The following resolutions were drawn up: "Whereas, Death, the inexorable messenger of all mortality, who regards his death with great sadness, made his stealthy entrance into the porches of our highest judicial tribunal, the United States Supreme Court, and laid his key hand upon the stalwart form of one of Kentucky's most illustrious sons, the late Robert H. Marshall, john Marshall Harlan, who for over one-third of a century had rendered faithful and conspicuous service to his sounty and his fellow-men. "Resolved by the colored citizens of Frankfort, Ky., in mass meeting assembled. That in the death of Justice Harlan the nation has lost one of its loftiest and most patriotic citizens, the bench of its ablest and most brilliant humility and aggressive champions, the Christian church of its most earnest and devout zealots, and the great common people a most loyal, heroic, sympathetic and amiable friend. That as he was an advocate of justice to the humbleest citizen, his death comes to us as a race not only as a public loss, but as a genuine calamity, having in our judgment lost the best friend we have had on the supreme bench during the present generation. That we commend the life and career of this great personage as a lawyer, solicitor, man, jurist, patriot and Christian to be the best friend we have had on the supreme bench during the present generation. That we humble implore Him who is wise to err, too good to be unkind, the heart of the heart of the great President, the heart of the great exalted point as a successor to the venerable justice Harlan one who may be actuated by the same generous impulses and by the same exalted motives as allowed by the crowded life of this great jurist that has so suddenly been captured from us. Seer to these chambers where the mighty rest. Since their foundation came a nobler guest: Nor ever to the bowers of bliss conveyed A man's heart is a river spirit or a holter snade. "E. E.

The old historic church, "Quinn Chapel," which has stood for many years near the corner of Ninth and Walnut streets, will soon pass into history. The congregation has purchased a large building on Chestnut street, next to the colored Y. M. C. A., for a price of $17,000. The purchase of this property mean smuch for the colored citizens' tion.

B. F. Hall, Peoples' drug store, C. B. Clay's tailor shop, Johnson & Hansberry's grocery, and many other colored business places. The members are very proud of their pastor, Rev, J. C. Anderson, who is a most excellent minister, ever ready to lead his flock into the right paths, a man who has given his entire attention to his church work. He is a deep student of the Bible, and he is well prepared to combat with the many vexing problems that so often confront a pastor. We wish that space would permit us to pay Rev. Anderson the tribute that he deserves. --- Large and interesting crowds have gathered at Our Merciful Saviour church for the past three weeks to listen to a series of sermons touching the vital issues of our people, by Rector LeRoy Ferguson. The sermons have been listened to with great interest. The rector has give the questions great study. During the past three months it seems that many of our minors are in contact with people that is from the great number of young people who throng places of amusement on Sunday nights and walk the streets filling up the Chill parlors, where intoxicating beverages are served. We have very important questions that should interest every one who is concerned in the general welfare of the Negroes of Louisville. He criticised severely parents who permit their children to go to places of amusement unattended; he dwelt at length on the school question of how some of our people have a habit of sending anonymous letters to the superintendent and members of the school board, that the members themselves have been sent to the school. He admonishe dte young men on account of the lack of courtesy towards our young girls, that very often this lack of courtesy was caused by the immodest wearing of apparel by our young ladies. Sunday morning regarding funerals and lodges. We hope that the ministers of all the churches will start a crusade against many of the evils that seem at the present time to take away from our boys and that the resty and self-respect that they should possess. . . . A new paper is about to be launched in Louisville. The editors of The Kentucky Reporter have moved their plant from Owensboro, Ky., to this city. The Berry brothers are the owners.

The owners, trainers, stable boys and touts have, led up to the fall races, to make a strong effort to win back what they lost here in Louisville, and so it will continue until the season closes. In this era of the racing game the colored man wrote the rules, the writer remembers well when such men as Abe Perry, Isaac Murphy, Alonzo Clayton, Tiny Williams, Monk Overton, Johnny Johnson, Pike Barnes, Dow Allen, and many others stood supreme over the American turf, when the white lad's number was seldom hung up as a winner. The times have changed. Mm do no race for spoon-forks, but now few face a stood in the Blue Grass region as landmarks are no more. The great colored jockeys, many of them lie buried beneath the soil. The days of Ten Brook, Baldwin, Boldt and hundreds of others are now a matter of history. Racing in the great cities of Chicago and New York is a thing of the past. With the closing of the races in this city last week the bookmakers carried away millions of dollars, the things of the past, poor persons who will suffer when the farm falls for the want of the money lost on the ponies.

TOOMEY RECEIVES PROMOTION Amphion Glee Club gives Concert at Howard Theatre—Mrs. Lomax, Under Death Sentance, is Critically Ill. Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., Special Secretary MacVeagh is still being warmly commended for his generosity in retaining the three colored architects on the floor of the Treasury Department, of money in hand placed them on the list for dismissal. The broad-minded head of the Treasury Department knows the handcaps under which the colored man aides work, and knows no work that is above the ordinary. More Negroes are employed at high salaries under Mr. MacVeagh than under any other color. Negroes no man by his color. Competency and identity are his only tests for recognition. Lieut. R. E. S. Toomey, a poet of note and an attorney at law, has been given a substantial promotion in the office of the Auditor for the Post Office Department. Lieut. Toomey served with credit in the American war and hails from Tennessee. --- The Amphion Glee Club, under the direction of Prof. J. Henry Lewis, gave a fine concert Sunday evening at the New Howard Theater. The house was crowded, and the audience was filled with this entertainment, and each gave an excellent account of himself.

Henry Lewis, the musician and a producer, as well, is making arrangements to put on a popular opera in the spring, "Robin Hood," "Pimperel" "The Rake," and the Bohemian Glove, both beloved and "The Pirates of Penzance" may be repeated. Mrs. Mattie E. Lomax, sentenced to be handed over to the president, killed her husband last December, is certain all tuberculosis, and may not live until the date set for her execution. Argument is being made for a new trial. In all probability, the president will commute the sentence to prison. If the courts fail to grant a rehearing of the case, Public sentiment is very much averse to hanging a woman at the national capital. The Tuskegee Club is to be revived, Counsellor J. Louis Taylor is president of the organization. William B. Harris has been elected District Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. of the District of Columbia. There are about thirty subordinate lodges in this jurisdiction. The census office force is feeling chesty. There will be no more removals between now and the first of the new year.

Childs, a public-spirited citizen of experience and breadth of judgment, will be presented by his friends for consideration. --- Howard University opened on the 27th ult., with an enrollment of over 1,500 students, enplaning a significant increase in the enrollment of previous years.

Tial Holmes, instructor in mathematics in the M Street High School, whose pay for eight months service as a teacher in Latin last year was held up by the District Auditor, was recently given a check for the $8.50 due film.

E. ministers, who went to Baltimore Tuesday to attend the funeral of the late Bishop J. A. Handy. Counsellor L. Melendez Kings preparing to establish a new fraternity called "The Order of Malachites." It will not only "take care of the sick and bury the dead" of its members by enabling them to carry their grievances to the courts. The case of Assistant Superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce is in statuo quo. There is no doubt as to his retention at the head of the colored public schools. The education will acquiesce cheerfully in the findings of Superintendent Davidson. Mr. W. T. Menard formerly of the Government Prison office, is now in charge of the job department of the Palisade Press at Yonkers, N. Y., in addition to his duties on the Standard Journal, the voice of the colored citizens of Yonkers and New Rochelle. General Menos, the new Haitian Minister to the United States, comes on the 15th.

Burt, formerly commander of the 25th Infantry, is at present the favorite candidate for delegate to the next republican national convention. No colored running-mate is mentioned as yet. Dr. Wilder may enter the race Dr. Wilder is an original Taft man, and is immensely popular. President Taft's tour of the West is being watched with interest. There seems to be no "enemy's country" as far as he is concerned. He has more experience than any of the "pop-gun" tariff laws were in accord with safety and sanity. He has saved the business situation. Local sentiment among the members of the G. U. O. of O. F., favors the election of B. J. Davis, of Georgia, as the National Grand Master. Former Grand Master and now Associate Justice of the Supreme Court. W. L. Houston, will probably succeed Editor Davis as Chief Justice of the Court. . . . Dr. W. H. Davis, official stenographer of the National Negro Business League, is as busy as a hive of bees compiling information about the organization at Little Rock, Ark. It will be one of the fullest and most interesting volumes of the entire series of reports, beginning at Boston in 1900. The True Reformers are coming royally to the rescue of Grand Master W. R. Griffin and Deputy Floyd Ross. Messrs. Jones and Ross are among the Richmond course of Dr. Jones who claims damages in the sum of $10,000, because of alleged utterances by the former, implicating Dr. Jones in the escape of R. T. Hill, the defaulting cashier of the True Reformers' Bank. The colored people of the nation are not overlooking the fact that it was President Taft that the colored schools of the District of Columbia are getting their rightful share of the Congressional appropriations this year. White and black are the two groups according to population. The colored schools will be allowed approximately $1,000,000. Dr. Arthur M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala., a leading surgeon of the South, regardless of color, will be liberally supported by his will. (The national Medical Association) U.S. war THE FREEMAN.

Marshall, well-known by reason of his connection with the Brownville case as legal adviser for the discharged soldiers, is in the city. He is now a suc- cessor in the New York City, and is a member of the board of publicity of the National Negro Independent League. It is said that Mr. Marshall is a receptive candidate for the office of assistant superintendent of the Washington schools. . . . At last accounts Public Printer Donnelly is "sitting tight" on the case of John Moore, the colored bricklayer whom the civil service commission is competent to have him being say "Nay, nay, Pauline." It is found that Mr. Donnelly is a man of backbone, and that the United States government—and not the labor unions—is running the great government printing office. Mr. E. Smyth Jones, remembered the nation over by reason of his novel experience in a Boston jail last year, when he converted a judge by the excellence of his work. He has placed on the market a neat volume called "The Sylvan Cabin," embracing among other good things, his famous "Ode to Ethiopia." Mr. Jones is a native of Mississippi, and is selling his book to raise money to complete his education at Harvard. . . . The Atalanta Independent is calling upon Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson, Record-keeping officer, half of the election of Col. Henry S. Jackson, postmaster at Atlanta, as national committeeman for the State of Georgia. The committee is not known to your correspondent, but there is a strong feeling that Col. Johnson is not held by the objection held down by Col. Judson W. Owens. The Negro represents 95 per cent of the republican party in Georgia. Why not a competent, experienced and aggressive national committeeman, Brother Davis? --- The colored papers are winning commendation from every side for the very first time. The Jackson's convincing and illuminating series of articles on "The Man Farthest Down." Thousands who did not get to see the event, who look, are now setting the matter in a convenient form through their own race papers, and many are preserving them in their archives. The articles are worthy of a careful reading. They show very plainly that the Negro in America is not "the man farthest down" when the world's account is balanced. *** The deal by which Mr. Andrew J. Thomas takes over the New Howard theater for a term of ten years has been consummated to the satisfaction of concert concessions. The management will open with high-class vaudeville and moving pictures on the 23rd. Road shows of the Smart Set and Block Patti caliber will be played when available. Some are the Samba Girls attractions extant are the Samba Girls attraction Walker, the Georgia Camper, Ten Dark Knights, Nettie Glenn, the Griffin Sisters, Cooper's "Fun in a Barber Shop," Abbie Mitchell and other top talent. The theater is the finest theater in the country for colored patrons, and Mr. Thomas is to be congratulated upon his business sagacity and course in getting it in the race. I am hope it will be liberally reported. The lease calls for an annual rental of $7,200, or $600 per month. MISS INEZ EMILY MOORE WEDDED TO DR. JAMES H. REDD OF MINNEAPOLIS, MINN. GREENSBORO, N.

Washington, The Appalachian Express, a mammoth presentation of Southern progress, held annually at Knoxville, Tenn., has just closed. The exposition is the work of the best white men and women of the South. This year they extended an invitation to the public to deliver a special address and so anxious were they that she attend, that they had their special representative at Pittsburg, Pa., to insist upon her coming. Miss Burroughs had to decline because she is a new building at Lincoln Heights and had to be on the grounds to arrange for the details of the work, under construction. She was also asked to send an exhibition of the work done by the school. She comes to know that the institution news comes that the institution received one of the best premiums offered for fine work. We may say what we will about merit and prejudice, but the individuals who do the work we are given the prize, even by Southern whites. The Training School is in its infancy but we are sure of the quality of the work done in the sewing and fine arts department, when the school is able to manage the management of the Appalachian exposition.

One of the most significant works of fiction to be published this fall is "The Quest of the Silver Fleece," by William E. Burghardt Du Bois (A. C. McClurg & Co.). The story is laid in the South and in Washington, and not only shows the struggles—often against impossible odds—of the Negro, who aspires to develop lhs personality, but shows the economic roots of many of the injustices which stand between the Negro and the open sky of real freedom. Bless Alwyn, the heroic boy who is the central figure of the great, the mystically mind-induced ghost-seeing girl, who yet possesses an intellect which seems to have been sharpened rather than dimmer by untutored mysticism of her youth in the swamps, both suffer not only from race prejudice and wrongs unwittingly done them by the very people who essay to teach them and help them, but they are caught in the toils of the great international loom that is fed by the cotton of the South. From their own standpoint, feeling their woes as only a brother in blood can, and seeing the genesis and reasons of those woes as only a trained sociologist can, Dr. Du Bois, the admitted prophet and idealist of his race, makes a plan for them that cannot be evaded and the first of his pieces in the novel of unusual power, of stern realism, but power and realism which have not been allowed to usurp the place of beauty. KEEPING EDITOR LEWEY "ON THE JOB." The National Negro Press Association did well to retain Editor M. M. Lewey as president of boys in the trenches" closely around him—National Union, Washington, D.

We pray. **Testimonials.** To Whom It May Concern: I am a married woman and have been for ten years. I had only lived six months in any peace of death in home until I consulted this worthy woman. Two years ago, and since then, my home, by taking her advice, has been all that any family could wish. I am your sister in Christ. MRS. W. H. H. Sherman. Texas. To Whom It May Concern: My dear readers, you are missing half of your life in misery and shame, worrying with a man that will not try once to please you, cherish or comfort you, and hold a bright light of good moral conduct in your life. You are happy. Now, listen; if you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdee advise you. I know you will love me, a run-a-bout and around, a gambler, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman, I took up courage and let her hear from me. Upon hearing that I am a model and asables, I have a model man in every respect. I will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. "I am now making my own volunteer me to be so happy. I would like so much THE CITY OF NEW YORK to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man two years and we spat all the time. We appointed me to work at a job and appointed me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is so nice and kind to me, and he will not agree with me to divide and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and then made up his mind, and do you know that my husband has one of the best friends in the world. No matter what you want to do or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you will never regret it. I cannot help being so happy that I am doing, what she is doing, and you never had of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme Court, and I was very happy and as Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, as ever, a friend, and I WAS TOSHIKA To Whom It May Concern. I have always been one of those that did not understand the details of this until about four years ago I had a great trouble and it cost me almost every dime I had, and my mother asked me one day to tell some of this trouble to this woman that I had been asking for papers. Mother says, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I came to my house, my yourself; anything now. I come clear at last, and I say, "She let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in subway, "You will be my friend. I will do the rest." And bless her to day and forever. I was called to trial, and every witness that could be found spoke in my behalf, and those who did not could be found. I will be set free.

It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $10 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair, but will stop from falling out; positively moves dandruff, promotes a luxuriant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, OCT. 21, 1911. One will have to be exceedingly good looking if he expects a flattering picture from one of the "while you wait" shops. The La Follette boom is launched. Now, if it doesn't prove as one of those Count Zeplin's dirigibles. If all of those 300,000,000 and more Chinese get that "E Pluribus Unum" feeling, there'll be something doing in Chinaland. The weather is most considerate. It means a little more time to fix up for winter's run of ninety or a hundred days, making one like it whether or not. The Republicans are offering a most excellent line of candidates for Governor—Charles W. Fairbanks, J. Frank Hanley, Chas. A. Bookwalter, Hugh Th. Miller, William L. Taylor, James P. Goodrich, and then some. Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the C. M. E. Church, is in the city. The annual conference of his church is in session. Bishop Phillips is presiding. He has just returned from Canada, where he attended the Ecumenical Conference. The great Panama-Pacific International Exposition has been touched into being. President Taft had the pleasure of turning the first spadeful of earth that marks the beginning of the exhibition, which will be built in celebration of the greatest feat of the century—the Panama canal. A white settler in South Africa shot a native because he stole a sheep. The settler owned up most promptly. The jury of white peers just as promptly acquitted him. However, it did not turn out as was expected. The settler was ordered out of the country. This was a wholesome lesson, but there is danger of it getting too thick. Couldn't very well deport a whole mob. The mayor's effort to break down the unreasonable restraint of trade is having a wholesome effect, whether he stays a long or short while in the business of buying and selling potatoes. All of us are prompt to cry down the big combines that have the reputation of "holding up," but many of us forget all about it when we get in a position to do a little squeezing ourselves. The cost of food has been extortionate, making it impossible for the small wage workers to provide for the very essentials of the table. Mr. Shank, who is from the rank and file, has boldly asserted the poor man's right to have a few dollars in his pockets or elsewhere, over and above table expenses. "Virtue is a vague term. It means different things in different ages and in diverse parts of the world. The old Greeks were commended for sacrificing their daughters to the gods. In certain savage communities the man who buries his old mother alive is not felt to lose caste among his fellows. In China the mother who intrusts her baby girl to the mercy of the river is not judged less amiable by her friends, nor is the man who eats his enemy considered a reprobate by his tribesmen. In our own country, the people who burn Negroes at the stake are not considered reprobates by the people among whom they live."—The Christian Register. So we have kept on until we are in a most unenviable class. We affect to be horrified at the barbaric doings of what we choose to call outlandish peoples, when they have as good reason to be astounded at us, who have all the wisdom and the understanding. Among those prominently mentioned for Governor of the State of Indiana are Charles W. Fairbanks, J. Frank Hanly, William L. Taylor, Hugh Th. Miller, Charles A. Bookwalter and James P. Goodrich. The Republican editors at South Bend, Ind., voted Hugh Th. Miller, former Lieutenant Governor, the first choice. William L. Taylor, former Attorney General of the State, was the second preference. All of the candidates are men of distinction and are highly esteemed generally. Charles W. Fairbanks, whose name was mentioned as a compliment to him, was Vice President of the United States with Theodore Roosevelt. Charles A. Bookwalter is an ex-Mayor of the city of Indianapolis. He is a well-known party worker. J. Frank Hanly, ex-Governor, is known for his decided temperance views. James P. Goodrich, former chairman of the State Republican committee, is considered a successful campaign manager. --- THE Y. M. C. A. CAMPAIGN. The movement for a greater Y. M. C. A. building for the colored young men of this city is making rapid headway. Substantial support has already been given by two well-known white citizens of Indianapolis. Carl G. Fisher, automobile dealer, gives $10,000, and Arthur Jordan $5,000, making a fine showing of $15,000 at the very outset. The campaign is just beginning among the colored people; doubtless they will be inspired by the liberal offering of the two white gentlemen, and raise the comparatively small amount expected of them. The managers of the colored folks' end of the campaign expect to exceed $15,000, the amount apportioned to them to raise of the $100,000. They think that it is their duty to raise $25,000, and are working to that end. The white citizens have just begun to take notice, and it is thought that the remainder of the sum required will be raised in a very short while. Of the $100,000, the Jewish philanthropist, Rosenwald, of Chicago, has tendered $25,000, based on the forthcoming of $75,000. The white Y. M. C. A. and white citizens generally have declared a willingness to give liberally, practically assuring the larger portion of the $60,000 yet to be raised. The gifts and assurances mean that the colored people will have a new, commodious building in the very near future. The colored managers have planned for a very vigorous campaign. Prominent members of the race have the matter in hand and promise to cease only when the town has been most thoroughly canvassed. THE LATE JUSTICE JOHN M HARLAN. The death of Associate Justice John M. Harlan, of the Supreme Court of the United States, is very much regretted by the people generally. The fair-minded citizens have suffered a peculiar loss in the death of the peerless advocate of fair play to all men regardless of color or the circumstances of life. The Negroes especially have lost greatly through the death of the distinguished jurist, who in urging equality of justice did not leave them out of the calculation. In short, the country has lost a great, good citizen whose like may not be seen again. Latter-day tendencies did not permit the sway of the opinions of Justice Harlan on some of the vital questions that came before the country and before his court for adjudication. But the deep thinking public viewed him as one who had the letter of the law in mind and also the spirit in which it was conceived. There are those, a few among men, who stand for the law—letter and spirit—although the heavens fall. Justice Harlan was one of them. The latter day school, and as it concerns the interpreting of the laws, are no less a necessity than that rigid unyielding class. It gives decisions in the interest of the government's stability, and which at times appears a shifting of attitudes in the interest of the desired stability, which in the reduction means more conformable to the public will. This school of jurisprudence may not depart from the letter of the law, but it sees the spirit from a different viewpoint, compelling it to harmonize with external conditions, which external conditions is the attitude of the great majority, and which majority includes all the elements that go to make up what we call civilization in addition to the numerical phase. The two classes of men will be thought well-nigh indispensable in our form of government, perhaps in any form of government having to do with a capricious people. They act as checks and balances, thus maintaining a middle course which means the greatest good for the greatest number. In republics the citizens have the power of recall and which if exercised freely would mean the interruption of government. It means that those governing do so with the consent of the governed, and that a refractory attitude of the governed imperils that government. The governed and the government are necessarily harmonious, else there is anarchy. We refuse to speak specifically of the services rendered the race by Justice Harlan, and because a race question is involved, and in which the noted Kentucky jurist was only one as a factor. His eminent services as judge on questions where were the interests of the race made for just so much good influence for the race. We are mistaken if we think of courts as some arbitrary things, as of some superior divinity with Jovian power getting things done of themselves. The fault is with the people who are greater than courts or Presidents. When the people are right the courts are right. We unitedly mourn the los of so good a friend to humanity. His increment of good has been deposited with that of the minority, as it were in the days of Garrison, Lovejoy and others, and in the days of the general accounting it will be found that no goo dthing is in vain. "THE SHEPARD CONFERENCE." The colored ministers of the country have it within their power to work vast improvement among the rank and file of the race in the matter of living conditions. They come into closer contact with the masses than any other class of professional men. They are in our homes day by day. We worship with them on the Sabbath and look to them for the light that is to guide us "until we meet again." They represent the spiritual force that makes men different from the other members of the animal kingdom. They are our commissioned leaders, and are presumed to be on duty, subject to call whenever needed. The minister knows our weaknesses and shortcomings. Laboring with the doctor, he can do more than any other agency to apply a remedy for our moral and physicalills. Problems of sanitation as well as soul-saving, of earthly housing as well as of heaven and hell, of civic improvement here as well as of gold-paved streets and mansions in the skies, are his to solve, because he has the time and is intrusted with this dual responsibility. Dr. James E. Shepard does well to THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER call together in conference these prime factors in the equation of race development. He asks the ministers to meet him for a week's discussion of all of our vital problems at the National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C., beginning on the 6th of next July. These apostles of light and leading are invited to be the guests of the Shepard school, free of cost. Our ministers should avail themselves of this splendid opportunity for service. They should gather at Durham from far and near. Untold good can come out of such a conference, where consecrated men are imbued with an unselfish desire to help their kind. Dr. Shepard should receive prompt acceptance of his very generous and timely invitation. REPUBLICAN PROGRESSIVES IN CONVENTION. Representative of what is known as the Progressive Republicans met this week at Chicago, in convention, and, among other things, declared in favor of Robert M. La Follette for President of the United States. The convention set forth resolutions embodying its ideas of progressive government. The most striking of the views is the one on the selection of the President, which is as follows: "We favor the ascertainment of the choice of Republican voters as to candidates for President by a direct primary vote, held in each State pursuant to the statute, and where no such statute exists we urge that the Republican State committees provide that the people be given the right to express their choice for President." The other objects and aims of the Progressives, as declared in their resolutions, are not essentially different from those of the men of advanced thought in either of the two great parties. President Taft and others of his party and Governor Woodrow Wilson, of New Jersey, and others of his party, will readily agree to this plank of the platform of the Progressives: "The progressive movement is a struggle to wrest the control of the government in the Nation and States from the representatives of special privilege and restore it to the control of the people. The issue is the same in all the States, though the problem may be presented in different ways." The submitting of candidates for indorsement at the polls, however, is a rather new note, or an old one revived. The plan would insure a popular choice, eliminating the sometimes caprice of conventions. The tremendous stakes, however, would more than likely introduce unheard-of tactics to a desired end. The preliminary of today is not an "institution" to swear by in practice. Men feel to take liberties in them which are no part of regular elections—at least, no conspicuous part. The stately, dignified convention for choice, not simply ratification, appeals. It is the somewhat spectacular in government, but it's a poor government that does not have some pomp and splendor. Men are not inspired by the automatic, but things big with action—accidents, incidents, also causes and effects, theatrically worked out. The untrammeled convention has almost become governmental in function. IN AND ABOUT PENSACOLA, FLA (By Walker W. Thomas.) The Thomas News Bureau, No. 18 South Tarrgonna Street, Phone No. 821.

A team of all-star players with Owain Bush and Paddy Bauman in the lineup, took both games of a double-header with the A. B. C.'s at Northwestern park, Sunday afternoon, the scores being 6 to 4 and 6 to 2. The games were fast and the crowd was kept on a strain from start to finish. Dauss, who pitched the game from the first to the third, steadied than Bartlett. However, he got a bad start in the ninth by passing two batters, and then finished the game by striking out the next three men up. William Selden, short stop for the A. B. 's, is a recent addition. He hails from the Twin ity Gophers of St. Paul, Minn. His fielding and batting won him special attention. He put one over the fence, making a home run. He also hit two pitches, pitcher.

The failure of May and May to report according to contracts with the manager of the Pekin Theater, Monday night left the house in a very peculiar position. The manager waited until 6 p. m., thinking the team would arrive on a late train, having billed his house and surrounding localities in anticipation of a very large crowd, as the team are big favorites on the avenue. Their failure to report or send him any word placed him in a very awkward position, but the usual large Monday night crowd was on hand, and they seemed to enjoy the small card as well as any former bill. One of Cincinnati's local comedians, Jakie Brown, was given a place on the card, doing a black-face, and his efforts were highly appreciated. Jakie sang a couple of good, catchy songs and tried a little monologue and showed plainly that with a little assistance he will make good. Miss Lucy Shepherd, after singing to the moving pictures for several weeks, jumped into the limelight and put it over. In real fashion. No better number could have been booked than this one. He closed the song, "Fishing," was a big hit. In the chorus when she sang "Any old fish will bite if you got good bait," made some of the regulars look up. The only and original Sweatman was a life-saver. He was booked in for two weeks, and it looks like we could use him for ten. The Galther has too good acts. Rector and Johnson have returned after a year's absence with a very neat turn. This is the second time that this team has played on the avenue, and it looks like they will outdo their former sister. The big hit of the show is the music of the Kid and Gertie Bardon, a real mime act and one of the hits to hit Brownwell. Besides the music of which they are masters, they have something entirely new. The brown plays several beautiful selections and will set of musicals while Mr. Brown entertains us while his banjo quartette. Much has been written and said about the operation of the Howitzer since it opened. It is a place of amusement where the Nebraska of Washington could go, and it is place in this beautiful and commemorative playhouse to see shows. less of this house has been watched with interest during this time by your correspondent. At present it seems as though it has been placed in the hands of persons who see it as a kindly feeling an intimation that these gentlemen win the support of the greater people of the Capital City. The people whom to be seen are the people who will support them sufficient to warrant the new management to continue their proposed policy. number of persons who have had anything to say or write about, and truly, that the prices of admission are seen too high. Mr. Thomas has decided that a washroom is a good show town and that he will water to the demands of the monster bill. In he will deville each week the prices of the show and 20 cents, running shows each night. It is his plan to have known as a continuous show. The house, over 1000 Negroes in Washington, approximates 10,000 theater-goers people. In an interview with Mr. Thomas he made the following statement: "The prices of admission at the theater are in the house to be 10 and 20 cents. It is my plan to make a continuous show, booking acts of the Fiddler and Shelton, Shelton, Sam Giffen, etc. I shall open the house Monday, October with a monster bill, consisting of four numbers. My plan is to furnish good vaudeville at the above stated prices and to when a good colored road show can be held, which time the price will be 25, 35, 60 and 75 cents. I shall run good motion pictures and have a good orchestra." shall try to give the people more thinking, and I feel sure that they will support us. Judging from the success that Mr. Thomas has had at the Minneapolis and this house, he has gained in handling this house, the position to start out at the Howard in such manner as to cause the theater-going people to city to rally to his support. There is no reason to believe they will. Will tell. Many things have been said about the great expense that the new management encounters to handle this huge encounters, the amount that he pays actually to the office of a real concern to the public. If he been "stung" and has miscalculated, it is an unfortunate thing. If not so, well and good for his personal judgment and business ability. Miss Ray Balley played at the Blue Mouse last week with her usual result. She made a big. Gaines and Brown she made a big. Gaines and Brown. The bill at this house was unusual and was highly appreciated, judging from the applause and box office receipts. Miss Muriel Ringgold and James Forte were on the bill at the Foraker last week. Each act went big. Mr. Ford Dabney has purchased the Chelsea Theater. Miss Gerald Ryan is in the box office. Messrs. Louis Mitchel and J. West are managing the house. Miss Gerald Hudnell is managing the Ford Dabney Theater. The bill at the Chelsea last week consisted of Williams and Gillam, Gillam and Dabney. Both acts went well. Miss Gerald Hudnell and Gillam were; Kelly and Davis and Mamie Jones. Each act received considerable applause. The motion pictures were exceptionally good. Mr. Carrolla orchestra furnished very good music. Miss Susie Sutton played at the Minnehaa last week. She received her share of the unstappled applause. How much laugh did she attend at the Minnehaa last week? Three boys went good. There is not a dull moment in their whole act. The screen of the bill was the act of Moore and Jenkins, one hears the Family and not the call the doctor, that all." Mr. Moore sang "Coo Rar" and had to take many bows. Jenkins is clever as a foot rhymester. He delivers his dancing stunts and dialogue in his style. Mr. Theodore Pankey was here on Saturday and Sunday on business. Miss Susie Sutton left Sunday night for a two weeks' engagement in WI rallies for the 2016 election. Belvidere, Ill., Star Theater, JoJe Simms, monologist. The Javilins are in Sioux City on a three months' tour. Thornton and Long are playing in Philadelphia this week. Fred Baker, trombonist, has joined the Tennessee Minstrels. The team of Pugh and Pugh, at the Macro Theater, Charleston, S. C. going to the Crown Garden in great numbers. The Pekin at Chicago had a similar experience during the second all-third years of its running. The noelity, however, seems to have somewhat worn off in the succeeding years of the theater's existence without any apparent cause. We trust the patronage the whites to the Crown Garden Theater will not only endure longer than that of the Pekin at Chicago, but as it goes on will increase as well. KENTUCKY TRIO Irving Jones and Burt Grant are at Hammerstein's theater, New York. William E. Jones, the singing comedian is still at the Lincoln theater, Washington, D. C. Alonzo Moore, magician, will be at the Crown Garden, Indianapolis, next week. He is among the best in the business. Earl Walker, manager of the Crown Garden, of Indianapolis, was in Chicago this week in the interest of his house. Pearl Moppin has closed with the A. G. Allen minstrels, now manager of the new Dixie theater, at Rockymount, N. C. Thomas McDonald-Thomas have been engaged for an indefinite period to appear at the Lyric Theater, Charles City, Iowa. Mr. A. G. Allen, of Allen's minstrels, desires to communicate with Arthur L. Prince and Frank Tansel. Wire as per route. Daniels and Daniels will close October 21, after a successful run of four weeks' engagement at the Acme Theater, Meridian, Miss. Prof. A. Brooks, the noted ventriloquist, is still pleasing the audiences and soaring a success with his act. En route with the Dandy Dixie minstrels. The great De Wayman Niles, the conspirator of ability, still delights the many hundreds of people who see him nightly with the J. C. O'Brien's Famous Georgia Minstrels. Felain the tenor late of Dandy Dixie minstrels, left Washington Sunday for bachelor in Independence, Kan., with his bear, which he thinks as much of as he does himself. Happy J. Lockhart and Mr. Henry have joined close with W. M. McCabe's Minstrels and are now in St. Louis with J. Adelaide's Minstrels. Will be in St. Louis for some time. Martin and Motley, after closing a successful week at the Lycea theater, Louisville Ky., with the Crescent theater, J. Adelaide Ky., Thursday night, October 1, one night stand. Mrs. H. Brooks had quite a success in her seismic business while in Baltimore, and is now in Washington, D. C. with her husband, visiting his aunt, Mrs. Susan Traitt, at 931 Florida avenue N. W. Washington, D. C. Miss Mamie Jackson, of Washington, D. C. has in choreography a number of new videos she will feature around the vaudeville houses. This talented singer possesses a voice of remarkable range. She will feature New York's big hit, "If All My Dreams Were Made of Gold." Chamberlin's Alabama Minstrels have one more week in Birmingham, Ala., when they start on the road for the winter. Charlie Anderson, a good character, recently joined the band Miss Barnie Bell, leading lady and sweet singer, and Bille %eak, a favorite, are members. Kelly Davis left Washington, D. C. Monday, after playing successfully at the vaudeville houses. They will be a feature in the act of twenty-five people which is now rehearsing in New York City. Will Macron Cook and Alex. Rogers, both directors and Jesse A. Shipn stared the act. Harry Brooks has closed two successful weeks at Daly's Theater, in Baltimore Md., where he more than made a bit and pleased the audiences, perform- ers, and Brooks opened on the 16th at the Chelia Theater, Washington, D. C., having a return date. Best wishes to all performers and friends. "Kins" Holbert, the happy monologist, who played the Crown Garden Theater week before last, was in the city this week on a lay-off mingling with friends he had made on his recent visit. The comedian is booked to appear in Lous- san week. He sends regards to all friends both in and out of the profession. Frank Kirk, the well-known musical tramp, is filling the week of the 16th with Tessell's road show, playing one- stalk stands in Michigan; week of 23, Waukegan, III; week of 30th, Monor- gam Theater; week of November 6, the friends to play in and out of Chicago as long as it lasts, then back to the brush. Last week we had the Barnum & Baily circus, George Evans, Honey Boy minstrels, Al G. Fields' minstrels, with the Alabama state fair going on at the same time and aside from that several vaudeville and moving picture houses, were running full blast in Birmingham, Ala. The Fugley Sisters, the concert masters, were playing every night at the different churches, doing an exceedingly good business. AT THE THEATERS IN INDIANAPOLIS—THE CROWN GARDEN'S NEW DECORATIONS A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN THE APPEARANCE OF THE HOUSE. PROGRAMME OF THE WEEK. Crown Garden.....Polite Vaudeville B. F. Keith's.....High-Class Vaudeville Park Theater. The Dawn of a Tomorrow (Polly of the Circus) New Colonial.....Powell's Stock Co. (In "College Life," with music) Empire Theater.....Burlesque At the Crown Garden The decorations of the Crown Garden make the house appear as spry as a pauper in his new Sunday suit. It is wonderful what a transformation just small effort will bring about in the manner of decorating the interior of a theater. The Crown Garden Monday night were amazed at the almost magical change which the place and undergone since they had left it only night before (Sunday). The expenditure of the new decorations were warranted since the change lastly taken on a new lobby, etc., it to be hoped that in time Indianapolis will finally be able to boast of a perfect ashy room, if not a "Theater Beautiful." The extent of the people who are picking up noticeably, it strange that, unlike most cities, Indianapolis has been slow in awakening, far as the whites are concerned, to the merits of a real colored theater. It is surprising, now that the vogue of the theater is published, to see soon the whites flock- ing to the Crown Garden in great numbers. The Pekin at Chicago had a similar experience during the second and third years of its running. The novelty, however, had its wear off in the succeeding years of the theater's existence without any apparent cause. We trust the patronage of the Crown Garden Theater will not only endure, but than that of the Pekin at Chicago, but as time goes on will increase as well. WITH SINGING, TALKING and DANCING. 15 MINS. FULL STAGE. The Kentucky Trio—two men and a woman were on the bill and were well received by the audience. Several selections on the cornet were rendered by one of the men andady the act to big acknowledgments. The trio canasting and dance. They got away with their full share of applause. The act belongs in the East. "Chicken Reel" Beamam MONO 010T 12 MINS, in "ONE.", "Chicken Reed" Beaman, who was extensively reviewed in this column last week, was with us again in a brand new story, and with the matchless story-telling. His prolificness a joke-producer was amply demonstrated and not once through his long discourse did he repeat or hand over a single yarn to the audience. The breadth of week. The fecundity of this new-found jokesmith is causing many to wonder at his almost exhaustless supply of humor. One intuitively falls to thinking of the audience as the body weave into the threads of a musical show. We should not be surprised ere long to find this promising young chap's name at the head of some program anthologies, but we are in a first-class musical comedy. By way of breaking or relieving his story-telling he introduced his fake cornet solo stunt, which went with a vim. He hand-raised the comedy "William" his first hit, "Constantly," and got away amid tremendous anthouse aplause with his funny dances at the conclusion of the song. He is booked in Chicago next week. GRIFFIN SISTERS, SINGING and TALKING, 20 MINS. IN "ONE" and FULL STAGE. The Griffin Sisters, whose excellent work was spoken of rather favorably in our last issue, was a hold-over number. The management made no mistake, as they were quite as big a noise in the room as the audience. They offered last week. Everything down to the minutest suggestion was entirely new. At the opening both of the girls appeared in male attire. Emma, essaying quite a deal out of her comedy, while Mabel made a dashing "streight." As exponents of sidewalk conversation these two young women are setting a rapid pace. The amazing thing about them is that they are all unlikeness and unlikeness of all they do to the same kind of stuff dished out by others. The sisters are ambitious and have already expressed a desire to have a show in the next week. Future will be realized if they keep up their present clip in the art of producing. The team has purchased the song, "I Want Somebody to Kiss," from its author, Mr. Russell Smith, with a reservation. Emma Griffin of the team set right out to popularize her new acquisition and as a result of her singing it the first night she has set all Indianapolis whistling and humming it. Another of the girls, Emma Griffin of the team set right out of the Road to Monterey, by Mabel Griffin. She costumed the number in Mexican garb and put around it a locale of the city where the audience received number was undoubtedly the "Colored Romeo" song. In this number she was assisted by her sister replying to her, coming through the audience and May Adams! As burlesque queens neither of these two has anything on Mabel Griffin singing this song or dressing it in the well-re remembered tights and burlesque queens of a decade ago. The same dainty "business" with which she veered her song offerings of last week were common throughout her numbers of this week and the "yellage" accompanying the dancers of the burlesque queens of a decade ago. The same dainty "business" with which she veered her song offerings of last week were common throughout her numbers of this week and the "yellage" accompanying the dancers of the people's approval. Other songs rendered were: "When Teddy Marching Home," "That Todello Tune" and "My Little Mademoiselle" she ate good food there to Philadelphia and to the week's "burlesque letters addressed to the Auditorium Theater will reach them. 10 MINS. FULL STAGE. For the first time before a colored audience Arthur Maxwell made his appearance at the Crown Garden. The act was reviewed last week on the occasion of the Gala at the Theater, a white house of this city, booked by Gus Sun. By special arrangement Mr. Maxwell was allowed to play the Crown Garden. His act was well received and some of his eats prompted the best flattering aplause. His was the first bicycle act that ever played the house and they seemed to take to it like ducks to a pond. Mr. Maxwell allowed them to forage, but accepted his work with a vim and dexterity that fairly took them off their feet. Harper, Perkins and Stewart. 15 MINS. FULL STAGE Billy Harper, Alberta Perkins and "Dink" Stewart were with us again in another brand new sketch called "Advertising for a Cook." was ex-actually funny runoff for a follow after round of applause. The text of the farce has to do with an advertisement for a cook by a lady of wealth and refinement. The advertisement is responded to by two colored women, in front of a large mirror immediately upon arriving at the home of the lady, begin "knocking" each other in a frantic effort to land the job. Around this situation is built the comedy of the two women, who do not allow a single opportunity to escape them out of which the least bit of humor might be extracted. In some places the work of the two comedians resembled very much that of McIntyre (Heath) and Perkins (Mindy) my mind whether or not, with a few weeks' practice doing the character of wenches, these famous comedians could skin Harper and Stewart in this line of their great song success again this week "Can You Beat It?" B. F. Keith's Grand Opera House. "The Photo Shop," billed as the headline attraction at the Grand Opera House, was rather "sad" to occupy such an enviable position on the program, in which she was the only woman and laid away to mold and rot among the other fizzies of stageland. Bert Fitzgibbon, a comedian of real merit instrumentalists, were the only factors on the bill really worth while. The stories of Edna Aug, a vaudeville star of national repute, barely got by. Her role in the film of her sex can not, he gainsaid, but THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER judging from the stuff she handed over Monday afternoon she would profit massively from the new technology something new and not try to force the same jokes she used almost upon her initial appearance as a comedienne. How long ago has this been? Go ask New Colonial. The Holton Powell Company at the Colonial Theater has caught the town and on every hand is heard the statement: "The best stock company ever in Indianapolis." During the week big houses were in constant attendance to laugh at Mr. Powell and his players in his original comedy, with music, called "College Life." Next week the company will be seen in the roaring farce, "The Morning After." The comedy elements in this piece are very strong and all lovers of a good, hearty laugh should not fail to see this show. The management of the New Colonial desires to state that the colored patronage is sought for. No restrictions as to any certain section of the balcony are made. Every courtesy is extended at all times. A feature is made of a ten-cent matinee every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Any seat in the house anywhere, 10 cents. The night scale during Mr. Powell's season is 10, 20 and 30 cents. All seats reserved. The Empire Theater. The Jardin de Paris Girls, one of Tom Miner's shows in the western burlesque wheel, is holding forth at the Empire this week. It is one of the best seen at this house this season. A bunch of girls give to the big ensembles a sprightness of beauty and action that is captivating indeed. There is no oloo, but instead the two burlettas are extended and the girls give to the village numbers in the body politic of the afterpiece. Miss Cora Livingstone, the female wrestler, is an added attraction and she is meeting all comers of her sex. This is proving quite a povetty at the world's series, scores of the world's series are announced at each performance from the stage. At the Park—Polly of the Circus At the Park—Polly of the Circus. The attraction at the Park for the first three days of the week was "Polly of the Circus life," embodying its joys as well as its sorrows, one is inevitably carried back to his childhood's love for the sawdust arena. Going with Polly of the Circus life, embodying stances which crowd themselves into her life after her enforced retirement from the circus ring, the result of an accident as a circus rider, one cannot help being benefited by the wholesome sarasine and the warm, sunny seasons that this popular play has been seen in the smaller houses. In its broadway premier "Polly of the Circus" enjoyed a run of more than a year at one house and all the present mountings are to see and all the present perennials used in the Broadway production. J. D. HOWARD CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW "Tallaboo" Continues to Draw at Motts' Pekin Theater—Arthur H. Dunham and Fanny Hall Clint Shine—A. Lincoln Harris and Nellie Stone Lane Return to the Cast. (By Sylvester Russell.) That the drawing power of "Tallaboo" is wonderful to behold was again demonstrated last Monday evening, when the play with the original cast opened to a house. Lincoln Harris and Neil Stone, a networked Nell Hutchinson, Mr. Harper and Mrs. Lacy were fully at home in their well-chosen parts. There were two soloists in the college scene. Madam Hutchinson sang a melancholy slurring of her vowels and consonants are faulty, her voice is a soprano of beauty and range and her trilling was remarkably full, rich and perfect. Mrs. E. L. Dunham, a mezzo-soprano-conductor, has a appearance as a soloist, singing "Bobolow" for an encore she sang "I For I forget," much too SADHARAN ALIA JABO slow, but it made a hit on its popularity, as a vocalist Mrs. Dunham lacks training, and while her voice is limited in upper-tone volume, it is nevertheless very sweet. If we are to speak of being Dunham as again the hit of the evening in his easy way and original comedy, so well written in his favor by the author, Fanny Hall Clint was also a glorious triumph in dramatic art, as was Nellie Stone one as Tallahassee with D. O. Fortson continues to improve and improve theater. The orchestra, including a trombone solo by George Bailey, was all that could be desired. The Too Sweets Share Honors With Owsley and Bowman at the Monogram Theater. The Two Sweets gave us a new act and a new surprise at the Monogram last Monday, beginning for a second week's run. At Sweet's new talk and dialogue was clever, but he has taken to neck-bone speeches that appeal to colored audiences and sang a neckbone song. But "Willie"—I call him Bill—Sweet will do, and his wife, the little fawn, is a little peek-a-boo. Tim Owsley sang "Your Conscience Should Always Be Your Guide," which won favor, and Bowman, with his high, exquisite tenor, sang "If I Forget" very well, even if without signs of voice culture. Their act as a whole was very legitimate and very good. Mitchell and Brady have returned to us as favorites. Miss Mitchell was decidedly ventertaining in her eccentricities of domestic art, and Miss Brady sang "I am a chauffeur" which was quite common of delicious charm. Her whole character must sit up and take notice. Lulu Hooker was a newcomer, who appeared in singing specialties. As a whole the acts provided were remarkably clever and strong and should draw large houses. The orchestra was in excellent form, due to the able leadership of Will Dorsey. Mr. Scott, the clarionet player, has been retained. Large houses were the rule at every performance. Allie Gillam and wife and Charles Williams and wife were the headliners in every sense at the New Grand last Monday evening. Every ounce of their dia- logue was new and original as well as legitimate. Their wives as a sister team did excellent work. Lizzie B. Raymond, the headliner in vaudeville in every land, the comedy queen, who carried a maid and a bride, the highest salary paid to charming girls, and the wife who first sang "She Was Happy Till She Met You." alas, is now old and forgetful, with a young girl partner, Lillian McNeil, in a colored theater. This I give as a moral for white actors. It would have been far better for Miss Raymond to see she had money long years ago. Poet Brion B. McNeil made some fun. Madeline Sack pleaded the violin cleverly and Irwin and Herzog were good singers. This concluded all-white acts but one. The orchestra had a new book by Kincade, a clarinet player from Indianapolis. It is rumored that the Western Vaudeville Association is to book the attractions for this house, but as this book was covered by catering to white audiences, the extent of covered bookings is a problem that will be solved by the people. The Phoenix Holds Its Own. Everything indicates that the Phoenix will be able to hold its own with continuous patronage. The entire house and up at an early hour Monday evening and the last evening at the dance. There was a splendid display of pictures stories. Miss Hattie May Patten is now singing the illustrated songs, "Why Must We Part?" was the special song number for that evening. "The Bogus Prince of Hayt!" is probably to have a revival at the Pekin Theater. A Lincoln Harris, its author, and three were both to return to the cast in "Tallaboo," according to report, last week. --- Joe Sandifer was married September 27 at Louisville, Ky. to Miss Willmuth Jones, a non-professional, of that city. The popular comedian wants all the world to know that he is now a legitimate man. George Bailey's Band, which supplied the music on Field Day, consisted of G. Bailey, leader and trombone; Sam Burns, drummer; Jerry Berry, bassist; like trombone; W. Kelly also; Harry Johnson, cornet; J. Jones and LeRoy Bradshaw, drums. Ora Criswell opens at Frank Crowd's Globe Theater, Jacksonville, Fla., October 16, for six weeks, with Philadelphia and New York to follow. Mrs. Criswell-Webb is to join her husband when she returns East. The Samoan Girls have arrived in the city from the State of Michigan. Miss Helen Goodman met with considerable favor in her Indian specialties. W. M. Thomas has taken the eRomania Buffet, 3759 State street. Mr. Thomas was formerly an actor of the team of the movie "The Man that opened the Elite and later had the Kentucky Club. He is to entertain the Goats on Wednesday evening, October 25, 1911. Fiddler and Shelton were headliners over all the white acts at Wilson Avenue Theater. They were also pictured in the Evening American. The Hillmans, who played the lead roles, were also pictured. I was amazed a couple of weeks ago at Mr. Hillman's extravagance when he hired an automobile to take his children home out of the rain. He would do it. I agreed with his wife, but did not speak up for fear of queering the automobile man's business. The Musicians' Protective Association will give its twelfth annual ball at Masonic Temple, Fortieth and State streets, Monday, October 23. The committee of musicians, E. D. Fuff Arment, Benj. B. Covington, Geo Bailey and R. E. Stokes. Jerry Mills failed to make good in his first performance with Black Patti's Comedy Company recently and had to retire. Although Mr. Mills staged the show, Johnson had to be engaged revise and restage some of the singing numbers. Wise and Milton left Sunday evening for San Francisco, Cal., where they will appear for six weeks. Their act will be known as the Five Bownies, and will be presented by the Bownies, George Mabel De Heard. Hen Wise has engaged Allie Gilliam and wife, Charles Williams and wife and Harris Brothers, and will be presenting musical artists, who will leave for the coast at once. Mr. and Mrs. Gillam are in mourning over the loss of their little brother, and the Kinky Doo Trio, prima donna, is to join the company of Trisco six weeks later, to be immediately followed by Master Bobby, acrobatic buck dancer, and the Kinky Doo Trio, company, which opens at Honolulu in December, after which time the troupe will sail for Australia. Mr. Wise informs me that he is the first man appointed Robert T. Motts to build the old Pekin Theater, and also states that he was the organizer of the Great Lakes Order of Elks Lodge. Mr. Wise and the other members of the organization of bidding all their friends a America good-bye are they leave for Australia, thousands of fmiles away. No sooner had the news spread that All Jabo's Company of Hindoo Wonders had been offered an enormous salary for an engagement, the Chester Cunningham, manager of the Hindooos, was immediately besieged by large offers out of town. It is said on good authority that the troupe, whose houses, will leave immediately for Louisville, Ky., and then for Cincinnati for the next week. Manager Martin Klein, the manager immediately sent for manager Cunningham to clinch the Hindooos at once for their first South Side engagement on State street. It is no mistaken definitely that the Monogram Theater for one week only beginning November 6, 1911. Both Manager Klein and your correspondent, who drew possibilities of these curious people, have taken sudden journeys down town to see the act. It is expected that the troupe will be in enormous numbers when the Hindoo Wonders of Calcutta, India, arrive. ORPHEUM THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA. We are playing to packed houses every night. We have a strong bill on this week, as follows: McNell and McNell, those classy entertainers; then follows Joe Wynn, the old house avon and telephone man, coon shouter, and Walter Bragsdale, the cure for blues, followed by Steward and Watkins, a spicy team, I reckon*. We have on a good bill from start to finish. Mr. McNell, our able manager, spares no pain in putting on the shows that will please the people. LETTER LIST. Prince, Arthur L. Perdie, David.

Owsley. When a man is doing or has done something for the good of the theatrical profession, that man has a right to express his public opinion concerning the work of others, but watch the work of others who are trying to be their successful or not, has no right to say anything. There was a time when criticism was honest, so far as the ability of the critic went, but now it has become a playing a player to right himself, if he was wrong, and improve, if he was right; but now days the actor has to tolerate the criticism of some one who knows the critic, he speaks to the actor or an actor or one person has assessed the criticism of such men as Cary Lewis, R. W. Thompson, J. D. Howard, Sylvester Russell, Lester Walton, Wm. Lewis, R. W. Thompson, J. D. Howard, it can be said that act, the play or the actor is not the goods? When those bright newspaper men have said they were O. K. I read the Freeman each week and I have read the Freeman each week think each article that appears in its professional page should be as near correct as possible. Because it is distributed among thousands of readers, and has been published in a gro paper in the world. Each week I notice a write-up theatrically from Louisville, Ky., written by a stage manager under the name of George Slaughter, director, and many a poor act a big send-off, all because he personally or mercenarily cannot agree with them. We are all by Freeman because the Freeman is with us and we are with The Freeman, but— Some of these criticisms are so manifestly unfair that even the casual readiness of the team and the team would suggest that the stage manager of whom I speak, be allowed to see that his curtain goes up on time and have his props ready for the acts that play on the stage. A vaudeville stage manager's duties are far much different from a road show or a stock show. A vaudeville stage manager is a stage carpenter on the above shows; if each of us but stay in our place, Oh, how much we would help our race. A stage manager's Price or Mr. Harris write up the show; if they are too busy, "Let George do it." NOTES FROM PROF. EPH WIL LIAMS' BIG CITY MINSTRELS AND JOLLY ETHIOPIANS.

But where Mr. Watts really shines is in that intensely funny act with his partner, Charles A. Burton, who is a former player for men on the stage. With Burton and Watts added to our already suberb olio, we are ready to meet all comers, but they must weigh in at 8:30 p. m. John A. Watts, the grand old man of minstrelsy, is accorded a reception each time he appears. His name sends the house into tumult, plause. His "Silver Threads," is a hit always when sang by Mr. Watts. Watts is a graduate of Clarence Powell baseball team closed its season on the 18th. The boys divided a neat sum.

Dr. Jordan reports that colored Baptists own real estate in West, South and Central Africa, South America and the West Indies, for school and church purposes, amounting to $40,000. According to records colored people in Texas own and pay taxes on $30,000,000 worth of property. In 1900 the colored Baptist community taxed on 70,000 farms; during the last ten years they have bought 4,000 additional farms. For the first time in more than twenty-five years Nashville has elected a Negro city councilman, Dr. S. P. Harris. One of the last Negro councilmen was J. C. Napier, now register of the United States treasury. Harris was running in opposition to the Democratic primary nominee. --- Last year the colored people raised in Texas about 465,000 bales of cotton, valued at about $32,000,000; they raised 15,000,000 bushels of corn, valued at about $10,000,000; they say the colored people in Texas got their farm products of all kinds about $40,000,000. It is safe to say further, that colored people living by other forms of occupation than farming, earned about $10,000,000 earnings in Texas for our race about $50,000,000.—Booker T. Washington. One year in prison and a fine of $100 against each of them formed the penalties imposed by United States District Judge Cotterill, at End, Okla. upon J. J. Reall and Frank Dunn, state election inspectors convicted of conspiracy to disobey a law or to纵容 it in a congressional election in 1910. The men were released on $2,000 bonds pending an appeal to the United States circuit court, the case involved the so-called "grandfather clause" of the Oklahoma statutes. The Rev. Augustine Tolton was the first colored Catholic priest ordained for the United States, Father Augustine Tolton, a native of New York, April 1854. His parents were Peter Tolton and Martha Chisley. The family moved to Quincy, Ill., in 1861. Augustine Tolton was a Franciscan College. By the assistance of the pastor of St. Peter's, Father McGirr, and the Francisans, he was sent to the Franciscan College, the famed Propaganda College. Ordained a priest, he returned to Quincy in 1887. On November 28, 1889, he took charge of the first Francisans of Chicago, holding his first church at St. Mary's church. Through the donation of $10,000 from a Mrs. Anne O'Neill, he was enabled to erect St. Monica's church, a memorial of which he was pastor until his death from sunstroke, on July 9, 1897.

LONDON, Eng. —According to a report from London there is a possibility of champion Jack Johnson and Bomber Wells coming together in Paris in the near future. French promoters it is said are endowing to arrange a match between two favorites of course Wells coming together will fight if the purse is sufficient size to suit him. Wells anxious to meet the champion, for seems to have an idea that he can win him. Wells is said to be best annotated because of the action of the Engleman in presenting the fight in JEANNETTE GETS HIS WISH. To Meet Langford in Twenty Rounds on the Coast Joanette, the Negro heavyweight of Union Hill, N. J., and sam Langford, the dragged one, will battle twenty-round bout in the Angeles some time in November. The match is sure to attract attention, and plionion varies on the probable outcome. McKenrick, manager of Joanette, said the other night: "The match which Joan has always looked for has been the world who can lick Langford it is Joanette. Sam has outpointed Joanette in short bouts, but over a minute-you can note the words and a face that Joanette will win in the coming contest." TONEY CAPONI NO MATCH FOR SAM LANGFORD. NEW YORK—Toney Caponi, the Italian heavy-weight, was convinced that he had no business with Sam Langford, the "Boston Tar Baby," at the Twempo, after playing with the Italian two rounds, cut loose in the third with the kind of punches that have beaten all corners. Caponi could have been beaten with his usual solicitude for the crowd, let him stay. Tiring of this in the second round, Langford knocked. Caponi down, but the crowd was still on his feet from putting on the finishing touches. When Caponi had been punched all over the ring in the third round, which lasted for about 10 seconds, the scrape was stopped by Referee Charley White, whereupon Langford left the ring grinning from ear to ear. Caponi looked gratefully at the referee for his extremity. He will not be playing Baby again. First Round—Caponi began dances around, throwing in light lefts until the ball came back. Langford grinned as he jabbed the Italian with comparatively light rib resters. Caponi, still moving around, kicked the ball back to the nose and Langford then drove him to ropes where the Chicago man blocked several punches for the head. Langford had the round. Second round—Langford very easily blocked half a dozen short lefts. Caponi refused to stand still even for a second and the Tari Baby began to press against the ball then drove a hard swing; and then he got on he stopped a book for the jaw. Langford laughed as he followed the white man around. Then suddenly he led with the right foot to the side of the head. Caponi went down for the count of nine and was croogy when he arose. Langford then him away, but the bell banged the Italian. Third Round—Caponi sprinted around the edge of the ring for a moment. Lancorf chased him and with a right arm, he ran back to the center, up. Caponi was a punishing bag, The Tar Baby hammered him in the ribs, stomach and face until Caponi did not know where the punches were coming from. Lancorf had no use. Lancorf had him beaten to a standstill when the referee stepped between the men and saved Caponi from an inevitable knockout. Lancorf had him standalong bout Satorl. Tiel of the battleship Connecticut stopped G. Stucke, of this city, in the fourth round. Tiel was knocked down three times in the first two rounds but his arm was firmly and gradually beat his antagonist. BROKE OR NOT BROKE? That's the Question—Is Johnson Up Against it? By Billy.

I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, failing memory and lame back, drains, or the follies excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies excesses, unnatural drains so many worm and nervous men their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and should have a copy.

Mammy told her, "Arthur is not even bent; but she is so bent you know, that it may be she sees only one side of her famous son, and sees it love. He loves plus that of her race—a pretty strong woman. Ever, she puts it on strong when she that he has $150,000 stuck away in various places. He doesn't stand to reason that Johnson has much money as his mother thinks, but ought to have a great big wad somewhere, hasn't he doesn't deserve any sympathy. Johnson has spent big money; it is plain to see. That fact means much more to him, that spends it than to those looking on. He has said that if your closest account sets your expenses down at $500 per month, are spending not less than $1,000. When did you spend within the appropriation? Johnson was making good money in the states with his exhibitions; enough to keep him and his family alone some exhibiting, style. It is safe to say, how much it took every bit of it, and perhaps just a little more. Over on the other side he also done some exhibiting, but they have such a chance to pay money—by contrast—Jack has found that out; he has done some tall talking haste and of which he will repent at least once. The chances are that just as soon as he can come home decently, that is, gracefully, after his big talk about Europe, he has to be doing so. He, without doubt, has been over social time, so Jack is paying the fiddler. Is the game worth the candle? Jack has much collateral—diamonds, galore, gold, watches and valuables of various kinds, including an automobile mirror, a watch, and a couple to turn these in on account; but if he does, and when he does it is likely to be good-bye unless he wins them back by pounding Langford, Jeannette, Lang, and Marge measure 4000 or some such illusion sight. Uneasy rests the head that wears the crown. Uneasy in some particulars, he is not as competent in theCIAL disaster owing to his very distinction. Was there ever such another case? Well, let's see, there was Alexander, son of Philip of Macedon, who, in his youth, was a compulsive father will leave nothing to do". His old man was a mighty scraper, as one will readily see, and the boy took right after him. Alexander found much to love, and he would like Jack Johnson, with the world whipped, leaving him most truly with nothing to do. Johnson runs the risk, and he is not considerable, hopes of a substantial jackpot in sight. He had up a $1,000 forfeit on the London fight. He drew it down hastily; expressed his desire to be considerable as if he was pleased to know that he could lay hands on it. Then too, it is thought, that Johnson went a rather merry clip, owing to his prospective and prospective, engendering long as the moral law. They aggregated some $500,000; quite enough to turn a king's head, and to speak to a mere man, added to the usual successful sports and "culldug gemmens" at that, means going some. But Johnson spent in this time his Recon wad unless he wontonly gave it away. I means, I think, that Johnson has made some serious excursions, and to owing, of course, before stated his pects. It stands to reason that he will not listen longer to the siren voice of the soft-handed gentry, to resolve to the first, last and all the time-"Show me." Johnson does not need to go broke? He can by judicious management, keep up expenses, giving exhibitions and such in event he fails to take on fighters that he cannot handle. He will not stale for many years. The time, perhaps, will never come when Jack Johnson can not draw bread by hand. He will not starve by show Jack Johnson. A tour through the section would suit hundreds of thousands who have only heard the Johnson name. He can not starve, if he will starve, if he will starve, if he will starve, or any one else to be planning his future. It is brighter than that of any Neerou in the world in spite of the great success of his career. 4000 per year at a minimum, with excellent prospects of seeing this sum increased several times. Reno fixed Jack Johnson, but he that Adam Reno comes to unbind his ATHLETIC FIELD DAY At Schorling's American Giants Base ball Park—Illa Vincent Wins from Frank Ehrler. By Sylvester Russell. (Chicago Special.) Three big wrestling matches and field day sports for athletes was the program provided at Schorling's American Glants Baseball Park. Thursday, October 12, for the flight of Dearborn Center Day Nursery. Although the air was chilly, the day was warm and the setting of the sun did the field look gloomy, and even then the spectators were so wrought up with excitement over the wrestling matches that nobody was in a mood to realize that darkness The star attraction of the day was 11a Vincent, champion and undefeated colored wrestler of the world, of Cuban billion, who was the first to win many. When Vincent stepped into the mat enclosure he received a great ovation as he shook the hand of Frank Eshler, who weighed 220 pounds, while Vincent weighed only 200 pounds. The first time the master German thunderbolt, Vincent threw his man in nine minutes with a headlock flying fall. In the second clash Vincent, by a miscalculated count, was out, and the master was buried underneath the form of the burly Herculean German in six minutes. This was the first time that Vincent was out of the world, and the master and singularly enough the omen ill-luck was indicated in a sudden wave of fog from the lake, which swept across the platform during the encounter. When Vincent was out he had a heart and was after his man in a most ferocious fashion, and with his muscles all developed in convex form, like the interior of a ball. The master was not only a man, but an actor, who with Tom Lemonfer and Billy McCarver, had occupied the Russell box. Signor Hart was referee, and the master was the headlock. Two-x-ray censor, with a body and bar arm hold he threw his man in just nine minutes. Then Vincent, the hero of the hour, was carried bodily from the center of the table. The master, an actor, who with Tom Lemonfer and Billy McCarver, had occupied the Russell box. Signor Hart was referee, and the master was the headlock. The star attraction of the day was two matches were between Res-press, of the Douglas Center Athletic Club, and Webber, the rough-house German, resulting in a draw. The last, Joe McFarland, was the first to win the world. Swedish Lion, at 160, won by Ermentf. The attendance was not quite so large as had been expected, owing to the late-day lack of the support of a season, but the reason for that that the prices were too high. Beauregard F. Moseley, who was chief promoter of the undertaking, is the well-known lawyer and baseball magnate, who is the best-known player of the late-bred, cultivated gentlemen of his race. THE FREEMAN.

I like to talk of pleasant things That make one's spirit light; So, when some dearly gossip brings their story to the apache Some stale and dismal anecdote About a neighbor's faults, I straightway get that gossip's goat, And tell him he must waltz. "This life is short, my friend," I say, "For us por mortal skates. And we have some good way Has got some foolish traits; But every man, as you will find, If you should seeking start, Has some good qualities of mind, Some virtues in his heart. And, I have found it better far To help poor human jars To help the poor star, By giving words of praise. Than to discourage them and mock By saying bitter things; So, soak your head and take a walk In the street. On deck again! Get a business of your own, from which you cannot be fired." The average Negro talks entirely too much and travels too much. Up to this writing there have been "black-Handers" among the colored brethren. Booker T. Washington has sewed Texas up in a sack. It is his command. 'Tis well! What is the matter with John C. Dancy for commander of the colored troops in the field for the coming campa- gion? --- If it is true that no money is to be spent among "the boys" in the coming campaign, it will be tough on the professional "promoters." Cheap white adventurers should not be allowed to use Negro platforms as a forum upon which to abuse Negro leaders of worth and ability. Some of our prominent footlight favorites are finding that there is as much advertising in getting married as there is in getting a divorce. There is nothing in the rules that prevents a local business league from doing anything until time to elect delegates to the national convention. Florida gets the next "educational pilgrimage." M. M. Lewey will be conductor-in-chief, which is a sufficient guarantee that it will be the real thing. Brainless idiots who laugh at the serious scenes of a well-acted drama should be put out without ceremony. They are a nuisance that should be abated at once. --- Jack Johnson is not "broke." It was the penny-a-liner trying to "pull a story" to keep from getting broke, that that rumor on the confiding public. --- Unless all signs fail, the next chairman of the Republican National Committee will be the Hon. Charles D. Hilles, the tactful and energetic secretary to the President. * The Negro of this generation must stand upon his own feet. With an open door in business, education and the industries, the black man should be able to rise on his intrinsic merits. * The National Union at Washington describes one of the Boston Guardian's principal ailments as "New York-episoditis," and thinks Bret Trott should take something for it. * A "patriotic interest in public affairs" is not "pernicious political activity." Keep this in mind, civil service employees, during the approaching campaign, and you can't run afoul of the law. * --- The race would be better off if the race was to raise potatoes, hogs and hominy, instead of coming to the great cities and raising the thing Bob Ingersoll said did exist. --- The liberal preacher of today is finding that the theater is not necessarily next door to dammation. There are theaters and theaters—plays and plays. Education is bringing about a religious revolution. . . . The sensible Negro is not permitting himself to become excited over Prof. Boas' those that all of the Negroes will be white in a hundred years. All arrangements had better be made on the usual basis during our lifetime. Traveling fakirs are on their last lap with the newspaper men in the various metropolitan centers. There will be some exposes if they show up again on their old circuits. A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient. Have you read the latest report on conditions at Tuskegee Institute? If not, send to Dr. Washington for a copy, or making made for the current year is magnifying unsurpassed in the history of the school. The Negro is against the labor unions are against the Negro. The unions should "loosen him," and get him with man them, especially in the South. They will yet have the Negro skilled workman as their most dangerous competitor in the open market. Prohibition will make greater headway as a moral question than as a politic question. The experience have repeatedly proven this. It is an absolute impossibility to legislate religion into the soil of mankind or to conquer the man as a statute. As Dr. J. E. Shepard so wisely teaches, the man by religious teaching and reform his habits by educating him as to their evil results. There seems to be a disposition in some quarters to "pick on" Sylvester Russell unnecessarily. Russell is a man who does not change the man he hits the null somewhere near the head. Public men must learn to give and take. It is a part of the game. Dr. Arthur M. Brown, of Birmingham, Ala., one of the nation's most capable surgeons, regardless of section or color, has the inside track for the exact incidence of the National Medical Association. Meet him at Tuskegee Institute. --- The wisest leaders of the A. M. E. Zion Church are committed to the policy of "expansion." The sentiment for the election of at least three bishops to the Zion Church is to rank paying file o the Zion connection. New and active prelates will more than pay for themselves through the development of new soil—so that is not covered by any of the evangelical churches. Ground was recently broken for the new $50,000 John A. Andrew Memorial Hospital at Tuskegee Institute. Dr. John A. Kenney, the resident physician, will be the first faculty member inception of Freedmen's at Washington, Provident at Chicago, and Doughass at Philadelphia, will be the finest and best-equipped hospital for colored people in the United States, and teachers and students of Tuskegee Institute, but will provide provision for the colored people of the entire South, who cannot secure proper attention elsewhere. The Zion Church's hospital are wealthy Northern philanthropists, who decline to permit their names to be made known. CUBA, THE NEGRO'S LAND OF HOPE. By Charles Alexander Happiness is the chief object of human endeavor. Every man, of whatever race, high or low, rich or poor, young or old, is seeking happiness. All labor has the power to make a man hope that the reward will furnish means of obtaining happiness. He who points the way to happiness is a benefactor to his race. In this great, proximate power, he never tells his hopes; he hopes sometimes vaguely, sometimes unconsciously, for happiness, but the realization too frequently dawns upon him that the more he toils, the further out into the unlight and intellect of his humanity, the firmer his search for happiness, the less brilliant his future appears. After a very careful study of Cuba and its wonderful possigilities, and after a careful study of the island, from Boston, and a searching investigation of the Los Pinos farms, a tract of ten thousand acres within sixty miles of Havana, I am convinced that I will find the real service by sending forth this article. Cuba is an island republic of wonderful natural resources. It offers great and varied opportunities to intelligent and industrial colored men of the United States. At the present time, at least, there is no color question, no color line, in the republic. Race prejudice, discrimination in public places, segregation and proscription are not encountered by colored men in Cuba. The climate of the island is congenial to the temperature ranging from 65 to 88°C, a larger part of the year. Indeed, Cpba is in raelity the land of "perpetual June." This island presents unusual chances to our people—it is a land of golden opportunities right within easy reach. The island is 780 miles long and 100 miles wide. It has an area of 44,000 square miles. Since the Spanish-American war, the natives were destroyed, sanitary conditions have been greatly improved, good roads have been built and no unauthorized settlers on the island. The island is now one of the healthiest spots on the face of the globe, and is destined to become one of the great winter resorts for people of all ages. The island is the most of January, February and March. I am told, Havanna is as gay as Paris or New York. The Prado, Central Park and such other public parks are beautiful and Sevilla are crowded with brilliantly jeweled ladies and gentlemen from all parts of the world. The habitable climate and rich soil, Cuba is exceptionally well adapted to agriculture. The apparent backwardness of the natives in the cultivation of sugar cane and the lack of people who have been attracted by the thousands to this island, the natives are gaining inspiration by the examples of the United States by these people from the United States. Peace prevails on the island. The railroad lines have been extended援建, and the bridges have brought into close touch with the larger and more thriving communities, and improved transportation facilities have opened up the way of progress and prosperity. The colonies, of hich there are many, have injected new blood into the republic and rendered the economy and industry richer and more developed. New highways have been constructed, ports improved, canals and wharves built, agricultural schools started all over the island. The great regarding factor in the development of Cuba, as far as I could see, is the scarcity of labor. The labor problem is the one big problem at this time. The farming can make an independent living the most favorable conditions in Cuba. There is no place in the world where his honest labor will bring larger profits. This joy greater personal liberty. This beautiful island is known in history as the "Pearl," or "Queen," of the Antilles; the更能-Faithful Isle,"—and it is all of this. There the air is soft, the waters refreshing, the fruits simply delicious, the flora a vertitable moving, turbulent riot where majestically, furnishing at eventide a fantastic fringing for the skyline in the distance. White men are getting rich in five to twelve years; the navy is the time for colored men to join their ranks and share their good fortune. There is plenty of room for ambitious and industrious men and women of my race. The navy's arms have been ten acre acres to be sold at the very low price of $33 per acre, and on easy payments.
