NEGRO OFFICERS IN ARMY THE LAW ON THE SUBJECT SET FORTH IN DETAIL Special to THE FREEMAN. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 29—The open letter of Rev. J. Walt尔德, pastor of the Shiloh Baptist church of the National Independent Political League, to President Taft, alleging discrimination against Negro soldiers in the army, has been used in investigations to ascertain the truth or falsity of Dr. Waldron's charges. Assuming that Dr. Waldron's anxiety in the premises is in good faith and not influencing the officials of the army establishment and fair play toward the President himself, as commander-in-chief, impels the officials of the army out the facts before forming an opinion on the questions involved in the controversy at hand. Without attempting to voluntarily assert with some plausibility that there have been and may be new specific cases of discrimination thersin, but Dr. Waldron, in effect, commands the President to give colored soldiers, as well as soldiers of Jewish or Hebrew extraction, the same privileges and opportunities for promotion offered to him. Dr. Waldron assumes that President Taft can order any soldier whom he may desire, up to take examination for promotion. "The examination of enlisted men for promotion to the position of second lieutenant in the regular army, which you may order, does not since the public press of June 9, does not contain the name of a single colored soldier, nor have we seen the name of any such soldier in any list for examination which ordered us to since the cunenty of the office of chief executive of the nation." Continuing, Dr. Waldron says, "It must be your failure to serve men before the examination board of the army is an oversight." were appointed and are now commissioned officers. The failure of colored enlisted men to be "ordered" to take the examination for promotion is their own, because they have failed to apply, and not the result of disobedience, to oversee on the part of the President. The attention of the fair-minded public is called to the fact that all of this information was given to Dr. Dron before he wrote his letter to the President, had he taken the time to be advised. It is not well to go off "half-cooked" in political or military matters. ADDYSTON, OHIO. Special to THE FREEMAN CENTRALIA, ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN. CLEVES, OHIO. Special to THE FREEMAN.

"By Pension For the Slave." By William H. Clarke, Dean Agricultural and Mechanical College, Normal, Alabama. A pension for the southern slave! Loud sound the thrilling cry. For many a day he longest to have That night he high. Long, long beneath the burning sun The sturdy captive led The gallant charge with spade and won A nation's daily bread. It was his trusted, ebon arm, Strong as the tempered steel, The unquiet and southern farm And made a captive life. His hands that made the hills in fine Blossom, like Sharon's rose, From Dixon's celebrated line. Twhere Rio Grande flows. His courage rose when mountains high Lifted, with proud disdain, The No toil came hard; no task, though great Was left with careless hand; And the soldier in his glided state No better served the land. Cheer then the man, a soldier born, And the army grew. That hood the cotton and the corn Upon the southern farm. O. let the coming ages know How right succeeds the wrong, How the ancient serf in cabin poor Is strengthened by the strong; And when the two, soldier and slave, Shall sleep beneath the sod One common love shall guard their grave ITEMS OF RACE INTEREST.

Roads of Indiana, operating between Cincinnati and Chicago, that "Jim Crow" cars are now attached to trains, explanation is made that recently some trains have been attached through the southern states, where segregation of races is required, have been attached to C. & O. Indiana trains. These cars display platform signs reading either "people only" or "for colored people only." A recent excursion train had one of the latter cars and it is stated many of the Negro passengers made protests. Both types of cars will be returned to Dixie has not been announced by the railroad officials. I believe in the essential improvability of the black race, and that when the story is properly told and appreciated the spectacle of this enslaved people brought to light, it is against their will, and still possessed of vitality enough to rise along side of and largely in cooperation with their old masters into intelligent citizenship, is such as to compel them to act against the deviant of the human race. The colored man is moving forward, climbing upward, becoming more and more a democratic citizen of a republic, making himself a citizen of the land, the imminent land which enslaved him. There is a spectacle so inspiring, so stupendous, that only one gifted with the emotions of a poet and the conscience of a prophet can satisfactorily or adequately tell the story.

Queen Victoria, when she received at Windsor the bishops and delegates to the great convention of the Episcopal Church, wrote to the bishop, asking for death, accorded just the same amount of distinguished consideration to the half a dozen bishops who belonged to the Negro race as to their white English and American blood, accorded just the same amount of she heard of the arrival in London of an old colored mummy from the Free State of Liberia, who had saved up the money, selling a shilling, for the purpose of going to the school to see her majesty, so not only asked her to visit at Windsor Castle, but even invited her to take a seat on the sofa beside her during the interment, so that she could keep even the greatest statesmen and the greatest ladies in the land standing in her presence, and a foreign ambassador who happened to be at Windsor Castle at the time of her death, marked plaintively that during all the years that he had represented his government at the Court of St. James, he had received anything like so much consideration.

A very commendable step along the line of social improvement has been taken by the formation of the Minneapolis tennis club, Mr. R. A. Van Kook, of 2000 Eleventh avenue, was struck with the idea of arousing interest in theawn emens among the players in the队 and met with instant favor. On Tuesday evening, May 23, Mr. Van Hook called together several of our young men at the tennis club, procuring nets, raquets, balls, etc. On the following day the club was formed and officers named as members. W. A. H. Pope; vice president, D. Brady; treasurer, R. A. Van Hook. The following members were enrolled: Joe Pearl-Walton Houston Harvey, Will Lomack, Donald Brady, R. A. Van Hook, Sylvester Carter, Harry Hale and Veasus Pope. Time to time by the young men increased from time to time by the increase of Minneapolis. This is certainly the best move that has been made for some time for the benefit of our young people socially, to make it a success. An unusual feature is a reflector, by means of which we can play at night. We are giving a tournament every July at the Club grounds, Twenty-ninth street and Eleventh avenue. WILBERFORCE GRADUATES RECEIVE THEIR DIPLOMAS. Forty-Eighth Commencement at Wilberforce University Most Interesting in Years—Many Improvements Noted. The commencement held at Wilberforce University. Thursday, June 15th was one of the grandest in the history of this famous institution. In point of interest it has never been excelled. The interest it has generated comes from far and near to hear Booker T. Washington, the distinguished industrial educator. The celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Dudley Alexander, the founder of the institution, also added much interest to the occasion. Within the last few years, under the new management, Wiberforce has been looking up. On every hand evidences of improvement attend the annual university. Quick to notice the improvements and express their surprise and pleasure. President W. S. Scarborough is the right man to handle the general improvements. Besides the general improvements, he brought together several thousand dollars, now in bank, to meet Mr. Carmegle's promise of $17,500 to the $25,000 dormitory. Besides the larger appropriations of the C. N. and I. department and Superintendent Joiner are pleasing the state of Ohio in results and they have given the bigger appropriations than ever before, nearly $140,000 for this year and next. The exercises began Thursday about 10:30 o'clock with a chorus from the Umland School, a direction of Geo. W. Simpson, Bishop Nashville. Tenn. offered prayer. There were seventy-two graduates for diplomas and certificates from the various departments as follows: Classical, 4; scientific, 1; musical, 1; commercial, 11; sewing, 9; vocal music, 13; millinery, 1. Besides a diploma quite a number of the young students received the course completing the industrial courses. There were also all of their subjects were lofty, full of inspiration and sound material. The diplomas and certificates were presented by President Scarborough, assisted by Professor Joel Jolner. The diplomas to the normal graduates were presented by Dr. Booker T. Washington, who, in speaking, emphasized the importance of applying what had been earned to every-day life. Applil-ized is the thing. The people of Denmark are the most scientific in the world and are the most scientific because they apply to every day life what they learned in schools and colleges. The honorary degree of LL. D. was conferred upon M. P. M. P. Wheatland of Newport, D. C. V. C. Norwalk, Penn. Tenn.; Prof. E. B. O. superintendent of schools, Xenia, O.; Bishop C. Master of, Chicago, and Mr. Frank R.

SATURDAY, JULY 1, 1911. If the present program carries, President Taft will make an address to the country in this city on July 4. Mayor Shank just conculded to make an off-hand speech to the men milliners when they were in town this week. Some of the big folks of London turned Bohemia for a brief space of time—a fitting finale of the coronation de festival. O, this sublime weather—at this writing, Thursday morning, June 29—the skies of Italian blue, salt sea breeze that finally got to us from the sea, etc. Little Rock, Ark., is making a noise like a great preparation for the National Negro Business League, which meets in that city next month. Because a man can make laws that are good enough to govern another man's family is no reason why the other man should surrender his job to the aforesaid man—Vide Constitution. Now if the small boy and the great big boy can be convinced that the city has a prohibiting ordinance, limiting the kinds and size of fireworks to be used on the Fourth, some legs, arms and eyes will be saved. The city has a law regulating the sale of fireworks, which will insure practically a safe, sane Fourth of July if obeyed. The law, it is safe to say, will be generally regarded. Yet, unless there is vigilance on the part of the police something will happen that will have a fatal ending. The two great events of the year occur in the same month. The National Negro Business League meets in Little Rock, Ark., August 16, 17 and 18. The Knights of Pythias Conclave will be held in Indianapolis on August 21st to 26th. But in the language of one Dr. Cook, of North Pole memory: Gentlemen, there will be enough glory for you all. Remember that the colored Knights of Pythias of the World will be in Indianapolis in August, by representation or otherwise. The eighteenth annual conclave promises to eclipse all that has ever happened. It promises to be a pace setter. Bear in mind, brother Knights of N. A., S. A., and the rest of it, including the island of the seas, that when you start for Indianapolis, Ind., U. S. A., you are going somewhere. Without mental reservation or any other kind we have the most beautiful city in the world. Come on, you "Queens of Shebas" and be convinced. Some of the white citizens in the vicinity of Eleventh and Tremont streets are at loggerheads over the decision of the Board of School Commissioners to build a school building for colored children in that locality. Depreciation of property was urged as the cause for the objection. Those opposed to the building were also opposed to one another. Rival delegations had their respective views on the matter, and which were in the main, to put the school nearest the others. This looks like a case of "I guess you white folks will have to fight that out between yourselves." The matter promises to be amicably adjusted. The school may not be situated where it was first proposed, but from all accounts it will be in reason. Geo. L. Knox will be one of the speakers at the Quadruple and Educational convention to be held in St. Louis August 11. His subject will be: "What May Our Ministers Do to Save Our Youth From The Temptation to Crime, Vagrantry and Alcoholism?" The well-known Rev. Dr. W. E. Bowen is in charge of the program. The society utters a declaration as follows: A forward movement: In Bible study; in family religion; in training of the youth; in endowment of schools; in strengthening our missions; in education and better support of our ministry; in increasing the circulation of and a wider reading of our church paper. The motto is "Saved to Serve." The colored Y. M. C. A. of this city will profit by the offer of the Jewish philanthropist, Rosenwald, of Chicago, to the extent of $25,000, which sum is a standing offer to all colored Y. M. C. A. bodies that will raise $75,000. The white organization of this city has concluded to assist the colored association in raising the required $75,000, this insuring a $100,000 building. It is but justice to say that the Y. M. C. A. of this city had already agreed to help largely in the matter of an adequate building and suitable equipment for the colored Y. M. C. A. The Rosenwald offer, coming later, doubly insures the success of a campaign in the interest of a greater Y. M. C. A. for the colored people. July 4th is a great day; it stirs deep, bringing up memories that are dear to the country especially when we think of what we might be today had it not been for Patrick Henry, John Hancock, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, George Washington and the rest of them. But at that it shouldn't be felt necessary to make the day one of human sacrifice. We think of the dead on the 5th of July as being scattered—here and there—hence can not think of the calamity as a whole. But were the victims of some Fourth collected in one heap, or spread out in one vast morgue and the whole country compelled to review the remains, on some Fifth there would be a rapid change of sentiment as to the manner of celebrating the day. COLORED REGIMENT FOR NEW YORK. New York will get a colored regiment just as Illinois has if the present program carries. The legislature has passed a bill enabling colored men to take steps in the matter of organization. They are in earnest in the matter and Illinois is likely to have a formidable rival for the plaudits of the country. The Eighth Illinois is the only regiment of the kind, consequently it has become somewhat of a pet to the entire colored race. And the boys of the Eighth are not soldiers on paper merely. Wherever they have been they have won favorable mention from the military experts for precision in their drills, evolutions, marches or what-not, that fall to the soldier's lot. Doubtless the New Yorkers have smarted quite a time in that the state of Illinois boasted of this superior organization which could not be "duplicated in the great state of New York. To hail from New York does carry a sort of spell-casting influence; it sounds big; and no one knows it better than the New Yorkers. The colored New Yorkers are not one whit behind their white brethren in the matter of "pomposity." So it was quite the natural thing to chafe when the praises which mean Chicago were sang so often, so persistently, so loud; little old New York City got busy; and after months of working with the legislature, those interested finally won. A regiment of Negro New Yorkers promises to be a thing of the near future. A LITTLE RAMBLE. Now 'tis July, the time when watermelons are in their proper season. O, yes, we get them way up in June in these aggressive days, but somehow they don't taste seasonable, in spite of the red, luscious, tempting appearance until old Sol turns his face towards Capricorn. Before this eventful period watermelons or whatever melons and the fruit generally seem too busy taking on life and vigor to think of the mellowing influences of the days to be—the incipiency of decay when all things seem to be at their best. They may not be at their best in the sense of strength and zest, since youth is the period of growth. But ere long the period of calm sets in with its sweetness and serenity, and on declining to the age of acerbity with its vinegararish quality. The parallelism will be noted between the human existence and that of the fruits. They have their seasons, even unto the vinegar age, which we dread so much. So, when one says that he or she is growing old gracefully, it is complimentary. Such individuals belong to the pumpkin order, which improves under trials. A bit of frost acts as an elixir to a pumpkin, making it milder, better for the experience. That fruit, if it may be so called, sweetens with age, gaining in the better qualities until the "sere and yellow leaf of its existence. If the human family were all like pumpkins, what a world this would be! Of course, some withstand the rule—are out of their seasons—and thus we find those beautiful in old age, rather than testy and crabbed. The aged beautifuls are rather rare. They are ornaments, jewels when found. Testy, crabbed children are none too well loved, because they are out of their season. TAFT SAID TO BE COMING UP. President Taft, in his fight for Canadian reciprocity, has shown some of the Roosevelt grit and, as a consequence, is thought to be coming up. The Roosevelt grit has not been considered by many as an admirable quality, but let that be as it may, the fact is that it gave Mr. Roosevelt his "go"-his influence, his political longevity. The people liked to see it exhibited. In more ways than one the President has showed nerve, more than he was suspected of having when he entered on his duties. It is thought that he and the supreme court were one as to the recent disposition of the "trust" cases that came before that court. That is to say, that Mr. Taft was not displeased with the decisions of that court, which in the reduction means that it was an administration policy to make a showing against what Mr. Roosevelt chose to call bad trusts. Observing politicians think Mr. Taft's prospects are growing brighter owing to the striking features mentioned of his administration, and which, by the way, is an admission that things have not always looked good from a Republican viewpoint, And there is reason for the implied admission. The Democrats with their Governor Wilson are something to thing about, not to speak of Indiana and its Governor Marshall; its Senator Kern, and the Governor of Ohio, all of whom are giving good account of themselves. The somewhat improved prospects of Mr. Taft's re-election is owing to his own efforts. The party has been somewhat of a millstone about his neck, but he has managed to buoy up. and in doing so has added to the prospects of general party success. It has been said that the president is stronger and that the party is weaker. The assertion makes for an anomalous condition which is hardly possible. Yet states have been known to cast their majority votes for a president of a party, while the same or equivalent majority has been cast for another party. Such condition, however, is rare. So when it is said that Mr. Taft is stronger, it must mean his party is stronger since he stands for his party. His policies are supported by his party and without which party the President would have no chance for success. But as strong as he may be reckoned, it seems the opinion that he must keep on growing if he expects to pull up in the clear in 1912. highly by some of our leading men...

Association Auditorium was not very full on last Monday evening, June 26, when the Choral Study Club gave Prologue to the choir of the Taylor's "Bon Bon Suite." The hearty storm which arose at half past seven had pictured a golden painting in the western horizon far too late to warn the chorus that terror was a that playing for one's self is the tame feature of a concert room. "Castilla," written for male voices, was a heavy poem for the weakest end of the choir, and they held their voices, which were weak on this occasion, fell short by the taxation which Protheroe had exacted from and imposed upon them. "Mr. S. Blair presided at the piano, together with an orchestra, consisting of three white musicians. Miss Sincilla White and Musters Clarence Lee and Wyatt Houston gave good accounts as one of the features of the evening. The chariot upon which our hopes were center was S. Coleridge Taylor's latest vehicle, 'Bon Bon Suite.' Neither of our two orchestras or the orchestras, but figure music in the same class merely as poems to music. There are six lyrics written by the Irish poet, Robert Taylor, and the music of Ridge Taylor. The "Magic Mirror" was musically what it should be, and for the most part was up to the Taylor standard. "O Lovely Night," regardless of the fact that the song was not meant to mention. It was even announced that Gerald Tyler, the baritone soloist, of Kansas City, Mo., was suffering with a frsh cold, so much so that he only sang one number in the song. The song has been expected as our museo's worth. Mr. Tyler played his own accompaniment, standing up, and sang Ronald's song, Mr. Tyler appeared in the solo parts of the number, and the chorus, although unimaginable, was as splendor, due to the fact that Madam Martha Broadus Anderson led the chorus, in which the female portion was exceptionally grand while the Prol Musica speaks fully, and the Prol Poetry tells Tusley, who had conquered with superior skill. "The Fairyboat" was another chorus which indicated the true merit of the gerat colored English composer, for in Taylor's well-known treatment of *A. good* THE A BILLY & ROYAL EN The Arutes (Billy and Grace) appearing at the Crown Garden this week has added another wreath in the laurels of the Crown Garden management. The Arutes are a team of original funmakers who do not depend upon the other fellow for thoughts and ideas. From a standpoint of costumes they are a reaping departure from some of the colored performers playing small time houses. The team gets off well with a rollicking introductory song, "Home, Sweet Home," and from the team, they impress the audience the winners, more eager or causing the house to grow cold on them. The first song is followed by a line of rapid fire talk up to the minute and full of quaint humorism. "Texas Toy," a new song composed by E. E. Dudley, is put overin a most convincing manner by Miss Arute, which is followed by "Suwanee River," sung THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER song lyric was revealed in the solo rendered by Mr. Tyler. dered by Mr. Tyler. "Love and Hymen" was a most tune- ful female voices, and if a trifle lighter than the others, fully scored on its perfection. "The Watchman" was Tyler's best chance which he fully erase to. The final chorus, "Say, What Shall We Dance?" was difficult to master, and once more brought to the Study Club honors that he had been proud and for which they have much cause for encouragement in the future. Gerald Tyler as a vocalist is a finished performer, his voice is this cold, his voice, which is brilliantly charming in quality of sweetness, is plumply melodious. But his organ, especially, beats great singer's voice in his class and his lower notes are thin and inadequate for cantata or concert numbers in these great works. It seems hardly necessary to carry these performances down in town, where they are out of the way for everybody. The choir should have been given at Quintm Chapel. The Phoenix Fares Well With New Pictures Manager Hammond has succeeded in convincing the patrons of this house that he knows what they want in picture assortments and illustrated songs. The load that he brought "62" and "Manicure Lady" were interesting pictures, and the new illustrated songs were good. This house is catering to refined shoppers of the patronage of ladies and children. Johnson and Rector at the Pekin.. The audiences at the Pekin were unusually enthusiastic when Johnson and Rector made their first appearance at this house and handed over some good business and sayings, and both performers have been singing well in addition to their dancing. The Great Mondaayne is a very clever balancer and won rounds of applause. Oliver Wise made her reappearance at this house in an entirely new budget of songs, and her popularity continues unabated. Dick Lancaster, in a dramatic recitation of a act which won favor, did the Three Poundless bats, who have an act full of comical situations. Oliver Perry's orchestra was in good food and gave Mise. Wise especial good service in her songs. Acting Manager Sam Cooker, r., who now has full charge of the house during Mr. Mott's continued illness, is steadily growing more popular in demonstrating its knack for acting. An Airship and a Good Bill at the Grand. The Clarks and McKissick and Shadney were the great comedy sketch program of the 1960s, McKissick and Shadney have too strong an act to open the bill, they shared honors with the best acts on the program. McKissick as 'have often stated, is a great comedy, and any race in America, but a constant fun producer and an actor. Miss Shadney is an excellent soprano and Mexican of their best acts, and Mr. Clark's well-known Hebrew and Italian specialties met with a big reception. Restus Hudson did a lively turn and made good. Dorothy Lamb and company, a white sketch, in 'Night with the Red Men,' was decided to play the other white act was a novelty in a way, Miss Aubria Rich, a clever soubrette, goes up in an airship. The ship has red sails, and the arouses enough commotion to set all seekers for curiosity at rest regarding its safety. Lizzie Hart Sings "If I Forget" at the Monogram—Makes a Distinct Hit. The usual rush took place at the little Monogram, Monday evening, when Madam Johnson mentions to a second week, singing "If I Forget," and the audience truly acknowledged the beauty of the song by a robe of incomparable history, and the heavy comedians, and Joe Simms again brought forth convulsions of laughter when he appeared in female robes of incomparable history, and the heavy comedians. The Miss Johnson may be in their second week. Butler May is of an ancient type of oddities inconceivable, but apt to cause a scream of laughter moment to cause a scream of laughter. But he is a comedian by recognition of his growing importance as an eccentric dancer, and his wife, believe me, has Johnson and Roper did a good sister singing and dancing act and wore fine dresses. Miss Roper is hardly spirited and his wife, believe me, has Johnson and Roper did a good sister singing and dancing act and wore fine dresses. Miss Roper is hardly spirited and his wife, believe me, has Johnson, or Mrs Johnson will have sober down to Miss Roper. W. H. Smith manager of the Magnolia Theater, on Central avenue, announces his opening for about July 10. ANTES GRACE ENTERTAINERS by Mr. Arnte in the character of an aged darkeyed whose portrayal of the southern darkeyed of the old school is faithful to the minute detail. Miss Arnte comes back in this song in the role of a slob country kid and the two voices are blended in sweet harmony, bringing out the full expression of the plaintive old ballad. The act was a good fifteen minutes in "one" and gets away amid a burst of applause. The stick dance as done by the Arntes is a revelation in the line of a dancing discussion and carrying off the honors as the greatest female stick dancer in the business. It was this dance that gained the Arntes much favor during their recent tour of Europe, where it was presented before the king of England, at that time Edward VII. The Arntes are booked solidly for some time over the circuits representing the small time houses. Northwestern Pavillion J. D. HOWARD & ELWOOD C.

THE CINCINNATI THEATERS—THE PEKIN AND THE GAITHER. Brooks and Brown, Laura Smith, Lou LaMar, known as the "Laughing" LaMar, and Vance Lowery, the manager of the bill offered at the Pekin Theater this week. Brown and Delk were held over, putting on a new act, with costumes and new songs. The team is getting along equally as well last week. Lou LaMar is a new performer here, and his work was highly appreciated. His style is new to the patrons of Fifth avenue. Vance Lowery has been seen here before he has a good musical act, especially his handiwork. As a bansiologist he is hard to beat. The big noise in the bill is little Miss Laura Smith, the "Southern Rose." As a guildmaster, the manager booked the little lady from the Southern Circuit, and she has proved to be just what the patrons of house were looking for. She is very clever. The bill is a very strong one. The Galther continues with vaudeville, and in getting together as very good program. Kelly and Kelly, a new team on the street, have a nice act, especially their singing and dancing. This is a nice applause, but the rest pretty costumes and are hard workers. The Marshall Sisters, of this city, who have not appeared in this city for several months, have a very neat act that was used with numerous applauses. They will soon report to Gopheral with the Smart Set Company No. 2. Porter and Porter were held over last week, with a much stronger act. This team grows in popular favor at each performance. Mrs. Porter's singing of "What's What, and Who's Who" is the feature. This playhouse also has a strong bill. The Carolina Comedy Four have closed their bookings, and have parted company. Their work with a company ceased last week at the Pekin. Miss Rosa Brown has been under the care of Dr. Frank Johnson ever since her first performance. The audiences were never aware that when they met her to take several encores at each performance that she was not able to sit up when she went to the dressing room. Joe Robertson, better known as "Lovey" or "Sporting man of York," has been in the city for three days meeting old friends. He has been in the South by putting the aged parents, whom he has met in the city, MINEOLA, TEXAS. Hon. R. W. Stafford died here last week. He had been ill for some time....

Cyclo and Cyclop are making it with their novelty acts at Lagman's Theatre, Mobile, Ala. The little team of Little Irma and Albert White is in its fourth week at the Orkney theatre, Philadelphia, Pa., where they made good. Little Irma is carrying all before her. Little Miss Rose Caldwell made a hit at the Pastime Theatre, Muskogee, singing feature songs in connection with Miss Webster. She is a clean clever worker, and worth going to see. Among the successful ones now at Lagman's Theater, Mobile, Ala., are Alberta Smiley, the little southern soubrette; William Adams and Shacklefoot Jim Bledeee, Nitta Williams and Footster Williams and Billy Zeek.

Mr. Al Mastiff, formerly with the Hagenbeck-Wallace Show, is manager of Forepaugh-Sells Bros.' Side Show for the season of 1911. Mr. and Mrs. Lowery, of Ling's private car, made a short trip from Long Branch to New York and return. THE BELMONT THEATER, PENSACOLA, FLA The Bemont Theatre is going big with all good performers. Poor Boy, who seems to be making this his home now, is putting on shows that are pleasing. Virgile Lafontaine and his band are with their double singing. Both little ladies have pleasing voices. Mable G. Johnston is there in her male turn, singing "That's Why They Call Me Shine." She has lovely costumes. Elizabeth Lance, who plays the role of "Southern Gal Cozy Rag" with success, Arthur Wayman is great, also singing late songs. The Lliston team closed here after four weeks. They left on June 10th for the Globe at Jacksonville. Bonnie McKenna, the Bemont Theater, Penacola, Fla., doing nice. She opened at Lagman, Mobile, Ala., the 26th.

Mr. Harris is a cornet wizard and a phenominal violinist, and adds great strength to Anderson's band and orchestra. Mr. R. Harris is a bandgongation, assisted by Mr. Ed. Baskin, and they are making great preparations to carry things on in great style. Miss Anderson still hitting them hard at each performance, with her songs and dances. The team of Osts and Osts, are far superior to all of the young teams, so says Anderson. The band numbers fourteen and orchestra nine. We are to be in North Carolina for three weeks longer, and then to Virginia and West Virginia we go a-flying. CHATTANOOGA, TENN. Notes from the Grand Theater Notes from the Grand Theater Woek 6 June, 1994 was one round of success from beginning to end, the attraction being a two-aact comedy by Williams and Jajah entitled "Snowball Jackson in Africa," which Williams taking the lead, Jackson, Princess Rajah takes the role of Princess of the Congo tribe, which is a most becoming role as her personality, all in all, is that of a real princess, being tall, slim, and beautiful, which she opened with Miss Rae Nicholas, the swowed violin singer, who made a decided hit with high-class songs, such as are seldom heard in the southern cities. Wiggins and Rajah are next in line, filled theater, they are also a hit. Mr. Jacob Wiggins is a dancer we don't meet every day. Miss Mattle Whitman, male impersonator, or otherwise known as the dancer, is also a hit. Henderson and Henderson opened the 12th and made a decided hit in both songs and sayings. Miss Rosetta Brannen a singer of dainty songs, keeps the audience entertained by Zenobia Jefferson, soubrette, is also a very attractive lady act, doing some wire walking. J. H. Williams and Princess Rajah send regards to all friends in and out of pressure. Tim, E. Tim, and Frances Moras. W. L. HORNE'S MINSTRELS. With Young Buffalo Bill's Shows. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. (By S, Tutt Whitney, of the Smart Set Company.) Not long since, the Irish, all over the world, have been against the caricaturization of the Irish upon the stage, as presented by some actors and with some shows, even to the extent of assaulting performers while upstairs to fall into the line of objection "training that the stage Jew" is in no way like the Jew in real life. That most of the caricatures are a libel on the thrifty people and the people before the world. Last, but not least, the colored people rise to denounce the hopelessly ignorant, brutally absurd caricature to often drawn of the Negro upon The Irish, the Jew, and the Negro have had ample reason for their objections. But it is a fact that some of the most objectionable burlesques have been persecuted against each by members of their own These objections mean something. They mean that the show-going public is growing in intelligence and taste, and the perceptions of the audience will be the tastes of their audiences, eliminating anything objectionable in their songs, talk or action. The word "nigger" should be avoided in the movies and in the剧院s. There is nothing edifying or amusing in a crap game depicted upon the stage. The ubiquitous Razor has had a day, and the bad nigger who shoots at the body, and the nigger who hardly bring a ripple of mith from an intelligent colored audience, the colored man, with an abnormal acumen for purification, is about to satisfy a perennial "chicken appetite" is about worn out and must soon go to the discard. They are successful performers of the future will be those who study and satisfy the intelligent tastes of the public. SHE SAYS THE NEGRO IS A NATURAL SINGER. Mrs. Hackley Explains Requisites Necessary to Become a Singer Before Her Concert. OMAHA, Neb.—In the depths of the throat where the musical notes are shaped Mrs. E. Azalia Hackley, of Philadelphia, self-esteem the race question. Herself a beautiful woman, she writes with the notes of a thrush, she explained how the Negro had the latent ability to sing himself to wealth, influence and to power. She also demonstrated voice cultivation, and she explained how a of finished artist are formed, at a song recital in Jacobs Memorial Hall, Seventeenth and Dodge streets, last week. Three requisites are necessary, she said, in order to sing. He second, breath, and the third, voice. The Negro, she explained, is a natural singer. A Negro who can talk can sing. Nature attributes to sing. Nature attributes to sing. To be a fine singer, however, requires education. When the Negro, she said, gets the education so that he can direct his vocal powers and express himself to the rear. will drive all white singers to the rear. She explained the muscles of the stomach and back by which tone is exercised and used by great singers, are exercised and used by great singers. A person without a good education, she said, can never become a great singer. She showed how Mrs. Astor greets a friend and how an uneducated person can be a great singer. Conception is in the education and a correct conception of how to form accurate tones. She interpreted the songs of some of the great composers and before singing even the first song, she meant. She felt her audience with a much clearer knowledge of music than many of them ever had before. Whether singing well or not, she was creating. Her audience included white and colored people.—Morning World-Herald. RICHARD-PRINGLES' MINSTRELS EN ROUTE. (By Clarence Powell.) With our new glittering first part and the excruciatingly funny afterpiece, coupled with our peerless ollo, which consists of our peerless pompon, Old Vienna 500lst "Halowe'en Nigel Old Vienna" ence Powell; Galveston Quartette, Clever Billy Young and the Musical Four, we are ready to be pitted against all comers, and if they don't come away up high, we will be pitted against them for as a Fargo, N. D., critic expresses it, this is the best show Richards and Pringle have had for years, and, of course, we proudly have "The Came back!" Sydney Kirkpatrick returned to the fold on the 16th, after spending some months away, successfully conducting a hotel in Los Angeles. Messenger in Warren F. W. Simmons and D. D. Smith have returned home, after spending a few weeks with their husbands, while the band played "Hearts Bowed Down." Many years were dropped at the depot, "Downtown." Thomas Edwards (Shorty) has joined us, playing trombone in band and orchestra with success, and also captain and best bell team in the wide wide wide. Geo. Williams, author of "There'll Be Nothing Left but the Bones" and several other hits, has added another song to his collection, in these parts, which bids fair to bring the composer to the front more than any of the others he has written. Miles Hunter has been meeting with many successors in these parts, singing "Hymns to the Old Church," Powell's Georgia Giants will open their first game in Great Falls, Mont., June 24. Their line-up is as follows: Batteries, Shorty Edwards, Fred Simpson, Miles B. Hunter; Johnny Haywood, first base; Wm. Hunter; Johnny Kley, third base; David D. Smith, shortstop; Abe Wright, left field; Whitten Vine, center field; Sylvester Williams, right field; Chas. Burton, utility; Clarence C. owner and manager; Miles B. Hunter; and Shorty Edwards captains. "How's that?" Clever Billy Young is astonishing the audiences and highly pleasing them as well with his rousing topical ballads, a butterfly danced by Billy hurls cards to the audience, who individually write notes or subjects, and when they are handed back to Billy he songs from each card topical pleasures, and leaves the audience in a good humor.

The condition was very good, and the collection was excellent. W. H. Smith is pastor. SPRINGFIELD, TENN The Robertson County Colored Teachers' institute is in session here with Prof. M. L. Jones, a leading educator of the Negro race, as conductor. The institute has an annual meeting, and it is expected to be the best colored institute ever held in the county. Supt. O. H. Bernard will be present each day with timely instruction. An excellent solo was rendered by the orchestra, and Merriweather. Great interest is being manifested by the teachers in the work of the institute that is before them. The teachers are well prepared for evening. Before dismissive resolutions were drawn up by a committee of three, which paid very high tribute to Prof. L. A. Henderson, the doctor, and other citizens of the town. The organization of monthly association was next in order, in which all the necessary officers were elected. Adjourned to the meeting, the doctors and other citizens of the town. L. A. Henderson made an impressive talk on the importance of thorough preparation. SPRINGFIELD (ILL.) NOTES. Special to THE FREEMAN ATLANTA. GA. Special to THE FREEMAN. Well, things are rocking along here. Mr. Editor just about as they were when you were here, with the exception that the schools are all closed and we are having them off the job. The students from the colleges have all gone home and so have the teachers who live out of the city. Our city schools have closed and the teachers are resting after having read the appointment in the papers a few days ago. The children of the public schools are variously engaged. Some are resting, some playing and some are at work; some more are at play than there are at work. Some additions have been made to the teaching force of the colored public schools and the even more are at play not than there who have won their appointment by merit and not by recommendation. Among that class was Miss Ernestine Bell, of 300 Auburn avenue. She is said to have studied in the examination of any teacher in years. The "Man About Town" says "three cheers" for her and all others like her. Talking about schools reminds me that the colored people have got one more new school to open in the fall. It is a small affair. We were to get a $30,000 school; but if that one cost $20,000 the students had back. But that is better than nothing. Another thing, our children have one playground only; or rather one baking ground, for one is a hot place. There is a room enclosed by a rabbit. But that another one of those things that is better than nothing. But our white children have a play ground. Or each of the eight or nine walls. But Mr. Brown has no walls. That work, did the best he could. You know colored men cannot vote in Atlanta, hence they have no way to force the city to vote. We only get the crumbs that fall from the table (provided the dog does not get them). It be true that those who do wrong to their neighbors, and cheat them and oppress them, will not enter the kingdom of heaven, I tell you, my friends, when the political rulers of Atlanta pass the bar here will be some weeping, walling down the street, and ice cannot cool the heat. When it comes to real down-right taking the colored man's taxes and giving him nothing, Atlanta and Georgia politicians take the Our taxes are taken to support the Carnegie library, from which we can get no book or even peep in to see what it is like. We are also taking some legal steps in the matter. Our money is used to keep up the parks and play grounds for the white children, while our children swatter in the sun on the grass. We are playing ball in the streets or to be run over by cars, automobiles or other vehicles. These are only some of the lessons of injustice taught us by our white children, to make up these things more extensively later. One of the great events of the past week was the wedding of Mr. Hunicut, of Washington, D. C., and Miss Cornellia W. J. Gains. Miss Cornellia was performed Wednesday, June 7, at the bride, 212 Summit avenue, by His Grace Bishop W. J. Gains. The decorations were beautiful. The wedding was at high noon, the couple left at once for Wil伯尔奥 O. One of the sad events of the past week was the death of Mrs. Ary Hill, of Garton, Arkansas, the mother of the First Congregational church. She was a loving wife and a devoted mother of a loving boy and sweet girl, both of Atlanta University, of which she graduated, spoke interestingly of her life in the school. Rev. E. R. Carter preached to a mononuclear growing tribe to her a wife, mother of all needy. She was a member of Ruth Chapter of the Order of the Eastern Star, assisted by Dr. H. R. Butler, and the members rendered a most beautiful burial service over the remains. Atlanta has lost a noble woman. Mr. Luke Hill has the sympathy of all the people that knew her. The Twelve Club held its regular monthly meeting Friday afternoon at the University of Virginia, where were present Mrs. India Pitta, Mrs. Emma Amos, Miss Mary L. Gains, Mrs. Ida Ponton, of Jackson, Miss; Mrs. Lula Mrs. Jugenia Hope, Mrs. Hattie Alexander, Mrs. Moore William and hostess. This is the swell social club among the women of the city, and once they give the dinner and have their husband to dinner. Well, everybody is beginning to look for the return of Rev. H. H. Proctor from his trip to the Holy Land. It is exquisite to see the students in aation of its history. And it will be a deserving affair too. I do not think they could do too much for the doctor. He is a kind fellow and well liked by all the people. Do you know there will be quite an Atlanta colony in Europe this summer where students understand a number of the professors are hobnob with foreign mobility this sum- mer. Well, it takes the Southern colored gent to do the honors for his country with the aid of his Northern, Eastern and Western brethren. Jack Johnson, the Texas beauty, and pride of the American states, has gone on before to prepare the way. In conclusion, let me say, that this custom so prevalent here—I do not know about other cities—of persons who have his carriages for all the friends of the deceased is a nuisance and ought to be abolished. Who will bridle the donkey? Who will start the ball to rolling? Who will let these friends show their real courage, or stay at home and cry? I will say a few words on this later on. The General Baptist State convention just closed one of the best sessions in its history. The addresses and sermons were some of the best ever delivered in the event. The Masons just closed their regular annual sessions at Americus, Dr. H. R. Butler, who has been the grand master of the number of years, has been re-elected. The funeral services of Dr. E. W. Lee were conducted at Big Bethel A. M. E. church last Friday, the funeral delivered by Dr. Alexander, dean of the theological department of Morris Brown College. Other addresses were delivered by representatives of all the religious organizations. The Atlanta Baptist College has opened its doors to ministers and Christian workers for one month. There will be regular classes in the study of theology and theology, and will be delivered by Drs. W. M. White and E. M. Pinkney and others. PHOENIX, ARIZ.

BASEBALL NEWS, VALDOSTA, GA It has been proven that the Valdosta Comets are the strongest athletes of this section of the country. The Comets have torn down the "rep" of Florida's 11th-ranked Jacksonville P.A.'s of a jcksonville. The Comets down on an excursion last week for a series of three games. The first game was Jacksonville, by a score of 8 to 2. The Jacksonville third games were won by the Valdosta Comets, by a score of 7 to 6 on both days. While in Jacksonville we found our old Valdosta baseball king, Sam Jordan. He has been playing with Florida's leading teams, the Tampa Bay and the club in time to fight in two of the battles against Jacksonville. He came back with us to South Eorgia's metropolis, and is now a leading character in this strong season. He was offered a position by the Jacksonville team, but he "you have my sympathy, Jim, but it takes to keep me Valdosta has got it." MALVERN, ARK. Malvern Won From Little Rock. Before a large crowd the "M. H. S." baseball club defeated the Little Rock bolts by the score of 17 to 6. By great rails the team won innings, Malvern knocked one of Little Rock's pitchers out of the box, scored thirteen runs and cinched the game. The features of today's game was a trip play, by Jack Howell, with a sixth innning, and the batting of "Home Run Charlie" (Chas. Howell), who cleared the bases in the second and third innings, home run drives over the left field wall.

The New Orleans baseball club left home on their northern tour on June 13, making their first stop at Jackson. Miss, for three days, and winning all of their games, they played the Pensacola Giants 2, and Jackson 2; second game, New Orleans 8, Jackson 1, and third game, New Orleans 7, Jackson 0. The game, because they had been idle for a week, they having played the Pensacola Giants a double header at Pensacola on June 13, and Jackson 2; second game, New Orleans 6, Pensacola Giants 7. Hannon, formerly of the Pensacola Giants, is with the team against his old team-mates, making all of his chances good and getting three hits out of four times at bat. The boys are proud of his playing, beat Muni Sunday at home, and lead a of six runs gained by errors and a couple of hits in the third inning. All the boys are going to and owner Fran Pensacola who is with the team, and Manager-Captain Frank Walker are all smiles. Captain Walker showed his boys that he was a real leader, and two men on bases, with his team two runs behind in the ninth inning against the Memphis Tigers. We have two new players, one of them is a south-paw. Regards to the Pensacola Giants and all friends. THE JOHNSON-LANGFORD TALK- FEST. Big Money In Sight—Wary About Putin it Up—Johnson Will Defend Title Against the World While Abroad. While Jack Johnson has been under a constant fire of criticism ever since he won the title of chief of staff, it is notable fact that Johnson himself has never expressed his unwillingness, but has always contended that there was no need to fight in defense of his honors. It is notable fact that Johnson himself has never expressed his unwillingness, but has always contended that there was no need to fight in defense of his honors. Any claim upon his consideration. The subject came up the other day when the suggestion to fight Sam Langford was made. Arthur made it plain that if some promoter showed him the color of real money he would fight Langford or anybody else. He paid $5,000 as a forfeit once to bind a match with Sam Langford. Al Kauffman and our departed friend, Stanley Ketchell, but the only one who had ever fought was Woodman, who is Langford's manager, backed right down when he found that my money talked, but ever since then he has been telling folks Langford can't get CHAMPION JOHNSON POPULAR IN LONDON. Londoners Frantic to Grasp Champion Pugilist's Hand. LONDON—A great crowd greeted Jack Johnson at Paddington station. There was frantic fighting among the crowd for the hand that knocked out James J. Jeffries. The champion was evidently surprised by the enthusiasm, and was pleasing pleasure. He declared that he had been "booked" for the coronation. "I'm going to see King George try on his new hat," is the way he put it. The crowd cheered. He was at the station, ohson, his wife and party emerged from the human press and entered automobiles, in which they made a great noise. He was in a location where they stopped. Along the route Johnson was cheered and his golden teeth gleamed THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER constantly in response the result of being hit by Pederso the Johnson is the sensation of the metropolis. Landing at Plymouth he was nearly mobbed by an enthusiastic multitude, and the stationation was reached the crowd and the station, the police guard was necessary to get the black champion through the press and into his writing automobile. None of his hearty canoes can hope for a more hearty welcome than was awarded to the big Galveston roustabout, who now holds the world's championship. Johnson's jovial good nature and his flow of stories have already made a decided hitw it all he has met. By his oration, he has been Chicago, but never before encountered in chilly London, was the order, and the bubbly stuff, was as common at the robinhood. He beet a yegg on the bowery. Jenkins, the English theatrical manager, who will have charge of Jack's tour of the halls, was delighted. He declared that he would be champion ever to visit England, who seemed anxious to please the public, and he declared that he will make a record of his theatrical earnings before he returns. Jenkins proved to Johnson that the promise made to him before he sailed the Marmara was not a bluff to influence his visit. He furnished the champion with two tickets, which enabled him to see the ceremonies, and he gifted the patron a gift of Lord Lonsdale, greatest patron of histiana since the palmy days of the Marquis, Queenstown, and Johnson was as happy as the patron. The big Negro said he hoped he would not have as much trouble going back as he did coming across. He two days that John Arthur Johnson's time had come," said he to a group of interviewers. "I was not only afraid that the vessel would not sail." SEARCH FOR WHITE HOPE ABANDONED. "Boxing," the London weekly paper which deals entirely with the fistic world, sees little that is encouraging in the camp and the fighters, but defeated Jeffries in the desire of unearthing a white heavyweight to bring back the title to the white race. Treating the man historically in a recent issue "Boxing" says, "Hugh McIntoch would appear to have abandoned, at least temporarily, that he was fighting Olympia Annex is closed, and though we learn that there is a prospect of our being provided with several other interest groups, we don't seem to have advanced much farther in our investigations as to the identity of the man, a known town of supremacy from the colored race. "Con O'Kelley started off in promising style, but he has been ordered to take a more rest, so he will see him. English is for some time. We have heard very little more about the numerous American discoveries, who, with the solitary exception of the two American scientists, seem to have returned to the obscurity from which they appeared to be emerging. Lester may yet show the goods, but the only man of them all who looks like full-blooded American is Bombardier Wells. Wells may or may not succeed in annexing the Lonsdale belt this month, but we feel more satisfied than ever that Jim a year or two, and John a year or two, inevitably come in time, he should yet have a chance of proving himself the best there is. We want a real good man, too, and we want him badly. With Sam McVey making an almost even break of it with Langford, the four top places must be readily conceded to the representatives of the colony. We want Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette. Langford would appear, from the reports of his recent fight in Paris, to have been far below his usual form, and McVey is said to have been a turtle and overtured." - Cleveland Leader. ST. LOUIS GIANTS TAKE THREE STRAIGHTS FROM CHIVAGO LELAND GIANTS. Making Them a Big Factor in the Coming Championship Games. ST. LOUIS, Mo.—Never before in the history of Negro baseball has the St. Louis public been aroused to such a pitch as was demonstrated in the series just the Chicago Leland Giants, headed by Mr. Terry Cox, captain of the Cattain Pettis, arrived in St. Louis from Kansas City, Mo. with twenty-one straight victories stored under their belts. On une 21 a few personal friends, headed by Major R. R. Jackson, steamed in from Chicago to witness these games. It was no longer envious to see the much talked of games. Promptly at 1 o'clock on Wednesday, June 21, Manager Charles A. Mills ordered the gates thrown open to the pub, and much to his surprise the fans in the park cheered. Full Park was the same as a garden of roses and beauty. At 2:25 p. m. the Chicago Giants entered from the south entrance, headed by Captain Pettis, and followed by Captain Mills, with caps and white uniforms. The contrast was rich. At the sight of the Chicago boys the fans cut loose, and such cheerings in respect to a fit or a king, the latter Captain Mills, his squad emerged from the club house, all in a quick step, and when they came in view of the vast throng such clangings were bequeathed in Athletic Park. Like tried veterans, Mills' boys were ready for the fray. Captain Pettis, of the Chicago Leeland Giants, selected Walter Ball to face Captain Mills, and Captain Wallace, Captain Charles A. Mills is one of the largest little men in St. Louis today. The St. Louis Cardinals, of the National League, and the Chicago White Sox, of the American League, witnessed Friday's battle. Hustling Charles A. Mills is sure putting baseball on the map in St. Louis. Mills has a good eye for ball players. Access the Chicago Giants play against the American Giants.

Say, did you see those golden smiles of ackson J, Warrington and Mills? Well, what's what? Who's who?—St. Louis Giants. That boy Mongen and B. Taylor go after everything and get everything. Say, Chapple Johnson is missed in Chicago by more people than the ladies. Captain Wallace gives all the credit to his hard-hitting coaches. We think Chicago could use him again also. No! What? Boys, you had a triple play in the last game if the umpires had not been asleep. Better luck next time. We certainly missed our hard-hitting Bennett in the first two games, but his double helped break out the third session. McMurray could hardly rais his arm the result of being hit by Pederson, the Cuban pitcher; but he had them afraid. Telegrams from everywhere to Mills: "Good luck; how did you come out?" Answer: "Oh, you know; this boy Mills is the candy." Chapple would tell the boys: "Here comes an out curve on the outside corner. Sure enough, it would come. Zip—three strikes! "You are out." One run behind, two men out, two strikes on Sam Bennett, then a double scratch hit by Ben Taylor and another double by Lyons turned defeat in victory. Good boy, Lyons. Can anyone keep this boy Moore from hitting in a pinch? He drove in the two scores off Pitcher Ball, scored the two only runs of Pitcher Williams and then drove in two off Pitcher Gatewood. Iron Man Gillian won three games in four days. That's why we are champions. Well, Steel-Arm, you deserved a shutout by Ben Pettis, which bounded on the fence just out of the fielder's reach, spoiled it. TEAM DOES GOOD BATTING.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—Falls City Giants shut out Bowling Green in a one-sided game before a crowd that went wild with enthusiasm.

It started last Sunday, June 14, 2014, at Pensacola Gymery, Ala., played the Pensacola Stars, at Lincoln Park. Five thousand attended the game, the largest crowd ever at a game here played by colored people. The team was led by the last half of the fifth innings, when Patton scored, which made the game a tie, the visitors having scored in the first half. In the local boys began scoring in every innings until they run it up to 11.
