NUMBER 45 POSTOFFICEATTACHESARE "MAKING GOOD" A Stag Tendered Lyge W. Benjamin, of Boston-The Ministerial Association are Holding Secret Sessions-Notes. (Bv Carry B. Lewis.) Chicago, Ill. Special to The Freeman. The colored men in the Chicago post- office are not only making a fine record, but they are making a fine record in their money and investing it wisely. For the past year or more the book of the colored men has gone wonder- fully. 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. They are capable and above criticism. The work taxing and exacting, but our men are shown that they were made of the man that counts. They have been capable and constant and have been successful. There is not the unrest among them which is noticed among white employees. Chicago has a high stress and commercial world is not seen to the Negro as to the white man who the colored man is willing to place best efforts effort to the good of the gov't. In the money order department Mr.ESSiger was for years an expert clerk, other colored men in the same department have made enviable records at the ringing and filing of records. In the stems department is found L. L. Anderson. He is a most problem man with a strong definition. Judge is in the especial delivery division. He is one of the most reliable risks of that department. Experts in Registry Division. The registry division perhaps knows more thorough or careful men than channel Caldwell and Benj. Simpson, we can be found Miss Elizabeth Clark experts and but hang up a record that exceedingly creditable. It is with the most feeling of safety that work demanding special attention be turned to this department, and these young experts will be posted and Postmaster Campbell refer to this department among leaders in the Chicago postoffice. In Every Branch. There is almost no branch in which the colored men is not represented, here has been little prejudice in setting of places, but there comes times when some members of the other race are represented. From the most reliable information, over five hundred are now working for the government. Our men are easily and dependable upon to see that work of Uncle Sam goes right on. From the many social clubs, and they have done much to entertain their many friends during the summer and winter. The owners, Swastika and Phalanx Clubs are two of postoffice boys. The latter club has a large club, and they hope to do something along commercial lines latter on, all the postoffice men are accompanying much along substantial and marital lines and are a credit to the city, rs.

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.

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- "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. Miss Davis in Star Dramatic Recital. 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."

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 am yours in Christ and S. M. T., I am now making my own volunteer me to be so happy. I would like so much me to be so happy. I would like so much M. to give you my name, but I hope you know why. 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. Don't put off, but call at once, if you wish to enjoy future happiness. Don't delay. Highly trained preachers, lawyers and doctors, and come well recommended by four of the leading lodges, the S. M.

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.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. 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. The Normal Institute has held the championship for years and the West Virginia Institute has held the championship of that State for a long time; so this contest was to decide the championship between the two States.

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.

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.

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.

The Dandy Dixie Minstrels are in Washington Minstrels, going down there at the close of the period not a dull moment. There was 'something doing' all the time; and what was done was presented in a clever, refined, well-posed, equipped to old and young, large and small. NOTES FROM JOHNSON'S THEATER RIUM. COLUMBIA. S. C. By Kid Jines. For the week of October 30, McClain and Crampton Stock company presents in one act and one scene, "Indian Reservation," and it was a riot. 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. Now for the strong workers in the backgrounds, came Silla Hill, Lucie McGinnity and Clara Smith, and then they went straight and of course for the comedy use you rown judgment, since Bert Houze left. Last came the olo numbers: Jines and Gordon doing eleven minutes in one a scream from start to finish, feasting, laughing, and crying, Friend From Your Home Town." On the Nek, New Haven and Hartford, and then that "Jungle Band;" class to these two boys. We must mention our dainty little soubrette, Lucie McGinnity, the late, late late, the Washington Rag." 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. Moore and Moore opened with us in a singing and singing, and we say that of them, because we all know them, they went well. Regards to THE MARVELOUS TONIC DRESSING "BONG-OLA" For the Hair.

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. The ship contains men of national as well as local prominence. A few of the most conspicuous are eHon. A. S. Johnson, collector of revenues; Walter Cohen, J. Madison Vance and Col. Jas. Lewis. Jas. Madison Vance is the club and Edward BaBren is secretary. An excellent program was rendered, Judge Vance officiating as toastmaster and master of ceremonies. As a toastmaster Judge Vance's striking eloquence complete master of the English language, a master of edge of men and places him on a par with the renowned Chauncey Denew. 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.

Dear Sir:— Perhaps it will interest you to know that I have been ruptured six years and have always had trouble with it till I got your Appliance. It is very easy to wear, fits neat and snuz, and is not in the’ way at any time, day or night, In fact, at times I did not know I had it on; it just adapted itself to the shape of the body and seemed to be a part of the body, as it clung to the Spot, no matter what’ position T was in.

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.

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. Brown's School of Stenography and Typewriting Shop will open Monday, November 20th, as part of Cresthut students are added to enroll during the week. There will be special musical exercises on the opening night, place of meeting to be named by the school, the office will be opened daily for the The best combination made for Sewing Machines, Typewriter, Razors and Strops.

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.

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.
