. Most persons have thought that she deliberately set about to write a story for the purpose of helping the cause of abolition. From all that is now known she loved the Southern people and intended to help them by proving that they were of kindness and had sympathy rather than the cruel task-masters they were thought to have been. She shewed her characters in support of the theory. She shewed Once Tom's masters, two of them humane and kind, the third she made a monster in human nesh—a Northerner. But her nie discrimination in portrayal or characters was lost sight of in the more momentous thing. The institution was attacked as it from a sailed hand which had the end wen in mind from the very beginning. The institution attacked, meant capital attacked; of here was the wealth of the South present and prospective—wrapped up in Negro slaves. Mrs. Stowe could not stem the tide. Her good purposes toward the South were swept away by the avaliance or criticism because the system was condemned. She truly built better than she knew. She would gladly have renounced half of her lame if she could have gained some small part or the affections of the Southern people. her grief was poguant because she loved them as individuals, if she is to be believed. Love in kind was not tendered her. Anathema Marantha for harriet Beecher Stowe was the unanimous decision and which took no cognizance of good intentions. She had helped despoil them of their possessions and the penalty had to be paid, as it were, by contemptuous silence or withering speech. If we are to believe that divinity was in the thing, then we will also believe that she was an instrument in the Maker's hand. God told her to write, says she; she could not withstay her hand. And she also died that the ends of the earth might be accomplished, even as Jesus Christ died. Hers was ostracism in a way, criticism North and South, wherein she felt to have had the guilt of the world cast on her—the blood of war, rapine, arson, and all of the hellish transactions incident to intercine strife. $200 FOR THE BEST CORN. A. Eugene Thompson, of Lincoln Institute, Berea, Ky., recently offered a prize of $200 for the best corn raised by colored farmers. One would think that such an offer would not go a begging, since it was meant for good of the farmers. Offers similar are being made right along, noted in agricultural journals and for the purpose of getting the best returns from given conditions. This is in the interest of development in the meanwhile; thus, while the yield is larger, insuring more money, the result is more satisfactory by way of the product itself, having in mind that the most perfect is the most desirable. Mr. Thompson felt that his offer was an opportunity. And it should have been; and it is, since the farmer is in the business and has nothing to lose in trying to do greater things. We would think that the tendency of the good, conscientious workman in whatever capacity is to do better whether there are prizes or otherwise. The prize of success is a mighty stimulant and we think it is thus generally viewed. But regardless of the prize of success, human nature is wonderfully buoyed up when the work is to be tested at the end, and a prize that proclaims the victory attaches whether of money or trophy. Knowing this, it is surprising that Mr. Thompson was not deluged with inquiries concerning the $200 he offered for the best corn. It, however, does not seem that way. He complains because only a very few have taken advantage of his offer. From what we understand, it costs nothing to enter the contest. It is being conducted under the auspices of a school that expects to make agriculture one of the leading phases. THE ROSENWALD GENEROSITY. It is thought that Julius Rosenwald the Chicago philanthropist who has been offering $25,000 to colored Y. M. C. A. bodies on condition that they raise $75,000, will make a corresponding offer where it is impossible to raise so much owing to the size of the localities. The New York Post, in commenting on the situation, said in a recent issue: "As we stated at the time the offer was made, the possibilities for good in this movement are very great. The athletic, educational and social features of a flourishing Young Men's Christian Association, housed in a spacious, attractive and dignified building, supply an element that is perhaps more acutely needed than any other for the development of morals among the colored youth of our cities, at a time that is in many ways the most critical in their lives. There are, perhaps, not many cities in which a build-in so large and expensive as tha contemplated by Mr. Rosenwald can be provided, or is needed; but there are certainly a number of such, and in each of them it is to be hoped that the example of the capital will be speedily followed. And when the limitations of this particular type become evident, we have little doubt that Mr. Rosenwald will gladly make a corresponding offer on a smaller scale, for cities whose colored population falls below some specified limit." The Freeman said when the offer was first made, that many cities could not take advantage of the offer because they had no prospects of raising $75,000. It has proven that way. But the offer has not been in vain, since a few cities have come up to the requirement, and consequently have merited the $25,000. A reduction in proportion—as to amount required to be raised and the amount offered as a gift would be a great incentive for smaller communities. Smaller communities are more susceptible to proper influences than larger ones. If the foundation is well laid where there is a tendency toward the good the result will be lasting. And when these young men who have been correctly trained from the beginning go to the great centers they will carry this training with them. The hope of the big towns, in all respects, seem to be on the smaller towns, with their well trained output. An institution of salvation is for more efficacious than one of redemption. Solomon said something about training the child in the way it would go and when it is old it will not depart from it. The Catholic church has taken advantage of that human principle, the truth of which is centuries old. We hope that the tire distinguished Jew will see where he can break his gift into parts and thus make it easy for small communities to profit by his generosity, thus helping in the thing of salvation which is more readily accomplished than redemption. THE HAITIAN MINISTERSHIP. The retention of Mr. Furniss as minister to Hayti was evidently thought the best way out of what promised to be a very ugly muddle. And it promised to be no less than that when individuals began to act as if they had proprietary rights in the matter. It had been fairly conceded that the appointment would come to Indiana. This meant to the minds of many Indianapolis, which finally meant a certain one individual whose claims to the position was mostly supported by his activity in being in evidence. To be fair, this does not mean that the candidate did not have support of influence. But to be fair to the community also, it was the same general kind that goes to those that diligently seek. Nor is this meant in disagreement to the individual. We mean that the politician's endorsement was not THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. wanting, but that such endorsement goes to those who would have it as a rule; it is not peculiar. It may or may not mean something. Such endorsement is by no means to be despised, since in many instances it is the total hope of a candidate; then again it is utterly valueless viewed from the standpoint of quantity. The candidate in question, in our belief, did not value as much as he should the friendship of the forces of his race that would have joined those of his white friends, thus making for a oneness of sentiment. That he did not have this unsolicited may speak a condition that was not so complimentary. This has in mind qualifications from the standpoint of party efficiency, which includes reasonable regularity; and, of course, fitness by way of intellect which means more than what is implied in the term. Grace of manner of speech are among the attributes, together with a rare discernment—all of which summed up says diplomacy. Whoever the successful candidate may be, we think, will find it necessary to fit in with the things mentioned in a fair way, to say the least. The chances are that no position equals the requirement as usually thought, or rather, expected, by those who do the selecting, or even those who think of such positions in the best sense. Yet the ideal is established, and for the good of the cause men must toe the mark. Qualifications of individuals get to be known as a rule; not always the extent of technical education. Not that close up information gets to be known, but an idea of the man impresses itself, somehow, and in such a way that one is not often mistaken. When one thinks of a minister to foreign lands one thinks of the candidate in the light of the foregoing. One readily thinks of Dr. W. H. Furniss as being splendidly equipped in the essentials to the situation, and as the world views it. It is left to others as to what other individuals in Indiana or Indianapolis who could have subscribed thoroughly to the requirements. KANSAS CITY, MO.

There is nothing but praise for the officers and men from the colonel down. The excesses were one of the largest that ever happened a pay attraction in the history of Calhoun. The Galaxes of colors in dress of the sex was as big a show as the soldier bows and the real action of the men and their different feats, their sham battle was so real that nothing but a soldier could have pulled off such acts, their daring and the audience to their feet time after time. The Eighth made a day for themselves that will take its place among the celebrities who will be attending the future the whole colored race will look for some set Sunday in June to see their pride of their race participate in war antics. The battle and their games were the highlight of the day, the finest enclosed grounds in Chicago has the reputation of being the finest baseball park in the country. The day was filled with the excitement dressed in the latest National Guard form. Their unconcerned business like methods in getting things into shape and the different trumpets blowing taps that were so dazzling responded to by the men of the muskets, the muskets their own monster military band recreated off enthusiastic music, taken all in all, would cheer up the most down-hearted soothe.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Far from his father and his home, From friends and enemies alike, From his beloved partner "Dike." No more on earth to roam. LOUISVILLE (KY.) THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chest nut Street.) Mr. Murphy, of the team of Murphy and Francis, who have been starring in some of our best theaters in the country, one of the interested fans at the park. Murphy, of the team, plays on the game, of course, and lost, because he was betting against the Cubs. He then changed his method and bet against the Lelands, and, of course, the Lelands won. Mr. Murphy may be all right on the stage, but he cannot pick a winning team. The following are starring at the Lyre this week: Warfield and Campbell, in a duel duh. The Boys From Home. Miss Elvira duh. The Boys From Home. Cooper. Dainty musical and dancing soubrettes, featuring Spanish and ragtime songs, their costumes were very fine.

Miss Bessie Jones, prizefind of Parkland school, will hold her closing exercises at the Houston. The bill at the Garden theater the week beginning June 19, was one of the best that could be gotten together. May Jones, a dashing soubrette, opened the patrons' audience. Next on the bill was Laughing Lou Lamar, one of the greatest monologists in vaudville, who easily won the patrons of the spacious theater. The audience was a scream. The audience was a scream. She received encore after encore and willingly submitted to the whims of the anxious. Closing the bill was Harper and Gilliam, a pair of real hapless patrons. These two young men are beyond doubt the best team in vaudville. William D. Evans, the popular manager of D. Evans, uses every effort to secure the best acts ever, the patrons, and through his agent, Chas. O. Harding, of Chicago, who is the only booking agent in America that can keep colored performers going, he anticipates the next week. This week, in addition to the performance, the management will open a palm garden that will be the only place of amusement on the kind in the Falls City. We earnestly thank the superb orchestra at the Garden theater, under the direction of Wm. H. Tayler, is without an equal.

Minnehaha Theater. Big "odin's" at this play house last week. Bright and Bright are two fun characters, and it comes to provoking laughter from an audience. Their dialogue is high-class and is delivered with good taste. Maggie Harvey is very clever and dainty singing and dancing comedienne. T. Spencer Finley was there and you can see what he is doing thing doing along the laughing line. Finley had things his way all the time he stood on the boards. There was no time.

CINCINNATI, O., June 26—The Pekin opened Monday night with another strong bill, the headliners were Brown & Delk (Ross & Riho). A very popular skirt was the Dekk, which was worn seven days (when Delk and Brown comes to town). This was the "Q" for the opener, and when the doors were thrown open for the first show a full house was waiting on the outside, and the manager was coming last show at 10:30, so large was the waiting crowd. It is very hard to describe just what these two lugubrious brown skins are doing to entertain the people, but whatever it is they are screening them in an entertainment that the patronage like and it's the kind they will pay to see. Some singing, some dancing, and some talking, and some piano playing for to be given to Miss Brown and Delk for the evening's entertainment, for Miss Lucy Shepherd has several high-class songs that she uses in the opening that compels her to take seven encounters, and closing the bill have a very strong act, in fact, the boy act is much better than it was when they worked in this house before, and at that time they were a very big drawing card, with this care they will have its own part of the season. The Gaither theater has a new team on the card, the team of Porter and Porter have been booked in here off of the southwestern circuit. They have new songs and they sing and dance well. This team should find plenty of work on this time for several weeks. Miss Lillian Brown wears over for this week, singing her own songs. She has a retracter and she is putting on one of her western acts in a purely western style. Miss Brown wears nice costumes for her act and she makes a nice appearance. She has a good voice for singing those Mexican numbers, and the manager of the house, Ms. Lewis and Lewis were also held over from last week, putting on a little sketch entitled "Why Wash Women Leave Home." It was very funny in spots, but it was very plainly seen they produce their best work. Whole the crowd is a good one and the house was crowded on the opening night. PLAYING GREAT BALL.

STAGE NOTES. Billy Kersands and wife opened in Dyersburg, Tenn., June 12. Baby Jim Show in Canton, Ohio, this week. Been having great success. Marsh Craig and Jon Pamplin are the two novelty acts with Kelly's Minstrels, and are meeting with big success through-out Canada. Happy Sidney Lockhart, singing and dancing comedian, of J. C. O'Brien's Famous Georgia Minstrels, is now with the "Kelly Colored Forty." Regards. The Ramsesys are at the Globe Theater, Richmond, Va., after having closed a three weeks' engagement at the American Theater, Petersburg. The act "Down in the Jungles" is making a hit. F. W. Willis, Styles, Bishop Brown, Chas. H. Lewis and Gora Matthews are among assisting. Alonzo Moore, the well-known magician who gave a performance at a church in Chicago, says that he was shown a trick that even he had not seen before—one where he was told that he was performing the preacher refused to pay him. Moore says, on the ground that he had no contract. He is still trying to find out how the trick was performed by the preacher. Moore is still waiting for him, which thinks the preacher a capital magician. THE DIXIE THEATRE OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA At the Dixie this week Little Sanders is getting encores nightly in his funny sketch of buck dancing. Drake and Johnson's new act was a scream from a boy in a band, a piano; A. Lee, trap drummer, and H. Drake, cornet, furnishes the sweet strains of music. Mr. Drake is well pleased with his new performers. The house is packed every night. We keep the house in the house we read The Freeman at the Dixie. PAT CHAPPELL WRITES FROM LONDON, ENG. Well, we sailed from New York City on May 31, and arrived in London June 6. Had a very fine sea voyage over. After arriving in the big city we had trouble finding a hotel. We visited every hotel and boarding house was filled up, on account of the coronation jubilee, and we had to rent a furnished flat, at 108 Channing Cross Road, which is located in the heart of the city. We met seven Américains, and a few of them were professional people. We will remain in London until after the coronation. We sailed then make a tour of the courtyard, visiting Paris, Berlin, Venice, Milan, Florence, Rome and Naples. We expect to sail for America about July 22, as we hope to be home about the first week in August, to prepare for the next trip to a Rabbit's Foot Company in September. Watch out for our big advertisement in The Freeman. FRANK HENDON INFORMS THE STAGE-STRUCK GIRLS.

This new theater will have colors of performers, running every night in the week. Sunday is the best night for business in Cuba and the W. I. Islands. The Olympia will always be open to any first-class acts, double or single, sister or sketch teams, singers and dancers of both sexes. The Olympia will be a professional people of good character and recommendation. Performers will find good treatment, a fine dress, and a medium tenure year, with an abundance of healthful water. Here are beaches, swell auto drives, fishing and boating of the best. Performers will be the first and only colored enter- prise of the kind ever undertaken upon the Isle of Pines, and the management has spared neither time, paints or money for the maintenance of their own conveniences, and to employ the best that money can procure to satisfy the wants of the whole Isle. The Olympic performer would find a long, profitable engagement at this new playhouse, if they are the right people, and can deliver the goods. The Olympia will run Spanish and Cuban artists in order to appease the whims of the native inhabitants, who are numerous. The chief seaport, which is Nueva Gerona, is only one night's steamer sail from Batabano and two hours' train ride from Granada. The light to Gerona across the Caribbean sea. J. M. BUSBY'S WORLD'S GREATEST MISTRELS. We are now in the State of Idaho; just came out of Utah. While showing in the stadium, the players of baseball teams in the State, known as the "Occidentals." The boys exchanged greetings and soon became profession friends. The band rendered several lively rags, while the "Occidentals put in on the Lehi team. Mr. Frank Black, the hustling manager on the ball team, engaged the band to go over the ropes. The band furnished and furnished music at the park, as the ball team played a double-header with the club known as the "Murrays." It is a very fast team. The colored boys won the ball team, being 9 to 5 and 7 to 5, in favor of them. After the games the band proceeded to the Dunbar Club. There the orchestra played, the band took place at the Railroad Men and Walters Club, Mr. E. R. Hatfield, president of the club, is certainly a good fellow, especially when a bunch of good friends meet him.

Harper, who was the company's latest production written and directed by entitled "Stranded in Africa." Great credit is given to the writer of this act by the manager and patrons of the Globe Theater. In this act Freeman finds many chances as comedian to set his audience into a loud laughter. The extremely ugly makeup of King Gazu, played by the comedian, is the material necessary. The company assists him as Zulus, while Wm. Burrell plays an excellent interpreter. Leonard Harper and Lucille Nelson lose no time in the comedy, and the company A. S. D. Taylor, Otis Hall, Oscar Hegamin, Lula Whidby, Essie Whidby, Annie Morgan. The crowds turn away nightly reminds one of the palmest days of the famous Williams and Walker Company, but this is a new company of young aspirants, brought together by the company to have fun and they have well prepared a list of shows that call for nothing but versatile artists and comedies, farces and dramas that will please the most critical audience. The company is made up of people, people, people, who can double on the stage. Roster of the company is as follows: A. S. Taylor, tenor and character man; Willie Hammond, tenor and straight; Otis Hall, tenor and comedian; Oscar Hegamin, pianist and female impersonator; Leonard Harper, straight and female impersonator; Essie Chorus, tenor and chorus; Lucille Nelson, soubrette; Anne Morgan, chorus; Mrs. Gussie Freeman, costumer and character lady. At present Mrs. Freeman is busy preparing costumes for the stock show. C. E. Huse, secretary and business manager. George Freeman, stage manager, producer and comedian. The company would like to hear from all managers who can book such a company. Get The Freeman aat the Globe Theater. FRANK CROWD, Manager. AS OTHERS SEE US. We have often called attention to what the foreigner might think of the race situation in America. More than likely in doing so it has been thought a habit, or a space filler, rather than a thoughtful reference based on known facts. The Negroes of Africa, as they take on learning and civilization also begin to study their Negro kinsmen wherever they are, and especially those of America, whose vicissitudes are always theme for study and speculation. The white race of Africa is also making the racial situation of America a study—a profound study, and reasonable enough since it means a better ability to cope with the similar conditions that evolving civilization will present to them. To further dispel the illusion that we are talking against time in these matters, we present a paragraph of a paper read by Sir Richard Solomon, high commissioner for the Union of South Africa, read before the Royal Society of Arts a short time ago: "The problem which overshadowed all others in South Africa in difficulty and far-reaching effects was the native question. No man living today could forecast its ultimate solution. A sound native policy must be slowly and naturally developed, and in that development the only course was to adhere to the good sound principles of justice, freedom, and toleration. The action of the Union Government in the release of Dinuzulu and the other native chiefs banished to St. Helena under sentence for rebellion by courts-martial, as well as the repeal of the Natal compulsory native labor law, were encouraging signs of the government's attitude towards this problem." The above is only one of the many examples that are occurring right along, and in proof of the fact of the profound solicitude for a satisfactory adjustment of the race question in Africa; meaning, of course, a most careful survey of the situation the world over in the interest of data, and THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER recorded experiences for information and guidance. To be more specific, to illustrate the proposition more closely that the foreigners are looking on, we quote in part an editorial comment noted in an African publication: "The Negroes in the United States are in the unhappy dilemma of being between two stools. On the one hand they are told that they can best find 'their places in American civilization by renouncing all aspiration for social equality with the whites, and steadily ensuing industrial efficiency.' On the other hand, they are confronted with the ominous fact of the white citizens of Baltimore seeking to pass a law ruling out the possibility of the contingency of the prosperous Negroes in their midst owning real estate. This does not look like the Negro will find a place in American civilization even does he seek after industrial efficiency, seeing that it is being sought to deprive him of the legitimate fruits of industrial efficiency. He may in short work and accumulate any amount of money but he cannot purchase a house or home for himself. Unfortunately, it only needs for a step to be initiated against the Negro in America to have the pace to be taken up all along the line. And the example of Baltimore in depriving the Negro of the right to own real estate is likely to be followed throughout. Political disfranchisement is to be followed by property disqualification, entailing for Negro citizenship neither political rights or property rights. One is constrained to ask what is going to be the end of all this? Human feeling and human instinct alike call for some show of sympathy and compassion for a people emancipated from a condition of servitude, in which condition their useful and faithful service had contributed in no small measure to augment the industrial activity of the country and enhance its national progress and status. It would appear, however, that the human element is eliminated altogether under the aegis of present-day civilization. The world needs to ponder over the outcome of a system of human life which abnegates the very essentials of human life, and relationship." Is it convincing enough? Just to think how we are seen in the eyes of Africans whom we have every reason to believe should think we were the very elect of the race notwithstanding some political, civil or social differences noted from time to time. They are mistaken, of course. Property rights are not threatened in this country, not even in Baltimore, where the whites have declared for segregation, meaning pure race societies—purely whites—purely Negroes—meaning further as little association as possible at all times. The principle of property ownership is not destroyed. To be more explicit, the Negroes may own property in populous white districts, but they may not live in said property. The same is true of the white people; they may own property in populous Negro districts, but may not live in it. This condition is true, only, as far as we know, in Baltimore and Richmond, Va. We will admit that a similar condition is likely to be in similar communities. This is a great wrong in principle, but a small one in reality. We hope what we present and say will have double effect—convincing Americans that we are not without witnesses—advising those abroad that are concerned, to see things in their true light. BIOGRAPHY OF AUTHOR OF "UNCLE TOM'S CABIN." Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, of Washington, D. C., has issued a circular letter calling attention to the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe. She says: "Every individual who has one drop of African blood in his veins should know something about the life of this great and good woman. For no author has done more with the pen to promote the cause of human liberty than did Mrs. Stowe." Mrs. Terrell has prepared an interesting life of the distinguished author of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." Speaking of it, she says: "At present there is no short sketch of Mrs. Stowe's life cheap enough for many to possess one who would like to inform themselves about this gifted and good woman's career. For this reason some of my friends have asked me to prepare a short sketch of Mrs. Stowe's life, and I have acted on their suggestion. This sketch has been printed on good paper, contains all the important facts in Mrs. Stowe's career, together with a tribute to her for the effective work she did in creating sentiment in behalf of the slave. The frontispiece is a fine portrait of Mrs. Stowe, taken from a photo presented to me by Mrs. Stowe's sister." Mrs. Terrell has spent considerable time in preparing this little work, and it should find its way to the libraries of those who are without information of this valuable woman. The volume coming from such a distinguished educator and scholar insures it worthy of a place in any library. LOOKING US OVER IN AFRICA The following from the Lagos weekly Record, of West Coast, Africa, will be more or less interesting because it shows how we are looked on by the Africans. In fact, it is always interesting to know what others think of us, no matter who they may be. The article, in part, is as follows: "The notion prevails that the Negro of America bears more or less a tinge of Caucasian blood. This no doubt is owing to his lighter complexion as compared with his brother in Africa; and while this may be in part due to his intermarrying with the mulatto, the latter are not numerous enough to account altogether for a change in color so widespread as to attract notice, and which must be attributed to the effects of the more temperate climate. If pigment is developed according to need, as a protective adaptation against the dangerous rays of sunlight, manifestly less danger means less need and less development for pigment owing to the strict rule of economy invariably adhered to by nature. And may not this rule of economy be responsible for the reduced power of the American Negro to withstand the effects of the African climate, his fecundity in America tending to lessen the physical vigor with which he was originally endowed." The courtesy is noted when the writer says, "and while this may be in part due to his intermarriage with the mulatto." We'd call that "whipping the devil around the stump." OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA.

Johnson's had huck is following him, this has reference to the automobiling phase of his present-day existence. Evi- lion they were looking for the champion over the island. Johnson thought it was so said. It was this way: Jack and a party of friends were spinning about the blocks taking in the balloon in the little London, when all at once there was a crash. Johnson had a pre- cision, one will think, that he was scald in for it. He struck an outfit of old Englishman, resulting in slight damages to his body, fairly a de- mition to Johnson's auto. What was enacted on the spot that very well became the hero of Reno, soon became noised about that the fa- tious black American in vulture was submerged in the water they came from every No menacing or grimacing, need you—just admiration for him that seed at the top of the pugilistic world. Jack was delighted, to put it as mildly as possible. He liked that part of it ex- it was Jacks's opportunity. He showed a streak of generosity. He not exhibited an attitude, not America. But in method in it, one may think; so he may be released from the punishment of favor-menting. English was English. just had to come across to the man whom he had jammed, in order to put a quietus on him. for the court loomed up before him just like Banquo. for the police he told them, those lugubrious London officials, who questioned witnesses in his ship so that the man would not be non-suited in event he filed against the champion. The witnesses admired the champion, but they said he was all to blame, just so he could do after all, the admiration man has been merely curiosity. Admiration. I take it, is prolonged curiosity; curiosity is short-lived. Do you get it? They wanted to do it. Do you human mendibility, to 'saw' him when speaking to their great-grand-chil- Well in order to put the wagon man in a good frame of mind, he gave him a handful of silver coins. The Englishman wished his way feeling reasonably blessed. But the spirit of generosity was on. Jack, noting the recipient attitude of his very interest in pocket, coming up with another handful of small coins, which he threw broadcast over the crowd, to show the heart of a man that he loved, and with everybody, he jumped into a taxiac and together with his friend, darted away as rapidly as the cabbie could go. He met the officers that he guessed that they had heard of him in America, and that they wanted to be in the fashion. What effect the speech had is not known, but the thought they were dressed in their duty. Well we on this side, have labored with Jack in season and out of season, being in the same vehicle when he would automobiling go. He seems perfectly safe on most propositions, but on speeding he's just like a wild coil—he apparently has no brakes to this apartment of his spiritual An ordinary man, one would think, would rather walk than be always being jailed about exceeding the speed limit. And more than that, Jack has got the job, and who just must go some, and at any cost. He is advised (that is Jack) not to get before those English justices. They are long on law in that country. They add on if possible and multiply, but never subtract or divide. The glory in hand-standing is that they go about it as a merchant sells goods—giving all specified in the bargain.

SPORTING NEWS The "Oxies" of Salt Lake City, Utah, are cleaning up as they go. Langford wants to be getting some decided decisions. His last twoights were draws. The feeling is that Sam had the best of the men both times; but draws don't look any too favorable in the records of a pugilist. The A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis will play the Louisville Cubs, July 3. PARIS—James J. Jeffries, ex-champion heavyweight, arrived in Paris a few days ago, the picture of health. When asked if he was going to play, he said he never really enjoyed himself away from Los Angeles. He is not going to the coronation, because he hates crowds, and not because of the fact that Jack Johnson, who defeated him at Reno, is in London. SAM LANGFORD GETS DRAW. Fails to Put Tony Caponi Out in Ten Rounds at Winnipeg. WINNIPEG. Manitoba—Sam Langford the Boston Negro fighter, and Tony Cawley the draw here last Friday night. In four of the ten rounds Langford played with Cawley, who had his opponent in bad shape and the police stopped the fight. The bout was finally allowed to go the full ten rounds, and the fighters were on their feet at the finish. OXIES WIN FIVE STRAIGHT Special to THE FREEMAN. Salt Lake City, Utah. The Occidental College team that they are the greatest fighting team in the West, always going, never done until the last man is out. Manager to the team is the spirit that it takes to be a manager. After taking the double-header from Salt Lake Sunday, June 4, annexing 27 games, the team is upon taking a whole series from Murray, the league champs, a hard-hitting and a clever base-running team, led by formerly, formerly the Northwestern team. Oxies ... 0 0 3 0 1 3 0 2-5 Murray ... 2 0 0 0 0 1 0 1-4 Batteries—White and Langley; Harrison, Prices and Kettler rison, Price and Fortier. Oxies Take Double-Header. Not content with Saturday's game to their credit, the Oxies took both games from the Champs by batting the ball and scoring in the eleventh fielding and brilliant fielding. Bost and Robinson played a brilliant game at short and second, respectively. Kyle Wheeler scored for Oxies and both pitched elegant ball winning by the scores of 9 to 5, holding Murray to eight hits, hits by Oxies and sighted twelve hits, Ad Laugford getting a home run. In the second Kyle, the young smoke artist, was on the mound for two in- nings, when he was relieved by Ad Lang- ford, who held them in his hands. The Oxies gathered twelve hits in this game. Langford led with three in four times up, with Tullie McAdoo second, with two in four times up. McAdoo is leading the team in hitting with .439 percent. The Oxies have six men on the 300 in the fair final combination. The scare: Murray . . . 0 0 0 0 2 3 0 —5 Oxies . . . 4 0 0 0 3 2 1½. Battery—Kyle, White and Langley.

Busby's Big Minstrels Guests of the Prof. Willie Timons and his elegant band, en route with Busby's Big Minstrels, were guests of the Occidental Baseball Club Sunset. At the various concert selections before the game, also injecting short bits between each inning. Every one was in the best of spirits and all complicated Prof. Timons on all of the attention of all the gentlemen through musicians. As Salt Lake is a musical city, to make a hit in Zion means much. The papers say: "With ragtime strains, dawning and sun beaming down, don't forget the band or Busby's Band: Willie Timons, band leader; Benjamin Penn cornet; Johnnie Alford (champagne) Thos. Thompson, A. T. Merrill, Bruder, Irene, Hullet, trombones; J. C. Scott, baryton; Floyd Trombones; J. C. Wilson and Jacob Ward, drums; and jolly Simon Jones of the performers. At night they were entertained at the morn. Presided over by Mr. Essie Starks, proprietor. Then a serenade followed to the Railroad Men's Club owned by the "Hatfield Bros., where plenty of good things are served." The serenade ended at the Colorado Social Club where Phil Chadwell and Harry Peyton are found. Here the party remained until the wee hours of the morn, until Phil Bord brought on the charm stunt. The boys departed for Ogden Monday morning a little tired, but each has a warm spot in his heart for Salt Lake and the Occidentals. HARRY J. EARLE. Publicity for the Oxies. PENSACOLA, FLA.

Kansas City, Mo Kansas City The newly organized Kansas City Invincibles won their first game played with the Brinkley Giants by a score of 8 to 7. The game was played at Shelley Park June 6 and he was the best player of the season witnessed the game, which was closely contested throughout. "Peanuts" Taylor, shortstop, and Eli Solomon, pitcher, of the Invincibles, will be remembered as old St. Louis stars and all-around good playing will win all-around good playing will win games for their team this season. The Brinkley Giants have been playing good all season and this was the first defeat. "Bone" Allain is playing left field for the Invincibles, and he will surely not be overlooked by the strong eastern organizations next year. The Invincibles write games with the Brinkley Giants writing Taylor, 408 East Sixth street, Kansas City, Mo. IMPEACH HARDWICK [There have been developments since this was written.] Successful impeachments as the rule are the unknown in history. This has reference to the great ones, those whose names are high, also their association. A fellowship exists among these, the ties of which are very often as strong as if the thing were done with aforethought. Lord Nelson expressed it on the eve of the battle in the Bay of Trafalgar, when he said England expected of every man his duty. To pass the word around was unnecessary. In the sense of oneness, unity of purpose the high impeached generally has extended him immunity which in a manner frees from physical punishment by way of imprisonment or even dismissal from office—anything that defeats the purpose of the indictments. Our own senate has the thing in mind when it throws the mantle of charity about an alleged offending brother, who as it were, after having reached the sacred hearth and thus free from further pursuing. It has been a long day, if any, since that body turned down any of its own; or any over whom it controlled as a court of impeachment. Says the constitution: "The Senate shall have the sole power to try all impeachments." It is very lucky for the possible offenders that their chances lie within the scope of the jurisdiction of that somewhat patrician body. The house has been known to give members the cold shift, reading them right out of the more democratic brotherhood with an untroubled conscience. At the impeachment of President Johnson, which was ordered in those perilous times immediately subsequent to the civil war, the senate made a bold bluff at political righteousness and nearly succeeded in putting one over on the Tennessee tailor. Thirty-five found him "guilty," nineteen said "not guilty." The thirty-five was less than two-thirds of the total vote. He was saved by one—but it was a plenty. One will think of the fine Italian hand that could so manipulate things as to save Mr. Lincoln's successor by so thin a margin. What a remarkable escape! The country was satisfied—the pros and cons. Mr. Johnson had been censured, the very first of the line. And for the good of the country at the time it was for the best the business turned out as it did. The principle still maintained that the patrician class does not deliver up to the howling canaille very often. The lords of England were no better in Warren Hasting's day. That distinguished official was accused of violating every law—man made or moral—in dealing with the fifty millions of the Astatics over which he ruled in far-off India. His house, his ancestral pile, was all down and out, he resolved to recoup it at any cost. He was a man of destiny—somewhat like our Grover Cleveland; he kept on coming up, but having in mind a far different purpose. He was not unlike the Hon. Thos. W. Hardwick, of Georgia, as to bent of purpose. Either mapped out their program to power for specific ends, and those other than were in strict consistence with their jobs. Hastings hungered for the restoration of the material belongings and the glory of his illustrious family. Hardwick seemingly has made covenant with the devil to impede the progress of the American Negro. He is also serving a constituency which is more or less attained with the Hardwick virus, and accordingly that unfailing rule of things equaling to the same things equal each other. True the constituency is thus and a pity 'tis true. The case of Warren Hastings is the most celebrated in history. The Indiana jurist and newspapers not long since made a spurt at driving courts up to their sense of duty, owing to delayed justice of the past and defeated justice, owing to the law's delay. The other day we read of the Rockefeller Oil Company case where justice has been beating about for about five years. But the case of Hastings, who had gluttonized on Asialic provender dragged through eight weary years. The scenario and its personnel had changed—new judges adorned the wool sacks; new faces illumined the scene. The case lost its bouquet, its eclat through the procrastination, and of course the intent of those lond headed peers who were opposed to one of the higher order falling outside of the breastworks. The counts against him had already been reduced from twenty to two. In decency these could not be "swioped," since the people had to have some show of proprietary right in the government. By a vote of twenty to six (others refused to vote), the lords sent Hastings out into the world a badly used up man financially. but his escutcheon was "clean." He couldn't come back. He was pensioned for his former high services after hanging on the ragged edge for quite a spell. We see no reason why impeachment proceedings should not be instituted against the Hon. Thomas W. Hardwick, of Georgia. Before what bar? Let us use. Before the bar of the enlightened conscience of the American people, if nowhere else. In the language of the celebrated Emile Zola, of Dreyfus memory, we impeach/ We impeach him for violating the doctrine of the Declaration of Independence where it says that "All men are created equal." We impeach him for opposing the basic principles of the country, the constitution in general, the fourteenth amendment to it in particular. We impeach him in the name of Abraham Lincoln, John Brown and his Harper's Ferry. We impeach him in the name of the host of sainted abolitionists, known and unknown, "the praying Israel of America" unto a mighty deliverance. We impeach him in the name of those thousands of either army that spent their lives as free as the waters flow that the day's fulfillment might be. We impeach him in the name of ten millions of human beings who had no say in their being, and who are taught the one law as to God, religion and country, whom he now seeks to make political nudes—the possible prey of every political bucearing wind that blows. Finally, we impeach him i the name of God, who has not seen fit to communicate to the children of men that He had any share in the thing of discrimination between races based on color or any condition whatsoever. If the Honorable Thomas avoids all of those counts, he will have to do some tall wiggling. LEWIS. GET IN THE CORN RAISING CON TEST. To the Editor of Indianapolis Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Dear Sir--May I say, through the columns of your paper, that not nearly so many colored Kentucky farmers have envisioned the corn raising contest as I had hoped in the past. The corn will be distributed in prizes. The expense accompanying the contest will be very little, probably no more than a sauvage cent. The crop will be raised. The measurement of the crop can be easily arranged. The court records of the assessor's books will show the ownership of the land. The good number of farmers are planning to enter the contest who have not yet reported such purpose. They should send their names to me at once. The farmers will be ground measured immediately. They can wait until the corn is in the shock and then select the best acre, have it measured before responsible persons, the choice of the farmer. You can meet before the corn is ready for harvest. Every farmer who tries for a prize will get his reward in a larger crop, and four farmers will receive a substantial reward. The result of the contest will be published, and a very large number of people, of which 10,000 are willing to let me repeat the prize offer. Four cash prizes will be given by Lincoln Institute to colored Kentucky farmers for the sale of corn on land owned by themselves. These prizes are $50.00, $25.00, $15.00 and $10.00. To each of these prizes the State Agricultural Commissioner, M. C. Rankin, adds an equal amount, thus making a very substantial offer. A. EUGENE THOMSON, Berea, Ky.
