In the midst of a crowded courtroom, full security guard, she was defended, Attorney Wm. G. Anderson and E. H. Wright made able arguments showing defects in the affidavit, in which ex-convict Lula Howard defended the indictment under the statutes of Tennessee, which left no ground whatever for the prosecution to stand on in its effort to convict her. In her arms to the merciless proceedings of a Tennessee court for alleged stealing of five chickens. Judge Discharges Woman.

SATURDAY, MAY 25, 1912. We deplore the race uprising in Cuba. We can not see that the Negroes will profit in the end. They are by no means strong enough to become the dominant factor, not to speak of the unconquerable race question. Rev. Dr. Thirkield, president of Howard University, Washington, D.C., has an excellent chance of becoming bishop in his church, which is in general conference at Minneapolis. He has received a very encouraging vote. Dr. Thirkield has given long and faithful service to the M. E. church in various capacities. He is worthy of the great office which seems to be in waiting for him. Clarence V. T. Richeson, the Boston minister, has paid the penalty of his awful crime. At no time during the trial was there anything presented that could win him sympathy, and thus reduce the hard fate. The picture of a minister on his way to execution was by no means a pleasant one, yet it had to be, because of his deeds. To have renounced his intended was poor business for one in his position, not to speak of the end to which she came at his hands. It is well that a wave of oblivion has swept clean. President Taft is making good anyhow. Had he not gone into Ohio, from the look of things, he would not have gotten a single delegate. He had to play his personality and ability against Roosevelt, against the keenest witted politicians, against unlimited means. Then, too, there always follows a crop of disappointed office-seekers, no matter who the President may be. These are arrayed against the candidate for renomination. Besides these yet, is an hurrah element, won by the noise and by the glare. These mostly were enrolled in Mr. Roosevelt's camp. In winning ten or even a half dozen delegates under the circumstances, Mr. Taft has fairly held his own. THE CUBAN SITUATION. The present situation in Cuba has been brewing for quite a while, due to the race question, which is beginning to assert itself in unexpected ways. The Negroes long since have felt that they were getting the worst of it politically, and in order to better themselves sought to organize a party of colored men, to be known in part as the Colored party. The movement met opposition of a recently enacted law prohibiting the organization of a political party called Colored. This official interference was resented; the Negroes made effort to organize in spite of the law. We are not prepared to say with surety that the present trouble follows this misunderstanding, but we suspect that it does. At that time we ventured the opinion that the Negroes would do well to maintain themselves within the parties as existing. We think of the situation somewhat as we do in this country. Clearly, however, the Cuban Negroes have had more political and civil consideration in general than the Negroes of the United States. Apparently the race question has come up within recent years, and hence the unpleasantness now noted. POLITICS NO PLACE FOR RACE QUESTION. The Philadelphia Tribune would have it appear that the administration is in some way accountable for the tightening of the color line. We think this both unfair and unwise. It is unfair because the race question is not a thing of parties. Regardless of our party line-up, the race question will remain fairly the same. Color or race prejudice is on the increase and for some good reasons, also for some bad ones. The race is not so much opposed as such as in former days. However, there is a more decided feeling as to how far the Negroes should go, what kind of work they should do and the pay they should receive. Negroes, "Ltd.," is the way it appears. The submission of the race to the terms held out has done much to reduce the unrest—a good thing to the country, perhaps, but without doubt a very poor thing for ambitious Negroes. Limited is it, on the part of one, acquiescence on the part of the other, and there you are. We are not speaking so much to the situation at this time as to those means that brought it about. No one individual or set of individuals, party or parties, are responsible. What is done at Washington as it concerns the race, is indorsed by the "opponents" of the race. To speak of Mr. Tatt's attitude in the spirit of condemnation, means that with another President the Negroes' chances would be better. It means that the Negroes' chance would improve under a Demo- cratic administration, or under Mr. Roosevelt's administration. If the criticism does not mean that, then it means nothing. The race will be foolish indeed if it throws away an opportunity to better itself even if it should come through "Jeff Davis"—Tillman, Vardaman. The illustration is not too far fetched. We think it unwise to trade on the conditions simply because of a political contest. The race question is far too grave, too profound in its anchorage, to be a "toy." Fates of men living and fates of men unborn are wrapped up in the question, saying plainly, that the utmost care and caution should obtain when dealing with it. In the history of all the world it will be seen that the struggle for race appreciation has been almost religiously regarded. In fact, and without meaning, to minimize the hold of religion, the effort to come up racially has had more universal hold, if not deeper, than religion. The human race, the human kind has been a fetish of a kind, and rightfully so, since it is the last and best of created things. Those divergent political off-shoots of the old world and now known in the new world, founded on the theory of the equality of the individual, a position which calls for the deepest concern when there is indication of violation. It would be unwise in us to go to the known extent gone by those in other parts in declaring the principle of the equality of man, yet we can be no less mindful, forbidding the trailing of the banner in the dust. Unless politics can save, positively save, the race question will profit most out of it. NEGRO BISHOP ASSIGNED. B. F. Lee to Have Charge of Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky. KANSAS CITY, Mo., May 22.—At the general conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church here today Bishop B. F. Lee was assigned to Indiana, Illinois, Iowa and Kentucky for the next four years. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Commencement at State University a Success—Monument for Mrs. Jackson—"Tallaboo" Company to Make Tour—Louisville Cubs to Drop Honor—Normal Institute and Clinton High School to Close—Grim Reaper. (By Hardin Tolbert, People's Phar- macy, Both Phones 866, Box 233.) Frankfort (Ky.) Special "Tallaboo," the greatest Negro melodrama on the American stage, will start from Louisville on the 10th of June, to make a tour of Kentucky. The presentation of the piece, the only Negro show of its kind ever written and played by a Negro, will be the cast is composed of some of the best actors on the stage. This play will serve as a great treat in our midst. Lawyer N. R. Harper, the author of "Tallaboo," will be the pioneer lawyers, James B. Speed and Harprey Marshall. After hard study he mastered law and passed a successful examination. He was admitted to the bar, and was the first colored man permitted to practice in this State. It was after he wrote "Tallaboo," which has made a great reputation for this talented gentleman. Critics class "Tallaboo" among the very best melodramas of the day. The original Louisville Cubs baseball team has won many honors in the game, and are classed among the best in the business. Because they have won some of the best games, the Cubs and Chicago, they were made to believe they were the best baseball team in Kentucky, but Lexington club is preparing to give them a hard battle, and hope to send the Cubs back to Louisville with desire. He has worked with a big name, but just watch Lexington lower their colors. Mr. Gibson Hockeney, one of the oldest citizens of the city, died at his residence on St. Clair street.

Special to THE FREEMAN Special FREMAN MICHAEL MACO. The superintendent of the late George Montague, the old veteran Chicago Freeman agent, who died at the County Hospital, May 11, where he went himself when he found that his energy was exhausted. He was the matter of only a few days, took place at the chapel of R. W. Green, the undertaker, 3382 State street, Thursday morning, May 14 at 2 a.m. m. In his office, and music was furnished by a lady soloist, who sang at the piano. "Nearer, My God, to Thee," was rendered as a meter hymn, and the "When the memoir sang" he "Present the will is Cascade." Most during, during their ceremony. Sylvester Russell was present at the funeral, representing Messrs. George L. and Elwood C. Knox, of indianapolis, Ind., owners of a freeman church, and owners of the aged gentleman warrior. The body, which was in a handsome black casket, with floral offerings, was a lifelong torque and looked as natural as the aged gentleman was at Mount Glen Cemetery. Mr. Montague was born in Anrama county, Maryland, and was thought to be over seventy years old. He was once a horse trainer. Although a man with no education, he was a stanch Republican and a close friend of Carter Manor, Sr. of Pleasanton, and Hyns Watta. In his retiring years, when he got too old to work, he became a Freeman agent and sold papers every Friday evening on the thoroughfare. He was a public place on a straight journey of over five miles. He was a unique figure, and greatly beloved by all who knew him. So characteristic was he in racial terms, he was a man of greatented comedians would impersonate his pose and personality in exclamating "Here comes the Freeman man." Mr. Montague was also a man who did not know he was dead and his presence will long be missed by his regular customers who were early readers. Mr. Montague lived alone, and the mother is still living at her home in the South. THE RUBY THEATER, LOUISVILLE, KY (By Jas. H. Price.) Manager Joplin presents for our approval this week a bill that, judging from the generous amount of applause received by every act, found instant favor with the audience. He will also shall, in a hurriedly-gotten-together and well-dressed sister act, made good from the go, and their feature song, "A Dangerous Rag," by Mike Jackson, pianist, and Elvira Johnson, doing a single, is second on the bill, and it goes without saying that she "gets hers." Neat, nifty, litchie, graceful, and faultlessly attired, this young act was loudly for the first time. The song set of which "Because I Love the Brown skin," and virtually "stormed the citadel," Thompson and Radcliff, in a black-face turn, closed the bill. The act is bringing the ginger job excellently, is hard to accomplish excellently, especially by Thompson, whose mannerisms are peculiarly his own. His song, "John Brown," goes well. Radcliff should not attempt the character of song that he is as hard as it is to write, as wise brilliant act, "Old Black Crow," while slightly antiquated, furnishes a snappy closing, and we are happy in the thought that even greater pleasures await us in the future, in this beautiful little playhouse. The Louisville Cubs. BUNCH OF BIG PLAYERS At the Union Theater, Indianapolis, Set the Town a-Talking—The Whitman Sisters and Picks, Clarence Powell and Billy Nichols.

The Whitman Sisters! The trio of famous personages are not without foundation for their talent and temperament. Their father before them, the late Rev. A. Albery Whitman, the late Rev. A. Albert Whitman Church, was preacher and poet, known, respected, loved. Wives were cast for him in the General Conference of his church for bishop. The girls are baptized with his fire of crayon and zeal, which shows their courage. Long since they have been hailed as the best of their class of performers. Those seeing them this week will not dissent from the general opinion. Alberta, the song writer and publisher, is not of their company. She is in New York where she is actively engaged and having success. I dropped in the home of Mrs. Lucy Vandyke to see the two sisters, Mabel and Easie. By the way, he is where we are now. He is a good top-notch folk. The convenience and comforts of home life are here, and the Whitmans know how to enjoy life. Their commanding position in the theatrical affairs of the city, and the little luxuries that add unto life. They make it a rule, however, to be moderate in all things. They frequently refer to help with the care of the children, as if the influence of his life and teachings yet held sway. They have had a long career for years. We have been caring for our folks for years—caring for the sick, burying the dead—and, since we have been able to do so, surely God must have been involved in stage life they have not been swerved from offices of good which spring from hearts aright. They have property and so forth, further evidence of their good The Whitmans like the good people; they like to know that good people see them and hear them; they like to know that good people see them and hear them; they like to know that good people descending to vulgarism. On seeing the great, high-toned audience that came to see them one of them burst out: "Oh, I love you," and they were more than a hundred-dollar bill. Don't tell me our people won't turn out to good shows; and she danced away in high glee. So, beyond the thing of money, there is something. Sympathy, sympathy, appreciation. The children of the stage—else they starve. The picks, Sammy and Aaron, present a team number. They are young, but clever, giving hope for the new George Walker, and the rest of them. Sammy is going to shine greatly as a comedian. Aaron is going to be the new George Walker, if he keeps up his old picture of Sammy. The same may be said Sammy, who is the poetry of motion with his feet. Their talk is good and refreshing. Their work meets shouts of approval, as that of the sisters. See Parls, then die, is what is said of the beautiful city, meaning that the individual delights. The same may be said of Clar- A. B. ence Powell, minstrel, who will not have seen the extreme representative of minstrelsy, the highest exponent of the business, uninterested in the business. He does black-face, but his race is doubtful until he makes his appearance on the street—just that clever. Too often the old minstrel don't come back. Powell has his own business, and he sees some years of service. But like wine, he has improved with age. For twelve years he has been star of Richards & Pringle's Georgia Minstrels. He has seen as many more, and make good. He has seen as a speech, with a brand new monologue filled with good things. He delivers them in fine style. He has a splendid temperament in his expression, and a speech, ready in his expression, and an expressive voice. He gives the little turns of the voice, the play on words, and so forth. His wardrobe is another name for proselytism, an elegant white flannel suit; coat, Princess of the Court, an elegant at the bottom, with the late mward roll. Sparklers ornament his person at various places, and there are other in the room. His song, "Sho Done Lost His Miracle is done in a taking way. He gets the laughs at the ending of every verse. He laughs at the ending of man as the song. His U. S. A song is the names of cities, which are ingeniously known in He winds up with a reference to Roosevelt. Powell scored heavily, proving fairly an equal attraction on the bill. Billy Nichols Billy Nichols resembles a Trio singer, who plays Alpine Mountain climber, with his oak overbush hair. He styles himself an old-time comedian and mimic him. He is that, and more, especially as he corms his mimiery. This art of his mimery is the bill-he also opens up the mouthes. His song "gin with him, ending with the descent of the end," his song "Farewell, Sweetheart," his song "Good-bye," is put over in five forms. Bert Williams touch is there, with that gestures and delivery which is such a big hit. His line of talk is new, clever, clean. Billy shines best as an imitator. His concert solo on a small whisk brook (his violin) has the shape to a virtuoso with a first-class instrument, but not comet is not nearly so sympathetic, nor comet is not nearly so sympathetic, and yet so appealing as his imitation, and yet there is a comet in of its perfection, and so appealing. The comet gave it to him. His bass violin tuning work done on an old brook (his voice), brought down the house. Then the train stop, with its slow-down, the stop, is strikingly realistic. The house roars. But hold on, wait a moment. Simply a soap box, but gets a bane out of it, giving a variety of tools with it, the box for the drums. He made good in a big way in Indianapolis. All made good in a big way in Indianapolis. W. L. Crumbleh and Davis and Miss Bay Bulley, who recently formed a trio, scored a big role in their act at the Howard Theater, Washington. John Philip, baritone, has in rehearsal "Dedemer Marmel and "To the End of the World," which he will introduce during the summer season. Billy E. Jones visited his home in Brooklyn, Sunday, while the Patti show was laying off. He is busy getting ready for the summer engagements. ROUTE.

We are just ending another week of property. The public has certainly got the airwaves and visitors are numerous. Harrison's band and Duo were the big noise of the bill, close to original Rugs, Arthur Wallage, who resides many encores. Minor acts have their own songs, and closed with a wad named the "Hoboe Trip", which made the house scream. Billy Wardial and the Wyckoffs did well. "A colonial benefit was tended to the performance," McKensey after the regular performance, this midnight affair was a grand success and many had to be turned away, and many had to be turned away, and the suggestion of Wilson H Kver and Colin Cotterill readily turned over to the committee, which brought the desired success, Mrs. Sackett resident proprietoress, also did all in her fair, and really deserves the heavy attention shown her by Mr. McKensey, when cakes filled with tears as he bid her goodness thanked all with "God bless you folks," and left for Charlottown, Tenn., his home, with the hope of returning a well man. Mr. Cotterial, Bunny, the manager of the theater, also his share of the "cheers." After the speech went to the Hotel Green Dragon, where a banquet was in evidence. Jasper Allen remembered, and the sun was up when the merrymakers turned in. At the Circle week of May 20 is the Salute to the Warriors with Salem Tutt Titt Homer and Homer Tutt THE NEW CROWN GARDEN Offered another clean, clever, little bill, and, as usual, every seat was taken for the show was at an end the lobby was crowded, awaiting admission for the second show. This little playhouse is still giving people the best seats, it is all that can be expected. While there is no show that pleases everybody, yet the average show-going person is always on the bus. Le Boeuf and St. George. A white novelty comedy gymnastic act, opened the evening's entertainment, and, after a few minutes, was pleasing. The male member of this act was little gymnastic comedian. Each trick he did brought applause from the audience. The team did some amazing stunts on the rings. This act was just long enough to make the audience laugh enough to make the audience laugh more. Emmitte Anthony Proved a laughing hit. As a monologue he is as clever as any that we have had in Indianapolis. He made the people laugh good and hearty, without any sup- THE MUSICIAN gestiveness whatever. Mr. Anthony, while young, is as good as any in his line. His song, "What's What, and Who's Who," was a hit, as well as "Dinner Is Ready in the Dining Room." In fact, everything he did was a hit* from the way he put The Russells Are just as good as they were before. In fact, Mrs. Russell has improved, making this team twice as strong as it was in the days of yore. They offered a conversation of funny sayings, each being up-to-date. Each of their song numbers was pleasing. While they were not all the latest songs, the way the Russells put them over it made the audience applaud them. This act was deserving of all the applauders, as they worked from start to finish, as the number were "Southland," "Dixie Moon," "Way Down in Georgia," and "I Want to Lead a Military Band." The Crown patrons were applauded. Kelly and Davis Offered a riot act in every way. From the time this act struck the stage until it left there was nothing but laughs for the audience. Their talk was so different from the audience that one time did Mr. Davis fail to pull a laugh in his funny way of asking and answering funny questions, Mr. Kelly, dressed in a brown jacket, had many funny situations between Mr. Davis and himself. Their song number, "Kaffir Babe," brought the house down, and they were compelled to make a bow. The audience was very impressed, some very clever dancing between the two. They finished with the audience applauding for more. We hope to see Kelly perform at the Crown orchestra still hands out good music. Manager Tim Owlesley is a wizard of the show business. He seems to know everything. The Crown patrons, no matter what happen. TWELFTH AVENUE THEATER, NASHVILLE, TENN. Seals and Fisher closed here Saturday, May 17, after three very successful weeks, playing to S. R. O. every night. We have with us the week of May 20 Josephine M.

The Star still maintains its high standard under the direction of Dave Lowe, that young, qualified, versatile character man and producer. Last week's bill was a scream from star Bristolney, night playing with R.O. Lowe sends them out yelling with glee, assisted by such people as White and White, Claude Wilson, Alma Hughes, Eugene Rogers, Lillian Taylor, and the team of Lowe and Lowe. We are all wide awake, and still marking things hum. Dave Lowe sends regards to all, including The Freeman. J. S. Welsh is business manager; M. Annie Potter, pianist; Chas. Hamilton, traps; Dave Lowe, producer and stage manager; Hirsch Bros., sole owners. Al W.

He is featuring "Down Where the Sweet Banana Grows," which scored a big hit at the Grand Opera House, New York, last week. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell Cook & Stevens at the New Grand. The bill at the New Grand this week was headed by Cook and Stevens, two famous vaudeville artists from the mast. Stevens, a director, while his excellent bartone voice won rounds of applause. Cook, who has few superiors in Chinese character, was natural and received a good reception. Stevens acted on one bill. The white acts included Ollie Young and April, experts in soap bubbles; Barr and Evans, who gave a delightful comedy sketch, and Caitis Brothers, one a fine dancer and a sweet little boy-man. The bill for the last half of last week included funnel musical trumps on the American stage; Carita Day was a popular hold-over. The white acts included Orilla Barbee and company in the Strenuous and Strenuous musical trumps. In lent; and the rest of the cast, which included Arthur Hill, Calbot Kelly and Julia Earle was good. The Three Navarros were good and Roach and Crawford also made good. Williams & Brown at the Monogram. Singularly enough, the new team of expectation at this house made good, and Williams and Brown are welcome visitors at this house. The conception of a rural piece of dramatic comedy work was not only humorously entertaining, but his dialogue was a simple, but effective piece that appears very bodyy. Miss Brown's work the dialogue was also capable. If we are to speak of voices, Miss Brown is a dramatic soprano with a voice of exceptionally compassion and empathy, completely committed. Mr. Williams is a light tenor of good quality, whose voice has some culture and sweetness. Burton and Watts gave good account of the musical sketch scene, in singing, dancing and talking. Watts at most times was very funny, but he should have had a better song. Graham and Garner gave a singing and dancing piece, quite a winsome little body, and Mr. Gardner, who is a good acrobatic dancer and a fair comedian, made good. His female musical artist was a novelty in xylophone and saxophone solos and drumming. "The Right Clew" was seen in the pictures. Illustrated Songs and Pictures at the Phoenix. The list of plays at this house on Monday night were "Bronco Bill and the Bandits," The Sacrifice and the Bandits, and the Biggles. Lucretia Knox has been the solitary, matinee and evening, for the past and present week. Strong Photo Play at the Merit. That things are moving south most rapidly, was fully demonstrated by the attendance at the Merit last Monday evening, when a special photo play was given entitled Blazing the Trail." The picture illustrated in front on an advertising board. Chicago Stage Notes. The Russells have returned from Grand Forks, N. D.

Leon Diggs has left for Salt Lake City, where he will join the Musical Byrons for a trip to the Pacific Coast. Bonny and Freeman are to leave for New York in about a week to sail for Europe immediately. Mr. Bonny is the lyric author of "Lovie Dear," which he sang last week.

They are to play four weeks on the orphanage and the seas on the farriars Mrs. Clarence Power and Mr. and Mrs. Larkins at Crescent Music Hall one night last week. When Shelton A. Brooks, the comedian and author of "There'll Come a Time," is suffering from rheumatism, made his appearance on crutches a few weeks ago, he fit was proposed. I immediately consulted William Foster, the music dealer across from the Monogram Theater, who informed me that Mr. Brooks was not in benefit. THE MASTER SHELTON A. BROOKS. Temporarily a Cripple. music publisher, of 136 Lake street, is paying him a commission royalty of twenty-five dollars a week, indefinitely. During the interview Mr. Brooks, who was told that he is much obliged to his friends, but would positively refuse a benefit.

George Reeves and Leon played a special game of pool at the Brunswick week. Leon won in the best two out of three. Reeves, who is said to be the best player, was not at his best and shot wild. Miss Lottie Grady left last week for Ann Arbor, Bay City and Jackson, Mich. she has ten weeks over the Western Vanderbilt time featuring "Circus Day," a special act, song and scenery. Young Leon, the magician and ventriloquist, me that there are no banana gardens of the own in Jacksonville, Fla. He says they shim them over from Nassau and the Bahama Islands. He also added that cotton grows Georgia, and that oranges grow at his home, and no lemons at all. So, I'm the lemon. Whenever an ignorant, hot-headed, swelled-up musician or actor gets it into his mind that he will assault the critic, swell up the audience and away time, it he is laboring under a dangerous delusion. The critic came back last week, and, like a game bantam, will come back stronger with the same time, and somebody for lack of intelligence and wrong idea of the quality of position and prestige of the critic, is liable to be slaughtered. Now, gentlemen, beware! In the mean-time, the critic's friends—athletes, prize fighters and detectives—look on and are merry. A Common Result. When ignorant, thoughtless men Insult a man with a brain Who labors with his pen, Conscience gives them pain. Sylvester Russell. Stray Tips of the Stroll.

NOTES FROM J. M. BUSBY'S MINSTRELS. (By Thomas Thompson.) JACKSON (TENN.) STAGE NOTES (By Lord Livingston.) There never was a small town that is doing what Jackson is doing. Now, the colored people are supporting a real theater. The New Grand, managed by Elden Cohen, has a seating capacity of 700. Of that amount 200 seats are reserved. A nice size stage with scenery complete and nice dressing rooms are features of this theater every night, and does a good business. This week Kelly and Kelly and Mattle Dorsey are the big noise. The team is a good one, and each of them they have been a guest to their last week in this house, and they will be welcome to Jackson at any time. Miss Dorsey is still a singing girl, and her male impersonations are about as Lou Hall, a quant comedian of the droll type, is funny, and real funny when he plays the role of a teacher there, the cast, but the balance of this space must be given to the much-heralded Brooks-Smith Players, who will open Monday. They have played in many colorful theaters throughout the South and North, and they come here with a variety of shows. Speedy Smith, the principal comedian of the troupe, is said to be a real little star, and Jackson is waiting to give Brooks-Smith Players a hearty welcome. NOTES FROM EPH WILLIAMS' FA MOUS TROUBADOURS. FRANK HENDON INFORMS STAGE STRUCK GIRLS. Dear Hendon—After reading so much of your valuable information, I am forced to come to you for a phone call. You are the man. Mr. Cook is the saint man: Mr. Puderewski is said to be the world's greatest pianist, and Mr. Oliver Perry, of Chicago, is some leader. Known for his music, and nowbody know Mr. Cook is the same, Now, Hendon listen as hard as you can. Some say that Mr. Paderewski is a Russian, others say he is a Pole. A well-conformity stage-two actor has a Pole—Esquila. Answer: Well, Es, not giving you a cold answer, but you should see those two men of music whom you know so well. Dear Hendon—If Lillian Brown knows a ting or two, what does an Albino—Etta. Answer: That's a little deep, Et. Dear Hendon—I am not a stage-struck girl. If I had a speech of talent I would get a stunt-struck and have you advise me not to know it. But you girls would do if they didn't have an up-to-date informer like you. Hendon, please help me on this little problem. There are Gotham Attucks Company, and could the Gotham Attucks Company, I don't know the meaning of the Attucks part of the name, but I know Gotham means New York City. If Gotham is New York City, is Henry Trent's city? Answer: Well, Pal, you'll have to ask the Smart Set bunch. Dear Hendon—Since reading your stace-struck stuff I am a regular dreamer. I am a big fan of Rustus Rustus Company. I could see the leading lady just as plain as the nose on your face. I cannot unsee the nose on your face. The Rustus Rustus Company when there are many new aggregations to dream of. You know the great Hogan bunch had their day. Do you git me?—Mrs. Stevenson. Answer: I've got me. Steve. Dear Hendon—Answer the following: Dear Hendon—Answer the were the sons of Ham, was John. Answer: Cut the funny stuff, Bert. Here is a little Hendonism: Henry Watterson says music has charms; Roy Pope says music alarms; Both statements were indorsed by our Jas Lager. Jas. Vaughn says it makes him tiptoe; W. L. Jackson says it makes him solo; But what in the world does our valuable Mr. Will Dearset? A PERPLEXING PROBLEM IN PROPORTION By Jas. H. Price. JOHN AND LILA MOORE PLAYING WASHINGTON (D. C.))

John and Lila Moore, the only colored eccentric character artists now playing various theaters in Washington, D.C. they played the Blue Mouse one week, the White Mouse two weeks, the Howard one week, the Blue Mouse two weeks thence to the Star theater for one week, thence to the Chelsea two weeks, thence to Grand theater one week, and returned to the Chelsea for being some isn't it, folks?

ALLEN'S PRIVATE CAR 999. THE FREEMAN. AN \LLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. Brooks, Robert Young, Wm. Shaw, P. L. Jenkins, and Bandmaster J. H. McCannon. It was a very enjoyable affair, lasting into the small hours of the morning. We received a new gold-plated $110 Holiday cornet. We noticed in a recent issue of The Freeman that the G. W. Allen Troubadours were in Meridian, Miss. We saw the rights we showed those cities, but didn't we were in town. Now, in self-defense, we have this to say: The first inking we had of their presence in those cities came when our doors opened by the Troubadours professors" each time from members of the Troubadours. We have not tossed our hat in the ring, as our fame precedes us and we always have a packed house, regardless of whose inking we have. But a standard price high-class minstrel show, and don't have any 'bawling the Jack' performance, as we are informed the Troubadours carry. Kind of this occasion, many years old and moves daily, while others are continually stranding. Get wise. CINCINNATI, O.—THE PEKIN. The Golden Gate Trio, a new act from the coast, is the offering at the Pekin for the week. This is a good, strong turn, especially in the opening, where the bunch does its very clear shining and dancing. Miss Lucy Sheppard, our dainty little comedienne, featured the biggest hit of the season when she sang a special composition on the sinkhole "Just as the Ship Went Down." By request she will render it again next week. Notes. Manile Ollie Dempsey is a smile since the Pekin passed the critical eye of the building inspector, and the second year's permit. A number of small houses were compelled to close. THEATRICAL NEWS OF CHATTANOOGA; TENN. Mr. David Darling Smith, late of Richards and Pringlees Mintreeles, has at last put in his appearance in Chattanooga daily. He was out to a banquet given by E. B.

The Acme Smoke House is headquarters for all baseball and theatrical performers. When in Chattanooga welcome. Come in, rest and smoke. THE CIRCLE THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA, PA Appearing at the Circle Theater, Philadelphia, week of May 6 was one of the best musical acts en tour. The team was billed as Mazie Mullin and Frank Wither. They were the first to play what Wagner where they came from, they were wonderful musicians, playing all brass. They are far above anything seen here before. Belyn and Luke, the fashion plates, have phenomenal voices. Their dialogue dancing act received much applause. Minor and Minor, who sing their own songs, won favor, and their eccentric dancing at the close of the act set the audience on their feet. Billy Ward entered you could not tell whether he was finishing or commencing. The reception was great, and he was not permitted to exit until he had worked himself into exhaustion. Joe Sandifer, again single, made good. The audience got together in the history of the Circle. The bill for May 13 is as follows: Harrison Stewart and Company, the Original "Rags", Miss Viola Stewart, Wykoff and Wykoff, Minor and Minor, Billy Ward, "A SIDEWALK ARGUMENT BETWEEN THREE HAMS." Ham No. 1—I hear that Frank Montgomery is going to open up stock at the Standard Theater, Philadelphia. Ham No. 1—I have had it, but there wasn't enough money in it. Ham No. 3—But they say that he ain't no cheap money. But if he ain't cheap, why does he want that time? I can beat anything he knows, and I can't get any work. Yet he can go right on in those booking offices and come out with a bunch of contracts. How does he do it? Ham No. 1—Well, I could do the same thing, but I'm holding out for more money. Ham No. 2—Yes, I'm going up to the office in a few minutes to get ten weeks, if he gives me my price. If he don't. I "Nothing doing, Bub; sorry, good day!" Ham No. 3 (sees Frank Montgomery coming in the distance)—Why, look who's coming. Why, hello. Frank Montgomery! Why, are you about to you Gee, but you are going some! Frank—Why, hello, fellows! Ham No. 2—Say, Bub, can't you use a phone? How long does it just telling the fellows that I knew would use me if you would use anybody, because we've always been good friends. Frank—Well, you are a little late! Ham No. 1—Gee, Bub, you’re sure looking fine. You just can’t beat him. I was just saying that you should have been starring long ago. Frank, will, come on, fellows, and have a drink. They all go and drink. They each, in turn, give him a little bull while drinking, then one hits him for a piece of money, then shakes hands and pats him on the back. Ham No. 3—Yes, Frank, I was just telling them that you could get more money than all the other guys put together, because I saw you do it. Goodbye old pat. Goodbye, I must shake his exit. Ham No. 1—You know he really believes what we told him. Ham No. 2—Yes, he ate it up. You know I was only kidding him when I asked him for work. Ham No. 3—He thinks that he's a producer. If he's a producer, I'm a brick-layer. FRANK MONTGOMERY ASBURY PARK, N. J. THEATRICAL NOTES Savoy—Brooks and Taylor, acrobats, scored heavily at this big house last week among seven feature acts. Jaglestone, Major Jones, Proprietor Lloyd, Fisk and Lloyd, Southern Trio, Cheers and Jones in singing and dancing, also that jolly musical team, Ray and Williams. All clean acts and fun activities, too. A. C. Fletcher will open his new house on Decoration Day. Pekin—Manager J. E. Williams opened his house Thursday of last week with three bibbles as a headliner, and as usual he will come back! Bob Shater, with his partner, Jenette Allen, did and went big in a neat and clever dancing and singing act. He will house and promises to do a big business. New Nemo—This is another adventure in the vaudeville line, located at the corner of Adams and Atkins avenue. It will feature a great production, last American houses in the seaside resort. The Congress of Races, under white tops, will be a feature this summer, and promises to be a great production, last summer. His 'Picks' have arrived home after a successful winter. Tewanka, the humourist, has opened a new season. James Europe will furnish the music at Ross Fent Farm again this season. TWELFTH AVENUE THEATER, NASHVILLE, TENN. THE J. H. BOYERS FASHION PLATE MINTRELS The Fashion Plate Minstrels opened at Alton, Ill., and delighted an appreciative audience that filled the Grand Opera House. The hearers were charmed with the music of which Arthur P. Porter ranged and rehearsed the performers, who set forth their best efforts with songs of our noted composers of almost every country. The first part setting was elaborate, the scenery being magnificent and the music of the ballet. The onlookers were at a loss to determine who was which. Mrs. Mabel Toliver, our prima donna, was perhaps, the hit of the first part of the opera, but the May which showed by its rendition the composer's genius. The manner in which she sang gave the true impression of the master's ability to compose as the birds sang in the spring. Each act in the old recorded rounds of applause, and some of the calls. The afterpiece was also a scream. The band, under the leadership of Mr. Arthur Prince, showed the composer' efforts to give gentle dignity to the music rendered before the public. Mr. Prince, Boyer a sole manager, has booked the trumpet for an indefinite period abroad. More info. JACKSONVILLE,ILL. Spencer FLEEMAN The funeral of Frank Mallory was held May 8, at Mt.
