THE FREEMAN A NATIONAL ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER PROMINENT LAWYER AND LEADER OF RACE Over Removal of Some Personal Property—Impressive Funeral Services Held by Odd Fellows and Masonic Lodges. 1066 West Chestnut Street, Home Phone, 8007-L. Abert S. White, the race leader, the death of the citizen and the man is dead. This solemn bit of news was flashed all over the United States by the Associated Press. He died Friday morning, the same day having been shot in the abdomen and left side by Louis A. Evans, one of the proprietors of the Garden theater. The shooting occurred in the theater, the picture theater, located at Thirtenth and Walnut streets, where White and Evans had a dispute over the removal of some personal property from the theater. The theater regained consciousness. After being shot he was assisted to the office of Dr. Gillard, where he inquired whether or not the wound was serious. He asked to make a statement, also requested that several letters that were in his pocket be mailed. Evans claims that he fired the gun himself and the right chief. Friends of White claim that so revolver was found. This question will have to be threedrawn out in the courts. Bernice H. Young has been employed by the other side and have not been announced. Abert S. White was born in Kentucky and was 43 years old when he toad bad water in a flooded basin and delegate it large to several republican national organizations. He had been recently memorialized by the late President Tat's administration he was appointed store-keeper-gauger. As dean of the Central Law School and president of the style and improvement League he was a key figure in the On the last Sunday afternoon the funeral oration of Albert S. White left the under-A. Smith's house, the last of the great cars, the slow and mournful click of the horses' hoofs upon the asphalt pavement, all was silence. With bared heads and t면al eyes, the dense throngs that served with restless eagerness the progress of the funeral procession. When the pro-church had reached the Fifth Street gathered, a mass of people had already capped was the beautiful solid oak state of the new, ivory head was bowed and very face evidenced the great personal fly which had come upon the community. Slowly the pall bearers following the honorary pall bearers passed down beyond the power of the church. Heartrending in scenes inside the church were great as it awakened by the soft trend of the old church. The services were so impressive that the people remained silent, with making tugging at their throats and lied. While so impossible. Many eyes were set on the faces of everyone, but they were shed softness in their face and tears. They had known the ways of friends, and the services proceeded there. But not many audible sounds of grief. Written plainly and tears stole down the last of the faces who had known Albert S. White. Intimately. incorporate songs were sung, Rev. H. Hank read the scripture, which impersonate by a most pathetic and impersonate prayer by Rev. W. T. Amigler, president of the State University, the school from which Albert S. White graduated. Rev. C. H. Parrish read the obituary. Resolutions from Gray, representing the state keeper. ers-gaugers; by W. H. Perry, representing the Masonic Unity lodges; by Attorney W. L.

Ricks, on behalf of the Business League, representing the Business League, representing the United Order Brown, on behalf of the Eckstein Norton Institute Alumni Association; Frederick Johnson, representing the United Order Brown, representing the United Clarence Brown, representing the United C. Lodges of Odd Fellows. The Masonic rites were conducted by Grand Chancellor John W. W. H. Perry, who was the only lady who said that she was a white lady, who said that she was a black lady, who said that she would sing at his funeral, granted the request by sing-ing. The same day, the New Yorker, the funeral oration was held on the 1st of the year. The Rev. John H. Frank, his sermon was short, but very impressive. He mentioned how that only a short time ago the honorary minister of the church was invited by the Baptist ministers to address the熔炉. He said, "The Lawyer and the Church." He said that in a most eloquent way, Albert S. White presented his subject. He men-¬ tured the last day of his life at church and only last Sunday he was at church. He was the only Rev. W. H. Perry, the terested in the sermon and that at the close of the services he assisted in lifting the collection. Rev. Frank paid a tribute to the good-will of the church, and he sent into the hearts of all session-sees, all of the who-¬ tled, to fall from many eyes. The following distinguished gentlemen acted as honorary pall¬ bears: W. H. Ballard, Lexington, and John W. H. Perry, who was the only Rev. Chenault, Lexington, Kv.; C. H. Parrish, F. S. Delaney, W. H. Brown, W. T. Amig-¬ rer, Chas. Taylor, W. T. Merchant, Henry J. Harris and Henry Humes, all of the who-¬ tled, who were uttered by his de¬ mourning sobs and uttered as a marke-duced by the well-known undertaking establishment of Alonzo B. McAfee. The extremity of pathos was reached when mourning sobs were uttered by his de¬ mourning sobs and uttered by his de¬ mourning sobs. The whole was more than a soliloquy, and the last glance at Albert S. White, there were traces of tears in every face. The body was borne silently out of the church and was a little soothed by the sound of the call. All along the route people had gathered to witness the last procession of the dead hero. It seemed as if all Louisville was in deep mourning, white and black. The re¬ sidence of the mass was so deep as to seem as if the service to aid in finding out the real truth of the affair. On the cars and all along the streets the sad affair is being discussed. No one was heard to utter an word, every one paid the highest tributes. Albert S. White is no more. He has been called to his last home. His labors on earth are close. His labors will no longer be buried beneath the sod. But may we all meet him again in that better land, on that "great day for which all other days were made, for which earth sprang from man from earth, and od from eternity." The solemn services at the grave were conducted by the Friars, R. H. Prentish, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, pronounced the benediction. We promised in these columns this week to give the Kentucky Pythians a special write up, but owing to the fact that so much of our space has been given to the lamented Albert S. White, we will keep our word in the next issue. A large number of strangers and distinguished men and women are in the cemetery of K. P. Prentish, K. Ky. and Chancellor H. F.

THE FREEMAN : Gentlemen—For more than five years I have read your paper and must say I have watched it grow to full manhood. I now take the greatest of pleasure of encountering many good things we get through its columns. We, as a whole people of the above named city, do wish you success and prosperity on and on. It is to be hoped that many other colored papers will grow to be strong and efficient as yours. I am always anxious to see The Freeman as soon as it arrives as it carries its weight. I note in your last issue the advice of Mr. McCulkin. It is to be hoped that the advice some good. I join Mr. Chappelle in saying that there is money to be made in the South. There is no colored show that ever came South that was not well patronized. The South is not well patronized. Get your price just as you choose to fix it. The South has thousands of deep readers who would be pleased to see some of the leading people such as Mr. McCulkin. The show-going, show- loving people are beginning to think that the shows that come this way are fleecing the people. The South is tiring of the Negro business. We have seen and heard a plenty. We have seen and heard a plenty. We are the ministrels, they are losing every year. It all is for the lack of something new. With the exception of the Smart Set company, headed by Mr. McClain and Cole Johnson, we have had no good shows here. I want to ask right here, are there any more Tom McIntosh's. Such comedians as she and I want to like we see, published and up-to-date. I recall your attention to an incident that happened here last season when the Black Patti company came to fill their roles. We were neighboring towns came eighty-two miles for just one part of the show, and to my surprise they were the most disappointed set o f young women I ever saw. The set was so dark and the work of her grand opera work that night, and that was what we had all expected to hear. Our Smart Set company is a good one, but the work of its leading comedians is old. (Samuel French, of New York City), that say work is nearly seventy years old. We would like to see a good colored drama, something these Southern whites think it is impossible for a colored man to learn. I am sorry McClain has made up his mind, never come below the Mason and Dixon lines. There are shows on the road that the cast is no doubt good, but they lack in the leading man and management. Treatment in the South is bad, but not like it was seven to nine years ago. Everything has changed. The cast could transport a show from coast to coast without the least trouble. I think if he would only try once, he would have been better. Treatment and as Mr. Chapelle said his show netted him $12,000 in six months, he McClain could do the same. With success to both gentlemen, I am yours truly, Dan. LOS ANGELES, CAL.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER SHORT FLIGHTS. BY R W THOMPSON Notwithstanding the torridity of the weather, the Boston Guardian is wielding the hammer with unabated vigor. There is an announcement from Paris that white hosiery will be worn with black slippers. Somebody will sit up and take notice. Booker T. Washington is not on trial. His worth has been proven. He has been tried in every species of fire, and the true metal has stood every test. Whover Dr. Vernon's agent was in the recent furry over the Haitian mission, we did not agree. He was no slouch. He did not go to sleep on his job. He were not an actor of the first water. Salem Tutt Whitney would be a star in the baseball firmament. He makes a "hif" every time he goes to bat. The "noblest Roman of them all" will have b big run at Kansas City when the delegates go to balloting for an editor for the A. M.E. Church Review ext May. The great Southwest will be in its best "bib and tucker" at Little Rock, August 16, 17 and 18, to greet the National Negro Business League and its immense following. A facetious correspondent, writing of stage facts and fancies, works off something about "the lure of the lingerie." He evidently been mingling with the "high kickers." The boys and girls now coming out of school are it to the court and working parents to make the best of the spendable opportunities that are being placed within their grasp. Circumstances over which we had no control made it impossible for us to attend the coronation. We sincerely trust that his imperial highness, George V, is not peeved thereat. William Tecumseh Vernon would be an impressive figure as president of Morris Brown College. He is peculiarly fitted for work among our struggling people in the Southland. The fellow who complains most bitter that certain light-complexioned Negroes are "trying to pass for white," would put on more alre than a peacock if he were as fair of skin as they. It is one of the queerest of anomalies that the actor who most frequently gets on a "theater selfie" hits on the "big time." Lew Henry will elucidate this for the benefit of the uninitiated. Advertising is the lubricant that oils the machinery of business. It cages up the rasping "dull season" and livens trade at all times by letting the people know that you have what they need. Dr. A. L. Aines is gaining ground in the candidacy for the editorship of the Christian Recorder. The mantle worn by Lee L. LaLonde and Daniel makes a neat fit for the erudite Baltimorean. There is a general agreement that Secretary of State, the man the Republicans should place at the head of the national committee. He will see that every element of the party gets a "square deal." The Odd Fellows of Arkansas would do themselves proud if they will take advantage of their golden opportunity and elect that Herculean worker, Louis Napoleon Porter, endowment secretary of the State. Fews between individuals do not help the cause under whose banner they are supposed to be enlisted. The fellow who isn't any more sense to than to "rock the bead" in the mission should be pitched overboard at once. eW are told that black men are not eligible to membership in the Order of Red Men, an exclusive organization of white men. To be consistent, the brethren in this misnamed organization should be color blind. The Negro has no better friend in the country than Cardinal Gibbons, of Baltimore—and the world. The entire race rejoices in the honors that have been recently bestowed upon this true messenger of Christ. The Southern Indicator, published by LaBan Morgan at Spartansburg, S. C., recently put out a "business edition" which describes the nature of the paper and to the wideawake character of the colored people of Spartansburg. Wilberforce University recently conferred upon the talented Dr. C. V. Roman, the Nashville specialist, the degree of LL.D. Dr. Roman leads the course of the A. M. E. Church ITEMS OF RACE INTEREST. Mrs. Beulah Porter, principal in the Indianapolis schools, was on the program of the National Association of Colored Teachers at St. Louis. T. B. Williams, formerly a principal in the Indianapolis schools, was president. Former Governor P. B. S. Pitchback, of Louisiana, now a city attorney appointed a special agent in the Internal Revenue service, at New York City, in charge of collecting the corporation tax, has been covered into the civil service by order of President of the United States in the retention of the race's "grand old man" in the Federal employ for life. What is undoubtedly the most unusual case of mob law in cosmopolitan New York in recent years occurred late Tuesday afternoon, July 4, when a large mob sixth street badly beat Henry McFadden, white, for beating William Bonapart, colored. Bonapart, half-witted and undersized, is very popular in the neighborhood, adding him when overcome by the heat was more than Bonapart's friends could stand. When Bonapart comes out of the hospital he will doubtless have McFadden arrested. The shouts and blows of the crowd helpless, many women and children in the vicinity. Insisting that the colored man was half-witted and was known all over the neighborhood to be harmless and helpless, many women and children in the neighborhood and neighbors to see the man who had beaten the colored boy soundly thrashed. The young man, according to the tenement folk, is known as the town's own doorman part. A dredge owner named Stokes, whose boat ties up at upper West Side wharves, gives him, they say, board and lodging aboard the vessel as pay for running errands in doing longshore work. The crew also added the saloon at $300 Ninety-sixth street. Judging from the excitement, he has many friends there. The man who is the owner of the saloon he is employed in a saloon immediately opposite the one in which Bonapart is employed. —Amsterdam (N. Y.) News. At the New York Hippodrome a spectacle called "Marching Through Georgia" was presented, which called for a number of colored players. The author says, "One thing I noted with great satisfaction — the intelligence and earnestness they all showed in grasping my effort to inject detail into their work whoever the action made in their production logical, and in offering the benefit, to any other body of so-called 'extra people', whatever their race, employed in any current attraction to even them in this particular. No matter in the production of the plantation scene, one will find that there is something being done that is thoroughly in harmony with the main notion, and being done not perfunctory and mechanically, but with the zest and joy of the performers. An incident proving the ability of Negroes to 'harmonize', musically, without direction, occurred at an early rehearsal. At one point in the play another teacher enters from one side siding the first in the Black Joe. 'The extra, people—the 'Slave --- --- *** for the editorship of the A. M. E. Church Review. John Mitchell, Jr., banker, Pythian race champion and editor of the Richmond Planet, the only NEG member of the American Bankers' Association, should honor his cloaked conferens with his august presence next month at the Little Rock meeting of the National Bankers League. Dr. E. L. Gilliam, associated with Sir Stirling and second Pythian in office, is grand chancellor of State to Ohio, succeeding Hon. Charles A. Cottrill, resigned, to accept the collectorship of internal revenue at Honolulu, Hawaii. Dr. Gilliam is one of the most popular Pythians in all. All will be pleased to bear that that illusorious color, gentleman and skilled warrior, Admiral Togo, of Japan, is to be the guest of the United States. We are to go down into our jeans and dig up $10,000 worth of hospitality. We cannot lose the colored brother when glory is to be distributed. Of course, you are going to Little Rock, to have a share in the hospital reception that Messrs. Bush, Booker, Alexander, Porter, Morris, one and the rest are going to have a share in the hospital reception that the Press Convention, the Bankers and the Undertakers' Association, and all who honor them with a visit next month. The South, the future "garden spot of the world," cannot afford to ruin its reputation in the eyes of the world by tolerating the lynch in England and other European countries. In England and other European countries, gentlemen lynch a Negro or so every morning before breakfast as an exercise calculated to charm their appetites. The Mosaic Templars have no sympathy with those fraternities that insist upon bearing names claimed as the exclusive property of white folks. Messrs. Bush and Alexander say they will draw the color of the blood to the war. If they white men try to become Mosaic Templars, they will sue them for infringement upon their title. An exchange, noting that Jack Johnson was wrongly not mentioned for the Haitian mission, says a boom for the fistic magnate would have accomplished as, there isn't enough elbow room in Haiti to give him a speedy ride with his omnipresent auto. Supreme Vice Chancellor Joseph L. Jones, of the Knights of Pythias, paid a visit recently to the Grand Lodge of the Rising Sun and Daughters of Montgomery Ala. It is rated by General Jones as one of the most progressive organizations he has ever known. It was instituted four years ago, the degree of Birmingham Ala, and though it is not a hundred delegates at the Montgomery meeting. Albing Holes's "Business Pointers" be the bull's eye every time. Every Negro in trade can profit by the pertinent lessons this thoughtful young man teaches. It is hoped that Mr. Holsey will keep his "pointers" sharp and be a commercial spirit of our people will be quickened by the great truths he sets forth. Mr. Holsey is a Georgian and inherits much of the genius of his father, Bishon L. H. Holsey. Harriet Beecher Stow's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" awakened the conscience of all the world to the evil of slavery. When this immortal book was published, the world endured every flag on earth, even the English, for slavery was recognized and practiced in more than one Asiatic race in the past. After the birth of Harriet Beecher Stowe we find slavery gone in all but the savage lands of Africa. Even China has taken steps to end the famity. All civilized today forbids slavery. The world is indeed growing better. At the time of the appointment of Gen. Jos. L. Jones as Vice Supreme Chancellor of the K. of P., the Cincinnati Enquirer, the leading newspaper of the Middle est, published at his home town, had the following "One of the highest honors received by any colored man of Cincinnati has been bestowed upon Joseph L.

He was chosen by Supreme Chairman S. W. Green, of New Orleans to succeed John S. W. Strauther, deceased of Greenville, Miss. The office pays $1,500 a year for a two-year term. Mr. Jones' mother is Mrs. Sarah G. Jones, the oldest teacher in the Douglas School in Walnut Hills.

When the singer had reached the first strain of the chorus, I'm coming. I merely raised my hand with a comprehensive sweep, and instantly the refrain was answered by a burst of harmony so full and sweet that it made the shirtless go up my back. That all the rehearsals needed for 'Old Black Joe'. The colored singers did the rest themselves. "The Crisis, The sixth annual session of the Texas Colored Women's Federated Clubs convened in Waco, Tex., July 3-4. The day sessions were held at Samuel Houston, which was held on the 1st of the first month of the First M. E. Church, and Mayor Woodridge came in person to welcome the ladies to the city.

MISSISIPPI PYTHIAN GRAND LODGE IN SESSION. Strong Men Came Out for All of the Offices. WEST POINT, Miss, July 15.—No time in the history of the Grand Lodge of the Knights of Pythias was there as much interest manifested as in the session of the Grand Lodge, which closed here last night. The reports showed that the standard had been kept up. The death of John W. Strauthers, who for a number of years held the position of Master of the Exchequer, brought out several strong men to The Rev. A. V. D. Snodgrass, of Alcorn, was an aspirant for the position of Grand Chancellor, and over a dozen men aspired for Keeper of Records and Seal. A open-ended address, said many good things, offered some good advice to the members of the rank. His address brought forth outbursts of applause. The annual address of the Grand Chancellor was scholarly and ag- There was much interest manifested in the report of Rev. H. V. Buckingham, who was appointed of Exchequer at the demand of Strauther that he was not a candidate for re-election, yet many were interested in his report. The report showed that durability was to be: Balance brought forward, $44,366.51; collected for the year, endowment, $118,877.10; Grand Lodge taxes, $18,877.10; Balance brought forward, $160; burial fund expenses, $160; burial fund expenses, $484.33; total, $183,334.40.

The election of Grand Lodge officers brought out many strong speeches in placuation of Grand Chancellor resulted in Rev. D. A. Snodgrass receiving eighty-one votes and John W. Harris, of Meridian, 408. St. John's College were Nichols, master of Exchequer over W. D. Gary, and N. S. Taylor received eighty-six votes over both of the other candidates. The other two were Nichols, Nichols, master of Exchequer over W. D. Gary, and W. Blackburn, Port Gibson, Grand Keeper of Records and Seal, V. L. Ruben, Bolton, Grand Lecturer, John Jndsay, Greenview, Grand Prelate; John Jackson, Grand Master-at-Arms. The mayor of West Point, together with the Board of Trade, united in inviting the Grand Lodge to hold its next session in the city, and he circulated the knights upon their department.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JULY 29, 1911. Coal is growing more affectionate looking every day. Great K. of P. Conclave at Indianapolis August 21-26. Having some samples of weather. Have you made up your mind which you prefer? President Simon, of Hayti, is getting a sample of what his venerable predecessor got. So we are to be taught the price of a soul in dollars and cents when we have thought that, at least to the individual, it was of infinite worth. Billy Sunday, the noted evangelist, says that it takes $620 to save a soul in Indianapolis—the highest quoted price for soul-saving in America. Evidently Mr. Sunday thinks that we might drive a better bargain. Indiana hogs are now enjoying eggs. The farmers find it somewhat difficult to comply with the new state law on the sale of bad eggs. Rather than take chances some of the farmers are feeding them to the hogs. It's an ill wind that blows "nobody" good. Some pessimistic individual, speaking of the cost of living, says: "The cost of living, of rent, of clothes, coals and lights, has increased so enormously during the past thirty or forty years that a cloud of unhappiness rests upon the home which enjoys an income of $2,000 a year." Nightmares and such things must rest on those that enjoy less incomes. Hurrah for the rain! Now that's simply another way of saying the prospects of eating are growing brighter every day. In this polite age no one ever refers to being hungry in a direct way. A lady the other day remarked that she had to pay 50 cents a peck for potatoes. "Isn't that awful?" And it would have been if she had bought any. She meant her chances of eating were growing slimmer every day. Little Japan, finding it impossible to outdo or even equal the leading nations in the way of building battleships, has concluded to go in for quality. And really there is something to fear in the conclusion. The Japanese have the peculiar faculty for doing whatever they see done and making improvement in the meanwhile. Their patience is infinite, an excellent asset for the accomplishment of wonderful things. Whatever superiority foreign goods may have over those made at home is due, in the main, to the time employed in making them. Art for art's sake seems the ruling passion, and which seems infectious, pervading everything. Perhaps some imagination enters into the excellence of things done abroad, but the imagination is not utterly without cause. Japan has the workmen; they are artistically inclined, making for skilled mechanics, who are not trying to establish the best speed record in accomplishing an end. This very big little thing may be the secret spring of Japanese little giants to be that will put the big boats sorely to the test. WHAT THE "JIM CROW" SYSTEM MEANS The colored people of Portland, Ore., are seeing a little of what is popularly known as the "Jim Crow" system in one of the theaters. They are making a strong protest, but it appears that the thing is on and that there is no escape. The "Jim Crow" system or discrimination against Negroes, as it is generally known, is an effort at reducing the opportunity of social contact between the white race and the colored people. It does not mean, as many think, that the colored people are enduring hardships through lack of actual accommodations in hotels, theaters and so forth. The restrictions in such matters are severe only from the standpoint of of a common citizenship, and not that physical suffering is entailed. This common citizenship should mean unabridged rights. And we believe that in principle much more is admitted colored people of the United States than is permitted in the practice. That it is to say that the owners of the theaters, hotels and such places who discriminate are not actuated as a rule by any motives of their own. They are out for bread and butter, and they soon learn to know the hindering causes. Should they elimi- --- hate them. That's the question. Prejudice has had much to do with the drawing of lines, but reason has had also very much to do with it. In spite of those larger principles of general citizenship, the society idea shows up in the midst. The veriest Socialist "has his lines," although they may be few and far between. However, in matter of principle one is the same as a thousand. A little retrospection will convince the most skeptical individual that he is not without his scruples. We may set down the proposition safely that public conduct is but the reflex of private conduct, meaning further that as the people act in their homes in such matters—any matter—such will be their ruling inclination when in public. Is it necessary to carry the matter to its furtherest conclusion? We think not. Will the proposition be successfully contested? We think not. Owing to the known views of both races, we have nothing to urge that would suggest the breaking down of the family walls. Every man's home is his castle; he will conduct it as he wills. It is plain that the social spirit that pervades at home will follow out into the outer life wherever there is a social tendency. The hotels, theaters and drinking places are quasi-social, reflecting in some part the home; consequently we will see a repelling tendency in kind wherever there is the contact. This is the Genesis of the business, and also the Revelation. Whatever may happen will detract but very little from the situation as stated. The condition is not without good. It makes for a kind of preparatory, a waiting period, wherein Negroes may qualify—earn money, get experience and in all ways become equipped for a better day in their affairs. Money and experience mean hotels, theaters and so forth by the colored people, and by which they may enjoy the sweets of life, even should the thing of the destruction of the family barrier never come about. It is noted, too, that the present condition has made for race pride, a most satisfactory asset when manifested in such helpful ways. This has nothing to do with impudence or anything that smacks of that "all too important" state that we mistakenly get in at times. In the past a favored few colored people got by unmindful of the rest, and who were no less aristocratic in their bearing towards the rest than your most aristocratic white people. So it appears that if the Divinity figures in earthly affairs, He has not been as careless as we sometimes think. We in our stress to get on would save "me and my wife, son John and his wife," but the devil for the rest of us. ALBERT S. WHITE, OF KENTUCKY, DEAD The death of Albert S. White, a leading Negro lawyer of Louisville, Ky., was a regrettable occurrence of last week. Mr. White met his death at the hands of Louis A. Evans, assistant manager of the Lyra Theater, during a quarrel concerning some theatrical belongings, the ownership of which was disputed. White fell owing to a pistol shot by Evans. Evans and his friends claim that he acted in self-defense. Acting on that theory, he was acquitted by a jury at the coroner's inquest. Mr. White was perhaps the best-known Negro in Kentucky. This, of course, due to his political activity. He was an orator of ability, and his services were in demand in all campaigns. His acquaintanceship was not confined alone to Kentucky. All over the country his name was known, and favorably so. He was prominently mentioned for minister to Hayti to succeed Dr. H. W. Furniss. His sad taking off is deplored by us, and we think those who knew him are also pained to know of the circumstance and the end. KANSAS CITY, MO. (By A. C. Oglesby.) In the business world Kansas City can boast of a number of business enterprises which I shall bring before the readers of The Freeman from the time I came to the university—one of all is a shoe store. While Kansas City can produce more talkers in the United States, we have a city where it is not as low as the length of the road which the Negro ought or ought not to do, but are doing things and those are to do. The Rev. Dr. W. M. Peck, the employment pastor of Alley chapel, is a president who is one of the most� of them, disarmed at dream and in that dream he was a Negro shoe store in Kansas City with all Negro employees. He did not have around and was not talking to the capital. The new business is together and organized The Temple Shoe Co., and on June 1, 1911, they opened up for business with a $5,000 stock of shoes. They carry ladies' gents and children who are to do their work. The most-fastidious lady or gentleman of the land need look no farther than the Temple shoe store. It looks like a small, small street, in the Colored Masonic Building. W. M. Beck is president; William L. Evans, general manager; J. A. Butler, clerk. Mr. Evans is an experienced shopman. Mr. Plank, who is a city one for a few days' stay, are in the city is principal of the Blain school of the above city. Mr. Paul Whitworth, the 1111 East, Eighty-Nine and the 1111 Wines. Mr. D. Woods, private secretary to Mr. W. M. McKnight, is ill again. Mr. Clarence McAfee is back at work after his two weeks' vacation. A graduate of the Rockies, the dependable school of Winter University is at the Baltimore for the summer. Mr. Jenkins is a very bright boy, nineteen years old, and expects to enter the Kansas City of medicine this fall. He is a lady of medicine. We wish him success. His mother is a teacher in the Young's School of Independence. She has been teaching them three twelve years. Mr. Mr. Brown is back working for a few weeks, visiting her mother. Mrs. Thomas Herndon, of Highland avenue and Master Thomas, Jr., and the May H获生馆 are in the city. He is a teacher visit for Hمىgannville and Mr. Chowne's visit. Miss Edna May is a very accomplished young lady, having graduated from Howard University in back at work in 1911. She works to begin teaching the fall. Mr. D. Woods is on the sick list. Mrs. A. C. Oglesy, of 2629 Euclid Avenue, is on the sick list, but he is covering the time he is in is staying with her while she is unable to care for her two boys. Dr. F. Shannon, the leading colored physician, attended her during her illness. He was also a well-educated and well-skilled doctor and waiters of the Hotel Baltimore, Kansas City, Mo. must say that our efficient headmaster Mr. Plank is a great effort of consideration. His great effort manifested by training young hotel waiters. We will say that during the time in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. his service he has shown us that our services are highly appreciated, and we esteem his appreciation very much. I dare say you will not find many head-waiters in the betterment of we colored waiters. I am quite sure he would not spare one moment of his time in doing so. And if you only make up your mind, those who abide by his methods and you will gain in time to come. We are all hotel men and feel proud of it, but some of our people seem to be more interested in the street that waiting is a profession as well as others. Name me any other branch that you could derive better resources—not one. Here's the idea we would try to prove—the way we could try that we may be able to receive proper training and to keep up with the twentieth century. And put away the old adage, "You must be one another and faithful to our employer, and the one whom you are in care of." DECATUR (ILL.) NEWS.

Only amateur games being played in the league, the league would hardly pay with colored people until promoters with necessary capital, could be interested. Only a few coaches could afford the advent. The Southern cities, with the exception of New Orleans, have not reached the league movement. Yet as Sundays and holidays are the best days to play, the movement is started on a proper basis, we can not hope for good results.

CINCINNATI THEATERS Almost simultaneously, when publishing the opening of the Magnolia Theater in this city, which was one of the most artistic events in the theatrical history of this city among colored people, we were compelled to subdu and order count of the sudden closing. The company had just passed through their first week in a big musical number, "Southland," which was pronounced a grand-class performance on the 20th and 22ndrangle, and was extensive preparations for a new show, entitled "Ethiopiaville," when, like a bolt of lightning, Monday afternoon, a notice was posted on the call board announcing its return to the new show. No change was given for the sudden closing down of the new enterprise. While the business done since the opening night has only been fair, it is understood that the show was not a为大�ig, which will be going to continue under the circumstances any longer. While no discredit can be placed on Mr. Smith or any members of the company, it is under-planned operation of the house of the two-hourly too expensive for the amount of business they could do under any possible condition, being operated exclusively from the colored people. When the writer for The Fronteau called the house to the show, Mr. Hart, seeking the cause, as well as to learn the future of the Magnolia, the gentleman was not present, but it was given out that the several hours knocks given up to the time of the show. The group was also a success; he had done just what he had promised to do—put on a good show, if he had not had time to do the show. The group had he had secured, with the assistance of Messrs. Sid Perrin and Frank Montgomery, was a number one company, and good enough for a food show, and the time of the show was well willing to wait a few weeks until the house got better advertised, they would find out that they had a nice investment. The closing announcement came so sudden that the group were very so much so to their future. The show this week, "Ethiopiaville," is a funny farce-comedy, with book, lyric and music by Frank Montgomery. The first show is a cotton侵权, the first of Joseph Green's home. The Ethiopiaville, and the second scene is in Washington street, Boston, Mass. near the Union Station. The writer has in-depth a series of the show that he has for which Skylock Homestead is chiefly responsible, and the part is well handled by Mr. Montgomery. The writer. Mr. Louis Mitchell takes the part of Samanne Green's wife, Josiah Green. He is to do a darner, whose part is taken by Mr. H. C. Coleman. Several beautiful musical numbers are rendered throughout the entire show. Mr. Lawrence Tisdale has been a big show. Giri's Miss quilts all and H. D. Coleman led a chorus in "Dixie Land Is Good Enough for Me." The rendition of "Suanne River," by Miss Fannie Wise, was a star number. Miss Florence McClain received several in-depth shows, and "Glorgorgale Green, Old Boston Town," by a chorus of eight, consisting of Sid Perrin, Odessa Crosby, Clarence Tisdale, Fanny Wise, Howard, Billy Blancham, Pokkin, Louis Mitchell and Corinne Letcher, was good. It minds us very much the old "Floridora" sextette. Mr. Montgomery has a nice number in "Continually," Henry�ir, and "The New Is Like a Shelf Band." It was really no complaint to be found with the entire show. Other people in the company whose work was highly compulsory were, of course, a key to Marguerite Garrett, Gertie Ferguson, Sallie Brown, Delilah Hosey, Will Duncan, Emma Foster, Adah Davis, Edna Stanford and Sadie Clark. The Pekin turned them away. Though their eyes were still open, they had been seen here before. The curtain was still there. raised on a full house. Miss Mabel Gant and "picks" opened the card with a knock-out turn. This is Miss Gant's second appearance in this city, and from the applause she received during her first performance she was responsible for the large turn-out, with the two little colored boys who assisted in her act. They were good. The boys are eleven dancers, and Miss Gant has two songs; this is one of the big hits in town, well good enough for a time. Fairfax and the company is a new act on the avenue, and was well received while the Kentucky Trio, a mutual turn were a feature. This act consisted of two men and one woman, with good singing, and a bunch of comedy. This is just come off of Eastern time, playing New York, Washington, Philadelphia and other Eastern cities. There should be plenty of work out here for this act. The Gather held over the entire kitchen for the last week. William and Ragin put front and back face skies on a very large black-face skies for entitled "Love Me, The Lord," work for My Living. "The act is well received," Taylor and Taylor are praised on one of their fast singing and dancing that is good. Emmette Anthony is doing a face monologue and singing "What faces Wills are you." The bill is good one Wills should be well supported a week. Notes. At the Pokin next week McKissick and Shadney and the Clarks will be among the attractions. The Gaither will have on the bill the Too Sweets, Owsey and Bowman, Sapiro and Perrin. JOHN RUCKER, COMEDIAN The Crown Garden Theater, Indiana, apolls, true to its promise, presented the famous to its patrons, John Rucker, this gregarious night after night with an audience of the large audiences of friends and admirers, many of whom came especially to Rucker hails directly from Omaha, Macon, Park, Ga., where he is a great attraction, playing to the swellest business that he has played to for many a day. This show house is one of the most beautiful in the Southland, the patrons are the people, and who know all about them they see in the park, is here for the comfort of the patrons including a special street car line, which leads up to the park. The best of order in ways the theater is first class and worthy of its large patronage. Rucker added to his name as an entertainer winning almost respect of the management of the theater speaks in warmest praise of C. C. Collier and James De Costa, manager and his assistant, as very excellent men to work with good acts to them. John Rucker made his initial bow at the Crown Garden last Monday night, where he has been, in honor of the Crownapolis, with big companies some years ago. He was known as the "Alabama Blossom," and who made himself unforgettable with his song expressing the fact that the rain made everything that grows beautiful contracted. He still sings it; it feels good and it is as gold, brighter for the wear. Rucker's monologue easily classes him among the best comedians of the day with his other comedians.isms give a go to everything he says. He doesn't shove things on you; he takes his time. If he is to be compared with any other, he have that inimitable droll that is so difficult to speak of you must just see and hear. For instance, he tells about the bee that fails its suns on a hot day, when he tells it—two a night—its the comedianism of John Rucker. Rucker has not allowed time to put him back. His work is clever, classy, clean, and up to date; will fit in a house of his own style, a table-like quality in the wear. His singing numbers are enclosed until he fairly exhausts his repertoire. His "He's On the Rock Pile Now" fetches 'em, also his own sense composition, a parody on "The Ideal of dreams." This song is from the rock one, and is done with surprise class. To say that all were delighted to see him puts it mildly. He is better in all respects than he was when seen here few years ago. After his first hit, he went to 'U-Blade phia and New York, where he will fit other engagements. Carlisle and Wellman are scoring a success at the Palace Theater, Glasgow.

The bill at the Garden Theater, Louisville, ville, this summer, Brown and Brannam, this summer, and a novelty show at the show, followed by Miss Irene Board, corner, Smith and Whitman is another good show.

LYRE THEATER LOUISVILLE, KY The Lyre Theater opened Monday night, July 24, under the management of the Evans Bros. to a record breaking at the premiere. This house has been newly decorated art gallery, bill opened with the Arntes, Billy and Gail new act, which was a scream. This team seems to be very popular with the Loussies ensembles. Miss Grace Arnte sang "Teasing the Enemies." The next act was Billy Cross, known as Billy. This was his first time in Louisville, and he is a good comedian, and made a good show on the Louisville audiences. Then came the show, erics Brown and Dek, clever singing, brown character artists. They were warmly welcomed the minute they made their debut and the show was good in her character song, "When Man Loves the Cubanola." Miss Rosa Brown was a complete knock-out when she sang "What Why They Call Me Stine." The closest match was the storm of the bill. This being the first appearance in Louisville, they open very big, and their first song, "The Closest Match," was a sure hit. Butler May sang "Get You Mechanic," and it stormed the house. He was compelled to take several encores the closing song, "Alabama Bound," was a great show, and a doubt this was one of the best act seen in Louisville, and closed a good bill. NOTES OF J. M. BUSY'S WORLD'S GREATEST STORIES We are now enroute through Oregon, showing to packed houses. Everybody is happily enjoying this western climate. We are also enjoying the coast. The Silver Leaf Quartette, with the most consisting of Charlie Smith, Thos. Thompson, Lester Fossie, Dock Ward, and also Simon Jones, one of the leading come-ons of the country, and a young millionaire of Hood River, Ore. McCann was formerly in New Orleans, and is a lover of the southern airs. The boys enjoyed a lovely auto ride from the coast to the Captain's cozy little home, also. By Sylvester Russell. Entering into the question of different characters of entertainments we have the donkey in the barn yard, the kittens in the cage, the kitten cott all to contend with in trials beyond compare. The argument all depends upon how soon the house will open. Let there be spread two bills of fare. If the audience is present during the summer, then there will be nothing left to do but to provide a vaudeville bill of fare, the sam eas other two-performance houses, and with the prices and house and car plan, but with as many colored acts as can be gotten or all if possible; if strong enough, and with a society entertainer, male or female, or reputation, from anywhere, as a headliner, or a comedy star. The featured act would have to be so highly advertised in so many sensational ways that all the community other souvenir inducements should be offered. If musical comedy were offered for a winter season, a grand revival of the flamenco and Walker, and another Johnson musical that have been produced at the Fa- kin in the past could be inaugurated and run from two to four weeks, according to their popularity. Such an effort I conformation cost commissioned by Jesse Shipp and Sam Corrier, Jr. providing that the estate or a syndicate would back the venture and arouse the public accordingly. And then the argument would up to the point the colored race, especially those who preach so much but do so little. If the public should rally, I am sure the Pekin could be a paying house, as it should be, and in such an event, other new plays by Jesse Shipp and other new authors, together with all the composers imaginable, could keep the house aloft. way—puts class to it. "Oceana Roll," by Miss Grundy is well done. In fact, she is good in all she does. The team work is among the very best seen at the Crown Garden this season. THE GREAT SOUTHERN QUARTET AT THE PAVILION THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. The Great Southern Quartet is at the Pavilion. Theater, Indianapolis, this week, and one of the particular features of the excellent bill offered at this show Tim Owsley Makes a Hit as a Legitimate Comedian at the Monogram make Comedian at the Monogram. One of the greatest bills of the season comes when Tim Owsey, a well-known comedian, whom I had never seen, made his first bow where the crowned idol of all observation rules. The team of Owsey and Tim Owsey, who I liked was Tim Owsey's high standard of comedy. He is endowed with qualities that would make him a legitimate star, and that is much to say, from a writer who has been a comedian for I Thought Was Best to Do." scored heavily in choice as a song. Mr. Bowman, a genuine tenor singer, made quite a presentable straight man, and the team as a comedian made their first appearance this season and had a highly flavored operative repertoire. I waited for the second performance, as Prof. Swatman was late, and I was able to give able support to Miss Ethel James rendition of "The Spirit Flower," quite a gem in exactness, which she mastered nicely. Miss Oriana James, who is now a most excellent contralto, sang a ragtime "Big Red Shawl" as a spendid finale, even if Miss Ethel made a most effeminate Indian. Will Dorsey had played piano solo on one so sweet Geo Reeves, the trap drummer, little worried, could harmonize, but Reeves lit up with smiles at the coming of Wilbrun Swatman. Watts and Dick Reeves, with a very good sketch and Miss Carsele, a foreigner played an accordion well. An Assorted Variety of Acts Hold Forth at the Grand. The colored acts have dwindled down to one at the Grand, and for the first time in the diminish, one that was not a headliner. The team was Thomas McCoy and the band was John McCoy. A good act that was badly regulated, but as a trio they sang fine when they got to it. Mr. Thomas was very nimble in playing a ragtime on the piano, and Mrs. McCoy was very nimble in playing a piano. Mr. McDonald proved to be quite a clever headman, a head taller and a chip of little Jimmie Brown, only not so much as the other band members. A letter and physical pose from Dean and Hanlon, acrobats; Clara Knot, in a "Wall Street Battle," and the Apollo Four, which were here a few months ago, and but not so much as the other band members. In the new Grand we not only have a colored theater problem to solve for the future, but a lot of lessons for the mean actors and bass players. The actors to teach them. The first commandment reads as follows: "And there assembled a large number of actors, who took a house and called themselves to ride on a street to perform and novelties incessantly every day, to help to keep the colored theaters supplied, but sat down in the day to rest and to rumble on the street. The good time." The Grand Orchestra is now in good form, and consists of Dave Payton, Jr., leader and pianist; Tobe Brown, cornet; Horace George, clarinet; Miles Harris, trap drummer, and new violinist, whose playing made good. The Phoenix Theater Draws the Elite and Also Pleases the Children The Phoenix has truly "caught on." "Kiss of Mary Jane," "Stumbling Rock" and "The Sheriff's Daughter" were novel pictures. Ed Goodbar, the tenor, sang "Redhead, a ragtime. Or Thursday the brownie, a Forsyth" with illustrated pictures, which proved a special feature. Unusual crowds have been lined up at this house of late, and Manager Hammond is happy. Manager Martin Klein, of the Monogram, is on a two weeks' vacation. McKissick and Shadney and the Clippers have received booking for New York and will leave directly. Eddie Hill is now pianist at the Princeton Cafe, Clark street between Madison and Moore Avenue and Taylor and T. O. Mills are the entertainers. After a careful investigation I have been obliged to abandon the effort of soliciting in behalf of Mr. Horace Copeland. The Southern comedy trio, Bob Henderson, O. D. Carter and George Boutle, escaped fire at a downtown picture house. The Original Rags is out with Costa's (white) Vaudeville Show, but he is not required to black up to do his act. Madame Pauline Dempsey recently had a slight accident. Her policy was later paid. She recently appeared at the Chelsea, Washington, D. C., and has now left for Atlantic City. Joe Simms and Walker Thompson gave me a seat for a box at the Virginia Theater, where they played last week, but I was unable to attend. Joe says, "We go big among the white folks." W. A. Thomas, of "Congo King" and "Down in Dixie" companies, is back in town, so is Happy Beauregard, of J. C. O'Brien's Minstrels. So everybody is happy. William McCabe, of Georgia Troubadours fame, is now in Chicago, preparing for the opening of his company about August 10. David A. Payton, Jr., leader of the Grand Theater Orchestra, was arrested Monday morning, July 24, in default of the opening but waited at night, before the opening performance, by the Grand Amusement Company. Mr. Payton is trying to sue his wife for a divorce. Miss E. L. Kinchen is now associated with the Huggies and Heard Music Company, where everybody is welcome. Laurence M. Heard is the Chicago representative of the firm, at 3159 State street. The Blood-Koehler Music Company, which is located at 145 North Clark Street, has for its house staff Benjamin Blood, Edward H. Koehler, Will Dorsey, director of musical department and arranger; Albert J. Dean, Langston Mitchell and Edward O. Blackburn. The company is handling the liveliest hits of the season. "If I Forget," by DeKoven, Thompson and Alfred Anderson, won third place last week in the list of the most popular sales. Since it has been discovered that The Freeman has a greater general circulation throughout the country than any of the theatrical weeklies, the Blood-Koehler Company will immediately contract to place advertisements of all their latest hits regularly. Miss Lizzie Hart is now featuring this firm's songs. STEWART AND GRUNDY AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS. Stewart, of the team of Stewart and Grundy, was formerly of the team of Stewart and Wallace, showing at the Crown Garden Theatre. They asked him what is considered the very strongest bill ever offered at this show house, following such people as John Rucker, Sandifer and Wallace and others. Their act is unique and fetching, and laugh, there no way to get out of it. Miss Grundy opens up in a behind-the-scene singing number, which she puts on with a good voice—"T Wonder How I Can Dance," she flows the clever, side-splitting skit. The dancing lesson, where Miss Grundy tries to show Stewart a few steps is very good. It is here that Stewart shines. He provides the light-footers the stage. His dancing is irresistible. He makes you like it. Stewart's rendition of "T" Wonder If he sees you in the future. He puts it on in an taking THE $10,000 BALLAD SENSATION.....

The team work is among the very best seen at the Crown Garden this season. THE GREAT SOUTHERN The Great Southern Quartet is at the Pavilion Theater, Indianapolis, this week, and one of the particular features excellent bill offered at this show house. The quartet includes Bud Smith, comedian, who is a very worthy attraction by himself. The quartet is a high-class proposition, being able to give a highly satisfactory show, without assistance. No aggregation of singers seen in Indianapolis has better, brighter songs to offer. They get away from the monotony, giving a variety of material, entering spice and wit into what is often a presentation unknown to quartet singers. THE CROWN GARDEN THEATER. The bill at the Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, this week belongs to the class of 'got 'em." The offering is all stage-giving some of the best-known roe talent. Ora Criswell is a good one; does a tellling piece of work. The Filipino dance, which is an artistic presentation dance of those people—it's pretty. Her singing is also good. Merriweather and Brown do good team work, rather grotesque, but a winner. They have them shouting. Annie and Wallace are a claasy painter. They so cleverly entitle Miss Wallace is a finished performer, being able to make good anywhere. As a dauseuse she is of the Alda Overton and could easily stage the great European show that been the rage. The team work is fine. John Rucker, the old favorite, gets younger with years. Better than ever. Great is Rucker, that's all. Stewart and Grundy close the very strong bill and they do it in good style. If you have any laughs, prepare to spring them now. As singers, and dancers both are good. None better than Stewart. SPORTING NEWS. The Louisville Cubs defeated the Louisville Tigers in a very interesting game last Sunday at Spring Bank Park.

A writer from the South thinks it is high time that the performers were taking higher ground in their presentation in the city. It is hard to believe the better doings will pay. He, however, may stand for the very small minority who do not help much at the "gate." The actors prefer the high-class business; but they prefer the best. They adornations best, and it stands to reason that when the people are good and ready they will be there to serve them.

Australia, who is managed by our Billy. I always give credit where it is due, but McClain is entitled to all the credit that I can give him. In the first place he goes into a place, opens a boxing club and makes money,oney, and when Johnson lands in England, Mac was one of the first to meet him, put the proposition to him and consistently challenge the change he begins to bid, which led to the signing up of contracts, McClain was paid one thousand cash for bringing the two colored champions together, besides receiving a percentage, which is a fortune for McClain. He calls for Australia August 4, taking his racing car, Alzada. We all wish Billy good luck and much happiness. I have done business with a good many in my time, white and black, but he is an exception and I have to take my hat off to him, for he has done what could not do and as such Mac is acquiring MacVea for three years and could never get him out of Paris, McClain came along, signed Sam up for three years, goes to London and gets on the far edge of that has ever on the other side of this kind. Yours sincerely, KRIEGLE Klienk. PENSACOLA GIANTS PLAYING GOOD BALL But Lost to St. Louis Giants at St Louis. By Walker W. Thomas. Special to the sporting editor PENSACOLA, Fla.—The Pennsacola Giants beat the baseball after whitewashing Coventon, Tenn., for two straight games, they left for St. Louis, Mo. Where they played the St. Louis Giants, of to and from and won Monday's game, 5 to 2. Monday's game seems to have been one of the best games played by both teams. In the first half of the ninth inning, the Giants lost to the two holding bags and two strikes on the better. Ward took the third one for a home run, scoring himself and two men ahead of him. The last three for the famous Kansas City Royal Giants o that city. We hope it won't be like New Orleans, losing six straights to the Kansas City Royal Giants, and dust to dust will cease. Kansas City surely must have redeemed since the first of the season, because the locals sure did put it over them during the opening of the season. The Giants, of the Dural, of Jacksonville, Fla., said that his team ought to receive the same honors as the Pennsacola Giants, as being champions of the South or the West. He can have such an idea. Just to recall to your attention, have those Dovies or has anybody ever heard about them making such a record summer? While on the road, not only in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Paducah, Ky., but I suppose you heard about those eight homers in the first inning a record that has never been touched. I, where leaving for Louisville, Ky., played seven games, losing only two and a half, and kind of championship, I don't know what, but they won just the same as was stated above. We, the fans of Pensacola, Fla., wish you good hick this season, and hope your Managers will try to get a championship game, for one time, write Manager Goldstucker.

INDIANAPOLIS—The attendance was again big at the Northwestern aPrk last Sunday, when one of the most amusing and also interesting games of ball ever was played. It was the first game of the double-header. It’s been a long time since a score above 20 has been piled up. “But believe me” the A. B. C.’s made 34 runs, and if they had not had two innings it might have reached 50 or 60. Who knows? Talk about home runs. You hadn’t done anything unless you got yourself a home run. That was the A. B. C.’s junior A. B. C.’s played classy ball. Rested couldn’t tell where the big fellows left. The second game was far different. The Danville boys must have gotten real mad. Or perhaps they had a card up their sleeve, but some strange looking pitcher, hailing, salting from Westfield or Westville, took the box. At any rate, he had a big "W. T." on his shirt, which made him appear a different brand to the Danville bunch. He was different, differently from stem stern—a little Britishish from pitched as regularly as the clock ticks. He did not smile; he did not talk, simply pitched. The crowd which had been so hilarious before, guying the bad play of the "foreign" bunch, began rivet the edge of the crowd, twirling from the "sticks," "Say, he pitches, don't he?" is what they said. He did, now; and when the game ended it was telling a different tale. The Danville boys played a fine game in the second inning, winning it by a score of 10-6. The eighth inning on account of the rain Next Sunday the A. B. C.'s play a white Next Sunday the A. B. C.'s play a white team from Cincinnati, Ohio. LINCOLN GIANTS NOW IN TRIM CONDITION Manager Claims They Are the Fastest in the Business. Special to THE FREEMAN. NEW YORK, N. Y. — We have been very careful in our selection of players to represent the season, hence our loyalty in the completion of our team, and consequently delay in writing to you. We have sent our readers that the Lincoln Giants have closed their line-up and in the opinion of the press and public of the East, have the fastest colored aggregation of the players to send to the colored ball players of the East. They own a ground right in the heart of Harlem in the midst of a colored population. The ground is seeing an appetite of 5,000 attending receptions for several thousand more. The attendance at every Saturday game is enormous, and it is attributed to the drawing quality of the Cuban Stars, our nearest rivals in popularity, will soon hook up with us on the American or National League grounds in New York, indicating points to a reeve-breaking crop. There has not been a faster infield on any colored team than Capt. Lloyd at short; Geo. Wright, second; Pete Booker, mid; Goo. Wright, second; Pete Booker, mid; pulled off some of the greatest double plays ever seen on a diamond. We are well ensconced in pitchers. With the old reliables, McClellan and Buckner, who have not lost a game in season, we have pulled off some speedier umgsters in the profession, Redding and Johnson, in the breach; with Santon, the hard-hitting and hard-throwing catcher, taking up the heavy work of pitching, and the old reliable catchers and with Poles, Gans and Bradley in the outfield, completes a team that, in the opinion of expert critics who have seen them all, outclasses any aggregation of colored ball players in the White, manager of the Lincoln Giants. THROWING THE BULL. Reminder of Spanish Sport—"King William." Negro. Only American Toreador. Put His Animal Down. Many people will not believe that an individual—a man, any man is the master of a bull. Those who do believe it are at once right and wrong. No man can put bulls on his shoulder by sheer force, yet bulls are put down. "King William," a medium sized Negro, does the trick. He has been doing it for years. He put his animal down, and yet he does not look to book it. The "modern toreador" will not say that it is by main strength that he wins. This individual is clearly the master of a bull, and yet again he does what he promises to do and defies any other man in America—he throws his bull. The popular expression of "throwing the bull" for anvil put "King William" to some disadvantage. Wags, professional jokers and the rest of them cannot resist the temptation for cracking someone up. He has announced that he was going to throw the bull, it was caught up something of the comic opera style, answering him. "Yes, he's going to throw the bull." But these King changes all of that when the Of course, only a very few had faith in the man with his "cook and bull" story, brought by a friend. Everybody thought they were dured, but they liked his nerve. They thought they were faked, but they were willing to pay for this brand new colossal experience—'a man putting down a bull.' Not long since there was another happening in the Far East—in the Far East, the skies were dark in every direction, coming down to the ground like a great circus text, and where the plains are studded with bulls, the skies are swallowed in the plains, humanity. Here the actors are of real life, but no less dramatic—and sometimes tragic—than that characterized unnaturalness. Here the actors are of real life, but no less dramatic—and sometimes tragic—than that characterized unnaturalness. Everything had been accomplished in the way of daring, barring one thing only. No one with bare hands had a distinction every man sought in and in the腔务 of the thing permitted no man to announce such a feat without immediate challenge. The unrestrained about throwing the ball! The Negro out the grown on their heads when he said that he could, without weanings of any kind, put down a ball in fifteen minutes. He had said it: he had it to do. The fellows weren't to be trifled with. He was also determined to make good his boast. Cooler heads among them tried to persuade the Negro out of his agreement. He would not listen to it. He argued that by the low of chance he should have been dead long before. that he was living by courtsey and hence could make his life at the hazardous feat. To make his life at the hazardous feat. the da was set. They gathered from him and near; for the story ran like fire in dry stubble. Every man and his brother were appointed day in the great arena—a worthy place for the jetsam of plain and plateau. The Negro appeared on horseback, and in which respect responded with "King William." It was trickled down to the player for advantage, but the bull, the finest kind of a fellow, was agile—full of life and on his job. In order to make the consent of the owner had to get the consent of the owner, broadside going at full tilt. At this moment the horse, gave the bull the "jai juju," or the strangle hold; the animal gave up, and the gang went wild. "King William," who appeared at the Northwestern Park Monday, July 17, claims the distinctin of being the only world that throws a bull unhauled by a man, came. A great throng of doubters gathered, knowing at least that the bull was spot—most of them thought he only would be on the spot when it was all done. To prove that the wrestler was what he claimed to be and that he had no mean heed to try to win, were invited in the field to try his "sauteur" technique. Some twenty or thirty men and boys accepted the invitation, and who unitedly made an effort to win, but the rabbit to make a grand attack, they scouted, skirmished, bushwhacked, running the whole gamut of tactics; but a good square look from the infuriated antagonist sat at the height of speed in every direction. At times the bull seemed mischievously down his head, sport. He would throw down his head, and the children sally, after which he had nothing to do but to retire—the field was bare and desolate. The volunteer fighters got all bare and were there on duty, and dry seats on the fence of the baseball park, from where they looked on uninterrupted, and the great arena; his tail was swinging with agility; his mournful eyes were upturned as if in meditation, looking the look of grim exultation, and perhaps quiet fitness in this hour of utmost trumpth. The bull's victory, however, was but for a moment. He had clearly won in round one. But now comes "King William" amid wild huzzas. His sable robe and trousers once again mallied. His esthile mildish eyes caught on fire, but withal he was somewhat awed by the somber spectacle. One was reminded of the opera of Carnegie once performed "He comes! He comes! And all were excited; but the "King" was on to his job. Long since he had learned the little trick of grabbing the but in the nose, shutting the mouth, and then pressing the neck further impeded the animal's breathing, and the thing was done. Some of the spectators thought that the wrestler meant to go up and hug the bull, but it is not the winning. But it is not the game. The wrestler plays for advantage, and when he sees it. "He does what is best to do, and does it the right way," as Tim Owlesley, the comedian, sings. The wrestler threw the bull, turned him over, and it was all that he promised to do. He has this satisfaction: No other man throws a bull. JACK JOHNSON'S PLANS. Jack Johnson has mapped out a world's tour that will net more than $100,000 of the easiest money a pugilist ever gathered. The big Negro champion has made a career in the sport, and an Irishman, in Dublin, next month, and will receive $25,000 for his services. Curran is said to know less about the game than Jem Roche, who was said to be the champion of Ireland, but who is not so well known. Round. Johnson's so-called manager, Toni Flanagan, trainer of professional runners in Canada, is responsible for the digging up of Curran, who has had little or no experience, but is willing to take a chance for the snug sum Johnson has also agreed to fight the English heavyweight champion, Bombadier Wells, a good man, in London, in September, and will receive a guardian award. Wells weighs about 190 pounds, is a six-footer and possesses a moderate amount of cleverness, but against Langford or Johnson it is believed he would be accomplishing wonders in the ring, Smith, the English heavyweight, who was beaten by Flynn recently, says that Wells never amounted to much. It is probable that Johnson will tackle Sam McVey in Paris in November. December, as seven top contenders are trying to match and are willing to hand a big guarantee to the conqueror of Jeffries. Johnson insists upon $25,000 at least, and he may get it, as Parisians are anxious and are forced to play for Australia in January to fight Bill Lang at Sydney on Easter Monday. For that affair the Ngro titleholder will pocket $25,000, regardless of the result, which on former explosive connoisseur Johnny Collins exploded phenomenon. Langford knocked the spots out in London last spring, but that made no difference in Hugh McIntosh's opinion when he arranged the Johnson affair, inasmuch as the Australian sporting public knew nothing that this daring womper frames it. Johnson has received assurance that after whipping Lang he can have a scrap with the batterer "Burns" the white hops," Jack Lester, while he may tackle other big men in that part of the world, whether they can fight or not. In short, Johnson and Lester will be able to clean up a handsome fortune on the surethings basis, and, according to the plans already mapped out, Johnson not be compelled to play himself, in California some time next summer with a wagonload of gold, still holding the championship, may decide to accept a challenge to be fought in sight capable of extending him. Langford is ready to fight Johnson in England, France or traila, within the next year, but he is barred from such competition. "When I've made half a million out of fighting," said Johnson, "and that he is barred from such competition. If I do make a match with him I'll get $20,000 for my end and hell have to bet $10,000 on the side or the other." But I don't fight Langford in Australia under any conditions, because we wouldn't draw." The Hopkins Book Concern, 153 Auburn avenue, the Atlanta, Ga., agency for The Freeman.
