E. church, where he was gratified to find that the pastor was a Gammon man. For a number of years, Thirkeld was president of Gammon Theological scores of brilliant colored papers in every section of the country. He met the secretary of the Y. M. A. Mr. Greenwood of the people of his at Gammon. The people have built up $100,000 for a new Y. M. C. A. building the use of Negroes. Dr. Thirkeld met the seven Howard graduates, whom he had met. He was pleased to note the activity of the Howard spirit in the Christian part in the Pacific coast. He took up Los Angeles, held during the session, the National Medical Association. One of his best addresses was that on the Opportunity to the Obligation to Work Among American Colleges in Church and Sunday School," before the San Francisco Methodist preachers' meeting, calling out a highly profitable discussion.

The Amphion Giee Club Installs Officers. At a complimentary dinner in honor of the ladies who took part in the recent production, the Pirates of Penzance, and participate in prominent citizens, at the St. Regis campus Fourteenth street, the famous Amphion Club gilbond lasted the Wednesday evening. The ocers are as follows for the ensuing year. The ocers are as follows for the ensuing year. J. H. Washington; vice president, George H. Jefferson; secretary, Clarence Guild, former president of the Amphion Library, Harold M. Hartman; librarian, and musical director, J. Henry Lewis. Among the guests was Mr. Frank S. Williams, formerly president of the Amphion Library, Harold M. Hartman; librarian, and musical director, J. Henry Lewis. Among the guests was Mr. Frank S. Williams, formerly president of the Amphion Library, Harold M. Hartman; librarian, and musical director, J. Henry Lewis. Several of his selections were of his own composition. The success of his selections is very gratifying to his host of friends, and concerted selections were rendered by the church, the nation's capital, and invited to them are highly prized by "The Smart Set." At the business session which preceded the dinner, reports connected with the recent production of the comic opera, "The Matter of the Dinner," were considered and audited. It is likely the club will arrange a series of dates in the vicinity for the summer season. the itinerary to include Atlantic City, Baltimore, Park and other points. Next season the club will present "The Pirates," "Patience," "Robin Hood," "The Bohemian Girl," or some other standard oper at the Howard theater here. A suggestion is made that the club be ordered "Pinafire" be revived. Mr. Lewis, who is a master of the baton and of stage management, has the matter under advertisement. Amphibians are to be greatly strengthened at every point. Messrs. F. S. Bolden and S. P. Brown were elected to membership on the board of directors, and the club voted to establish a waiting room for the performance, since it is filled. The Amphibian Club has a membership of twenty-one persons, all enthusiastic students of the best music and willing to work. The organization has had a long history of service during this period. Henry Lewis has been director without interruption. The club has sung for Presidents of the United States, ustices of the Supreme Court, Cabinet Ministers and for the Diphilic Corps and has invariably scored a "hit." Mattie Lomax Not to Hang. Dr. Washington in Town. Dr. Booker T. Washington was in the city last Friday and had an interesting interview with President Taft at the White House. The Chief Executive was delighted to see the "illizated" cultural status and economic opportunities of the Negro race was one that would have done our people everywhere a mint of good to have heard. The President is a trustee of the colleges and high education networks of the work that is being carried on at Howard and Fisk as well as that which Dr. Washington is fostering at Tuskegee. Mr. Taft believes, with the sensible members of the team, that an educator of those in a position to receive and use it to advantage, and is in favor of a sound, serviceable training for the Negro masses, who in the final analysis, must be the best speech and most "illizated" was never among in the infections of the people of America as he is today. He "wears well" because he is genuine to the core. The race is proud of Booker T. Washington. The News in Brief. The Rochester Sentinel, T.

A bill has been introduced in Congress interest of a home for aged and infirm Negroes best sample of the race journalism that has been sample of the many moons. Mr. Fortune announces that many of the paper is not to be changed to "The North Star," but will remain "The Sentinel." Mr. Fortune should be liberally supported and assiduously and made so many sacrifices. It is expected that Oliver Randolph, editor of the Washington American, will be assigned to a comfortable berth in the Post Office Department. Prof. J. L. Wiley, principal of the Fessenden Academy at Ocala, Florida, was in the city a few days ago and delivered a telling address at the commencement exercises of the Perry who is a street high school.

The papers of the country should be seen right about the status of Auditor Ralph Tyler. He has no official tenure, and consequently he has no "turn" to "ex-pire." He remains in office "at the pleasure of the President," and will never have time helped all competitors. It is difficult to convince many. Dr. Rivers friends will be the cause in the victim of "frame-up"—or that a combine was not up against him. The Post gathered up a barrel of Negro money the deal. Mr. Oliver Randolph, editor of the Washington American, has been merited for the clearness in the Post Office Department. Mr. Bismarck R.

R., and Assistant Patriotic Instructor, G. A.

His speakers for each building were carefully selected, and in every instance they taught a valuable lesson. He taught the eulogies of "Old Glory" and of the sacred principles for which the stars and stripes stand. Next year Major Douglass expects to achieve even grander results. He will teach the students well this year, and will bring on some new material that was not available last month. "Flag Day," as it should be, is a stellar event in the life of the patriotic Negroes of the stric of Columbia. The students will learn some of its alleged devotees fail to live up to the standard represented by it. The third and fourth floors of the new $100,000 Y. A. building will be completed and will be ready for occupancy. Secretary L. E. ohnson will soon announce that Thanksgiving Day will be set apart for the formal dedication of the structure. It is expected that Taft will deliver the dedicatory address. --- At the conclusion of his service here in the Census Office, W. Preston Bayless, a clever writer and a newspaper man of the time, has launched a race journal at Springfield, O. aiming to present an organ of state-wide influence. Dr. W. T. Vernon, inspector of Indian schools, has his headquarters in the Pension building in connection with the office of the Commissioner of Education for the Five Civilized Tribes. Dr. Vernon finds the duttes quite congenial. The Common Welfare Club is a new civic organization established here for the purpose of providing a Negro race. At a recent meeting G.A.

The lowest of the District winners received 550,892 votes over 10,000 votes, and the guard had to win a winner. As it was every organization in the city combined on him and at one time helped all competitors. It is difficult to convince many of Dr. Rivers' friends that he was not the victim of a crime, but that he was working up against him. The Post gathered up a barrel of Negro money the deal.

The papers of the country should be right about the status of Auditor Ralph W. Tyler. He has no official tenure, and consequently he has no "term" to "expire." He remains in office "at the pleasure of the President, and will never have the response." The is no likelihood of Mr. Tyler being superseded. No official in Washington has served with greater satisfaction than has Mr. Tyler, and he is not the only one who never tire of congratulating him upon the skill with which he administers the affairs of his complicated bureau. No law segregating the races in the matter of homes or creating "jim-crow" street cars can be adopted for Washington. There is no definite sentiment for any such arrangement. When a possible vacancy in the office of Assistant Register of the Treasury is acted at, the Hon. "Phil" Waters, of West Virginia, is seen to prick up his ears. . . . Mr. Cyrus Field Adams, transportation agent of the National Negro Business League, will be able to announce in a radio broadcast the roads for delegates coming from the territory east of the Mississippi river.

PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE NEWS RECEIVED OF DEATH OF AFRICAN MISSIONARY In Church Cemetery-Safe and Sane Fourth Celebrated-Quiet in Society-Orphans Band on Tour of State. By Lee L. Brown, 1006 West Chestnut Street. Home Phone 8007-L. The very sad news of the death of Lewis Bouey, the Baptist missionary, in far-away Africa, was received at the Baptist Foreign Mission rooms a short time after his missionary visit, responding secretary. It seems that Lewis died May 27th. He secured a government position in November, 1910, as collector of customs, at Barlate Father, and that he had become responsible to the church. He was also taken to debts, who died some time ago while in service. He had not been well for a long time, and most of his earnings were spent in the church. He was taken to Cape Mount by Mr. J. D. Mount. The bod yw interred in Mount Biont Baptist church cemetery. A military escort, the Sunday school and many beloved friends followed his remains until he was taken out an appeal for the $1,800 left against Dr. Boeye. Lewis was born in Macon City, Mo., in 1874. All contributions will be thankfully received at the Baptist For-mer Mission rooms, 726 West Walnut street. . . . The death of Rev. Bouey brings to our mind the deaths in the past ten months of so many loyal workers here in America, both in the church and in the over walkers who have been killed in the lives for the good of others. I am reminded of the recent death of Sister Lula M. Jackson, who died in Florida shortly ago and who whose funeral was of the largest number in the South Ky. We understand that there is a move on foot to erect a monument over this good sister's grave, yet of the sacrifice she have raised an objection to this is true, it is to be regretted, for this good sister is worthy of any homage that the Baptists scattered all over the United States have raised in her strange how so many of our faithful workers very often have their remains deposited in the cemetery and soon forgotten, not even a board to mark their burial. We thought enough of their own Paul Lawrence Dunbar to erect a special monument in the city where he died. It is a rather dull week in the Falls City, especially is it a hard for a newspaper correspondent to get up his news items, with all the June weddings over, the public school teachers appointed, the public school teachers national going on, everyone seems to be off or preparing to take a vacation, a few moonlight excursions are going up the hill, and everyone seems to be the Fourth of July and we have not even heard the sound of a fire cracker, even the Louisville Cubs are over in the Hoosier Valley, and the Knicks are the bacon. Yet the loyal Kenjie game who are tered all over the U. S. and who are reached by The Freeman must have a bit of news from the "Home Town." The Huntington, Va., Orphans Band has been sojourning in our city for the past week. Wherever they played large crowds gathered on the streets and contributed to the cause they represent. They left this week for a tour through the Western states. The Eckstein Norton Institute Boys' Band, all decked in their uniforms, played the music during vacation. These boys have traveled from ocean to ocean and have played before two Presidents. Prof. Saffel, principal of the Shelbyville public schools, was in the city last Sunday circulating among friends. Prof. Saffel has also been a very successful underwriter in the city. We believe that she is the only colorized woman embalmer in the state of Kentucky. Quite a number of the post office clerks and carriers are enjoying a fifteen days' vacation. Prof. H. Francis ones, grand chancellor of the K. of P. lodges of the state of Kentucky, is sojourning in our city. He is expecting a great meeting in Danville next month. Prof. ow H. Hayes, assistant principal of the Douglass high school, passed through our city last week enroute to Springfield, Ky. Mr. Thomas Hammonds and wife, formerly of Louisville, who were sojourning in the city a short time ago, have gone to West Baden Springs, Ind., where he will remain a few days. Mr. Hammonds is also a friend of the wife, wish him much success in whatever profession he has chosen to follow. At a meeting of the trustees of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute at Frankfort recently, the following teachers were elected for the ensuing year: Dean of the department of mathematics, H. E. Barker of the department of history, S. T. Collins; department of English and methods, H. C. Russell; department of mechanics and manual training, J. L. Lawson; department of printing, J. H. Rives; secretary to president, R. S. Darnaby; secretary to president, W. S. Browne; P. W. L. Jones; matron, Mrs. A. G. Smith; librarian and instructor in pre paratory department, Miss Lula Coleman; department of sewing and domestic science, Mrs Anna T. O'Neil; instructor of art and design, Mrs Lyons; farm foreman, Charles Jones; janitor and custodian of buildings, Lloyd Graves. Teachers in the department of Latin and drawing, department of agriculture, department of music, English branches were not elected, but will be considered at the next meeting of the board. The young folks had a gay time last Monday evening. They tripped the light fantastic until a late hour. The occasion was the annual dance of the Epicurian Club, composed of a number of popup men and women, all decorated in a very artistic way. Several ladies from Frankfort, Lexington and other points were guests of the club. The following are the officers: Roland Brad-den, art teacher; vice president; James Jackson, secretary; Albert Desper, assistant secretary; Allison Brogs-dale, treasurer. Miss Abbie Mitchell is attracting great crowds at the Garden theater this week. She was formerly with Cole & Johnson in "The Red Moon." Mr. and Mrs. George Barnes, of West Chestnut street, have issued invitations to their fifth wedding anniversary. We enjoyed a very sane fourth of July in Louisville; not very sane but only a few accidents. The U. B. F. lodges had a grand parade, followed by an all-day picnic at their new hall and Palm Garden. The morning trains brought us to the train station, and the strangers to the city. Quite a number of missions enjoyed the Fourth by taking a part in private picnics and fishing parties. A large delegation of ladies will leave this week for Owensboro, Ky., to attend the Woman's Baptist Educational convention. It was through the efforts of this organization that the very beautiful building on the campus of the University were erected. BALTIMORE, MD. KANSAS CITY, MO. Mr. J. A. Crawford, one of the popular head waiters of the Baltimore, is now in charge of the Pompeian room. The Pompeian room is one of the many dining rooms of this hotel. Mr. Crawford and his staff have been the he justly won his promotion. He succeeded Mr. Neal, who went Salt Lake, Utah, to open that new hotel out there. Mr. Crawford is well liked by all. He went down to Dallas, Tex., a few months earlier, and was serving young ladies. He is stopping with Mr. Clarence McAfee, 1330 Vine street. BILOXI. MISS.

NATIONAL NEGRO BUSINESS LEAGUE. ‘The twelfth annual meeting of the National Negro Business League will be held at Little Rock, Ark., Wednes- day, Thursday and Friday, August 16, 17 and 18. The program for the meet: ing is now being formulated and will soon be published. The progress being made by the Negro people of Oklahoma has in- duced the officers of the League to set aside the morning session, Thursday, August 17, as Oklahoma Day. Oppor- tunity will be afforded the live Negro business men of this new state to put before the country not only the oppor- tunities that are open to enterprising people, but a statement as to how these opportunities are already being taken advantage of along all lines of business and in professional and edu- cational directions as well. ‘The Negro town of Boley, for instance, has just installed a $35,000 light and power plant, and there are many other evi- dences of superior progress being made by the Negroes of that state. Hon. Scipio ones, president of the State Negro Business League of Ar- kansas, announces that the State League and the Local Negro Business League of Little Rock now have their plans fully matured for the coming meeting. ‘The Chamber of Commerce and the Board of Trade, through their respective secretaries, are in active co-operation with Messrs. ones, Bush, Booker and others. The entertain- ment committee of the Chamber of Commerce has appropriated $500.00 for the entertainment of the League, and in addition will provide for the place of meeting. The local Negro Business League of Little Rock will also make large appropriations to cover all fea- tures of entertainment for those who are present at the coming meeting. Delegates from the Eastern and Western states ean reach Little Rock without annoyance of any character, if they will organize special Pullman or Tourist car parties in accordance with the plans already announced by the national organization and pub- lished in the various newspapers of the country. Hon. J. E. Bush, a mem- ber of the executive committee of the national organization, is especially anxious that large numbers of dele- gates from the Northern, Eastern and ‘Western states attend the coming meeting, so as to see something of the progress being made by the Negroes of the South. ‘The Freeman can be secured from W.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JULY 8, 1911. TO THE PUBLIC Mr. W. J. Ballou is no longer a representative of the Freeman, and has no authority to solicit subscriptions or transact any business for the company. Great Zeus! it was hot. Booker T. and all the rest of them here next month. Everything cold has been good to drink during the hot spell. The hot weather of a few days ago got the oldest citizen to talking. We gave President Taft one of the times of his life. "It was great," says he. Come again, say we. And, passing, cast lingering glances behind, as if he would longer stay—old Sol. And it looks as if he were considerably wroukht up in his affections in the meanwhile. The safe and sane Fourth was inducted into "office" with fitting ceremonies. The head of the nation, state and municipal officers and the leading citizens stood sponsor. Next month the Negro Business League convention at Little Rock, the conclave of Knights of Pythias in Indianapolis. Take your choice if you cannot take it all in. The Colored Uniform Ranks, Knights of Pythias, won attention and applause during the 4th of July parade. They looked soldierly and moved with clock-like precision. Dr. Booker T. Washington will also attend the K. P. demonstration in Indianapolis next month. It was thought it would be impossible for him to attend owing to the meeting of the Business Men's League in Little Rock, Ark. The doctors' advice on how much water and what kind was suspended for a few days during the hot spell. Everybody drank all they could take on, and had appetite left but no capacity. Nobody seems to have been hurt. Maybe the heat squared things. The new 4th of July, like the Phoenix, the fabled bird that arose from its ashes unto a greater self, has arisen from the dead self unto newer heights. Or like the chambered nautilus, has left the low-vaulted past for newer and higher mansion, expanding at the call of necessity born of the advancing day. A NOTED NEWSPAPER MAN REC OGNIZED. Mr. R. W. Thompson, the well-known Negro national correspondent, has been promoted and appointed to an important position in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. Robert O. Bailey. We learn that Secretary Bailey is a finished and experienced newspaper writer. This of itself gives our friend and co-worker, Thompson, another promotion in the line of his adaptability in journalism. The Sentinel congratulates Mr. Thompson and wishes for him abundant success.—Florida Sentinel. And now Vernon is mentioned for the presidency of Morris-Brown College, at Atlanta, Ga. He seems to have been born under a lucky star. The Morris-Brown school is one of the very best of its kind in the South. To mention Mr. Vernon for its president is no small distinction, in view of the great number of individuals that are available. Among those mentioned as the late Dr. Lee's successor are Drs. W. A. Fountain, F. R. Simms and Wm. Byrd, Hon. W. T. Vernon, of Kansas, and President D. J. Jordan, of Kittrell College, North Carolina. Bishop Smith, who seems to be one of the stronger factors in the matter of choice for the presidency of the school, says that he has no special preference. He thinks, however, that the one chosen to head the school should have good business judgment, as well as being of the proper intellectual status. HARRIET TUBMAN The Reformer, of Durham, N. C. said in a recent issue: "The race cannot afford to forget the labors of Harriet Tubman, who is at present reduced to penurious circumstances. She was in the front ranks of those who labored and sacrificed in order to give the Negro freedom, and was especially active in conducting the underground railroad, whereby thousands of runaway slaves found their way to freedom. She has a right to expect that a grateful public will not let her suffer in her old age for the necessities of life. Her work and words, along with those of others, carried conviction to the heart of the nation as to the horror of slavery and the blighting curse on the people who engaged in it. As a part, and that an important one, of this great movement, she merits the gratitude not only of the Negor race, but of the entire country." If Harriet Tubman is worthy of consideration, there is no reason why the race shouldn't show some of the gratitude spoken of. It is a very easy matter, if we will only think so, and act accordingly. Several papers have called attention to her destitute condition, notwithstanding the fact that she gave her all to save others from a similar fate. What she did is generally known. We can see no reason why those in position to enlist support do not do so at once. The facts in the case seem to be paraded; relief is suggested, but it ends there. NOVEL LEGISLATION A Georgia legislator has proposed a novel test in the legislature of that State for the further reduction of the Negro vote. Indeed, the test is so novel that it appears a huge joke, Joke or no joke, it is being seriously considered through the columns of the papers. One publication, suspecting the proposed test would be a laughing matter, says: "It might at first appear that this bill and its plan is the product of some crank, but such is not the case, and letters from representatives indicate that it has a fair chance of passage if it is properly handled. Captain Slade is one of the real friends of education in this State, and has done much to place this means of advancement within the reach of the Negroes." "He is a friend of the Negro, and believes that there is hope for him, but frankly admits his conclusion that it is unwise to trust him with the ballot or to permit his temptation by corrupt politicians or the yearnings for equality that repose in every black breast. He thinks it will be generations before the Negro can be safely trusted to participate in the government of himself and his white brethren." The bill in substance demands that the Negro applicant be like Caesar's wife—above suspicion. It requires that he must have a modest, virtuous white woman to stand sponsor for him as an eminently virtuous individual, with whom she would trust herself at any time and place without protection. The whole business appears silly and absurd, yet there's no telling what may be done. We, however, suspect that the Georgian is doing a case of stringing just to see the Negroes get into a fret. HARPING ON BROWNSVILLE The Boston Guardian is on the Brownsville affair with renewed vigor. In a recent issue of that publication very much of that unfortunate affair was rehearsed. W. H. Lewis, the Assistant Attorney General, also comes in for a good scoring because he supported the government's policy. To us it appears that nothing has been gained in the controversy by way of additional public sentiment in the Negro's favor. Agitation that does not bring some sort of relief is dangerous agitation. The proposition is not meant to suggest the surrender of any claims looking forward to race advancement; it does suggest thoughtfulness as to the ways and means of accomplishing purposes. The Brownsville affair was more unfortunate than is generally thought. Most of us have looked merely at two phases of the situation. One of these, the loss of occupation by men who had long been in the service, is the lesser, simply because it is an incident. And no matter how ruinous it may be to those immediately concerned, it ends there, because no principle is involved. The other phase is one of principle, meaning, as thought, that the men were deprived of occupation by force, there being no justifiable cause for the same. Or, to swing it towards the judicial—condemnation without sufficient evidence, without no evidence, as it doubtless was in some cases. But beyond these unfortunate phases was one more, which was almost alarming in its importance. The complete growth of the Negro race, as measured by its leading men, was made known. It had learned to talk out in unsuspected places. Railing at the administration was the unexpected; it meant a species of independence that was hardly thought possible. The belligerent attitude of the race astounded Roosevelt, but he got on his Teutonic dignity, clenched his symbolic teeth and got equal to the occasion. This spirit of opposition to the administration, and practically united, was the essence of it all. Discerning men will notice that since that time there has been more direction and sharper decision in racial affairs. The inference is that discerning white men think to have discovered the true drift of Negro sentiment and Negro disposition, holding both or either as inimical to the good of the Nation. The question is, Have they made a proper diagnosis? It will not matter much if they have failed in the conclusion, if they act on a theory of their own deduction—and to the extent that the race question too greatly precedes patriotism. The unfortunate affair should have been permitted to sleep forever. If race disposition, character, was read from the declarations at that time, and that subsequent actions of white men were based on what they thought they saw, it makes for an ugly situation which may be years in righting. We do well to dismiss Brownville as a thing of agitation; it means the massing of race against race, and not an entering wedge towards the solution of racial problems. CARY B. LEWIS. JOURNALIST While on a visit at Louisville, Ky. Cary B. Lewis, one of the youngest and most widely-known newspaper THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. men in the country, paid his respects to the managing editor of the Louisville Daily Times, a paper that employed him as a reporter for four years. Since living in Chicago, the interests of the colored people have not been represented in the white papers. He made a personal visit to the editor of the Times and recommended Lee L. Brown, Louisville correspondent of the Freeman to become a regular reporter. Mr. Brown, of the Times, promised Lewis that he would give the matter serious consideration and Brown a chance. Our Chicago writer feels that while he was treated royally on his visit to the folks at home, the greatest pleasure was the recognition given to Brown to get employment on a daily. Mr. Lewis was in the city this week on Pythian business and from now on he will be a "booster and news agent" for the city of Indianapolis and the supreme lodge and encampment to be held here in August. He says the talk of the people of the northwest, is "On to Indianapolis in August." LOOKING PRESIDENT TAFT OVER Monster Demonstration on a Safe and Sane Fourth of July. God bless the trees! Every fellow that was out on the Fourth to see the President, and who happened to get located on the wrong side of the street, said, or felt something equivalent to that, owing to that soothing hot morning. The heat moved at times as sheets of invisible flames, then it came zig-zag, criss-cross—any old way. It was not necessary to exclaim, "Shine out fair sun, and let the sun pass by"; it was there in all its intensity. Shady spots in the line of march vied with the President for attention, but he got the better of the argument, every available spot being sought and occured in spite of the toridity of the heavens. --- A president was to be seen that day; not an everyday affair, by any means. So, what will it be, was the thought: to disincorpse me, to disincorpse its chef d'oeuvre. It was the call of history, patriotism, appearing and appealing in its most acceptable forms. In the last week of July, I was the main of that monster throng, they will relate with pride the happenings of the day, July 4, 1911, when President Taft invited me to meet with groups listen with becoming reverence, those whose memories associated with the distant past and the present. I may well be proud of his trip to India, where semi-gods of ancient days, returning home victorious from the battlefield, with human trophies dangling in the chariot's wake were more enthusiastic than the men in the republic of the United States of America. And he was proud of the enthusiasm, the loyalty, in proof of the fact that the chariot was safe, strong and sensible; he never run risk in perishing from the face of the earth. He said that it was great. "It grieved me that a glorious expression; and were he yet talking, he would still say no more. It was great, best expresses the whole affair. Great things were done to insure that all of the tingles, considerations and at the same time to "bring" the thing of a sane Fourth. Even the thousands of citizens did not know what was in store for them until the day they were brought to the streets with its surprise on surprise of delights; they will linger 'till memory fades. Human ingenuity could scarcely contrive or the mind conceive of more fitting symbols of the country when it was young—represented in floats and devices, and which aptly bore upon those incidents in the history of the nation of a nation's birth. Here were enchantment from the beauty side—art and workmanship, not to speak of the lessons in art and craft, learned of these magnificent representations. The old scenes were re-enacted—the spirit of 78 and the rest of it. William Penn, Marquette and Joliet, Pocahontas in the wilderness, the old cracked "Liberty" bell, Massasoit and others with their red band of followers, signing of the Declaration of Independence, of the Plecher, Betsy Ross, together with many of the school boys that day were characterized by school boys and girls, suitably costumed. The tens of thousands that lined the ways enjoyed a novel treat, wholly beyond expectation. To have seen the head of the nation surrounded by distinguished gentlemen and a satisfactory program, but here were these beautiful expressions of patriotism and fealty appealing to heart and eye; it was indeed a great day! The military features were no less marked—standing for the bone and sinews of the nation. Young brawn and nerve caught up in war as well as in the paisled hands of the old guard, and in the language of the old darky, sergeant, "It never toched de groan!" The marching bands and groups of colored children, the colored uniform ranks of Knights of Pythias and other orders marched with military precision to the delight of thousands, testifying to the hope that they were an unacceptable and expected part of the nation. It was agala day, ushering in the spirit of reform that makes for a safe, sane nation that they were an unacceptable and expected part of the nation, the state and municipal officers and the leading citizens. It was, indeed, a great day! "Toe, ice," were musical sounds a few days ago; and the ice man with a piece of ice was a most enviable sight. From all that is reported, Dr. W. H. Furniss will stay right along in Hayti as minister to that country. The applicants for the job had grown to a be-wildering number. The easiest way out of it appears to be best way. No one is particularly appalled except those who cared to succeed him, and which is natural enough. RANCE SMITH IN THE STATES.

GARDNER. A Brilliant Student, Now Instructor at State Agricultural and Mechanical College. Normal Ala Mr. Mansfield T. Gardner, a graduate of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, has made a brilliant record as a prize winner since 1908. He received his first prize in 1910 from Ala., in the city schools and afterward entered Tuskegee Institute, where he made a brilliant record in both the academic and industrial departments. He won the best of twenty dollars in 1908 by producing the best piece of work in the blacksmithing division. In his first effort he was in competition with several who had been in the department for years. He won the first prize at the Macon, Ala., Fair on exhibition of a pair of dog irons which he made before he finished his apprenticeship in blacksmithing division. His first prize was offered for the best declaration to be awarded to persons below the senior class. In 1910 Minister Ernest W. Lyon offered a prize of ten dollars to the student who won the first prize. In 1911 United States Should Aid Liberia in Maintaining Her Independence. In this ef- 1910 fort Mr. Gardner was successful over all competitors. Next to commencement perhaps no occasion excites more interest than the Boston Trinity Oratorical contest at which the successful orator is awarded the "Boston Trinity Church Prize" of twenty-five dollars in gold in 1910 Mr. Gardner competed for the Boston Oratorical occasion, was the successful competitor his subject "The Future of Liberia," and excelled his competitors by far in both composition and poetry. In the school year Mr. Gardner taught blacksmithing at the State A. & M. College, Normal, Ala., at which he was very successful and made a splendid recorder who wrote an riddle. This time he wrote an riddle-writing art competition for the formia Tanning Company of St. Louis, Mo., on the use and disposition of the blacksmith's horseshoeing apron. He was the only prize winner in Alabama in that confluence which was open to anybody in the state. These are but few instances in which Mr. Gardner has shown himself to be possessed of keen intellect and rare ability. He has no better ability than other young men of his age, but he had made better use of the thief than most of them do. He enters all conflict to win. Who should be the motto of every one who tends to amount to anything in this life. LOUISVILLE TIGERS SHUT OUT LOUISVILLE EVANSVILLE.

The street Parade was dressed by the Reese Broth- ers, to whom the management extends thanks. ‘The program ran as follows: Leon Diggs, tenor solo: ‘The Southern ‘Trio made’ a decided: impression; Ed. ‘Williams, “banoisjt; Alonzo Moore, the best singie colored magician on the stage, whose production of fowis, animals and a boy from an empty cabinet were features of his greatness. A most novel amateur entertainment by Bert Murphy, Sam H. M. Davis, Flournoy Miller, Aubrey Lyles, Charles Bruce and Henry’ Saparo was a decided hit, ‘The Dahomiar Trio made a hit.

THE CINCINNATI THEATERS. The Gaither—The Pekin—The Mag- ante ‘Though the weather was sweltering hot on Monday’ night, the local playhouses Were crowded at ¢ach performance. | ‘The Pekin opened with another one of the usual strong attractions. The Arntes, Billy and Grace, are the headliners. This is the first appearance of this team of royal entertainers on the avenue, and from the many encores they were’ com= pelied to respond to, it looks like they are Kood for several more weeks in Browns- ville, Hayden and Vaughn have a good singing and talking act." ‘They have nice costumes ‘and some good songs.” Miss Laura Smith, who was held over as a fea ture, scored’ with her two big numbers, “Casey ones” and “I Wonder Why.” ‘The card as a whole is a very strong one. ‘The Gaither has one of the best bills of the season. Miss Rosetta Brannon and Mattie Whitman open the card with a very clever act. Miss Whitman has one of the strongest voices for a woman ever heard in this house. ‘The girls have pretty cos- tumes and work hard to please the auc dience. ‘The team is a new one around here. ‘Tim Owsley and W. Henri Bow- man follow with a very funny sketch, en- titled “High Financeering.” In addition to the talking part of the act they have some new songs that are good. Mr. Ows- ley has caught the new idea and sings a parody on “Some of ‘These Days” which Caught the crowds. ‘The biz number” on the bil is Wallace and. Sandifer, ‘Lizale and Joseph B. ‘This team scored heavily on the opening. Sandifer sank his old fav- orite, “Take Me With You When You Go,” which he has improved some by adding 'a new verse, a “Parody on Jack Johnson.” Miss Wallace has been absent from us s0 long we could not help but appreciate her, but her work alone was enough to bring her old friends back and make a host of new ones. When the Fifth street houses were first opened, she was one of the big attractions, and ‘now her work shows a wonderful improvement. Her big number, “Monkey Rag,” with Joe Sandifer doing the monkey, Was a knockout, Notes. Sid Perrin and Frank Montgomery are busily engaged rehearsing the main num- bers of the big Stock Company to be put on at the Magnolia theater, formerly the Lyceum, on Central avenue. Robert Lindsey, a young man who is quite a contortionist, has been tried out By some of the local managers and he proved a very clever little performer, and his act is a novelty and should draw well if given chance. At the Pekin next week, Marshal and Woody, Miss Abbie and Company, Leroy Bland,’ and Miss Laura Smith will be among the attractions. ‘Wallace and Sandifer, and Brannon and ‘Whitman will be among the holdovers at the Gaither next week. * CAMPBELL AND WARFIELD A Big Hit at the Northwestern Pavil- lion, at Indianapolis. Campbell and Warfield, those two popu lar favorites in Indianapolis, are playing an engagement of two weeks at the Northwestern Pavillion. Messrs, Howard and Knox will keep the team for another week, as they are a knockout at each performance. CROWN GARDEN THEATER, INDI- ANAPOLIS, IND. ‘The bill at the Crown Garden this week is bright and attractive, Jones and Gil- liam have become favorites. Their sing- ing and dancing goes big. ‘They are high ‘class in their tine. “Alberta Perkins is a swell proposition. She Wears good clothes, makes good eyes. She {sa “oon song” shouter, but she 1s at the top o the. business. ‘“‘Gilliam’ and Harper. are top-notchers. Ie will be sufficient to say that the Crown Garden "visitors have seen no. better work than this team does. “May, and May, better known as “String Beans,” are strong favorites. ‘The audi- ence goes wild over thelr work.

To the colored people in the show business: In reading this article and others which will follow, I wish that you would be able to recognize the historian of the stage, but simply present facts as I have picked them up here and there, and if I overlook anyone it is a mistake of the mind and not of the heart, and I should not be the Nego in out-door amusements, and in the ensuing article I will deal with the Negro in other branches of the show business. In reading don't be too harsh in your encounters, as I have explained myself. "You knock me hard," said Rastus Snow, "but I know things that you don't know. And if you wake up you watch me, first you wake up and find me out of your class."

It is remarkable and pleasing to observe how rapidly this town is becoming one of the theatrical centers and we are proud of the many people are learning to patronize and appreciate the grade of entertainment offered by the performers who cast their lot for the managers of the many houses of theaters here makes this burg rank with any of the other cities of the country in regard to the places for clean and wholesome amusement and elevating entertainment. Conditions here offer a large field for good performers. Many prominent performers, formerly employed on white vandeville circuits, or members of large theatrical companies, numerative to exhibit their talent for the amusement of the theater-goers of this place. Most notable among this group are ford theaters on Mount, Andrew Tribble, Lottie Gee, John Rucker, Lew Henry, Leigh Whipper, T. Spencer Finley, Cubanola Trio, Susie Sutton, Golden Gate Trio, and many other names do not come to mind to present a play. Ford Dabney, the noted composer and arranger, is here for the summer, presumably to rest, but he has been very engaged in the management of Ford Dabney Theater, which is owned by him; and who can THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. tell but that he is thinking out some elegant themes in music for famous song artists to be featured by some excelent performers will appear next season in a stellar role. The Howard Theater offers a great opportunity for the organization of a Musical Comedy Company is taking advantage of the same. It is hoped that Mr. Whitney and his able corps of performers will be hampered in the production by lack of a musical and equip a show such as he is competent and ambitious to produce. Dahuey Theater Lottie Gee, Lille Gillam and Effe King featured in a trio singing stunts here last week. They sang very effective songs, and it is reported that Miss Lottie Gee contemplates going into vaudeville next season, and judging from the impression that she will be four weeks' stay in this city at this theatre one is safe in saying that it will be more profitable to her to spend her future on the stage. Jeff De Mount is still on the bill. It seems just like he will not leave this house. He should stop being so funny. He should be more serious and unique act entitled, "Little Sis," four weeks out of ten. He sang "Cupid's I. O. U.", and the knockout song of his performance was "Bound," which received epoches. Foraker Theater. On the bill last week were: Belle Smeadly, a phenomenal female baritone, singing "Stop, Stop, Stop," the Gratt Tribble and Susie Sutton, teaming, singing "Mother's Chile." To say that the bill was a good pop big and was a scream, is superulous. Our course it went big. It was "out there." Payne and Greene are rapidly expanding their Pavilion, July 3, with a seating capacity of 1,000, eight-piece orchestra and several big acts by able performers. This is the only place of amusement of its kind. Minnehaha Theater.

Since the opening last spring he has presented big and gory acts among the audience. Teenagers Teenagers Finley, Whitman Sisters, Henry and Whipner, Karn Brown Cook, Selma Lawrence, Susie Sutton, Bright and Bright Cuban, John Pilgrim Johnson and Golden Gate Trio.

Macon has been in a whirl since the seventeenth day of April, which was the opening day of the Russell-Owens-Brooks Academy and a Grammyease Park. It is a good show, and is drawing large audiences. This week marks the closing of the engagement of the great English and Queen Dora, who have played here four weeks. Their engagement was a great success. They are the the greatest novelty players in the English theater. The English hoop act is a distinct novelty within itself, and is much different from the act of his clever wife, Queen Dora. The other acts are great. We regret to see them, but they open on the Grand Theater, Chattanooga on the 5th. Taylor and Taylor (Joe and Daisy) opened with the stock company on June 12, and scored a win on their vaudeville specialty. On account of Bob Russell's illness of Tayler was in the comedy section along with Blake and she made splendid showing, getting laughs whenever due. Next week Mr. Taylor has promised a novelty act. Macon and Oculmige Park have agreed with everybody in health, but Bob Russel has been on the sick list for over three weeks. Miss Crampton is working this week, singing "That Creole Beau of Mine" to a success. Speedy Smith, Dope Andrews, Billy Reeves, Billy Owens and Marlon Brooks from the Oculmige fresh air treatment. Blanche Thompson, Theresa Broughes, Alice Russell, Tressie Legg, Eileen Pertkins, Queen Dora and Daisy Taylor all are prosperous. They have nothing but words of praise for the Indian Springs water that flows in abundance right in Ocumulge Park. Everybody in Macon is still worrying me to get Bob Russell and his associates to reproduce some of the plays already staged. Some of them are: "The Black Valentine," "Happy Days in Dixie, and The Lady Barber," "In the field, for will do it Messrs. Russell, Owens and Brooks are still busy putting on new plays every week. DOTS FROM GREENVILLE, S. C. Dr. C. H. S. Henderson, of Greenwood, S. C., was the guest of Dr. A. E.
