They refused to obey the rules, and the management has been compelled to dismiss a few of the players and place new men in their places. The Cubs have a strong defense, and they cannot afford to throw away games to inferior teams on account of two or three unruly players. Such actions will cost the Cubs a lot, and it is due the proprietor for his action in dismissing the men from the team.

The streets and buildings of the town are lighted by electricity from the plant of this company, and the expectations of the promoters of this enterprise have not been met. It is a quick to appreciate the need of such an enterprise and have freely given their patronage to the new system of lighting. The success of the plan is now assured, and the company is manufacturing establishment as soon as the arrangements can possibly be made for the machinery.—Topeka Plaindealer. The bills in the Sixty-second Congress concerning the Negro are a curious assortment. Byrd, of Mississippi, has a writing, a writing, a writing, for whites, Negroes and Mongolians to intermarry in the District of Columbia; Clark, of Florida, has a measure providing for "jim crow" street cars in the District of Florida; there is a Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments abrogated, and Roddenburg, of Mississippi, will endeavor to restrict the congressional restaurant to white patrons; there is a bill that the bills become law. They are brought forward merely as proof to the voters at home that their promoters are "sound on the track." By the way, has joined the ranks of Congressmen who have assaulted colored men, a society adorned by Senator Stone, Senator Huffman, Senator Congressman Helfin, who shot a Negro in Washington. The Georgian recently fought a colored passenger in a crowded street car because the man jostled him because he thought necessary—The Crisis. THE HAYTIEN NAVY Somebody Poking Fun at the Little Republic. A report from New York gives a more or less amusing account of an alleged happenings to the navy of our little sister responding to the news of the ship's steamship Allemania arrived in port today from Hayti, where she rescued the army of President Simon and where her officers, crew and passengers witnessed the action of the navy of the island republic. "The navy consisted of a gunboat that had been bought from Italy at a bargain and was sent to the island to assist." "When the Allemania touched at Hayti, President Simon was starting out to inspect the navy and give it a test. The crew had been sent to the island to tug and the first and only engineer was a bartender who had abandoned his calling as a lifesaver to take up the more stirring calling of a sea warrior. The navy disarmed the army, which consisted of about 800 men, some without shoes and all with uniforms and plumes. He had most of the army accompany him aboard the President Simon; but, when he arrived in the island, he followed in the wake of the bargain gunset. "The President Simon put out to sea and travelled to the island of Tahiti. She was jammed in her tin bottom and she fell off the roof." THE FREEMAN.

The yacht which had trailed the army, the president, but left the army to the sharks. "It was here that the Allemanni played her part in the crisis of Hayt's army. The navy, already succumbed. The army, now able to form ranks on landing. It dispersed in all directions to seek shady cafes and there hold many meetings in groups. The officers of the navy, the army, the army and the Haytian army refusing to report for work when the next war or revolution is started.

Pursued by Giant Black Man, Negres Slips Away, Unileaf Slashes Clothing ATLANTA—Atlanta's black "Jack the Ripper" was filled in his attempt to claim the life of a victim, but the terror into which all Negresses, forced to the streets alone, have been thrown by eight consecutive night murders is responsible for 100 deaths in the past 70 years old, a cook employed by illumination firms. Leaving the Selcer residence, she had walked only half a block when she heard a whistle and saw coming toward her a woman in a white coat, tread, who chased her. She turned and ran screaming back to the house just in time to escape death from his long knife, which cut her clothes in several places. She ran up the porch, where Mr. Selcer met her. Running to the alley he found the man, seemingly undisturbed, but although he pointed a revolver at to hold the assassin, commanding him to hold his hands, the Negro turned and disappeared. MOBILE.

THE WORKING WOMAN'S DAUGHTER. Thousands of colored women work at service for a living, and the majority of them stay at their service places at night. Thousands of these women have alone or with relatives or must be left alone or with relatives or must be most cases, the working woman's children look after themselves. Thanks to some good people in some of our large cities that day nurseries are being established, the women are be neglected little ones are being cared for. Those who have not carefully studied the situation do not realize that the daughters of the women who work at sewerage plants that makes almost impossible for them the temptations that they meet on every hand. Take for instance, the daughters of the women who live in lodging or tenement houses. Men and women of all ages are in whatever in the moral development of these girls. Such girls see things and are sent upon errands fraught with danger and temptation. and the women who stay around these places are responsible for the women being led into paths of vice and shame. Such girls are also exposed to the advances of insurance and collecting agents who, though dares seas, seek best opportunity for getting in unprotected homes and spending many hours of the day. Oh, that every mother and father of a child could realize the danger, and keep the installment house collectors and insurance agents away from their homes. Why not protect the daughter by having collectors at the place of service money. Again, these girls must go to and from school. They know that their mothers and sisters should help the vermon "coming home." Thousands of the children into the shelter called "home," swallow some cold or stale food, and out into the street they go to spend the entire afternoon in company with the worst girls boys and the best girls sewing, darning and repairing to be done, and yet, they live in the streets. Often every garment is buttonless and every pair of stockings is full of holes. No one can go astray. In the face of these conditions swainfully colored girls, whose mother must work at service for a living, we wonder why so many go astray, where here else can they? Why? When they do, need they a home, certainly not to reform school, certainly not a home for friendless girls, certainly not a mixed school, and certainly not a school that cannot be home. Since the establishment of the National Training School, we have found that there are a large number of our working women who have daughters between the age of eleven and fifteen, and to the credit of these, we have be said that many of them are now profiting by the experience of other mothers in trying to rear their children while they live away from home, and they are seeking an institution giving itself to the care of their children in the actual moment of girls of this age, families for whom thousands of these colored women work do well to contribute to the maintenance of an institution for girls of this age. We call the ground here, upon which a building, ample for the accommodation of hundreds could be built. There should be a National Home and School for daughters of the working women of the city, a building, ample for the pellet to take many into our present overcrowded buildings, but these small girls demand more attention and greater care in training in every detail, and mothers to save these girls. Just today, a working woman came all the way from Atlanta, Ga., to bring a fourteen year old girl to put her into this school, because she was not a girl. She her, and tears came into her. eyes when we told her that we could not take girls under sixteen years of age. Because we realized that the sending of this girl to school is not a matter of life, we dried the tears of the parent by saying, "we will take her, and do the best we can," but we realize the need for a home-school. We will be able to teach everything that home should teach. Oh, that friends everywhere could get an opportunity of dealing with this problem in a very practical way, and of coming in daily contact with the needs of the great mass of colored people. Let us have on Lincoln Heights a building, dedicated to the colored working women, to be used for the training of girls between the ages of nine and fifteen, and out of this school, they may go into the institution proper, and be taught the rules of the house, and go forth to make a living and to make a life. Save the daughters of the working women. They are worth as much to the race as the daughters whose mothers do not have to work at service PROHUGHS President, National Training, School, Linn- President National Training School, Lincoln, Heights, Washington, D.

Thompson, the well-known Negro national newspaper correspondent has been promoted and appointed to an important position in the office of Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Hon. R. 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. Thompson hails from Indiana and of course is deserving of anything good that comes to him. But beyond the mere fact of residence in the state Thompson has been and is of particular worth owing to his ability for the discharge of his present duties and those to which he has been assigned from time to time. He is none the less in his journalistic ability-it is concededly great. Perhaps Mr. Thompson is not given the credit due him as a newspaper man. He is one by nature, having since a wee, little fellow, been inclined to the field that is despised by no man. To his predilection has been added the result of assiduous culture until today when one sees and knows him in his entire feel to exclaim: "Behold the man!" This is not simply out of an exuberance of feeling, but an honest expression of one who has sent broadcast more news matter than any Negro living or dead. Nor is this all. Mr. Thompson has ever been abreast of the times, sending out information that informed, brilliantly put and not mere space filling stuff. If one wants to know for a certainty what's going on in greater politics as it concerns the race it is advisable to consult Thompson's news budget. If it's there it is generally true.

(By R. W. Thompson.) Folks are easily stamped. Just when all their secrecy needed; conceded. As a universal rule. If you'd meet the situation, Give it your consideration. Show no silly perturbation. Just keep easy, calm and cool. When your hands and arms are waving, When your tongue is loudly raving, When, in short, you are behaving Like a perfect bloomin' fool. Matters never can be mended. Too much effort is expended. Use your wits as they're intended; Just keep easy, calm and cool. Don't be foolishly elated. Don't with pride become inflated. Don't get mad and irritated; All your passions stricty school. Try to hold yourself together. Don't let go and snap your tether, Even in the present weather: Just keep easy, calm and cool. Selfish leadership is sure to fail. The office of miscellaneous critic is a "cinch." Take up the public land and do some pioneering. President Taft's administration is a business equilibrator. King George had to divide the limelight with our own ack Johnson. Trouble is in sight when people have too much time to indulge in gossip. There are colored men who can hold big salaried offices and remain sensible. Jack Johnson allowed Jim Jeffries to enjoy a "safe and sane Fourth" this year. There are people who would rather be held up to ridicule than damned by silence. Busy newspaper men have no time to bandy epithets with boneheads and black-mailers. Yes, the "master key" is skilled hands and industry. It will open all avenues to prosperity. There is reason to believe that Dr. W. T. Vernon is an ardent supporter of the "recall"—from private life. Reciprocity with Canada is to be a fact. Thanks to the statesmanship and engineering ability of President Taft. Antiquated idols, not alive to the new-fangled germ discoveries, are still kissing the babies—and other folks, too. Don't monkey with the fellow "who doesn't want to fight." He is a chunk of Hades when he finally warms up. There is glory enough for us all. Every useful man can get into the spotlight without crowding any other good fellow out. The salary of Registrar J. C. Napier, Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson and Auditor Ralph W. Tyler is approximately $11.00 per an. An individual of assured social standing never inflicts "exclusions." A many of real means brabs about the money he has. Snobs do both. The "emancipation year" edition of the Galveston (Texas) City Times was a highly creditable production. The statistics of the race's progress in its fifty years of freedom have been preserved them in our scrapbook for future reference and study. Brother W. H. Noble and his capable staff have our congratulations. Peonage has received its death blow. The release of the Alabama offenders before the expiration of their time need not worry anyone. They have been punished sufficiently to prevent them from repeating the offenses. The expiration of their privileges. President Taft will go into history as the giant that gave this monstrous evil its knockout drops. An officer of the state who fails to properly protect a prisoner from a mob of lynchers should be summarily "dired." That is the remedy for the cowards who string up or shoot to pieces men intrusted to the care of the guardians of the peace. Accusation of the law's penalties is not a function for the populace. Bear these things in mind. Sylvester Russe, l, the fearless and unsparing, yet judicious critic, gives evidence of a rare quality of nerve in exposing his own faults, and he is not a man who may be neither so wise or generous as he. Like the Irishman at a Donnybrook fair, some critics regard it a bounded duty to hit a head wherever they see one, no matter whose head it may be. Ira T. Bryant will win out at Kansas City by a big margin. In his consolidation plan he offers the church results that no one has ever seen, and he down. The brainy men of the A. M. E. Church know an advantageous business proposition when they see one. They will not allow any mawkish sentimentality to be imposed against the practical welfare of the connection. *** Consolidation of kindred enterprises makes for efficiency and economy. The A. M. E. Church would save money and increase its power to spread the gospel by merging the long school and the Sunday School. Union, with Ira S. Bryant on a single salary as manager of both. Mr. Bryant can be depended upon to manage the church. He has done so in the past. His business-like plan is entitled to a fair trial. He acknowledges with thanks an invitation to attend the wedding ceremony of Mrs. L. Mae Young and Dr. William James Harvey, Jr., which took place at the Green Grove Baptist Church, June 21, at Mound Bayou Miss. Mr. Young for a woman in the office of the secretary of the Masonic Benefit Association of Mississippi; and Dr. Harvey is a prosperous physician of the city of Negro city. We wish for the happy couple long life and continued prosperity. The "Short Flights" man begs to acknowledge with thanks the receipt of elegant photographs from Editor J. H.

Church, at the encral Conference, next May, at Kansas City. He has an endorsement of the "Southwest. No other name will be presented in this section for the bishopric or any other of the larger general offices. Everywhere he is greeted by enthusiastic acclaim. At Norfolk he ran next to the fifth bishop elected, and in the nature of things he will be first in the line up next year. Put "Bishop Conner" down as one of the centralities at Kansas City. KANSAS CITY, MO. (By A. C. Oglesby.) Special to THE FREEMAN. In the midst of life we are in death. The death of Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters removes one of Kansas City's oldest teachers, Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters taught music and around Kansas City years. Mrs. Teeters was born in Leavenworth, Kan., in 1864, being 47 years of age.

For many years she has been mistress of Mrs. Mattie L. Teeters taught music for ten years. Kansas City, eighteen years in Sedalia and three years in Independence. Success was her aim, and she knew no failure. She taught music for ten years of those who loved and respected her every heart was touched with sadness.

Hayti is having trouble again. Well, revolutions are the expected in the volcanic belt. Old man "Jack the Ripper" must be dead by this time. Maybe it is a son that is now operating in Atlanta, Ga. The publicity measure passed by the Senate this week will be of some good in event it becomes a law. It will make men much more careful, if no more honest. "Well, by co-operation the people of Indianapolis got sixty-cent gas. There is no telling what they could do if they started a co-operative ice plant." They could give the manufacturers a mighty good scare. If a man chooses to keep a tiger as a pet, which he is able to control, but which is a source of danger to other people, would he be justified in doing so? I know of a savage monkey which was kept chained by its master, and which, whenever it got loose, was a terror to the whole neighborhood until it could be caught and secured. The Lago Standard, West Coast, Africa. This item gives an idea of what's going on in Africa in her morning of civilization. Well, we early citizens of Indianapolis can remember when pigs were kept right in the back yard. Minister Furniss at Hayti has given further evidence of being onto his job. Scenting trouble on the island, he has promptly notified the government at Washington. Acting on his advice, a warship has been sent to the scene for the protection of American citizens and their interests. Dr. Furniss thoroughly understands the situation and is able to cope with it. This comes from his long experience, together with his happy temperament and qualifications as an individual. The State Department, it is seen, acted wisely in retaining him, at least until there are fairer prospects of continued peace. The well-known Christian Recorder is preparing for a great edition in celebration of the sixtieth year of that journal's existence. R. R. Wright, Jr., the manager, is well known for his scholarship. His statistical reports from time to time have afforded valuable information on race matters and authoritative—proof of his race fealty and zeal. His present work as manager of the Christian Recorder has served to call special attention to that publication. He promises to give the forthcoming sixtieth anniversary edition his best effort, consequently the public may confidently look forward to an excellent expression of journalism. The new "Jack the Ripper" is said to be getting in his work on colored women of Atlanta, Ga., as effectively as the old one who operated in London several years ago. It is said that no less than six women have been victims in as many nights. Each morning was the telltale evidence of the bludgeon's crack followed by the stilleto's incision, ripping out the viscera as if a thing of method. If we remember right, the reason for those atrocious London assaults has never been made known. Doubtless by this time the man and his deeds are wrapped in the security of death. So far the Atlanta fiend has also escaped detection. London has its famous Scotland Yard, its fine detective bureau, yet the murders went on, seemingly faithful to some preconceived plan, carrying it out to the letter. Will this "modern" ripper also consummate his vengeance—if it be vengeance? What's the matter with the Pinkertons, the Burns and the rest of them? Why not ferret out this new seven days' wonder and gather fame and minister justice in the meanwhile? NOT YET. One of our exchanges says that eleven million Negroes can very well support three or four daily race papers. It says the colored people are rich enough. Attention is called to the fact that above a million Negroes subscribe for white daily papers. It is all right to talk about the fair prospects and so forth, but the fact is there are no conditions favorable to a daily newspaper for the race. Several years ago while plodding along in the dark it was thought that a daily paper could make it. Some four or five dallies have been started. Their end was disaster. There was no reasonable hope of success based on sound business principles. The people could have supported them considered as a mere matter of price, but there was no other reason beyond that of race pride for supporting them. They had no mission, nor were they in demand. Notwithstanding the increase in population, in wealth and in knowledge, hopes for the success of dallies do not brighten. Education above anything else has shown up the situation, making it clear that unless there is a downright need there is no chance for continued and permanent success. If it is understood that daily race papers will have to do with general news, it makes a different proposition. It means general newspapers, and not race journals. General newspapers mean general subscribers. This means competition in all respects. Can the Negroes compete with white men in journalism in all respects? It does not stand to reason. Surely the thought can not be to give Negro news exclusively in great daily papers such as has been suggested. Even should that be the case news of sufficient importance to be commercial could not be secured, and simply because our movements in the world are not yet so important as to furnish columns of readable matter daily in the newspapers. Then the advertisers want a show for their money. In the event the patrons were all Negroes, how about their prospects under the circumstances? The publications would not survive very long without advertisers. It's a plain case that there is no hope for daily Negro publications of magnitude until the race is thoroughly established in every business. This means a variety of interests to be served, creating a general demand owing to the interests served. While this is a phase of the business it stands for the better prospects of the newspaper. Then, again, the subscribers cannot be general, as is suggested; locality interests could only be cared for. Only a few cities, those that have thousands of the race, and with the other conditions named, will have any chance whatever to see a successful daily. This means that a good quarter of a century of time must elapse at least before there will be a realization of the Negro daily newspaper essentials. CONVENTION OF TEACHERS IN COLORED SCHOOLS. The convention of colored school teachers at St. Louis, Mo., July 26-30 promises to be worthy of the attention it has won, and worthy of the attendance of the very many teachers who have consented to be present. According to the well-arranged program this, the eighth annual session, will be of great importance to the thousands of colored school workers throughout the country. Everything has been done by the committee of affairs to make the convention what it should be. Capable men and women, whose lives are in a way consecrated to the work, have been selected to appear before the body of educators. These have had training in the best schools of the land and are as well prepared to advance thought and ideas as those of Anglo-Saxon extraction. Any other conclusion would prove a disastrous theory, declaring for the non-susceptibility of Negro extraction. The wisdom of such conventions is past questioning. Race men and women are brought together as others are brought together, for the exchange of ideas; yea, for the reception of new ideas, learned out of the fullness of another one's experience. Environment and experience are different. The horizons are only the same when two or more stand on the same pedestal—quite an impossible thing. It means a variety of views, and in the exchange of which makes for liberalism of education. In the past too little thought has been given to conventions. Every fellow thought himself a talker, a knower. None was so poor as to listen. This was the reign of conceitism, but which, happily, has been dissolved by the invasion of intelligence. It took the schooled men and women to see the full force of the aphorism that "a little learning is a dangerous thing." Education has done the work, establishing the fact that the more one knows the more he discovers that he does not know. Education humbles, making one ashaimed to think he knows in the face of the wisdom of the world. One has only to read a good, intellectual work to note the many citations, foot notes, addendum, et cet., that call attention to the great men and women whose names are utter strangers. This is but one test of the limitations. Others are numerous, as all students know. We offer this merely in support of the contention that conceit has not much place in the makeup of the educated individual. We mean also that any new idea offered and accepted is just so much added to the treasure house. Finally it all stands for these great educational movements that have in mind the dissemination of knowledge which in the end finds lodgment with the generations and for their good. WHITE PEOPLE GIVE NEGROES A CHANCE. Macon county, Alamaba, is that county where Tuskegee Institute is located, where good eight months rural public schools are carried on in nearly every school district, where the Tuskegee people believe in giving the Negroes a square deal in material, educational and religious matters. Lots of Negro farmers have recently moved into this county and every one is satisfied. There is no reason why an industrious farmer should fail to do well in this section. Lands are gradually advancing in price, but it is yet cheaper than can be bought in any other section of the South. For further particulars write Clinton J.

Impressive Services at Quinn Chapel— Chicago Elks and the Actors Order of William Goats Turn Out in His Honor—Gorgens Funeral One Mile Long— Body Lald to Rest at His Home in Iowa. (By Sylvester Russel). On Thursday, July 13th, prior to the services over the late Robert Thomas Motts, owner of the Pekin theater of Chicago, the first colored theater in America, the Lincoln Theater in Lindsay; his brother, Fred Motts; his nephews, Ralph, Thomas F., Robert and Leon; his nieces, Nora and Helen Motts, and Mrs. Henry Jones, wife of his closest friend, William B. Motts, two wagon loads of flowers, left the house at 1 p. m., following the corpse from his late residence, 4110 Calumet avenue, west to State street, where they were joined by the members of the Rest, State and Thirty-fifth streets. The Great Lake Lodge of Elks, to which he belonged, then had the body in charge and the right of way. The Elks and Musicians were followed by the members who were followed by the Goats' band and its actor members. The services were held at the Quinn Chapel A. M. E. church at 2 p. m., the Rev. Thomas, who was out of the city, preached, assisted by Dr. D. P. Roberts. Rev. E. J. Callis, of Walter's A. M. Zion church, offered prayer. Prof. Morris presided at the organ, and the Byron's orchestra augmented the music. The so-loists were Madam Anita Patti Brown, who rendered "Life's Recompense." Miss Alah Banks, of the Pekin Stock Company, sang a very appropriate number. Madam Marie Burton sang "Flee As a Bird," and Mr. Creighton Thompson sang "Dear Lord, Remember Me." "Lead, Kindly Light" was the opening selection of the choir. The performance over the body by the Elks was very impressive and the oration by Louis B. Anderson was most effective. One tribune was as follows: "A spirit looking backward sighed: How strange that now you see no flaw. In one whose faults alone you saw, Before he died." Resolutions from the Goats were read by J. Louis Johnson. After the menure by J. Louis Johnson. After the menure had view the church, nearly 5,000 people had view the church, up to 6 o'clock Dr. Cook, who was a lawyer to Mr. Motts, preached excellently the living and Dr. Roberts, who read a lesson from the theme, "God shall wipe away all the sins that did wrongs and made a fine example of that part of life. During the time the Doctor was watching the sky had been shadowed by wispy clouds, densely a brilliant light on sunlit up it by as if by elephant trichly. I thought of the doctor. Motts countenance seemed to be smiling and was now sure that he was at rest and was now sure that he was at rest and was now sure that he was at rest and each one touched the heart that was not of stone, for there was something pathetic about the life of this unhappy man that can never be expressed. There was no mortal of Robert T. Motts, a handsome covered black casket where pillows of flowers smiled upon him. Weeping Roses Hovered Near. On his casket lay a large bunch of brown roses, but from the stem; they were from his moonmen friends, Mr. and Mrs. Henry. (Tenan Jones, and in seemed as though Mr. Motto could not them and inhale the sweet scent of their own. Goss zest of roses from the Appomattox Club, to which he be longed, lingered near. The man of New York City, to which he belongs of the same wreath, and also the Goats gave a new name, and the roses and carnations stood on a pedestal, the light, inscribed C. B. A., from the Highly members of the Colored Vandeville Bye evolent Association of New York, Billy Sylvester Russell, Bert Murphy, M. Davis Bruce, Sandford McKissick Harry dler, Wilbur C. Sweatman, Ruby Shelting and Billy McCarver. A large lyre of pink and blue is the gift of Billy and Louis Kersands. The Griffiners gave a broken wreath.

C. and Mr. and Mrs. George Holt also gave of a rush when there was considerable a rush when the large crowd inside started to view the remains. Dr. Cook had forewarned the people and Dan Jackson, the undertaker of a cable assurance of being master of the situation. Funeral Like General Grants The hearse which was all black, was drawn by four black horses, which were covered with black drapery coats, typical of General Ulysses S. Grant's funeral in New York, when he was borne to the Grant monument tomb, his last resting place at Riverside park. Telescopic of view sentiment, Undertaker Jackson sought out a luminous means of giving his time honored friends, Robert T. Motts, an historic burial. This he had done knowing that the roadway in life is never clear but that the pathway which leads into the valley and the shadow of death is peaceful. The honorary pall-bearers were Henry Jones, Hon. Edward Green, Baurel-gard F. Moseley, George Holt, John Fry, Dr. Daniel Williams, Jesse A. Binga, William Emanuel, John Slaughter, Milwaukee Art Cadoza, James Brewington, Jr. W. C.

Rev. Banks conducted the services. Soldiers and citizens turned out en mass, and finally at the close of the day the body was lowered in a grave in the hillside beside his mother and the conspicuous presence of Robert T. Motts was shut out from the THE CROWN GARDEN THEATER INDIANAPOLIS. The Crown Garden presents an attractive bill this week. The audience likes everything that is done. It was a little surprising to see it take on over Irene Board, the most virtuous, Miss Sneeley, a good cornuteth-nothing but bang-up music—and it went all right.

Miller and Lyles drew the largest summer houses of the season at the Grand Monday night. "They gave their well-known nighttime theater," said Ignorance, which was as fresh as if new actors, rots of laughter, both in the dialogue and their burlesque boxing. Other acts which were white, included the Ziegler Trio of coman ring artists, the best Ive ever seen, and the best good Hebrew burlesque artists. Al Sharifa a marvelous falsetto but his barton voice is excellent. He is also a fine artist and actor. Ed Russell and company did well in a dramatic sketch, and the Royal Japanese Empire, gave not only the Mikado's Empire, gave not only the performance but the finest dressed act of the kind ever seen in vaudievel. ungle Specialties at the Monogram— Madam Fairfax Sings Sweet After the legitimate specialist, Modam Fairfax, had a bad place on the bill and little Harry Stafford, the boy singer, dancer and comedian, it was just a little bit of a surprise. Monday evening at the Monogram, Ora Criswell sang and danced under reflected lights and the Hullmans entertained in a jungle manner at most times and danced well. The Griffin Sisters, who were held over from last week, appeared to a better advantage than the other girls. Jungle scene which we have not seen in some time, gave considerable pleasure. Mr. and Mrs. Billy Kersands drew the theme of the show, which was the ending of their two weeks engagement. So great has been the popularity of Billy win his great name, which he could easily run for a month in his old time repertoire of original specialties.

THE GARDEN THEATER, LOUISVILLE, KY The Garden Theater, week of July 17, opened its doors to another record-breaking attendance, fully 2,000 patrons gathering Monday night to see the largest and best vaudeville bill they ever had a chance to witness. There were six acts on the bill, and every act was a top-notcher. So there was no time for any of them to The bill opened with Miss Lillian Brown, who was held over from last week on account of her popularity with the patrons of the theater, and played the city before. She was heartily received when she made her appearance, and her opening song was a very nice character production by the company, which was a very good number, and was well received. Her second song, "Mr. Morgan," although being an old one, was favorably received by the audience. Mr. Will C. Washington, the character singing and dancing comedian, was a patron to the Louisville Mississippi Dip," was very well liked by the audience. This was followed by a conversation of funny sayings, which were the first to be followed by the song, "Way Down in Georgia," which was good. His closing song, "Under the Southern Moonlight," was a very pretty number, and left a great impression on Then came Brown and Delk, those real clever character, singing and dancing artists, and their opening number, "I Don't Believe You," was a decided hit; and one could see from this that this song was written with the Louisville audiences. Their second song, "Oklahoma Twirl," was sang by Miss Rio Delk and was a decided hit; and this song was audience screamed. They would not let Miss Delk go until she had repeated it time and time again. Then the Porto Rican dance, which was executed by Miss Rosa Brown, THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and was the knockout of their act. She was competed to take several encores. They closed with a buck dance, and it seemed as if the audience could not get inside. But without doubt Rosa Brown is the best female dancer ever seen in this city. The next to come was Miss Mattle Whitman, who opened with a male impersonation act that was the best seen in the day, Louise Laundry, and it was simply a scream. Her second song, "The Dying Rag," was well received. Laura Smith opened with "Put Your Arms Around Me, Honey" and she was a scream. Her second song, "That Totalole Tune," was a knockout. Her closing song, "Casey Jones," sang in her way, left the audience screaming. Miss Rose is, without doubt, a great con shouter. The closing act, The Arntes (Grace and Billy), known as the "Royal Entertainers, had a very hard bill to come behind, their own in every respect. Their opening act was well received. Miss Grace Arnse song "The Monkey Rag" and "The Oklahoma Twirl," and received a nice ovation. This was followed by "Old Folks at Home." They did a cute dance on this song and a very nice number. They closed with a very funny star bill that was well received and enjoyed by the Garden Theater patrons. IN MEMORIAM ROBT. T. MOTTS. Since our Creator has summoned the deceased, Robert T. Motts, to another world, and to another work, be he hereby invited to be with the esteemed Goats, extend to the family and friends of the deceased our deepest sympathy, and our appreciation for the usefulness of the life we have created dreamed, planned and completed, his life book is full; and we, the theatrical profession, give us place with our greatest race benefactor, IRVIN C. MILLER, OLLIE REESE, CHARLES SMALLS, CINCINNATI THEATERS. The Magnolia — the Pekin — the Gaither. The Magnolia theater on Central, between Fourth and Fifth avenue, opened Monday night in a blaze of glory. The old has been the main hands many times during the last twenty years, and time has it been opened under new management, but never in the history of the old Central avenue structure has anyone been able to paint it. The year the managers would announce by the daily press, just previous to the opening, that the house had undergone a complete renovation, painting and dusting the patrons would see nothing new. When Mr. Hart, the present owner, secured possession, he gave it out to the public, called daplp press and other papers that he would send to the bottom, put in a colored manager and cater as near as possible to colored patrons. The contract was let at once for about $25,000, and the general overhauling was made from celar to garret. Mr. W. H. Smith, the veteran manager, was engaged to come over from the office, and the comedy, was engaged by Mr. Smith to write a script, some good talent to produce the opening production. Mr. Frank Montgomery, the well-known colored comedian, was enlisted to write the script, and they started on a search for good talent. The opening Monday night demonstrates what time, money and a little hard work will do in the way of opening a theater and giving the people a run for their tickets. The audience, Mr. Hart's intentions were, there was some opposition from some of the leading colored people of this city, they felt that the move was simply to drive the two smaller theaters out of existence, but the opposition seemed to subside toward the end of the evening, one full house was waiting on the outside. Nothing is reserved but the boxes, and they all had been taken a week ahead. Many beautiful floral pieces greeted the patrons on their arrival, among them were a large horseshoe presented to The Pekin. Those who thought that the opening of the Magnolia would drive the Pekin and Galfer to close their doors were badly injured. The Magnolia would drive the Pekin remained very optimistic, and was not in the least perturbed. He answered all inquiries the same, when asked what he thought would be the result. The Pekin had to be careful not to talk about all the people he could possibly handle, and they were very well satisfied because he has a very strong vaudeville background.

O God! hear our cry—we are sore oppressed! A pennance we'd do—aye, without measure. Perhaps 'twas Thy teachings we didst forget. Tell us, dear God—we would pay the debt, Tell us, O pray! We would fain be free! Tell us the price of our liberty. L If Pain be the Price: We've suffered the sook We have labored unfed, both night and morn, Known the pain of a broken heart; Seen many first-born from their bosoms torn; And sold at the slave trader's mart. Oh! that wall of anguish we can ne'er Tell us, dear God, have we paid the debt? II. If Shame be the Price: We've bowed at the call Of Slavery's cruel demand; Yes, we've drunk it all, the wormwood and gall. And gripped 'neath an oppressor's hand; We have felt the sting of a white man's scorn. Our heads we have sprinkled with dust While we've women have wone—Had we ne'er been born! To satain a white man's lust. Oh! that wall of despair we can ne'er forget! Tell us, dear God, have we paid the debt? III. If Blood be the Price: We've bled from the jash Of the driver's heavy stroke, From the riflee's flash and the cannon's crash, In the battle's blinding smoke. Yes, we quaked with fear, for assassin's hands. Have made our blood run more, While Ku-Klux Klans and lawless bands Have waded in our gore. Oh! I the wall of the dying we can ne'er forget! Tell us, dear God, have we paid the debt? If Pain be the Price of Liberty, If Shame be the Price of Liberty, If Blood be the Price of Liberty, Lord God, we have paid in full!

Mr. Benbow introduced another high-class act entitled, "Spoony Sam," and made an instantaneous hit. He also introduced the act. Each one looks like a headliner. The act of Mr. Benbow as Spoony Sam was real pleasing. He is decidedly the best "straight man" that has appeared at the concert. Among the clever songs that were introduced during this act, the following ones were big hits: "Tell Her No," by Mose Graham, was a scream. Mr. Graham is not only a good comedian but also a great ask. "All That He Is Love," by Rebecca Kinzey, the "Black Swan," was real good. "In the Land of Harmony," by Edna Land Benbow is a comedy. Mrs. Benbow is what she is advertised to be, the little lady with the big voice. The singing of "Sugar Moon" by the quartet was pleasing. Mr. Benbow has one of the best acts of its kind on the road.

At night, under the brilliant glare of electric lights in the stadium, under the citadel of 4,000 people, the Flamant Club performed evolutions and was highly applauded.

ROYAL GIANTS WIN SERIES FROM LELAND GIANTS The Leland Giants of Chicago opened a series of three games at Kansas City, Mo., with the Kansas City Royals, Saturday, at Shelly Park. Boone was in great form for the Royals, and deserved a shutout. Chinn Norman, of the Kansas City, Kans., Giants, pitched for the Lelands, and because of his crushing defeat is willing to play with his own team after this. Boone let the Lelands down with three hits, and had them shut out until the eighth inning. Final score, 6 to 3, in favor of the Royals. Sunday the Lelands came back and won by a batting rally in the ninth inning. "Badeye" and Green worked for the Royals, and "Redhorse" Goodgame and Webster were the batteries for the Lelands. Score, 4 to 3. Monday the Royals won hands down by a score of 7 to 3. THE DEAD LINE. The Early Thirties the Limit—Exceptions Now and Then. After all, it appears that those who ordained things at the beginning knew pretty well what they were doing. We are at times amazed by how much success they have achieved in cleaning up such great amounts of money in a very short space of time. The good ones often make as much money in a single set-to as the wisest man makes in a single set, and that the gods of the distribution of favors are a biased set. But careful reflection will show that the thing is all right, even according to the judgment of man, and that the production, because they have so short a time to make it in, the man of letters plods his "wery" way, but when he reaches the end of his life he sometimes ninety, he is still plodding his "wery" way, in spite of Dr. Osler and his theory on the age of man's usefulness. The fighting man seemingly is scarcely included in the three-score years and ten proposition, by reason of his strength, but that he must take the job is no longer fitted for his occupation. His bread and butter chances are greatly reduced, and in consequence some of the men in the company are absolute want. The man of letters is freed of those "artificial" fils incident to the fighting game. He goes right on to the last a breadwinner, spending his money in themate way, as it comes to him moderately. The fighting man is so enveloped that he must spend freely. He belongs to the man of money, and he must minute. The fighters are free-hearted, particularly noted for their generosity to their own kind; they give their money away in bandages. "Keep the change" is said to give delight. Speaking of the age limit, there have been exceptions. Take Fitzsimmons. He began his fighting career where most fighters leave off. And, to change the subject for a bit, why is it that Fitzsimmons is so good to be a matter of John Suleman was disloyed as a matter of Jodi. He went down amid regrets because we hate to see our idols perish. But the people seemed to have loved the Australian; wanted him to win because he was so loved. Even until today the names of the fighters, Fitzsimmons's really-made son, are not to be seen to see him and hear him one does not think less of Fitzsimmons, notwithstanding his tragic speech on the Johnson-Jeffries fight. He would have had Jeffries's life he tried to have him win; tried to think he now fighting ability onto that of Jeffries who has now been no long in the life of the white hope. But Bob is a white man, and for being so he is not to be unduly stripped of his prejudices. The Australian of the spindle-like legs is also really built, as most of the great fighters are. It has been recently piloted up muscle in the right place, and its physical beauty in the way of regular contour, but in the interest of the pile-driving "inflation." He began his career when he was one year old. Yet Jeffries at thrissix, he considered all played out. John, at third-in, has present age, is his tenth and in the nature of things most decline.

A writer in the Illustrated Record, speaking of "Fitz was the Mme. Bernhardt of fightdom. Age did not leave any defects upon him, and he was fighting great battles, other men were past the meridian of the age, and he wielded "kangaroo" established a goal that fighters present day will never be able to touch. There are few old glove rammers in the world, and rusty arms of antiquity have evidently been the proper place—the junk man's back yard. Youth is king, and a man's proficiency is not gauged by his years, because all of them are the god of fistcuffs are pretty equally. This same writer, descancing on the age limit, says: "In the hit-and-getaway game of to-day a man past thirty is rated higher than a man past fifty powers. He is looked upon in ring circles as an octogenarian. Such a man has not a chance of ever ascending to a title, although one does hold one now—Jack Johnson is an exception. Only five fighters who are in the ring are by sticking gloves into an opponent's features are over thirty. They are Jack Johnson, Cyclone Johnny Thompson, Mike Bickle (Jack), Sullivan and Jim Flym. Only two are thirty—Jem Driscoll and Rudolph Unhloz. Of those past the acknowledged period of decadence, Cyclone Johnny Thompson is the most successful of the training quarters of the Cyclone the thirty-five years ago. Thompson is the oldest fighter of the present time. However, he must start as early as some of his competitors had been in active conflict only nine years ago. "Queer angle connected with the Cyclone's history. A lightweight and welterspaning light heavyweight, he registered 161 pounds. Next to Thompson is the champion. Johnson.

BILL WARNING TO OWNERS AND MANAGERS OF BALL TEAMS. Stay away from Kansas City, Kans. The management of the Kansas City, Kans., Giants is the most unreliable set I have ever run across in my baseball career. I had a contract to come to Kansas City, Kans., and play a series of games on the 8th, 9th, 10th of the season with a guarantee of $200. I took my team to Kansas City, Kans., and played the series, as agreed upon, but when it came to the settlement Mr. Felix Payne and Dennis refused to pay the $200 as per contract. Now, these kind of would-be baseball magnates are killing the game and making it hard for traveling teams. I understand that the Giants held up kid Mitchell, manager of the Keystones, for his guarantee, also Frank Leland for $250. Managers and owners, take warning from me. Stay away from the Giants, and I want to be robbed. My loss will be your gain, if you take this warning. MEMPHIS GIANTS, Memphis, Tenn., W. S. HUNT, Owner and Mgr Immense' Crowd Sees the Louisville Tigers Go Down. Indianapolis Ind The game last Sunday between the A. B. C.'s, of Indianapolis, and the Louisville Tigers was hotly contested, and gave the utmost satisfaction. The fellows on either team played big league ball from start to end, and the passing of a too-bot grounder or so, the game was perfectly played, every man grabbing every ball in his territory. The batteries of both teams were exceptionally strong, the battery appeared somewhat fiercer. Faust, as they called him, pitched a terrifying ball, but somehow the Indianapolis boys managed to make the runs. In the game in its female pitcher in the second game, the first game being far too hot to trust the feminine gender. The lady pitched one inning, and did some pretty good ball tossing. She was milder in her work, according to her nature. She was a bit more aggressive, only time it occurred during the two games. In spite of this fact nobody scored. The crowd voted her a jolly good fellow, and permitted her to retire after the game. An unexpected feature of the game was the bull episode. King William, the bull wrestler, had his bovine in one corner of the field and had to give goo to Velenos appearing, but he was a bull; it was a-plenty. At times the animal fretten, presumably because he saw something red, or maybe it was the crowd that excited him. A few minutes later he up the game more than once. One time he made a charge and brought in the field just as promptly as if there had been three out, only very much faster. The damage to the game was to him in the corner with a broom, but the round clearly belonged to the bull. The ladies were out galore, and seemingly understood the fine points of the game. They applauded in the field, and some in support of their judgment as to which team would win. This city being largely made of Kentuckians, there was but little distinction as to the favorite team. The game was a good show, and were welcomed with the good old Kentucky hospitality. Scores, 13 to 4 and 6 to 4. Danville Unions next W. L. YOUNG LOWERY ACCEPTS KID WHITE'S CHALLENGE. I noticed where Kid White desires to meet some colored boxer in Indianapolis during the K. of P. convention in August. I will accept his challenge at any reasonable terms, before any colored boxer is knocked out Kid Wilson, at Wahpeton, N.D, on July 4, in seven rounds of a scheduled twelve-round bout. At no time during the ght did he have a look in. I simply played with him to give the spectators am for their money. I would not be knocked out. I would repeat the work of our champion, Jack Johnson, a THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER year ago. Out of four fights, I won two by the K. O. route, one decision and one draw. Yours very truly, YOUNG LOWERY. Care Ben Riley, 122 E. Third St., St. Paul, Minn. SAM M'VEY WILLING TO MEET CHAMPION JACK. Paris, France, July 3, 1911. Editor Freeman: Sam McVey, who has challenged Jack Johnson for his title, has authorized Billy McClain to go ahead and clinch a match with the champion. Such a match would create a world-wide sensation. The champion would be given the go-ahead, so he would hardest fight of his career. He was only nineteen years old at the time, and had had but little experience. A battle between these two dusky warriors would go down in the annals of history as being the honors you ever decided for championship honors when you were colored. Thanking you in anticipation. A.

Rod McMahon's Lincoln Giants won a hotly contested game at Olympic Field Sunday, when they defeated the Philadelphia Professionals in ten innings by the score of 12 to 7. In the twelfth, the Giants ended the game by tallying twice on two singles and a two-base hit. It was a great pitchers' battle between Reddick of the Giants and the Philadelphia team, and Schellenberg of the Pros. Reddick fanned fifteen players and held his opponents for nine safeties. After the Philadelphia team had scored one in the ninth, the Lincoln Giants sighed and went to second on a sacrifice out. Lloyd tied the score by doubling to right and a minute later tallied the winning run on Wright's single. In the first game the Lincoln Giants won by a Yankers team by the score of 12 to 2.

Francis seems to be at his best at third this season and it seems as though he could regain anyone in that position. He still follows the Glants everywhere they play. LOUISVILLE, KY. Louisville Cubs Go Down Before Louisville Tigers. The Louisville Cubs went down in defeat at the hands of the Louisville Tigers by the score of 4 to 2, before a large crowd at Springs Bank park.

In writing from Sydney, Australia, a spectator of the Lang-Lester fight saves: the one like Lang-Lester right says: "Lang-Lester the first man of any note Lester was sent again to the sixth round, failed, be disqualified in the sixth round for going down without being struck." To be disqualified for such a breach of the rules would lead boxing enthusiasts who were not present at the fight to believe that after showed the yellow streak, but he did not. It was his ignorance of the rules that brought about a disbelief of the sixth. Lang had landed a stinging blow to the body, and Lester went after him like a wild man. He swung a right with terrific force, which Lang took on his bony ribow Lester's arm immediately dropped to his side. Long had close proximity the men declared almost unisly. He broken his arm. It flopped about limply at his side, and it was fully fifteen seconds before Lang knew what to do. He then made after Lester, and the American, seeing him coming, and suffering excruciating刀伤. He was soوېروهېږونه او تېرېږي او تېرېږي او هېڅکله به دين يې ورکړي او په دين يې ورکړي او په دين يې ورکړي او په دين يې ورکړي او په دين يې ورکړي. It appears that Lester's arm was temporarily paralyzed by the contact with the elbow of the hand. Long had been a mailed him immediately after the men left the ring declared that the American must have suffered great pain. The most peculiar thing about the mishap to Lester was that thirty seconds after the blow was delivered his arm was all right again and he could not be minued. It was far far away from the commonly known as the "hunter borm" "The American was broken hearted at the turn of events, and roamed aimlessly to Lang's corner. "Will you be approached to test?" he asked the Australian. "Yes, I will," replied Lang, and it looked as if hostess Dun. The old-time middleweight, in Lang's corner, took a hand. "Come on, Bill, get out of the ring; here your coat, you've once; how many more times do you win once; how many times did And Lang retired to his training quarters. "The sixth was only in progress a few seconds; the latter was disqualified, as has been mentioned." "The big crowd present—15,000—was very much disappointed. Many hooted under the impression that Lester had quit, but the counter whether from those who recognized that Lester had injured his arm drowned a�ots of the hoodlums. Lester displayed too much gameness in the first five rounds for any same person to entertain the idea that he was so good as to feel from the men and saw the whole happening. Lester undoubtedly suffered great pain, with his arm temporarily paralyzed. " On his showing in this fight Lester is in a world beater. He would be written in a round of Jackson and Burns. He has, as yet, no idea of defense. He has yet to learn to box, and it is surprising that Burns allowed him to go up against a boxer of Lang's caliber so early in his career, he has made it a development goal which has been put in a few years and gain much more experience before he can be placed in the first class division. He is only a youth, however—he celebrated his twentieth birthday a few weeks ago—and with careful handling may present all that can be a good job. I am present all that he is to say, can stand a lot of punishment and has the punch to knock out a Hercules. But he has to learn how to deliver his punches. His timing is very bad. He is in a way now with probably the making of a fighter in him. But he was never beat 'Jack' Johnson. "Lester made efforts to get Lang into the ring for a return battle, but the Australian stipulated $2,000, win, lose or draw, and the Stadium people also wanted 40 per cent of the gross takings to run the fight, Less than not agree, and the matter has dropped." KNEW JOHNSON'S RACE Steamship Officials Informed Concerning Identity of Heavyweight Champion Going to Coronation. To the editor of the Evening World, New York: Bearing up to your article of Juns 6, regarding the sail of Mr. Jack Johnson, wherein you state that Mr. Johnson was booked on the Kronprinz Wilhelm without the company knowing that he was a Neapolitan, and that the document was entirely erroneous. I arranged Mr. Johnson's transportation at least four weeks before sailing time, and at that time specially informed the officials of the Norwegian man, and that he was bourned man, and they raised no objection whatever to having him sail on their steamer.
