LADIES VOLUNTEER — PUBLICLY GIVE THIS LADY, MADAME Mc NAIRDEE, THE PRAISE. For she is certainly worthy of praise that she has done for our homes. May God bless her and her days be long on earth. We pray. Testimonials. To Whom It May Concern: I am a married woman and have been for ten years. I had only lived six months in any peace or earth in my home until I consulted this worthy woman. Two years ago, and since then, my home, by taking her advice, has been all that any family could wish. I am your sister in Christ. MRS. W. H. H. Sherman, Texas To Whom It May Concern: My dear readers, you are missing half of your time worrying with a man that will not try once please you, cherish or comfort you, and hold a bright light of good moral conduct before his children, by making home happy. Now, listen if you have sighed, and listen if you have failed to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdey advise you. I know you will never regret it. My husband was a drunkard, a run-about and around, a gambler, and a man who never let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman. I took up courage and let her hear from me. o-day, I will say it is on a stair-steps of the house, and I will never suspect the spect. I will will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. M I am now making my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me trouble. 1930 to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man who was a teacher. We were twice engaged and he would disappoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and then we form a family. We are so nice and kind to me. I told him a few 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 know what to wish his wife has best jobs of his life by consulting her. No matter what you want to do or know, you 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 tell you that she visited 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 deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, as ever, her friend. MRS. JOSIE T. M., C. O. To Whom It May Concern To Whom If May Concern. I have always been one of those that have always been one of those 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 that I would be able to tell that we read so much about in our papers. Mother says, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I came clear and get out of it. I come clear and get out of it. 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 she would do the rest." And bless her to day and forever. I was called to trial, and every witness that could be found spoke in my behalf, and those who did not could be found. And then set free. Do you blame me for 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 two months, and shall always divide my last time 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 her heart. She is not afraid to off, but call at once if you wish to enjoy future happiness. Don't delay.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, NOV. 18, 1911. Dr. Washington has done his duty whether the courts have done theirs or not. In these automobile days the most dignified individual loses very much of it at the street crossings. The recent election was remarkable in that it didn't forecast very much. Things political practically status quo. Those that had overcoats put them on last Sunday. Those that did not, concluded they didn't care to go out. Mr. Bryan has formerly announced that he would not be a candidate for the presidency this time. Was it necessary? Mr. Carnegie has dropped $25,000,000 more in the interest of education. The wave ought to be felt at quite a distance from the dropping point. See those hundred dollar hats in the shop windows? Some hats, weren't they? It is an opportunity for most people, even to get to see one. Dr. Booker T. Washington has prosecuted the man who assaulted him by showing to the world that he had nothing to cover up. Now, let us be good. The political winds seem to be blowing all ways. The straws take no definite course as it concerns 1912. The people haven't concluded yet just what they are going to do. A certain scientist is out with the theory that one's hair cannot turn gray in a night, as it is so often said, due to fright or pain. The learned gentleman may know of what he speaks. We know this: that numerous individuals' hair has turned red in a night. It's a poor rule that don't work both ways. The 30th of November is Thanksgiving Day, by proclamation of the President and in accordance with the custom established many years ago. The first thanks were profound, owing to a perilous existence in an unknown land and in view of the hope that had come to them. It is said that Thanksgiving days are now feast days only. Well, it means something unusual to somebody at that. A first-class, well-appointed small theater, like the one now building promises, we think, will be well patronized by the colored people. There are all kinds of theaters, and for all kinds of people. Some prefer the very best that money can bring about. This does not mean the destruction of the others. The cheap, common theater is here to stay, and because many prefer that kind of a house. As many more, however, prefer all the comfort and elegance seen elsewhere. The new theater may not be done in silk plush and mahogany, but from what is said, it will be clean, inviting and comfortable, and with some show of elegance. Really, such a house is the expected in view of the rocky route to good seats in our first-class theaters. Judging by the victories of the Socialists at the recent election, that party is making considerable headway. The party has been more or less feared, owing to the bad use of the words "Socialist" and "Socialism." If the newly elected Socialist mayor of Schnectady, N. Y., is a type of Socialism, evidenced through his utterances, that party is safe and sane enough. The Negro will bear in mind, however, that his salvation will not come of parties, since the question of color and nationality make all parties one as it concerns him. Participation, nevertheless, in all parties will bring about better relations quicker than through the stupid adherence to one party. Sitting in hospital grounds may be as good as sitting anywhere else, but it doesn't sound so cheerful when the fact is announced. But those who donated the park didn't think of a thing like that. The State, perhaps, did not think at the time what it was doing. To cut up Military Park seems no less than civil desecration. What about the memory of the old soldiers? The "Woodman spare that tree" idea also comes forth. Generations have sat in the old park enjoying the shade in the heat of the day—its peace in the night. Now comes the unentimental verdict, backed up by ninety-two counties, say the advocating doctors, and the park must "straightway go down." There can be plenty of land suitable for hospitals, but not for city parks. Dr. Booker T. Washington lost his suit against Ulrich, the white man, who assaulted him some months ago ```markdown ``` In New York City. The affair in the beginning was unfortunate, but doubtless the result of some mistake, as set forth at the time. However, there has been no doubt about Dr. Washington having been assaulted, and in view of which the court had to be quite ingenious in finding for Mr. Ulrich. We still have confidence in Dr. Washington as a man of strict integrity and sterling worth. Without a dissenting voice, it seems, the Negro press is of a similar mind, that the educator has been imposed upon, and that his great services to his race and to his nation are not to be impaired by any sort of invention, so lacking in probability or reason. Bishop Alexander Walters, the well-known leader of the independent movement among Negroes, recently wrote to Congressman James T. Lloyd, chairman of the committee on patronage, of the Democratic party of the House of Representatives, for information concerning the discharge of thirty-three Negroes, the inference being that white men were given their places. Mr. Lloyd, in replying to Bishop Walters, said that a few colored men were dismissed, but the reductions were made without regard to the color of the individuals. "In fact," he said, "seven offices held by white men were abolished to every one held by a colored man." The congressman assures Bishop Walters that no injustice has been dealt colored men. He concludes by saying that this is the purpose of the Democrats, to treat the Negro fair and not to discriminate against him. In fact, the congressman would have it appear that the Negro may expect as much of the Democrats as of the Republicans. THE COLORED Y. M. C. A. MOVEMENT. The Colored Y. M. C. A. is to be congratulated for its fine prospects. The dream of the year has come about. Out of "airy nothings" have come this splendid hope to Negro effort in Indianapolis. The $100000 pledged means a magnificent structure which will include all of the facilities needed for Y. M. C. A. purposes. The campaign for the remaining $75,000 above the contribution of $25,000 given by the Jewish philanthropist was uniquely waged. This pertains strictly to the colored people who had their first experience in doing something in a big way—for a common cause. All elements were 'blended'; sectarian and factional lines disappeared in the interest of the much-needed institution. Under the various captains the colored people worked with a right good will; $15,000 was considered a fair amount to raise, but the managers felt that the race should shoulder more of the burden. The amount raised was above $20000, a gratifying sum in view of the circumstances. The colored people fought for themselves, fought nobly, stimulated by the prize of $80,000 which swung within their grasp. This contribution was from the white people, who were quickened by the worthiness of the cause and the necessity—knowing the trying conditions under which the race labors. As things go, money is fairly the highest earthly prize. We may well conclude that when thousands of dollars are poured out as freely as water, that the great public heart has been touched. The feeling was in the air that the Negroes are here and we must make the most of the situation. Actions suited the word, the result being this splendid temple, conceived and brought about by the influence of the angels of the better natures of all of the people. The sometimes indifferent Negro had reason for the once to pause and reflect owing to the fount of blessing that flowed so freely, thinking perhaps of his unworthiness, the unfailing sign of repentance and a better attitude towards society and to his Maker, but for the moment. Such great and beneficent moves are not only momentary in their influences, everlasting good follows as surely as night follows the day. So the poorest among us, in wealth, in spirit, have had a foretaste of the common inheritance, and as it will yet be in the skies. We all feel very grateful for the fellowship that has been and which will never entirely desert us. The ends of humanity have been furthered by the common effort, and Christianity has further encompassed its empire mapped out in the beginning. BISHOP WALTERS MAKES INQUIRY New York City, Nov. 14, 1911. To the Editor of The Freeman, Indianapolis, Ind. Mary Dear Sir: Having been in a recent issue of the New York Are that the Democrats had put out of office thirty-nine Negroes with the inference that white men had been given their places, I immediately wrote to Congressman James T. Lloyd, chairman of the Democratic party in the house of representatives for information on the subject and received the following reply; which I should like to have answered. I am writing to paper asking your readers the question of how many Negroes have been dismissed from the federal service by President Taft and their places given to white men. I am best wishes for your health and the continued success of your great journal. I am truly yours. ALEXANDER WALTERS. 208 West 134th Street, New York City. Congressman Lloyd's Letter to Bishop Walters. House of Representatives Committee on Accounts. House of Representatives Committee on Accounts. Washington, D. C. New Berne, N. C. My Dear Sir: I am in receipt of your favor of the 6th inst., enclosing a communication fro mthe New York Age. The statement made in that article is untrue. At the beginning of the session we reduced the number of employees of the house about seventy-five. It is true that a few of these positions were held by the office manager, but the mad without regard to the color of the individuals holding the places. In fact seven offices held by white men were abolished to every one filled by a cot or roommate. You will see, therefore, that there THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. is no justification for the statement that Negroes were dismissed that their places might be filled by white men, nor that their discrimination against men of either color. It is true that a position known as "Assistant Stenographer to Committees" which has been in existence a number of years, has happened that this place was filled by a man, Mr. Johnson, who while he had rendered service to the Speaker, had never been involved with the regular stenographer force. I think that there are a number of Negroes holding places here now, and so far as I have information, in no instance has a Negro held a position in the Democratic people as have the Republicans; in fact as a rule, when a colored man wants a favor from a white man he goes to a Democrat to get it. Successely yours. HOW TO MAKE THE COMING OF FOREIGNERS A BLESSING TO NEGROES AS WELL AS TO THE GENERAL PUBLIC — INVEST YOUR EARNINGS IN LAND The efforts of the South in bringing in foreigners for the purpose of giving them public and domestic work as well as to sell them the land on which to build their homes, to assist in the growing sentiment in that direction by the southern people gives us reason to believe that in a few years we will have a great many foreigners of various nationalities working in the work, buy the lands and build the industries and manufactories. If they find the Negro landless in the South, the growth of our civilization in the future will come; but if the moneyed people can be persuaded to join in the effort in buying small farm lands, in teaching people to diversify their products, to use and manufacture their products and to manufacture their products from the clay, the farm and the forest, with which we can have access to the markets o the world, we will have an independent business and professional interests as well as other people. Then the coming of foreigners will be a blessing as consumers, if a blessing at all. The farming lands all over the South, and especially in Alabama, offer one of the best fields for investment in the country. Lands can be bought from ten dollars to one hundred and fifty dollars per acre all over the state. These lands are particularly valuable. Lands that were sold from twelve to six months ago for from seven to ten dollars per acre in many cases are now selling all the way from twenty to fifty dollars. Most cases these lands are offered only in large quantities, from five hundred to ten thousand acres, which as individuals the colored people are not able to reach. That is why the moneyed men among them will invest their money in this channel where they cannot only make some of the largest returns on their money but at the same time help to establish an independent civilization for the Negro people. The moneyed Negro can safely follow the Northern capitalists, in this direction who have spent hundreds of millions in the lands of the South. They are collecting from the poor, been far larger quantities of farm lands bought by Northern capitalists. In one case thirty-one thousand acres at twenty-seven dollars per acre and it seems to me that these opportunities to make money and earn a living are being invested in man whom God has blessed with means. The Alabama Penny Savings bank is offering itself as a channel through which these men of means may operate in this profitable and laudable enterprise. We invest a large amount of its incoming capital stock in buying these lands and cutting them up in small farms and selling them to our people, and therefore make a large amount of investment even people throughout the country to reach these profitable investments by buying our stock on which they will reap a splendid dividend.

INDUSTRIAL UNION INSTITUTE, Box 305, Southern Pines, N. C. PASSING SHOW AT WASHINGTON, D. C. (By W. P. Bayless.) Howard Theater The bill at the Howard last week was something new in vaudeville to a Washington audience. Considerable comment was made about Howard. Howard is going the rounds. Last week's bill was an excellent sign that Mr. Thomas is determined to present clean, high-class and elevating as well as entertaining vaudeville. Albert Bowers, Thelma the Great, was a most interesting female impersonator. His work was fine save that one tired of his singing all of his songs in the same tenor. The Kentucky Trio, consisting of Clay- brooks, Miller and Claybrooks, made a very favorable impression. Mr. Claybrooks did some nice work with his corp. Mr. Miller is funny and a good dancer. Mr. and Mrs. James Worle and Mr. Percell composed the Ginger Tr'o. Their work received a good stamp of approval. Mr. Percell added to the satisfaction of all "In My Old Home." One of the most pleasing things about the bill last week was that most of the acts were new in Washington, and some of them were old. You had to sit and wait to near the close of the bill for the real hit, and the act that made the rest seem slow and slow was "The big scream" caused by the clever word of Griffin Sisters (Emma and Mabel). They are "old-timers" and have not allowed themselves to fall into the rut of any of the acts. They play and act ragtime, not with any great skill, perhaps, but at least with a sense of rhythm, to say nothing of a sense of humor and pushing expression. They move about the stage with joy and energy. Each stunt they attempted was finished in good style and up to the snuff. Ford Dabney Theater The bill which was presented at the Dabney Theater last week created a wave of favor, which caused the management team to cancel the entire week. The entire program was clever, and proved to be of an entertaining quality. The Ginger Girls, Lottie Gee and Effe King, are not new to Washington, and also are not new to the theater. It was pleasing to note the new songs and the beautiful new costumes the clever signs of progressiveness. They show signs of progressiveness. They received with a large expression of favor. Clarence Nugent, a black-face comedian, is new to this place. His singing and dancing act was entertaining. Too much care cannot be exercised in the selection of subjects for photo play motion pictures, theaters of this city, Children particularly, visitors of moving picture shows, are fascinated by the burglaries, murders and crimes of all sorts depicted in these films, and underdeveloped minds are fascinated rather than shocked by the horrors depicted. The coming of Miss Aida Overton Walker and her all-star company for the week of May 16, 2014, will favor. The reserve seats are selling very rapidly. Everybody seems anxious to once more enjoy the pleasure of seeing and hearing this clever and charming performer. . . . The Hiawatha Theater still accommodates large crowds each night. The photo plays are very interesting and instructive, and the music always on the job with a new song, which the plays and sings with "some more class." Mr. Clarence of Wien is playing the piano in the Howard Theater Orchestra. We are glad to hear that Mr. J. Leubrie Hill has issued the call for rehearsal. It is undoubtedly one of the best musical comedy shows in existence and is sure to win popular favor. Some very interesting pictures are run at the Minneaha. The Wilberforian Musical Association, one of the best musical organizations in this city, will furnish the music for the great charity ball for the benefit of the Social Settlement. The work of the Social Settlement, it has been most well-known that it teaches and helps many of those who cannot help themselves. A special musical program has been arranged, and the above mentioned orchestra will furnish music throughout the President Taft has been invited to be present. Prof. Alfred Ross, of New York City, is director of the Howard Orchestra. He is rapidly shaping it into one of the finest in the city. W. W. Osborne, of St. Louis; J. Sherm- Huntock, of Wilberforce, O. and W. P. Baskerville seen at the Howard Theater last week. THE FREEMAN IN LOUISVILLE. The Indianapolis Freeman is on sale at the following places: P. C.

The Pekin—The Gaither. A good card marked the opening of the Pekin Theater, Monday night of this week. The beautiful song, "The Squaw Man," was sweetly rendered by Miss Lucy Mann, who was a teacher and a few feys, a new team on the avenue, were well received, with a lot of new jokes, good singing and dancing. This is a very clever act. Harper, Perkins and Stewart were in the crowd, and find two harder working comedians than Harper and Stewart. They kept the crowds in an uproar from the time they made their appearance until the curtain fell. They were familiar with the ability of the two black-face gentlemen to entertain, were waiting with much interest to see them work together, and that they were well prepared to do their best, "and that's going some." Miss Alberta Perkins, the third member of the act, had hers waiting for her. She was accorded her usual ovation when she stepped on the stage, as she did their evening. Miss Perkins is one of the few female members of the profession that have won a place in the hearts of the lovers of the theater. She was singing "The Sally Rag." The words and music of this song were written and arranged in this city, and the people show more appreciation this week than ever, will be working around here for some time. The Gaither has a well-balanced bill this week. The lovers of classical singing turned out on enmase to hear Madam Rosa Lee Lee, the celebrated prima ballerina Chloe Chang, who appeared in better form than Monday night, and on no former engagement was she received with greater enthusiasm than she received with a better, better, better, and her songs were better suited for the people who patronize these houses. A gentleman under cork, on the bill as Chicken Beeman, doing a monologue and singing a song, with a little eccentricity, was better than a monologue was good; in fact, it was a little too deep for a colored audience. As a rule, they do not grasp jokes very read, unless they are very ancient and Mr. Beeman is very young, and every now and then something that they could understand, and they seemed to like it. Marshall and Moody closed the show with their clever singing and dancing, and they seemed to be peared here before. They have several new songs that were in popular favor.

For many moons the people of this vicinity had been talking of such an enterprise as the project. Finally "Young Lochinvar came to the project. Finally" in the person of Mr. Earl Walker, and to over the field and felt satisfied to remain, the career of the manager of a local theater here he saw the need of another one of class, the straightway organized a company, and he did not ask the backing of white capital, the equal shares—that is, he mixed his money with it, and he cope with him, mattering not whether they were white or black; and the Walker investment Company was launched with Mr. Walker, a known enviousness spring up on every because he, a stranger and only a young man of 25 years of age, had succeeded in accomplishing what others with great opportunity of work could not. Mr. Walker deserves efforts, and with that remarkable generalship obtained by years of experience we are certain that years of experience we are sure to go. Bully for Walker! C. D. M.

The prize is being offered by the management for the one who suggests a name for the prize. The prizes will be $5.00 in gold or season ticket, optional with the lucky person. RUSSELL'S CHICAGO NOTES. Owing to the arrearage of Chicago news and the illness of Mr. Russell on Monday evening, who was suffering with neural damage, he will be omitted. "The Rogus Prince of IN THE PL INDIANA J.D.HC GILLIAM and WILLIAMS CROWN BONNIE FEMALE IN CR FRANK K. CR HE bill at the Crown Garden this week was of exceptional merit and presented a variety of entertainment with each performance. Mr. Tim E. Owlesy made his initial bow as full-fledged manager of the house. He seems to have gotten off under fair winds, and should have no trouble in keeping the craft clear of dust. We agreed with the manager as it plain to be seen the people are growing tired of vaudeville and are ready to welcome any sort of change. In the meantime the new house is being built, much more as to the relative drawing strength of the two houses is daily advanced by the Thespians of the avenue. Some are inclined to the belief that the advent of the two houses in opposition to the new house is a warranting an investment of the Grand Opera House in Chicago against the Monogram, weheupon, instead of doing harm served as a powerful medium through which the patronage to the small house is being built. It is to be hoped that both houses will do well and, indeed, there is no reason why they should not. Indianapolis has a Negro population of 48,000 and surely this number is warranting the new investment. It is planned by the management of the new house to extend the greetings of the Yuletide to the people by opening sometime during the Christmas season, foot among the socially inclined to make this an ultra fashionable event. AT THE CROWN GARDEN. 10 Mins. in One. This act is a new one to the people of Indianapolis. This young chap is a good story teller and his jokes are at any time. After the first stanza of his introductory song he attempted to go on with his story telling, but was not allowed to do so on occasion and not immediately apparent. His first verse of his song becomes. As a consequence he was forced to sing another stanza before he could get on with his tale. The impression he made on the master empathic than the one he made as a singer. This performer has a good delivery and an originality in his storytelling, even if his welcome factor on any bill. His best song was "Got Yo" Mourf Full O'gimme". It told a funny story and was well received. 15 Mins. Full Stage. Frank Kirk, who was reviewed extensively in this column alst week, appeared on the bill as was previously announced in The Freeman. Nothing more could pos- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Hayt'i was the attraction on its second week's run at Mott's Pekin Theater. The bill at the New Grand for the first half of the week was Allen and Joel Cooper's Girls, Leflet Trio, Field and Ladella, clever people, and Newman Brothers' boxing cyclists. The Monogram was headed by the Beams, Mays, in new act, Crowder, the Hales, the Hales, Joe Sandfler and Miss Mabel Gant, the prepossessing little soubrette; Monroe Tabor, yodler, and the Robinsons, musical artists, crowd-raising writer, is appearing as the waiter in "Over Night," at the Princess, and gives a most perfect performance, adding to the genuine realistic flavor of what ought to appeal to the Phoenix. The Phoenix is presenting "The Two Orphons," a photo play. Gilmore, Kinky and Gilmore, headed the bill at the Grand for the second half of last week. The city, including John Malloy, Chas, McKenzie, Chas, Holmes and Ernest Clemons, Chicken Red Beamman returns to the Bowers and the Gecko Camps passed through the city last week.

Marsh Craig has written that the Kelley Minstrels will open January 8. It is desired that all old members write him, 3600 Forest avenue, Chicago, Ill. We take care to ensure that Mr. Craig is circulated that Mr. Craig recently lost his legs in a railroad accident to be eroneous. AT THE RUBY, LOUISVILLE, KY. Another heavy bill this week. Miss Mayme Wilson, who is quite a singing soubrette, opened the show. Her work was well appreciated and was followed by a series of performances made it lively for the acts to come. Mrs. Clark has a phenomenally strong voice, very unusual for her sex. Mr. Clark's impersonation of a Jew was a clean hit, and Mrs. Clark's role as a man, which brought down the house, a clever pair. Another novelty, Lester McDaniels, the handcuff king and milkcan mystery, is another one of the how-to books. The milkman was called upon the stage from the audience to examine the paraphernalia and shackles and handcuff the mystifier. Although the committee would take lots of time, the milkman leans himself at a glance. Getting into a milk-can and filling it with water, AYHOUSES APOLIS WARD CLARK PERSONATOR CROWN GUS SIMMONS AT THE CROWN LIRK AT THE CROWN sibly be said of the funny little comedian, unless it be to add that he repeated his unqualified success of week before last at the white theatre here and was just as much of a riot among the colored people as he was among the white imitations were repeatedly enchanted and it was with difficulty that he got away from them. 12 Mins in "One" and Full Stage. Bonnie Clark has an act that will stand out at any spot or place. As an imitator of the opposite sex he stacks up with the best of them. His business" and gesseing "is very lively and well-defined, as was seen here in "stock" last season. His "dance DeVentry", a whirlwind diversion in classic terpsichore, served as a lively and very interesting, set-away. Bonnie Clark is a woman of great beauty, woman and is utterly free from that studious action and mannerism common to the average female impersonator and which so often detracts from the merit of such an act. Bonnie Clark is the finale of much of its effect. This young man had them guessing at all times. His dance, a peculiarly arranged proposition, is the best bits of novelty dancing seen here for some time. It includes a little bit of everything, from the serpentine wiggle of a ballerina to the gig step. The act is well and tastefully dressed. It would go in anybody's dress. The "bif" act of the program was the Gilliam-Williams Comedy Four. Here is certainly a matchless combination of comediennes and comedians. Their work relied on the fact that they might add, also, that of the Four Cohans when they were in vaudville. There isn't a dull, listless action in the whole stunt. This quartette of funnakers is practically acts in one, no time do they appear in any stage. The last song, the girls of the act working as a sister team and Gilliam and Williams as a comedy team. As I have already said, there is "something doing" at all times, it is illuminated. It appears the illustration and is the smallest of the two, has one of the biggest voices for a little woman that has been heard at the Crown Garden for many moons. Her song "I'll Be Your Doodle" over" it has been my pleasure to listen to this season. The song was pretty and pathetic and told a beautiful story. Other song hits of the act were "Lucinda," "The Doodle," and "Yankee Doodle" the latter was the finale and showed the entire act in its fullest strength. The costumes of the girls were pretty and consisted of several changes. Gilliam was as funny as ever, trump, while Williams had the "good" as a comedian of finish and ability. --- Wanted Performers! placing the top of can in and locking it securely with locks from all parts of the table, making his escape is the talk of the room. Two Sweets closed the bill with a bundle of new stuff, one old one. This is a clever team and all credit is due them. Two Sweets come back fresh. Miss Two Sweet and she is a childish ways and was quite a favorite. Her song, "I Wonder Why," was a laugh provoker. Willie Two Sweet, in his audience and gestures, keeps his audience in an apprehension about a Southern dinner was great. SMART SET HEARD FROM William Ramsey, a well-known actor and substantial performer, in the support of Mr. S. H.

MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC 6 CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW Week of November 6. Happy John Goodloe on the Monogram The May's Return Still Popular The second big week of Happy and Ella Goodloe, the return of May and May (String Beans) and Adah Banks, was the cause for turning crowds of people away again at this house. Mr. Goodloe' is one of the most popular actors that appears in colored theaters and would make a good comedy star. String Beans, more unique than ever before, gave us a piano burlesque that was clever because of its aptness. Miss Banks sang My Cawker's song, and sweetness and as usual Will H. Dorsey, the pianist, and George Reeves, trap drummer, must again be commended for the artistic support they give to these classical numbers. George Harris, a good face comedian, gave ample satisfaction. The Original Billy Johnson at the New Grand in an All Singing Show. Something seldom seen was an all singing show at this house which gave good satisfaction throughout. Billy Johnson, who with four girls, gave some clever songs, was joined by Marianne and Lulu Miller overshadowed. Billy's rendition of "Barn Yard Rag" and "Bill from Louisville." were decidedly superior in art, as in days gone by. The white acts were Kallown Brothers, Lillian Sel- cornette and Dick Ryan, and Anna Mae Bohm and Dick Willem who gave much merriment, in "Commencement Day." The orchestra was in excellent form and more will be said of the musicians later. Buddy Glimore and wife were slated for the bill of the second half of the week, which began on Thursday. Uncle Tom's Cabin Comes to the Phoenix as a Return Play "All on account of the Porter" and "Don Roman's Daughter" were trump pictures early in the week. There was a new illustrated song as usual. The great feature of next week will be "Uncle Tom's" according to special announcement. New Photo Plays at the Phoenix. Something excellent in the moving picture line was "In the Shadow of the Pines" and "A Town Hall Comedy." There was a good illustrated song, as well as a chorus generally unites in singing the chorus. There is a change of bill nightly. The Beno Cure at the New Grand. Cameron Largay and Company in "The Rene Cure" were the main attraction for the first three days, after which the entire bill will be changed, at the church, with Richard and Arthur played a return engagement. Franklin Brothers in duets were sweet singers. Larson and Geddess, comedy bar artists, and the three Keepee Sisters combined a bill. Shilma was staged for the last half of the week, beginning Thursday evening. Illa Vincent at Mott's Pekin Theatre. Billy Nichols, Mimic, Makes "Barnyard Frolles," a one-act farce by Miller and Lyles, gave pastime pleasure at the Fekin. The two first numbers in the specialty olo. Dekl and Brown and the other two, the second and arrival Madam, Brown, a cultivated mezzo-soprano-croanto, gave good satisfaction; and Billy Nichols, the most natural and perfect mimic of his race, attended the performance, and whistles and screams.

The Goodloes and Kinky Doo Trio at the Monogram Theatre. The return of both the Goodloes in a laughable new act and the Kinky Doo Trio in a rollicking new specialty was Lillian the order of fun at the Monogram, Lillian's claities and songs that were good, and Chicken Reel Beaman, a black-face comedian from Alabama, made his first appearance in the big indy City and His Highness's musical and his line of talk was comical throughout and suitable to the house. Follies of 1911 Plus Bert A. Williams a Vaudeville Dream at the Colonial. Monday, October 30, "Ziegfeld's Folles," if not quite so invigorating as the show was last season, taught us at least two morals and one great truth during curtain time. The moral is that "Everywoman" was a nice true picture of moral perception, and the other moral is that the "review" had a more respectable flavor than ever before in the show. The one great truth is that Bert A. Williams, not lost to the memory of Williams and Walker, still shines, even as an unheralded brilliant diamond, in a heavy loaded singing production that indulged in the music. Williams is no farther in the play than he was last season, except that he introduces nearly every scene in a neat short comic monologue. His songs, which are all new and modern in the music, are not only made and made a hit, as did his dancing. A double-bodied girl, a widow with a poochie, a Dutch glee club, a grotesque fairy in red, a clown poet, Daffy Dills, a slippery elm tree, a topical scene from the folles, that were all sparkles of the program. Besides Williams, who told in good humor that he was nobody, there were Fanny Bridges, who has last, developed an artist, Beside McCoy, Leon Errol, Walter Percival and others, who, like the great big chorus, did excellent work. Terrevons L. Douglas is the author of a play soon to be produced at Motts' theater. The Kardy Kolored Kids opened at the Princess theater, St. Paul, Minn., November 5th, with other western time to follow. J. Morgan Prince has leased a residence at 3300 Wabash avenue, where he will accommodate actors in a homelike manner. Monroe Tabor, whose postcard greeting arrived from San Jose, Cal., last week, where he has been playing the Western States Circuit, has arrived in the city. --- The Dixie Trio and Thomas and Wallace, who appeared at the Grand last week, will be made a good impression. The house is to put on two shows a week after她. Clarence Cameron (white) is to appear at Quinn Chapel Church on Monday evening, November 6, according to announcement, and a large audience is . . . Madam Fairfax informs me that May Belle and Brooks, Ethiopian Sunshine, opened at the Majestic theater, Pittsfield, Massachusetts, and Hollyoke, Lawrence, Newport, R I, and other cities of Pat Sheedy's circuit to follow Miss Mabel Bant, the charming little actress, as she played with the band comedian, They opened at the Virginia theater, November 6th. Miss Gant is now wearing some pretty costumes, and what is more she has dreamy eyes. Iowen Lawson, the song writer, has left for St. Lois. Mo, to write some lyrics for Bert A Williamsu, the "WFollies" company. Two of his latest compositions are "Something Wrong" and "Keep It to Your- . . . W. Roger Jones and S. J. Smith are still at the Liberty Theater. The illustrated songs rendered last week were "I'll Change the Thorns to Roses" and Dave Baltimore's "In Dreams of Yesterday." --- The following artists are entertaining at Bowman's Marqueet Club; Leon L. Leonard, Grace Lewis, the Crump entertainer; the Musicians are Bobby Todd, Miss Mae Moore, Frank D. Withers and one of the finest trap drummers in the country. The Alia Jabo Company of Hindos have received two offers from road managers; the two offers are between the two offers and offers pending with booking accents, Manager Chester Cunningham says he hardly knows where to turn, but is out to the highest bidder. --- Will Grundy, of the Watermelon Trust vaudeville sketch, has been very ill at 3411 Wabash avenue, but is now somewhat improved. Sam Patterson has been very attentive to Mr. Grundy. Tom Le- mons, the correspondent of the C. V. B. A., and other friends have been prompt callers. Frank P. eGorge's Danabegay," which is the P. eGorge's Oasis and May, has done all things the great social musi- cal event of the waning year. Miss St. Clair White, now at the age of fifteen, basks in the light of a coming genius. Serious people need not try to scare her, for she has promised to be not afraid. She does not doma, Ruby Coleman Fulton, Carence Tisdale and others will consist of the program. The date is November 21. IS NOVEMBER The concert at Oakland Music Hall November 1, which introduced Miss C. Delpha Boyer, was not so well attended. I reviewed the program in last week's "Illinois Idea." Miss Boyer is a genuine comedian, a writer, a teacher, a class, and one that can be developed to greatness. Her first number devoted from the key at times and was a little high on account of her having a slight cold. All Miss Boyer will now need is good timing, and it is understood that she is to be at the Chicago Conservatory immediately. --- The last half of last week at the Grand presented Joe Simms in "A Friend From Home," a one-act farce, which gave good comedy and a future good comedian with a future good indorsement. "Lord Have Mercy on a Married Man" was the wrong name for a good song, but somebody ought to club every composer in the head who takes this song. But music publishers who handle these songs are really the guilty intruders. Other actors in the cast of the play Jerome and Lewis, Brown, Dale Mayo, and in the name of good as the tough girl. The white alls all gave good satisfaction. Stray Tips of the Stroll. Any one would be surprised in these days to drop into the new upstairs dining room, just above the Grand Theater, just above the Grand Theater, is also livened with good entertainers. Young Birman, a few doors above, is another popular good fellow. The grand entrance to Thirty-first and State streets, is now enjoying a nice class of trade, and Mr. Harry Kelly, the proprietor, is very popular. The proprietor, has been reopened. Raleigh Thompson and Phil E. Reed are the proprietors. The Belvedere Hotel and Buffet has been recently opened at Thirty-ninth and State streets, where everything is nicely appointed. STAGE NOTES.

Having great success, the company passed through the city last Saturday. --- The Center Stock Company at the Ruby Theater, Galveston, Tex., is full of life and ginger. George Center, principal comedian, doing "Lovers' Lane." Alma Hughes, Nicols, Stack Moore and Ruth Moore are making good. Leanna Dushon Moore said to be her friend, that of Stith Hammond her own, taking three and four encores. Charley Helm still presides over the ivories. The traps are also in good hands. Wilson and Cumbay opened at the Empire theater, Calgary, Alberta, Canada November 2, and were easily the scream of the bill. The Calgary Daily Herald says: "Wilson and Cumbay are a couple of colored comedians who provide twenty minutes of fun without any trouble to themselves, and to the intense amusement and pleasure of their audience, and to study colored pastor is good without being in any sense overdrawn." Perhaps no better praise can be given than what was seen in a publication of Mexico, in praise of the Hackley, a man who is followed as follows: the finest voice that was ever heard in Mexico within the memory of the persons now living here," is the composite voice of the professors and the who heard Madam E. Azalia Hackley, the gritted Negro soprano, at the Grand opera house Monday evenings. Madam Hackley sang the most powerful people of the city and her rocital is unanimously pronounced the most superb ever heard in Mexico. For the benefit of Busby's Minstrels, who laid over in Guthrie, Okla., October 29, Freed W. Simpson's Prize Concert Band, with Richards & Pringle's Famous Minstrels, gave a concert at 3:30 in the theater, rendering the following program: Grand Fantasia—"Old Folks at Home" Dobey Selection "Tannhaueser" Wagner "Frozen Bill" Pryor "William Gill" Instant "Charge" Luders After the rendition of the above program the members of the Busy company announced themselves as being very much surprised, also pleased with the playing of the Big West wishes to all, and remember the Big Guitar are setting the pace for all 18 piece bands. ABOARD ALLEN & QUINES PRI- VATE CAR 999. P. L. Jenkins Writes from Charlotte N. C. CINCINNATI THEATERS. THE PEKIN—THE GAITHER The Pekin repeated the good show of last week by sending in the Hillmans. This team has played here a number of times and has made many friends in the past. They have worked in their work from their former appearance but being a team of unusual high qualities, they have no trouble in making good. Simmons and Payne were held over with another bunch of good comedy, and they were also a crowd, although when they were booked they were utter strangers around here, it only took one glance at them for the audience to find out that they were made-to-order for the crowd. The show is a good comedy. The Gaither has a clever show, clean and very snappy. The card is a little shy of comedy, having two good turns the only work they do on bill is Miss Mitchie, the team of Mitchell Brady. This act has played here a number of times, and is known as a classy, hard-working pair. There is very little change in their work over their former visits, with the exception of some new songs. The band consists of sons, a musical pair, are strangers on the avenue, and they were well received. They play a number of instruments and they seemed to understand that the crowds wanted to hear some good rag time music instead of so much classic, so they played the classic, and sent on "The Monkey Rag." Notes. Thomas and Ward, one of the best known teams in vaudeville, playing on this circuit, have been booked over the Gus Sun time. A number of local performers are rehearsing for a try at stock in one of the local houses in the near future. The manager of the Pekin is considering a plan for the creation of a large vestibule in front of the house to protect the crowds that are compelled to wait for each performance.

SEATTLE—Sam Langford is grabbing the spotlight from Charlie Gates and others who have a pennant for hiring special trains and the like, for he has trained in Seattle and for he has trained in Seattle to a point on the high to make connection with the Zeelandia, which stealthy will get him to Ausralla in time to engage in some half dozes that have been arranged for JOHNSON IS IN "BAD" IN "DEAR OLD ENGLAND." New York.—Was it Jack Johnson's pompous ways in England and the flashiness the colored champion displayed with his white wife that caused such feeling of feeling in the man who defeated Jim Jeffries. Heretofore England has been a paradise for colored men. For in that country the man has been given almost as much consideration as his white opponent; in fact, some of the blacks have been made a great deal of. Colored boxers always liked to visit England, because they were British. Jack Johnson has suddenly changed to order of things. It is given out pretty straight that it was not the fact that Johnson was so Bombardier, although it had considerable to do with it, but simply the forward methods adopted by the champion and putting himself on too high a pedestal to suit even According to a letter recently received from a close follower of the situation in London, Johnson is in "in bad" with the sporting fraternity, gained his mimo much animosity in America, a feeling that was never held toward such men as Peter Jackson, George Dixon, Joe Gans and other colored boxers, with the qualifying shirt feeling in England. This is all the more remarkable in view of the fact that colored boxers have heretofore been treated with almost equal qualifying shirt feeling against Negroes in many quarters, Johnson would never have been as unpopular in America as he is now if it were not he when the championship, Johnson has drawn upon himself more animosity by his actions in public life than he did when he lifted a big favorite in the ring at Bena. JOHNSON LIKE JACKSON HAS GONE THE PRIMROSE ACCORDING TO KID CARTER. Jackson Was Treated Most Royally When He Visited England, But VI- l Same Road. San Francisco—If Kid Carter, late of Johnson's school, believed the chapson was to pieces. If the news is true, it means, I suppose, that the gay life of London has done for another great Negro heavyweight. Peter Jackson was the first that the prince's path of the big city across the water robbed of his fighting strength and cunning. When Peter first set foot in the light little ishe was feted as though he were a foreign prince. One British palace, some said it was his castle—in which to train. Peter's popularityasted quite a white, it was. Peter's fame, some said, some English standards, was the greatest battle of Peter's career, as a gruelling affair that it made physical wrecks of both men. At least that was the opinion that crystallized $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 drains, on by excesses unnatural drains, or the need for medical care so many worn and nervous men their own homes—without any additional help written that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility, quickly and should have a copy. So I have determined to use it. Of a scriptive free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who writes me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surestacting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. think I owe it to my fellow man to send me a copy in confidence, so that any man there who is weak and discouraged with work or drungging himself with harmful patient difficulties, secure what I believe is the belief in restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Do you Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Detroit, MI, and I will send you a copy of this document in a special ordinary envelope free of charge. A lot many doctors would charge $3.00 to $3.50 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. and, as neither accomplished anything in the prize ring subsequently, it looked as though there was something to base the award. In Jackson's case it might be said that satiety in the matter of ring conquest contributed to his decline. It was the ammon of his life to beat Slavin. They had wrestled in Australia since they began boxing. When Jackson accomplished his purpose he gave himself up to the pleasures of life and the joy of winning the face that kills. When his funds grew more came back to San Francisco. He maintained that a good spell of training would be for life or the ring as he clamored for it with defiance then largely a novice, and when the contest took place the once famous colored fighter wilted in a few rounds. A year or so later he was laid in his grave in Australia. Johnson never was and never will be as popular as Jackson but the same facilities for getting into the London tight life are available. There is no truth, Jack has availed himself of the privileges and is beginning to reap the whirlwind. According to Cutler, Johnson, like Jackson will have to box soon to replenish his treasury. There is every reason to be delighted. Johnson and Sam Langford is in prospect in New York but before the day comes Johnson, as Cutler tells it, would like to sharpen up his fighting qualities on a couple of white hops. The trouble is we are idiot out of them and not likely to stock up again, as there is no demand for that kind of merchandise. It was the craze for a while like hobble skirts, but now white hopes are last year's birds. Jim Flynn has the last, and then the cat of the cat that ate the canary. If the hobble outlook should grow dim again, and Jack is forced to fight to keep the wolf from the door, the New York promoters may decide to put Flynn and Johnson in the ring. I think Johnson insists on meeting a white man. It may be to smile at the idea of a Johnson-Flynn match, but where is there another in the Caucasian race better enlightened? The former licked big Al Kaufman and bigger Carl Morris, and it does not look as though there is any one else of Flynn's complexion to lick. More Cutter came back with his disturbing reports of Johnson's condition, it might have sounded ridiculous to talk of pitting Flynn against Johnson, especially after what happened once upon a time in the Mission street arena. But Flynn has been working up and this seems justification for the clash when there is no other white hope. Of course, slowing up rumors have little foundation. In fact, Johnson, with a short course of preparation, may become the first to preserve Mr. Flynn. But if it is as Cutter tells and Flynn can duplicate some of the smashes he inflicted upon poor Carl Morris, there may be a different story to tell, and the Madison Square was a veritable hornet. Flynn, they say, has a new manager in the person of Jack Curley, who used to be with the wrestler Hackenschmidt. Curley knows the angles of everything pertaining to arena events, and even booked in making matches when the new winter fights begin. Manager or no manager, Flynn's claims for recognition cannot very well be denied. CYCLONE THOMPSON IS AFTER LANGFORD. Cyclone Thompson who is on his way to Australia, expects to fight Sam Langford in Sydney, N. S. W., some time during the week. Thompson will take Hugh McIntosh to take part in six battles, the latter having the right to name his opponents. Among the mull will be Dave Cox, who will take English middleweight; Jack Lester and Langford. Thompson intends to fight at about 165 pounds and before leaving the country he will rear concealing ten pounds to the Tar Baby. ILLA VINCENT IN INDIANAPOLIS. The Great Negro Wrestler-Best in the World, Says Henry Weber, His Manager. BILLY M'CLAIN ON AUTOMOBILING It is likewise thought that Vincent is feared above the objection to fighting colored men. It is thought that more heavy wrestling. American heavy wrestler, Charley Cutler; the decision being called a draw, a thing permitted by Vincent for policy's sake. The other great wrestlers mentioned are men from other countries and who positively refuse to take on the Negro. In talking with the genialerman manager a much better view of the Negro wrestler was given to Europe in childhood. He took to the wrestling game which is the chief sport of the athletic kind in European countries. This doubtless and efficient physical training generally, perhaps having in view the ultimate efficiency of the armies of fighting men. Through the processes of training evolves every now and then, and the training is the world; these meet the approbation of countries where physical prowess is uppermost in the public mind. Vincent was one of these along with a line of others, some of whom are known to this country, the French. He has lived in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Switzerland, Belgium, and speaks fluently the languages of those countries. He has also lived in Russia. He THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER of the game. He says that he has $1,000 for the man that can beat him. The manager will try to make it possible for all to see the wonderful Vincent—the Black Panther. Jack Johnson and Billy McClain run in pairs as it concerns the automobile business. Information from the film of that famous actress, perennial the week is the hero of the great motor car race. "Don't know that I quite understand what he means by 'personality.' But the story of the step of that famous little American actress who says, 'It's my personality.' Well, let that be as it may. It will be presume that Billy has been the hero of a hard-earned automobile victory, without his laurels as a successful fight promoter. After calling attention to the fact that Billy McClain is director of the Theatre De La Renaissance, Bruxelles and manager of Sam McVea in his fight with the French government, he grows reminiscent, "McClain was here ten years ago," says he, "at the Tivoll The Australian public remember him well, as though it were yesterday. He just landed here two weeks ago, having the credit already secured by the French government to London." Rather queer isn't it? But perhaps I do not catch his meaning. Don't see how he ever made that English channel or whatever body of water that is between France and England. Have they tuned up so, possibly, the French team was coming to appear before the premier at Sydney and hear the welcome plaudits right from the "throne" about his successful Australian race. He went right in the clothes he had on, his very racing clothes and heard the delightful approba- The Australian writer says that Billy McClain is an interesting personality. There's that "personality" again; it fits better this time however. "He's not just pretty unassuming," I thought that last word was amusing at first glance, but it wasn't; it was unassuming. Then says our most eruse informant. "There are many charac-teristic traits that make him a successful motor driver." What a splendid sentence! "These are fearlessness, resourcefulness, endurance almost superhuman, but above all self control." He says "I am a very hard worker, a subject—Billy McClain, O, you Jack Johnson, you are 'skint' forty blocks. Jack was afraid of those acute corners and thus permitted Barney Oldfield to put it all over him. 'Am't no Rabbit in McClain ex- His name was flashed throughout Australia during that epoch-making period of the 1960s, when a road had been reeded off, as it were, through rain and miry slush. day and night. The heart of the "steed" and the street was the prisoner prisoners assaulting their walls. Through it all we learn that Billy' self-possession "never" deserted one time. Says the characteristic, and he was a very demon of determination. BRILLIANT GAME OF FOOTBALL. Straight University Vs. Y. M. C. A. New Orleans, La. Straight University and the Y. M. C. A. opened their football season with a lively game on Saturday, November 4, at 2:30 p.m. at Carrollton park. The teams were well matched and the game was a stubborn game with a tie score of 0 to 0. Enthusiasm ran high on both sides. The feature of the game was the timely and good interference of Straight and the wel directed punts of the Y. M. C. A. team. The last quarter was intensely exciting, both teams. Max Roy and Ralph Coleman, Straight's backs, played their positions well. Howard, Straight's center also did some strong playing. Captain Fletcher Massy's management of the Y. M. C. A. team was equally gratifying. Bearnest Drunlet, Y. M. C. A.'s end, played good ball, while his brother Charlie's punting was the sensation of the game. Bob Wells' dash around Straight's right end created great excitement as this play placed the team in the lead. Straight's goal. Though the game ended with a tie score of 0 to 0, this decided the game in the Y. M. C. A.'s favor. Everybody left the park very much enthused over the game. Both teams show good promise in this game. The team had to interest games this season. SAM M'VEY WHIPS BILL LANG. Colored Heavyweight Knocks Out Australian Fighter in Second Round. SYDNEY, South Wales—Sam McVey, the burly colored heavyweight of San Francisco, Cal., knocked out Bill Lang in a round battle. Lang never had a chance with his opponent. Immediately after the battle started McVey rushed Lang to the opes and battered him with stiff fists. Lang was knocked out by Lang. Just before the bell the Australian was staggering and wondering what was coming off. He rounded McVey feinted Lang, and when he dropped his guard sent over a right hook that sent Bill to the mat. He hobbled up at the count or six, only to be another hook that made him get forged. He arose McVey measured him with a right uppercut that landed flush on the chin. That ended the battle. McVey endured the fight. Over 6000 viewed the fight. McVey holds the heavyweight championship of Australia, which he wrested from Jack Lester last month. McVey has been signed up to meet Sam Langford, who is on his McCOMB CITY, MISS Special to THE FREEMAN. The many friends of D. Balocock are very sorry to hear of the accident that happened to you.

DEVELOPS WITHIN THE LAST TEN YEARS Although the Colored Y. M. C. A. has been organized since 1866 its development did not attract attention until the last ten years. In that time the associations have known success and their work has been hampered. It was during this extension the work of the association that the International Y. M. C. A. selected six colored secretaries to devote all their time to the colored branches. The Colored Y. M. C. A. was organized by a small group of former met at Charleston, S. C. two years after the war. These Negroes had heard of the association in its work among the Southern people and organized their association in it after the Y. M. C. A. in the South. Some time later a member of this association went to Montreal, where the international meeting was being held, and a plan for recognition as a branch of the Y. M. C. A. was established since then the two have been directed by the international association. In most cities, however, as in Indianapolis, the red branch has a committee of management under the direction of the central Y. M. C. A. NEWPORT, ARK., DOINGS. By J. Edgar Smith.
