In point of efficiency, accuracy and efficiency, a large percentage of the men in the office are of a high grade of intelligence and character and so efficient have they proved themselves that promotions have been made and they are now new department. Accurate and Speedy. The greatest percentage of the employed are in the mailing division. This is where the bulk of mail is handled. Chicago has the largest mailing system in the country and the input reaches figures that are appalling. In the mailing division accuracy is at a premium, and so skilled are these collaborators.

Her parents were Owen and Minerva Breedlove. Reared on a farm until ten years of age, she was a “famous” man. She was the only woman who had ever been a “famous” man. She was left an orphan at the age of seven years, under the care of a sister and cruel brother-in-law. She married at the age of fourteen, in order to get a home. She was left a widow at the age of twenty-one, and the family moved to New York, where she lived for eighteen years. She reared and educated her daughter, enduring many hardships and much toil. In 1905 she discovered a remedy for the growing of her mother, a drug which had been fully on herself and family, she decided to make a business of it. July 19, 1905, she left St. Louis, Mo., for Denver, Colo., and was a “famous” man. After the death of her mother, she was finally was able to convince the people at this place that she could really grow hair, and was successful in building up a fair business. January 3, 1906, she was married to C. J. Walker. After her marriage she became a “famous” man. She had been occupying, to more comfortable furnished rooms, where she continued her business at 2310 Cham-plain street. She remained in Denver a year. She became awakened to the needs of the “famous” man, and this discovery was regarded as one of the wonders of the world. As she had not thoroughly convinced the skeptical public in so short a time she decided to travel, she was again满足于 her husband’s husband, her husband and many patrons who said she would not be able to make her expenses from one town to another. However, she was determined and felt inspired to do so. Believing, as Christ con- city. He has a factory on Wentworth avenue and Thirty-sixth street. He employs a force of ten cigar makers.

"The turning loose of Ulrick was an awful blow to the race," said one of the leading men of Chicago, to the Freeman correspondent. "It was the worst of the past twenty-five years," said another, Dr. Washington is being roundly scored by the Chicago Negroes, and to what effect it will have one the sitting of the Negro Business League remains to be seen. . . . Editor Manning, of the Indianapolis World, is in the city and is stopping at the Keystone. Mr. Manning is one of the few people in the cage. He was very jubilant over the Y. M. C.

He said that his people raised more money than at any other time in the city and that they not only subscribed but His, she might convert the world by the wonderful good she would do her people. Hence on September 15, 1906, she started out, accompanied by her husband, to place her goods on the market; she having decided to make her work a success, notwithstanding he could see nothing ahead but failure. After a few months on the road, he became thoroughly convinced that her method was the right one. They travelled for a week, and she was the first time, the mail order business had so increased, that it was necessary for them to settle somewhere temporarily, so Pittsburgh, Pa., was selected for that purpose. After establishing a business there, she began to sell her goods to businessness there and began travelling again. February 10, 1910, she came to Indianapolis, Ind., and was so impressed with the city and the cordial welcome extended to her. She decided to return home. Since here she has purchased and paid for a beautiful home valued at ten thousand dollars ($10,000,000), adjoining which is a factory and laboratory, said to be the most complete of its knights in the United States. Her business is incorporated with a capital stock of $10,000,000, with an income of $1,000,00 per month, with Madam Walker as president.

AT THE NATIONAL CAPITAL Mattie Lomax will Not be Executed—Miss Davis in Star Dramatic Recital—Memorial for Justice Harlan. (Thompson's National News Bureau.) WASHINGTON, D. C., Nov. 8.—The New Howard Theater is prospering under the management of Mr. Andrew J. Thomas, who is a Washington boy, and putting on a high grade of vaudeville attractions, supplemented by photo plays of an educational and entertaining character. Notwithstanding sensational rumors that is responsible sources, Mr. Thomas is the hardest worker. His cash to any person who can prove that his representations are not true to the letter. Assertions to the contrary are regarded by him libelous, intended to injure his business investments and deliver a message. It is not unlikely that he will carry those into court who have industriously circulated the report that he is simply a stalking-horse for a prominent white businessman, and give the colored people's money under false pretenses. Mr. Thomas is justly indignant over the allegations, and is being urged by his friends to take such action. An evident attempt to break up his business. Men and women of standing and influence have promised to support Mr. Thomas; and no stone will be left unturned to give the colored people of his community a first-class place of amusement, unmolested by the envious, and free from the stains of the mischievous. New developments of the business he teaches the eye of the out-of-town readers. For the current week Manager Thomas is offering the famous Griffin Sisters in their novelty act; Albert Bowers, female monologist and comedian; the Majestic Duo, and three reels of photo plays. The orchestra of six pieces, under the direction of Mr. Alfred Ross, is a pleasing musical ensemble. Manager Thomas, the official roster of the Howard is: Rufus G. Byars, house manager; Florine M. Tyson, cashier; R. Clay, electrician; N. Worster, stage manager; N. Dorster, detective; George W. Taylor, advertising solicitor. The lady ushers are proving to be a success. Thanksgiving week the one, only and celebrated Alda Overton Walker, supported by a company of unusual quality and strength, is announced. Later will come Rosamund G. Grosvenor, Green House, Dark Rocks," Fiddler and Shelton, Abble Mitchell, Carita Day, Avery and Hart, and others of like note Public Printer Donnelly and the Unions. Public Printer Donnelly has shown the labor unions that he is a government official of backbone. He will not permit a private organization to superseize his functions as head of the Government Union. He has been berated unmercifully by the Bricklayers' Union and organized labor in general, because he would not draw the color line in the employment of bricklayers on a job at the great national printery. He has also allowed the professional agitators to roar to their hearts' content. The row has subsided now, for want of ammunition. The public printer is being scored as "disloyal to the labor unions" and has been standing flat on the record he has made in the recent disturbance. The story is familiar to most of the reading public. It happened this way: a Government Printing Office, Mr. Donnelly drew on the Civil Service Commission for an additional bricklayer. A colored man named John Moore was certified by the Civil Service Commission to work. The white bricklayers "struck," and told the public printer they could not work alongside a Negro. Mr. Donnelly could see no reason for an objection, and told the public printer that he man. The whites quit, and the black workman tolled alone. Then the happy thought struck the strikers. They, as an African-American, were competent, and gave that as their reason for quitting, and agreed to return to work if Moore should be put off. The public printer would not yield, and Moore was found and placed on the wall, the white men still out. Under a searching inquiry a flaw was discovered in Moore's civil service papers, which led to his displacement on the job, until now it is practically completed. The striking whites are "in bad," and will probably never recover their standing in the office, the meanest of warfare on Mr. Donnelly, and are threatening to ask the President to remove him from office, with the further threat of voting against the President. He dares the president to run mad. Of course, President Taft will not be moved by any such demagogic conduct. Moore may be reinstated in the service when Mr. Donnelly a chance to look thoroughly into his case. Mr. Donnelly stood upon the solid ground of right throughout the controversy. He could not have done otherwise and his dignity as an officer of the government. Public Printer Donnelly s a New York man of broad judgment and ample expe- rerence with all classes of people. He has no patience with foolishness when business is to be attended to. Discussing the bitterness of the union fight on him, Mr. Donnelly said to your correspondent, in part: "The incident which has been the cause of the resolutions attacking me was trifling, and ordinarily would have attracted no attention. The work had to be done, and the colored man (Moore) was available. To all intents and purposes he was qualified under the law. When the six union bricklayers struck because of the presence of a Moore, I was compelled to employ others. I was colored in a work, because the union had such rendered their places. They did their work well and were retained until the job was completed this week." "I am loyal to union principles, when they stand for protection and for fair play to all concerned. Negro bricklayers work side by side with white bricklayers in the Washington and other navy yards. I cannot see why, in the case of the work to be done at the Government Printing Office, the white bricklayers should explore an exception to be made in their favor. There are 400 Negro employees in the Government Printing Office. Colored persons work in the various departments side by side with other employees in harmony and with great efficiency." "I wish to declare with all emphasis" continued the public printer, "that any employee of this establishment, who tries to prejudice a public officer against race prejudice will be immediately dismissed and will not again be employed." In this many attitude Public Printer demanding sustained by the enlightened sentiment, the narrow policy of the labor organizations in denouncing him for doing his plain duty is meeting with universal condemnation with no interference with a government official, holds the dignity and authority of the United States against the encroachments of a would-be oligarchy, as Mr. Donnelly signa some in time of instance. The public printer is of the same stuff, and the President should find a hundred more like him, and give them the best offices at his disposal. The colored people return Mr. Donnelly a vote of his sturdy defense of human rights. Mattie Lomax Will Not Be Hanged. The Department of Justice has arranged to bring the case of Mattie Lomax to the President, and a reprieve will be asked until her petition for clemency can be given due consideration by the chief executive. Mrs. Lomax is under sentence to be hanged November 20, but as the President will not have time to examine the papers urging a commutation to life imprisonment, an extension will probably be granted until January. The woman is said to be in a dying condition—in the last stages of tuberculosis—and may not live until the date set for her execution. The District feeling is against putting a woman to death; and it is possible that the repugnance may grow so strong by reason of the present agitation that capital punishment here may be abolished altogether. Rev. Simon P. W. Drew deserves the lion's share of the credit for arousing public sentiment in behalf of Mrs. Lomax. Through his efforts the petition, bearing 50,000 names, was gotten together; and at his church have been held the meetings protesting against the hanging. Some of the most influential men in the country have spoken there. Miss Davis in Star Dramatic Recital. A large audience greeted Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis Friday evening at the Metropolitan M. E. Church. It was the first public appearance of Washington's favorite elocutionist since her return from a tour of Bermuda, and her work was accorded evidences of the warmest approval. Her repertoire ran the gamut of tragedy, comedy and pathos, and was expressed in a lively exclamations. He was embraced "Lasca;" "Dunbar's" "Speak Up, Ike;" the closet scene between "Hamlet" and his queen mother, and "The Fate of Virginia," by Macaulay, which was a triumph of heavy dramatic interpretation, assuming with terrible naturalness the part of "Virginius," the Roman father. Miss Davis was compelled to respond to numerous questions, and she is looking the picture of her death and her stage on the stage was a model of the modiste's art. Supporting Miss Davis were Prof. Joseph H. Douglass, the famous violinist, who also shared the honors of the evening; Miss Nonle Bailey, of New Orleans, a contralto, who is winning her way to the front; Mrs. Lucy Blagburn, the cultured mezzo-soprano, and Mr. William Braxley, the world-class pianist; and Miss Stampey, entertainment was under the direction of Lawyer J. H. Stewart, and netted quite a handsome sum for the trustees' fund. Miss Davis is endeavoring to assemble a company of competent artists for an early production, at the Howard Theater, of W. Edgar Easton's new emotional play, "Chamblon, the last salute given by exceptional opportunities for the display of her remarkable powers as a tragedienne. Memorial for Justice Harlan December 11 has been set apart for a city-wide memorial meeting in honor of the memory of the late Justice John Marshall Harlan, and the Metropolitan A. M. Marshall Court, in place. The 11th is the anniversary of Justice Harlan's appointment to the supreme bench. The committee on arrangements has elected John W. Cromwell as chairman; Shelby J. Davidson, secretary; and Daniel Murray, treasurer. Eminent members of the court hold dresses on the life, character and public service of the distinguished jurist. A New Hotel Planned for Washington. Mr. Nathaniel Ruffin, a well-known business man, is planning to establish a new hotel in Washington for colored patterns. He sees a demand for a first-class hostelry in the West End, no far behind the region. It is his purpose to form a company and purchase the Lexington apartment house at Twenty-first and L streets, N. W., and remodel it into a hotel of similar size and remodeling rooms and all necessary appearances. Papers have been drawn up, and the architect is already at work on the plans. A number of reliable business men are said to be interested in the process, but bears the ear-marks of success. The new hotel will be called "The Lexington." 2 Is it the higher the price the better the coal? Not always.

WILLIAMS CO., Glastonbury, Conn. --- A NEGRO BANK IN PENSACOLA, FLA. By Wm. L. Jones, Jr. A movement having for its object the establishment of a Negro bank in Pensacola is now under way here and the bank is now in the process of success. Wm. L. Jones, Jr., formerly of New York City, but now of Mobile, is in Pensacola and is attending the annual meeting of the organization of the bank. He promoted the Negro bank in Mobile which, frog mail reports, seems to be very successful there. In talking on the subject yesterday Jones "Civilized people everywhere readily admit that the Anglo-Saxon in material progress is what-not in literature, in literature and art. His achievements are the result of many and great sacrifices which make the mute more to be desired, maintained and simulated. The people the stander raised. Conditions must be met. The white man takes the lead and all else must follow. To deny the foregoing contention would but diminish the mental laws of evolution. So fixed and certain is its permanency and the means provided for the perpetuation of the present system of civilization that to deny the perpetrator only the perpetrator considered a miscreant of the deepest dye. Hence we fall in line and become the immediate recipients of its beneficent influences. The proof of the permanency of any systematic course of action is when it is founded upon the fundamental law of Causes and Effect, thus becoming an economics, Supply and Demand. "The embodiment of the highest elements of human endeavor are maintained in the creation, operation and maintenance of the religious educational and national character of the different species of racial elements hold to its peculiar identity and maintains the same just in proportion as it gives attention to the crystallization of its efforts to preserve the civilization of the former and knocher is past. Men to arms, men to action. The very spirit of present day obligations calls for real, stern and systematic action, while the is a cosmopolitan country, land of the tree, home of the pure and brave, its prowess over other countries in the science of commercialism and economics is due to its individual, racial and social character. All of these common interest is conserved, the destiny being one common destiny. Variety and sameness, the veritable antithesis of each other, but prove the sure and varying element of human endeavor. Therefore, it becomes highly necessary in order that there shall be no cloaking civilization the propriety of the Negro the chief factor to be reckoned with all American questions, shall do his part. The Pensacola and Escambia county Negro should be no exception. Until an idea is conceived and crystalized into an action, it will be a burden of the community in which they live. Therefore, it is now that the Negro of Escambia county should have a bank. No sensible individual debates at this stage of civilization should be based on that or that along progressive lines in a sane and conservative way. Hence the Negroes of Escambia county should have a bank owned, operated and controlled by them. No people can become a banker to fail to provide and maintain saving and banking institutions. The pessimist and knocker will see nothing but failure and disaster ahead. The optimist knows that constant effort and personal application along any given line are the sure and certain defenses of failure. "I hope the people of Pensacola and Escambia county will get ready for a Negro bank, because it is coming. And we have the men able to start and maintain it. The progressive and love-loving Negro is ready for the idea and to support the plan. Should you hear a Negro kick you may know that he is a tool for some race and he himself a veritable coward. "Colored people of Escambia county, arise, awake, the battle is on. We must have a bank, and work for bank, for bank we must have. The project is on and in a few days you shall know more about the bank." GRAND RAPIDS, MICH.

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 want to be alone before his children, by making home happy. Now, listen; if you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame de Pompadour never regret it. My husband was a drunkard, a run-about and around, a gambler, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let, live until all at once, after reading his book, and courage and let her hear from me. oday, I will say it is on a stair-steps of obles, I have a model man in every respect, I will praise the woman as long I have read to her, the woman, husband a man, a husband, a gentleman.

I went with a young man named John, who was a man of many were engaged and he would disappoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and we now form a family. I am so nice and kind to me. I told him a months ago of this advice and he would not agree with me until he lost his job, and then made up his mind and do you what you want. I will never regret it. I cannot help believing that she is sent of God to do just what she is doing, and you never hear her voice. I will visit her during the K of P. Supreme Lodge, and I never met a nicer lady. I am a Christian and a leader in a good man church clubs. I am a good friend of her. I fin her very uninteresting. I am, as ever, her friend, MRS. JOSIE T. M., To Whom It May Concern. I have always been one of those that did not understand the process 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 and I was not sure how to 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 cursed myself and now I come clear and put out of her hands. She let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in substance that we will pay and trust God, do you the work that I did 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, and was returned to jail woe and then free from the prison, and saying she is a power unknown, to help those who seek her aid? I am now doing business for myself and making good. I have done this for four months, and shall always divide my last dime with her. I am her friend at all times. Thousands are flocking to see this wonderful lady daily. Her powerful consultation when heeded has sent sunshine to the homes of all who called.

Kink-no- no-more will straighten the kninked kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not to stay one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor gobble else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a wonder worker. So marvelous does it work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not an other preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $10 for any head 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 move dandruff, promotes a luxurious growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more is not allowed a guarantee to do all the claimed tasks. We will send to any one on the receipt of $1 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one end to the other. Send registered letter, postal money or express money order.

Now in winter's chilly grip Maine in its final decision has concluded to stay dry. Had a time of it in reaching the conclusion. The safe and sane Hallowe'en was not as safe and sane as it might have been in other parts of the State. Mayor Shank is showing longheadedness again in standing up for Military Park as it is—a breathing spot for the common folk. The State of Florida has offered $5,000 as a reward for the apprehension of individuals that took part in the lynching of two Negroes last May. That sounds good and hopeful. It rained in New York on election day. According to the old saying Democracy should have triumphed. It was said that the State voted with 1912 in mind. It appears that it had Taft in mind. Evidently Mr. Taft means to be President at any cost. He insists on the enforcement of the laws regardless of what the nominating convention may do or what the people may do at the polls. The liquor situation in Maine has finally simplified and according as it is in many States. The people will be permitted through a constitutional amendment to decide what they care to have—liquor or otherwise. As we see it this move is in the interest of government by the people and not in the interest of liquor. Mr. Billy Sunday, the evangelist, drives a rather hard bargain. The Logansport people have been forced to guarantee $8,000 for his appearance in city as against $5,000, the amount offered Mr. Sunday. Wonder how much it will take to save a soul in Logansport. Verily, that city is sorely in need of spiritual assistance. In the year of 1619 according to history the negro made his avent on the American soil. He has suffered very much; he has also prospered and in all ways until he is the foremost of his kind. He is three hundred years in the advance of the bulk of his kinsmen in Africa. Something to think about, eh? Worth a memorial in 1919. The thousands of citizens regretted very much to learn of the death of Thomas Smith, colored fireman, who was killed in a collision with a street car last Wednesday morning. Old Tom, as he was familiarly known, was the first colored man in the service of the fire department. He was appointed in 1876. He was well loved by all who knew him. Why is the flesh of the watermelon red? Give it up. The Scientific American asks the question. It stumps the outfit. It sagely concludes an article of considerable length, which deals with all sorts of hypotheses and conjectures, all of which are dismissed with, "No science is more replete with problems for the future to solve than biology and physiology. Well, most of us, us colored people, 'don't care nothin' about the color scheme just so the art ain't lost." It is said that it is probable that never in the history of the world has a president of a country the size of Mexico ascended the seat of government in the face of greater opposition than that which confronted Madero, the newly chosen executive of the republic of Mexico. One is reminded of Abraham Lincoln, of our own country, who came almost by stealth to the presidential chair. It is said that bad beginnings mean good endings. It is not always true, but if the present Mexican President can make good like the President of the United States the effort to be President will be well worth the while. Mr. Charles Dewey Hilles, secretary to the President, believes he has in his possession a copy of the first poem ever written by James Whitcomb Riley the Hoosier poet. The poem, along with a circumstantial account of how Riley was impelled to write it, came in the White House mail the other day and has set the litterateurs hunting. The verses, which are dedicated to the memory of Hamilton J. Dunbar, who died in Greenfield, Ind., in 1875, are omitted from Riley's standard collections because of their strictly personal and local character. Mr. Hilles is a warm friend of Mr. Riley and prizes the poet's initial ef fort as a precious treasure. THE ELECTION THIS WEEK. Before the election last Tuesday it was thought that the result would to some extent determine the trend of thought as it concerns 1912, the year of the presidential campaign. From indications, however, the result has not spoken very emphatically either as it concerns Republican or Democratic prospects. In New York the tendency was decidedly in favor of the Republican party, and perhaps in favor of Mr. Taft for 1912. But Mr. Taft was martyred in his own home. Cincinnati saw fit to cast in the column of the Democrats and consequently he is demoted the most commonly encountered towns. The Republicans suffered in other of the larger cities of Ohio all of which could not be very enjoyable intelligence to the President. Governor Wilson, of New Jersey, had a simisar fate meted out to him. As chief candidate for nomination on the Democratic ticket his plight is not at all enviable. New Jersey chose to cast in the Republican column, not withstanding the good opinions entertained of him generally. The Governor was not the issue, true enough, and perhaps his principles were not directly on trial. But it stands to reason that Mr. Wilson feels himself hard hit in face of a campaign which had promised so much for him. Governor Harmon, of Ohio, as a presidential candidate for the Democratic ticket, as things go on the surface, has fared best of the candidates mentioned. Ohio stood up for Democracy as it did in the last election, making the candidacy of Governor Harmon at once logical from the viewpoint of the State, also formidable, and which doubtless will further attract attention to him. The lead that has been fairly conceded Governor Wilson will be very much impaired, if he is not fully overtaken by Governor Harmon. The election served to muddle things rather than clarify. Other States and localities kept close to their original lines, excepting, perhaps, Nebraska and Kansas, which seemed to have swapped columns. Maryland Republican will be considered surprising. The Socialist party did well, making itself unusually felt and winning important elections in several instances. As between the two great parties honors are nearly equal. Mr. Taft may regret the loss of his State, yet he has reason to be proud of New York, the keystone of States in national elections. Clearly, Mr. Wilson, of New Jersey, suffered more severely than either of the other two candidates viewed as presidential possibilities. CENTRALIA. ILL. Special to THE FREEMAN. Mr. Ed.

AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL President Taft in the City to Unveil the Monument of Lincoln—The Establishment of a Christian Church—West Virginia Institute to Play the Normal Institute Football—Personal and Social News. By Hardin Tolbert 425 Washington Street, Old Phone 654. The largest gathering of people that has ever assembled in this city was gathered together Wednesday, November 10, when President Taft arrived here. Thousand of people greet the President and his party and to witness the unveiling of the monument of Lincoln, and to hear the recollection of the Governor of the State. The capitol and the buildings were beautifully decorated. Many of the old slaves were present, eager to be the first to grasp the hand of the man. He was on far and near in spring wagons and on tric cars, for this is the first time in the history of the State that a President has been captive by coming to it. President Taft was welcome, and a standing invitation was extended to him to come again and as often as he liked it was the rst opportunity he had to take hand of a President of the United States and meet him face to face. The crowd was so large that Mr. Taft was limited in the city; and those who did not get to shake his hand will try and get the opportunity in Louisville. From time President Taft arrived in the city he met the President, "let me shake the President's hand!" Mr. Taft left carrying with him an urgent invitation to return. One of the most important duties of the people and to the Almighty was the establishing of a Christian Church. Rev. Scott M. Jameson, the newly ordained minister, was the head of this noble work and worthy cause. Rev. Jameson is a resident of this city, and one of those young men who has been working in the cause for the development of his people from his church, and who has called a conference of the citizens last Sunday afternoon at 315 Hill street, where a large crowd of people consented to take a part in establishing a Christian Church. There are members of other churches, as well as those who were members of the Christian Church, were present to take the leading part to help establish a church in this city of this denomination, where a broad old presents itself, there being old churches—two Baptist and one A. M. E. THE WO Rev. Jameson has got the consent of a large number of white citizens, that if the colored people would make the start of the war with the white people, noble cause. Letters of congratulation were sent by those that could not be present, and in many of them money was placed to help push the work along, in South Frankfort, in the building of the Grace M. E. Church. The West Virginia Institute and the Normal Institute football teams played the greatest game of the season, Friday, November 10, at the beautiful Glenwood Park.

A Review of a Remarkable Business Woman and her Brilliant Career Like a dream from the Orient, or better still, like a legend from some Egyptian city, where Ethiopian Queens in royalty might effort of the imagination fired by a belief in some unseen power, swayed and urged on and on by an invisible, yet potent force, of Madam J. Walker—her beginning, of Madam J. Walker and her ultimate success. You who read this will say that I have overdrawn the picture, have surrounded a simple life, but not so. See Madam J. Walker, but not so. See Madam J. Walker, the president and moving spirit of a now great corporation, catch from her lips the struggle against poverty, against environment, against others, her clash in the night with sophisticated ignorance, and worse still, a continuous fight against a prejudiced public, you will say that the half is not yet told. It is not for me, however, to disclose to the public the history of her life, for she has no authority so to do; that story will have no effect on her life; it is mine to speak in a general way of the beginning and life of a flourishing corporation. Six years ago Madam C. J. Moore came to mind and body, her down to sleep; she had worked, planned and experimented in a vain attempt to perfect a concoction that would promote the growth of her hair, and she had worked out, but to no avail; failure grinned in every corner, while around and about her were the wrecks of yesterday; I have never been able to sleep. Madam says that she dreamed a wonderful preparation, but the philosopher would call it the supreme effort of her life to tell you that intricate and haunting problems are solved during sleep. A great THE HOME OF THE MAYOR THE HOME OF THE MAYOR OF BROOKLYN RESIDENCE OF MADAM C. J.

Arising he only say that after tremors down, he would give the world the benefit of his dream, today that dream and in so doing immortalized his name, with arms reaching But call it a dream if you will. Did not the "Maid of Orleans" save France by the time she came to her while nesting in Morphila's sweet embrace? And have not great generals worked out tomorrow's maneuvers or dreams? I am of the conviction that the mind works best when the physical man is at low tide, for how else can we account for the brilliant speeches, and writings of the sweet singer, an invalid fro minkancy, sang best when nearest life's eternal brink. But this is a transgression. Madam O'Brien, Call it a dream if you will, say with her that a Divine Hand shot through the haze and gloom of sleep and pointed the way, or say if you prefer, that the sub-conjunction of land and there communed with the dismembered spirit of some Ethiopian Princess, who knew natural secrets, and who from her vast storehouse gave a recipe for the sweet hair, and this wanderer, returning, imparted its information to the conscious mind, and Madam awoke, and call it a woman of the tiniest leaf, looked down in pity upon the people from the land of shadows, and decided to restore them their lost birthright, to give them a woman in an instrument of His will.

When she does the above facts are the gibbarians that are strike against, and our well-planned waves of criticism are broken into a thousand sprays, which are caught up and sprayed by the burning rays of the sun of truth. I have said that six years ago this preparation came to Madam Walker in a dream; she tried it first upon herself, but then it became a living testimonial; and realizing that she found the one thing for every woman in the country, she moved to Denver, Col., where she hoped to put her wonderful discovery on the market. And right here she found the bank of the great Mississippi river kissed by the essed by her unresting waters, beneath the shadowing branches of the stately oak, the impressive cypress, garlanded in wild flowers, moss and running vines. She then found the bank of the river as we stand above that silent grave we can not help but drop a tear for the man who lost his life in quest of the "fountain of eternal youth." I interrupted myself away from the hope of being in Denver in the hope of plaque on the market. Do you get the connection. What comes more nearly restoring to woman the face and beauty of youth than a beautiful head of hair? I am thinking that in Madam Walker's preface I promise women the mountain of youth for women. I have said that it is not for me to tell of her early struggles, of course the pub she had her as a torture nummer but, but her as a torture nummer determined mind, and having written moved on. She could not, she did not give up, and right here it us not supposed to. Mr. Adrian was in location, experience and counsel, was ever ovey the Madam's sider a competent pilot authority an inocent in sea. Would I find his authority an inocent in sea? The tortuous road that it was hers to travel; would I could picture to you the heart-aches that entered into the war and woof of that intensely human drama, but of that it is not mine to speak, I only say that after six years of hard fighting, she won her Waterloo Award. And today that dream is a great corporate learning, and that is like so many learning tendrils to every state in the Union, offering to womankind, and especially to her own great sisterhood, a calm that will make her indeed what she was and is. tended to be. "Heaven's Master," she said, "is a great corporate learning, and a great corporate vision. These being spring into existence. Heine has started out with a few sour fruits, the skeptic branded him a fool, now his life, the life of the man who is the man of the time. Such is the case with many more enterprises of a more recent day, a Madam C. J. of a well-known company. (In-corporate, she has agents in every state in the Union. A fore-woman, book-keepers, the stenographer, a growing business, a big income; little wonder when a few days ago at a public meeting Madam Walker pledged one thousand dollars to the new colored M. M. that the audience would be as well as the audience of the wild with applause. Of the woman, just a word, modest, unassuming, intelligent, and affable, deeply interested in the general uplift, in fact Madam Walker, is responsive to every human touch: "I am sure she is the type of woman that is to show me to the world. I can give no doubt the word of the word, with the word woman a thousand times more phasized. Mr. Walker, vice president of the corporation, is a business man, and he is the man of the world, and he is the man of the world, of whom the two are a good team, of whom the two are a good friend to be proud."

Pauline Crampton, the wife of the stock company wife, featuring "Big Red Shawl," and the later "I'm a Jungle Queen," manners, I guess so.

I must say Miss Whitman deserves much credit for the song, as it is a knockout, of all the rags, that one is the one, believe me.

Our stay in New Orleans this season was indeed a financial and social triumph. Never since the first advent of the Smart Set in New Orleans has a coolred show of appreciation or made such an impression with the public as did "The Mayor of Newtown." The beautiful Temple theater was crowded nightly with the elite of the Crescent City, and their manifestations of appreciation were sufficient to inspire a crowd. The Temple theater has received a new birth under the efficient management of JJ. W. Cooke. Mr. Cooke is a highly respected citizen and is sure to receive the support of the public. He has an excelent reputation, in house pachaches are polite and courteous, and accessories necessary to a good performance are at the disposal of companies playing the house and I predict a very successful season for the Temple theater. The hospitality of the Queen City of the south is proverbial and was very generously evidenced towards the Smart Set company. Numerous balls, reception, and banquets were given, the most notable of which was the smoker tendered to Mr. Whitney, Mr. Tutt and the male members of the company by the Iroquois Club. The Iroquois Club is one of the most select clubs in the country. Not only have they entertained the most notable colored men of the race but they have had the honor of entertaining the president of the United States.

NOTES FROM RICHARDS & PRIN GLE'S MINSTREL. By Clarence Powell. Fame is indeed a fleeting transitory thing. Reputations which may have been years in building are soon forgotten, unless carefully nurtured and preserved. In the past, the best band was more true than in the theatrical world. Always alive to the fact, the management of the R. & P. shows have ever kept pace with the changing taste of the times. And today we can boast without fear of coming back to the best band and the best dressed minstrel from stem to stern extant. Off the stage they look like a bunch of E-Berrywall's, and on the stage they are dressed like court subjects upon some gala occasion. The best band is warm, in fact, that in Blackwell, Okla, one native hollered from the gallery: "You're dressed too swell for this town." Can you beat it. Mr. Kirkpatrick, our illustrious middle man and dramatic baritone, is sinking one of the masterpieces with huge success nightly. Mr. Kirkpatrick's voice, which has been lauded by critics everywhere, is one of the few minstrels who retain its sweetness and volume nightly. We had the pleasure of meeting Busy's colored minstrels in Guthrie, Okla. They were our guests at the show that we were at the piano with a special matinee the afternoon and the day was very pleasantly spent by all. They are a swell lot of ladies and gentlemen. Geo. Day, tenor robusto, joined us, and his rendition of hymns of the old church among the best numbers on the first pair. James Rhine, alto and second violin, joined us in Guthrie; he's making good. Thomas Edwards sends regards to Jno. L. White and Bob Reed. Walter Lee Reed sends to Mateo Henry Reed. Mrs. Major Daniels has returned from Chicago, where she has been visiting some of her many friends. Whitney Viney, who succeeded Jack Johnson as chorus director, is keeping the singing up to the standard and a quartette number in the ollo, which is one of the hits in this big ollo of hits. J. M. BBUSBY'S MINSTRELS. We are now in Oklahoma, showing to packed houses nightly. We received our new sleeping car at Edmund, Okla., and it is without a doubt one of the best cars in Rodgers, Texas, last February, but we are proud to say that the bunch is happy again with our new home. We met the Rihoards and Pringles' minstrels in Guthrie, Okla., and had the pleasure of wishing them all a happy birthday, which was great. The bunch exchanged glad hands of introduction and renewed old acquaintances. The Pringle bunch entertained us especially at the house by putting on a band concert. Prof. Simpson is enclosed in the bedroom, beaten up in the minstrel band on the road today. After the evening's performance the Pringle and Busby's bunch began to mix and wander off in different squads looking the little town of Guthrie over. Jacob Ward, Thomas Thompson, and John Ritchie, Freddie Richardson, of the Pringle shows, were held up by two highway robbers and relieved of $10 each. The robbers said they did not allow any loitering around, strange to say we were at the house. We were aware of Oklahoma, things happen to showmen. The bunch sends regards to all in and out of the profession. WHY GEORGE DOESN'T DO IT. Noting an article that appeared in the last issue of The Freeman, under the title of "Let George Do It," by Mr. Tim E. Owesley, prompts me in due justice for the author and for the enlightenment of the theoretical musculature and talent I never have or never professed to be a writer, and have no desire for the reading public to think that I pose as such. I am the HUSTLING AGENT of the Indianapolis Freeman, and as such I bar myself from the best, and better than the rest. My name has been used on numerous occasions by different persons, in order that their articles would gain recognition from the editorial stand of the Freeman. My friend, Mr. Owesley speaks is Mr. Jos. Clark, Jr. Geo. Slaughter always has and always will stand up for the best interests of the performers, and it is with this idea in mind that I am committed to this article in order to vindicate myself the thinking public. I had the pleasure of witnessing Mr. Owesley's act, and will say that in due justice to same, that the act would be a scream over Keith's or the Grand United time, but when it was not, I would be in other acts that go much bigger.

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn.—I have work- self and I think it is my duty to speak THEATER STUDIO CO PEKIN THEATRE The Pekin Theater, Savannah, Ga. The quiet little knock that was given the Fekin last week was considered a boost, owing to the source from which it came. Whiskey heads and cocaine friends cannot run the Fekin. The audiences are respectable people and desire a clean show and no dressing room promenade. If so the audience will walk out. The manners are not enough to not let such ham fats or a ham that is not even fat run his house. He plainly to the professionals in the business in regard to an article appearing in The Freeman of October 14. Now, I am placed in a position where I have worked for the first time since last summer. I am a youth, making good and having four and five week engagements and can truly say that the party or parties who wrote the article are only some one who must have just started out to try to be a performer. X, X, X, X, X, X, X, X, X have written an article of the kind because a professional knows that every knock is a boost. Now in regard to the supposed manager, Mr. W. J. Stiles, there never was a better manager to his people. He is always at you with a glad hand to the man who has been a member of the club, this life because he has travelled the country over and over and seen it and also been in it good and bad, so you know he must know how to treat people and I can truly say he is as good a man as ever. I have no idea why he is for his mother, Mrs. Josephine Stiles, I must say she is as nice a lady as ever. America has had and she is always very pleasant and kind to all who know her, both in and out of the profession. I have no idea why she is for the first time, but have never seen the ghost fall to walk on Monday night, and I can say that at no time have I ever asked her for a favor. She was not willing and ready to grant. Now, you can plainly see who he or she is, and she is a good man, and he is a signal performer. It must have been an owner or some one who was not even a ham fat and for the best of all the same one will want to come again to that same Mrs. Josephine Stiles (or Joe as he called her) to get some bread. I am satisfied that he is a good man, and he is the best of all the other fair, but she, herself is not the skin we throw away off the ham. BATTLE CREEK, MICH.

ANNAPOLIS OUTCLASSED. WASHINGTON D. C.-Howard varsity opened its football season last Saturday with an easy victory of 26 to 0 over Annapolis. It was a great victory for our boys. From the hoops off the field, we received a win over the game was stopped Howard actually swept Annapolis in the feet; outplaying and outclassing the lighter opponent in every angle of the game. Many sensational plays were made by Howard; Forbes with 85-yard run and 85-yard run and touchdowns, was easily one of the game. The playing of Capt. Gray, Nixon, Oliver, Schlaughter, and Beamon was also of high ornament. Our line as usual served as a model for Annapolis and it penetrated it. Gray, Forbes and Nixon tore through the Annapolis at will for gains of from 5 to 15 yards. Oliver and Schlaughter made many beautiful end runs. The game as a whole was good practice for Howard, and displayed the strong and weak points of the game. Howard plays Hampton November 10, in Hampton; Shaw at Howard on the 18th and Lincoln at Howard on Thanksgiving day. Much interest in the college is in Lincoln. Every beaten be taken to make this game a great success. Thousands of people will be here from the east and northeast, to see these great rivals, at Lincoln.

Billy McClain, the fight promoter from Brussels, Belgium, has proven that he is no Ananias in spite of the rumors as to his vicious word. He took Sam McVea to Australia to figure in a series of fights, beginning with Jack Lester and including Jack Johnson, who is set to meet McVea in December. He is right that Lang would worst the black idol of Paris, nor was it expected that he would make such a poor showing. The bout was scheduled for twenty rounds, but the Australian champion was eliminated that country of a prospective combatant of the champion of champions. Information has it that the formidable McVea had already put it over Jack Lester, the champion of Australia. The particulars of the McVea-Lester fight are not known in America, strange to say, in view of the importance of the series of fights, is the fact that McVea over Lester and over Lang has sent McVea stock atowering. He is already the champion heavyweight of Europe, a title which is as secure clinched a strong anti-passive feeling is on in England and which promises to stay. It may be thought that Jack Johnson, Negro and champion, had much to do with sewing up the prospects of prize fighting in England, where the sport originated, and he did, but in an indirect way as has been so often referred to in the past, he was the man it. The bad influence on the darker races, so many of whom are of the English possessions, is it. It quickened the public conscience, and which was already more or less alert on the subject of pugilism. Doubtless the victory of the black man over the white man of the world contributed its share, but as said before, this was merely incidental. The thing grew until it became a subject of state-craft having in mind the quietude of the black possessions. The question has been thoroughly hurried out before, however, and it is necessary to refer to it here in detail. With England getting out of the fight same and no particular fervor on in America, he begins to look a trifle worse for innocence. Johns has clearly outlawed himself—standing $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO-DAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural burses, or the follies of youth, that has caused me pain and nervous manhood in their own homes—without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy, so I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men and I am convinced it is the surest-sitting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to see them a copy in confidence, so that any of them may be dismayed and discouraged with repeated failure, may drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the security, restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUGH care and so cure himself on quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: A. E. Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Detroit, and I will send you a copy of this book, written in a ordinary envelope free of charge. A few many doctors would charge $3.00 to look for merely writing out a presentation like this—but I send it entirely free. alone unless it be that he meets McVean. In fact this seems to be the onlyighter in the world that seems to have a ghost of a show with him, excepting it be our own Sam Langford, the middleweight, logically, has no right to whip Jack Johnson, and splendid ability puts him way beyond his limits, reasonably that he overtops so much as to prove a match for the invincible. The go between the two foremost batters is set down for December. But McClain is not so sure that Johnson will show its appearance. Really it is not up to him that he does not have to carry the war into Africa. The war will have to be of his dictation, if he so chooses. --- A letter is in from the little black Dutchman, Battling Zambara, the interesting little scraper to Berlin, Germany, for the job he was going to go for Cleveland, O., working his way east to the fight centers, Pittsburg, New York, etc., where he has already been. He is often written in fair English with some German accents, and is interesting. The closing is pure Dutch: Zu mein freund, Billy, und dieraulin, mein best grün vom, vom Battalion, mein best grün vom, vom stenographer in the office is theraulin, and whom he learned to like in an exceedingly short space of time. He sends hisraulin, styling himself "the Black German Homo." Zambara says: "I am now in care of the German Jews. They are going to match me against Young Joe Gans, or me against David and we will work on am working out in the City gymnasium, withMatt Brock and Kid Wolfe, both German Jews. They all like me. They call me black Germany hope. We have big crowds every afternoon. No colored man in the city, the people speak German. They like to see me and Joe Gans to Dreamland. I feel here just the same I was in Germany. I don't do no shadow boxing here like Indianapolis. I am working out with some clever fighters. How is Ilia Vincent came out? (He won.) Dave. I have been looking for your paper here. I can get none to buy here." Zambara wants to meet Kid White and hopes that if he comes across this mention, he will fight at 120 or 122. Prospects for crowd good in Cleveland, he says. I speak of the little fellow at length because he is so distinctly a character, the most interesting bit of a black boy who is as worthy to write about as the "Ten boys" are to read about, the books used in city schools. ONE MILLION BLACK FIGHTING MEN TO BE RECRUITED FROM FRENCH NEGRO COLONIES. France Values the Black Man as a Fighter of Quality Constant talk of a probable conflict between France and Germany, and the revelation that France's population in late years has dwindled to such an alarming number that France would be compelled to put out an inferior army and navy to battle with the enemy, has caused the French government to seriously consider recruiting 1,000 black men fro mthe French colonies. While the French are becoming enthused over the plan of France maintaining black military reserves, the other half of the French are ideals of having to combat with Negroes, knowing full well their value as warriors. Among those who believe that France's only hope on the battlefield in the future will be by recruiting from the French African colonies is the richest, a better, or more who says: "The population of that part of the French African colonies in which recruiting would be possible is estimated to be five million, and I believe that the estimate is considerably under the truth. It is a population of fighting men—men who would much rather fight for their living than work in the army. It is a tute a system of universal service in order to compel them to come in. They would all gladly come in of their own accord, as volunteers, and the number of men who would be recruited in their age is computer at about one million. "One million men, be it observed, who could be recruited and trained, and kept ready for use in a European war—so that they could be in the army, inexhaustible, and so situated that, as long as France, or her allies, kept the command of the sea, no enemy could possibly get at it and destroy it. A million men, too, whose fighting value is not to Tells of Deeds of Black Soldiers. "It has sometimes been assumed that, because handfuls of white men have often scattered hordes of black men, therefore a black man would be of no use in a white man's war; but that is a distortion of the organization easily account for these sensational defeats. The black man has often proved that if he is armed like the white man, and has white men to lead him, he is quite capable of standing in the American war of secession, and in the American war with Spain, when the heights of San Juan were stormed by a black regiment. Napoleon himself employed black troops in European wars, and he unnished itself at the siege of Gaeta, and afterward captured Fra Diavolo under the guidance of Victor Hugo's father. Black troops helped to storm the Malakoff, and were employed at Magneta, and in Mexico. They were captured by the Franco-German war. Their bayone tcharge at Froeschwiller was one of the most brilliant feats recorded in the history of the war; for they actually preserved their moral after the regiment had lost 22 per cent. of its officers and 55 per cent. of its "We may take it, therefore, that there is nothing new or chimerical—nothing to be described as a counsel of despair in the French proposal to employ black men in the army." This is the black peril for Germany and for no other power; and it is much more real than that yellow peril against which the Kaiser noisily warned the western world. Not only too, it is a peril to which Germany is not altogether blind, and one not without its bearings on the course of the critical negotiations proceeding, at the moment of writing, with reference to the rights of the two countries in Mosul. The situation is, in effect, a demand for the surrender of a portion of the Black Reservoir. That is one of the reasons why Germany is so eager, and so firm; that is also one of the reasons why France will so obstructly reluctant to cede anything." BOXING ON THE COAST.

Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it. I have always been able to wear easy clothes, fit neat and snug, and is not in the way at any time, day or night. In fact, at times I did not know had to wear just adapted itself to the shape of the body, and would be a part of the body, as it clung to the spot, no matter what position I was in. It would be a veritable God-send to the unfortunate poor suffer from rupture if I could be up and up and nothing else did it but your Appliance.

It is a pleasure to recommend good thing among your friends or strangers. I am, Your very sincerely, JAMES A. BRITTON, 80 Spring St, Betthehem, Pa.

I have been ruptured for many years and have been taken to the hospital got any relief until I got your Appliance. I put it on last November, but had very little faith in it, but must say I am now cured. I have laid it away—have had it off for two weeks and doing all kinds of farm work with ease. While I was wearing it, I had lagripe and coughed a great deal, but it held all right. Words cannot express my gratitude towards you and lly have rarely passed the Rockies. Clubs doing business in 'Frisco are receiving permits monthly, but none of the promoters can skirmish up a card important to create more than a local interest. Coast fans are reported to be pining for an important event; but the stars of the game have deserted the Pacific slope. Cisco is blaming New York for the "decision" events appeal strongly to the men who have reached the top, as they stand little chance of losing prestige by a defeat on the point basis in New York. In a no-decision affair a defeat is not made in the same grounds instead of twenty with the same size purse to reward their efforts is another thing that appeals to present day stars. A few men nowadays among the topotchers who clamor for finish, or even twenty-round affairs. What with moving picture money and gigantic purses a title is worth so much to the holder that once gained, it not to be missed. The title has ever changed hands in a no-decision affair, for a knockout inside of ten rounds is very rare when clever men are in action. When a battle is going against one of the champions he has but to stall the final bell will save him and his title. confrasts the boxer. When a decision is given a champion must win every time or it is good-bye to the title. It is better for the fans on the Pacific coast to the present time. Jack Britton and Willie Ritchie are about the best of the lightweights. The featherweight elimination contests held at Los Angeles during the summer with the Johnny Killane, Johnny Killane, Frankie Conley, Tommy Dixon, Jose Rivers, Patys Kline and Joe Coster took part and Kilbane was the ultimate winner. These men, with the exception of Rivers, have left the coast for the middle west or New York. The middleweight and the heavyweight divisions are not represented by these men, and fans are anxious to see Frank Klaus, Hugo Kelly and other of the middleweights now in the east. Billy Papke, however, is not in favor, as the fans have written his showing with Joe Thoum, a J. McCarty, of Los Angeles, and James Coffrith of San Francisco have been trying to induce Sam Langford and Joe Jeanette to go out to the coast, but Langford has not answered his mind apparently, for he does not answer the telegrams that Coffrith has been sending him. Jeanette is reported to be both anxious and willing to go, for he is one of the few who prefer long distance bouts. The scarcity of good bouts in Frisco has caused the fans to be very agitated and arithmetic excitement will be of benefit, to the game there, which at one time suffered from a surfeit of boxing. JACK JJOHNSON NOW A FULL FLEDGED MASON. Heavyweight Champion Initiated With a Great Flourish at Dundee, EDINBURGH, Scotland. — "Brother Johnson" was the salutation the boxing champion received at Dundee. He is now a Free Mason and is a judge in the Isle of Kincardine, a lodge with a famous fighting history. It was a brief but lively visit that Jack paid to Interpolells.

FAMILIARLY KNOWN AS “OLD TOM.” ANOTHER MAN BADLY INJURED Two Are Saved by Jumping—Dead Man Was Known as Careful Driver. While responding to an alarm sounded from Box 317, at Northwestern Avenue and Twenty-first street, shortly after 5 o'clock Wednesday morning, hose wagon No. 16 was struck by a south-bound college avenue street car, at Sixteenth Street, and Lieutenant Thomas S. Smith, colored, 1612 Yandes street, was instantly killed, and Captain Thomas Howard, colored, 1507 Cornell Avenue, was seriously injured. Clarence Miller, colored, and Emil Rugenstein, substitute fireman, who were standing on the rear end of the hose wagon, jumped and saved themselves from injury. Smith, who was driving the team, was hurled into the air and thrown in front of the street car, which passed over him. He was dragged several feet, and his body stopped at the front trucks, where it became lodged. He was not released until half an hour later, when the street car wrecking crew raised the car. Howard was thrown to the street clear of the street car, and suffered a fractured right his and internal injuries. He asked to be taken to the fire house, and he was placed on a board and carried by friends to his cot at the fire station. His condition was said to be serious, but not critical. View Obscured by Fog. Witnesses differ as to the speed of the street car and the hose wagon, but Smith was known as a careful driver and the early morning fog obscured both his and the street car's vision. The street car motorman and the firemen are said to have been ringing their bells. Aa the northeast corner of Sixteenth street and College avenue is a large and man-made road that walks and vehicles approaching from the east are in danger of being run down unless the drivers use caution in crossing the tracks. When Smith saw the approaching street car he is said to have tried to get across the road and was knocked back. The car was going too fast, however. The street car struck the hose wagon near the front end where Howard and Smith were sitting. The wagon was struck with such force that the horses were knocked back. Howard and the other tree and were on the right-hand side of the track when caught by Miller and Rugenstein. The horses were not injured. The tires on the hose wagon were torn off, and the street car was knocked back. Smith was slightly broken. The front end of the street car was slightly damaged. Obeyed Orders of Chief. According to the statement of the uninjured men on the hose wagon Smith trotted his team to College avenue, in obedience to orders from Chief Coots, not to go fast until after crossing the street and to go west. The firemen have the impression that the street car was going at a high speed, though they say they did not see it until it was almost on them. Miller says he first saw the light of the street car as he was driving tracks. He says Smith was hurled entirely over Captain Howard who was on the seat with him. The other men can not say definitely what the speed of the car was. Owain was riding and their position on the wagon the men say they did not see the car for more than an instant before the crash, but they believe the speed was great because of the force with which the front of the wagon was driven south on Saw the Accident. M. L. Addington, 716 East Fifteenth street, said he was standing at Fifteenth street when the accident occurred, and that the street car was traveling at 100 mph when he was also moving rapidly, and he believed he heard both the bell of the street car and the hose wound sounded. W. J. Elbert, 1010 East Seventeenth street, who was in the street car, said the motorman and the hose wound sounded 113 verses of Sixteenth street. He said the street car was going at a moderate rate of speed. The street car was in the charge of George Lane, 532 Keystone avenue, motorman, and the hose wound sounded 113 verses of Sixteenth street. Lane said he sounded his gong just before he reached Sixteenth street and that as soon as he saw the hose wound he reversed his cone and the hose wound sounded the car traveled about thirty feet after it stalled the hose wagon. Lane said he was not going to make a stop at Sixteenth street, and was going at a fair rate of speed. He refused to say how fast he was going. He said he summons for testimony the street car men to testify at his inquiry into Smith's death. Several Hundred on Scene. A few minutes after the accident there were several hundred persons on the scene, and when Smith's body was taken he was surrounded by women in the neighborhood who knew Smith as Old Tom, wept as they praised his careful driving which they had watched on numerous occasions. The city hospital ambulance to the city morgue and Coroner Durham was notified. Dr. Ira E. Dunlazy, police surgeon, made an examination of Howard's injuries at the firehouse and later the fireman was taken to the Niel Net car traffic was delayed for more than half an hour—Indianapolis News. PAST WEEK AT LOUISVILLE School of Stenography Opened Central High School Boys are Unfortunate-New Hotel Company Organized. By Lee L. Brown. (1006 West Chestnut Street.) LOUISVILE, Ky., Special.

C. venience of the business men who have special work to be executed. It seems that the Central High School boys have been unfortunate this year in capturing games from their opponents on the football team, but we are unable to point out the reason. We do not believe that the girls of Central give the boys games to win, but we find often that many of the Central girls go to games wearing the colors of the opposing teams, and this should not be. The girls who are members of the high schools in the area do not dress attent a football game wearing the colors and rooting for the other team. In connection with the school of stenography there will be established in Louisville, at 1006 West Chestnut street, community writing office, where all kinds of typewritten work will be executed, envelopes addressed, circular letters mailed and advertising attribution to us as a new business office in Louisville, and business men will appreciate this effort of the managers. Miss Marie Streaty, of Jeffersonville, Ind., a graduate of one of the best schools of stenography in Chicago, will serve as the public office in Chicago and a year's experience in Louisville, will serve as teacher in the school. Later on a bookkeeper will serve as stenographer. Miss Streaty recently served as stenographer for the colored campaign committee. We understand that the Clay-Lewis Hotel Company are determined to erect the proposed hotel. Louisville needs an up-to-date hotel controlled by Negroes. We hope that the Clay-Lewis Hotel will not use them as a tool at the expense of the hard-earned dollars of many persons who may take out stock. The world is filled with companies who usually call several colored men together for the purpose of organizing a stock company. Such organization is usually well and the property goes back to the original owners. We do not mean to discourage any who have a desire to take out stock in the local concern, but only to sound a warning against these agents who so often attempt to defraud our people. President Taft has been the special guest of Kentucky for two days this week.

The Lincoln Printing Company is the name of a new enterprise recently launched by James Harris and Dumas Slight. They are True Former employees. These young men have been awarded a certain amount of work during their short time in business. They have sent out circulars this week to the business men throughout the city advertising their most excellent job and the fact that they are a great demand for a first-class office in Louisville. In conversation with the editor of The Defender this week he made the statement that thousands of dollars have been spent on white printers when we have here in the city colored printers who are second to none. If all the colored men who are in business would patronize each other there would be a lot of graduates from some of our best schools who would be able to secure employment.
