THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE NOW TURNED TOWARD CHICAGO
MANY SOCIAL FUNCTIONS ARE PLANNED
The Anderson Banquet Marks an Epoch in Chicago's Social Affairs—Death of Jackson Gordon—Big Musical Given at Quinn Chapel—The Social Whirl.
(By Cary B. Lewis.)
CHICAGO, Ill., June 6—The eyes of the population are now turned toward the city of Chicago. Within the next week or so, delegates from every state in the union will attend the convention of the greatest Republican conventions that has ever been held in this country. From all reports, the fight between Taft and Roosevelt will bring the largest attendance ever and among this number will be a great many of the most prominent in view of this fact, arrangements are now being made to entertain the strangers within the gates. Two very big functions have been planned: one a staging area for the annual military ball at its head and the annual military ball of the Eighth regiment on June 18 at the Seventh regiment armory. During the same week, the Assembly club, one of the leading social clubs, is expected to visit the delegates.
Great Preparations
Col. John Marshall and Adi, Louie B. Anderson are making great preparations for the tour of the city at the bail. Each delegate will be complimented and this function is expected to be the grandest military affair ever given in Chicago. The entire regiment will be present, the Eisenhower regiment band, under the direction of "Bill" Berry, will furnish music for the dance. Only will the occasion be graced by the delegates, their wives and sweethearts, but the citizens of Chicago will be out in great numbers. People living in all sections of Cook county and many prominent men from out of town will be in town to dance will be given seats in the balcony and boxes to view the dancing and drilling. The Governor of the state, major general and staff have been invited, while the governor of Col. John R. Marshall will be there. Already the "Smart Set" of the city is making preparations to have new gowns, in point of dress and style, this summer for the parade. Col. John R. Marshall, Col. John R. Marshall, from Florida, are now seen on the scene and expect their comrades from their states to join them soon. They report that the great majority of the rank and file of the party favors the nomination of Roosevelt, yet will be delegates announcing another view.
The Anderson Banquet
On Tuesday night of last week, a banquet was given at Lett's cafe, in honor of the Rikkei Harry Olson and Judie W. Anderson, Maxwell Winn G. Anderson as the promoter. Many of the most distinguished judges of the 1980s were present, and the investment in political, professional and business life were present and took part on the speaking program. It was a most delightful occasion. The judges were than ever more personally and socially, a number of the leading men of the race in this city, history, music, menu, decorations and good food. The evening. The vey highest compliments were paid Mr. Anderson for having so splendidly entertained the judges in a beautiful fashion that will be long remembered by the present.
Judge Olson's Speech.
F. L. Barnett's Address:
Attorney P. I. Barnett delivered one of the highest addresses of the evening, although he was not announced on the program. Mr. Barnett is one of the leading lawyers in the state and country, with fourteen years of experience as assistant State's Attorney of Cook county.
The weight of his remarks became the more forcible when we reflect upon the success of his long career. One of the factors that made him successful was the money as a possible solution of the black man's lills. Mr. Barnett, however, was of the opinion that while n some instances, money would alleviate the Negro's condition, it would not alleviate the fact that in other instances money but aggravated the troubles of the race. This was a fine point and deserves to be emphasized, not only among colored people, but also among white people, there is a problem of the races in this country, it is a problem of principle and not of dollars. And only those who have been in the white community and the courage to stand for it, will show whatever to approach the problem.
Major R. R. Jackson.
Major R. R. Jackson, of the Eighth Illinois regiment National Guard, delivered a very happy address. He extolled the bravery of the soldiers, and part the black man played all wars and closed with a magnificent tribute to the soldiers of the Eighth regiment. Another speaker that was in fine spirits and told about the Negro decreasing his illiteracy years. Mr. Alain was senator from Louisiana, for two years, and participated in the great political battles of that section when the great Pinchback was one of the dominant spirits of
Editor Turner
Editor S. B. Turner, of the Illinois Idea, discussed "Will the Negro Support the Republican Ticket?" The remarks of Mr. Anderson were based on the point. For reasons given he thought the Negroes generally would support the Republican ticket this fall and then branched off and "took a shot at what he could well afford to, to make his criticism for the reason that he reserves unto himself the right to act as the necessities of resistance may demand. He is a clever man, fortified with intelligence and he made a clever speech. Judges Tuttle, Fry, Walker, Maxwell and Brothers and Senator Brady were among the queters with felicitous remarks. Mr. Cary B. Lewis spoke on "The Negro in journalism," he Illinois Idea says that "he has his own kind of common and common sense, which beakes for the brilliant young man a bright and happy future." Anderson is well known here and in many other sections as the habean corpus attorney, and recently was the cause of Mrs. Howard's release for being in and out of chickens in Tennessee and the court. He acted of securing her punishment when Mr. Anderson came to her aid. Mr. Anderson received a letter to Miss Delphia Boger to correct him. They reside at 3550 Prattle avenue.
Jackson Gordon's Death.
The death of Mr. Jackson Gordon removed from life's activity one of the most prominent citizens of the city. He died in his apartment at the Wellington dats. He ill only a short while, dying of appendicitis. He came to Chicago about forty years ago, and was sixty-two years old. He was engaged in politics and at the time his death was in the assessor's office. He was a member of Grace Presbyterian church, having held office in the same church as his father. He was held from the church, of which he was valuable member, last Sunday. Prominent citizens were honorary pall bearers. A carriage full of flowers were brought to the home and laid around the casket in the church. The pastor of the church, preached the sermon. He extolled the life and character of the deceased in the highest manner. He spoke of their close and intimate relationship with the pastor of the church, Y. M. C. A., and the interest he took in all things that redounded for the good of the race. He leaves a wife, two brothers and three sisters.
Dr. Daniel H. Williams returned to the city on Sunday from St. Louis, where he was the guest of the Tri-State Medical association which was in session at the hospital. He noted surgeon held special clinics at Provident hospital. The meeting, according to the latest reports from St. Louis, was a fine one and those in attendance were greeted with pleasure with the new medical operation advanced by the Chicago surgeon.

ELEVEN-YEAR-OLD ARTIST.
Negro Boy Attracts Attention of His Teachers By His Drawings.
Special to THE FREEMAN.
CONNERSVILLE, Ind., May 28.—William Rihinehart, colored, a pupil in the Fifth Grade, has drawn attention of his teachers by his drawings. He is eleven years old, and is said by his parents to have been drawing pictures of animals, and imagination runs to common objects, such as horses, cats, dogs and chickens, and with colored pencils the ad is able to excel. Excellent art sense of the show is shown in his work. He draws cats with arched backs and upraised paws, dogs at play and chickens scared by them. He had no incidentally other than that incidentally given him in the school room.
HATTIESBURG. MISS.
The Walters' Club will give a smoker Monday night at the residence of Pete Farmer . . . Mr. N. Guslinke departed for Memphis last Sunday, where he will spend the summer with his wife. The climax of the play was having some blind tiger whisky poured out the other day and one of the hangers-on around the court house told a varn about it. He said, The other night I had a tiger that broke. It fell out that broke. At the same time a cat chased a mouse across the room. The mouse dodged the cast and creep up where the bottle broke, lapped up the water, and looked warlike and made a dash for the cast dozing on the hearth, and attacked the cat with such furry that the cat ran. Why, a drop of that stuff on a rabbit's tongue would be so much better than dog's face. Look out for that stuff, boys.

tion to ministers who have churches in the country districts. Eighty per cent. |

money to pay the traveling expenses and board of their ministers while they
come to Tuskegee to take this course. 3
The minister will return to his congregation with new ideas, new 4
strength in body and mind and will more than iepay the church for the
money spent

I will be happy. Now, listen; if you have sighed, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdey advise you. I know you will never regress and around was a drunkout and around was a drunkout and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman.

She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman.
I am now making my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me to be so happy. I would like so much

Not with hot irons. But do it with kink-no-more, the greatest hair straightenment on earth. Kink-no-more will straighten the kinkiest of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from six to eight months. Water nor nothing else will make it kink again after it has been straightened. Kink-no-more is a kind wonder wizard, so marvelous does it work that one can hardly believe their own eyes. It works like magic, and is unique because there is not another preparation in the world like it. We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair that Kink-no-more will not straighten.
Kink-no-more is a is vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair, but will move from the skin to the skin, moves dandruff, promotes a luxurant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more provides a guarantee to do that is claimed for the skin of the body. We will send to any one on the receipt of $1 a regular size box of Kink-no-more, enough to straighten from one end to the other. We will send registered letter, postal money order or express money order. Liberal inoculations offered to agents. Write today for special terms. Inclose 2-century old antique books everywhere.

The colored brothers are looking unusually bright right along here. O, you watermelon days!
These are June days! Feels rather autumnish in the evenings. Makes sleeping pleasant at one's own home.
Let Mr. Roosevelt have the nerve to say, above board, I am for Negroes for offices just like I am for white men for offices, according to services rendered and according as they stand the civil service tests.
Woodrow Wilson, Champ Clarke and the rest of them, are as mum as an oyster on the question that the Negroes are raging over. Why not put them to test, especially those who swear they will have none of them, meaning Taft or Roosevelt.
The schools are pouring out their products wholesale. These enter on their real problems of life. Will they solve them? Yes, some of them. Others will be cast among the rule's exceptions. A hard, hard fate from which there seems to be no appeal. Cheers for the successful ones, tears for those that are broken on the wheel.
We have never contested the right of Theodore Roosevelt to have dismissed the whole U. S. Army if he had seen fit to do so. We said so at the time of the dismissing of the Negro troops, and because he was commander-in-chief of the army. We insisted, however, that an injustice had been done many Negro soldiers, since all of them could not have shot up Brownsville. Negroes, more or less prominent, throughout the country condemned the ex-President, insisting that he had no right to make the wholesale discharge. Furthermore, they maintained that the whole race was insulted. And it was something like that. Notwithstanding Mr. Roosevelt's right as the head of the army, he struck the cruelest blow that has ever befallen Negroes in their history as a freed people. The whole world saw the race blue penciled in the instance; scaled down just that much in the eyes of civilization. This fact will not be successfully contested. Such being the case, we cannot see why Mr. Roosevelt should be preferred over Mr. Taft.
It is clearly up to the conservative forces of the country to see to it that the foundation of the country is not in any way impaired. Mr. Roosevelt and friends are leaving nothing undone to swing the country away from its first principles. They are yelling persecution when Mr. Roosevelt has been the most considered man, the most favored man in all of our history. This very favoritism has spoiled him, turned his head, until he feels to be the child of destiny—the only one to lead the republic through possible shoals or shallows. It is a monstrous wrong to play on the people, identifying Roosevelt with Abraham Lincoln solely for the purpose of making political capital. Roosevelt and Lincoln parallel at no point of their public or private life. In fact, they are as opposed as the north and south poles. Lincoln was true to every American principle; he was modest, unassuming; he was an executive according to the Constitution, according to tradition and according to the sentiment of the people. His only jarring note was that of his stand for the emancipation of the human family, a thing consistent with all men when under the influence of the angels of their better matures. Mr. Roosevelt assaults representative government, seeking to have it vested in one individual at Washington. He will take the proxies himself, using them ad lib, and we, the modern King Lears, will go abegging for our erstwhile bounty.
ROOSEVELT CANNOT IMPROVE
OUR PRINCIPLES OF
GOVERNMENT.
The fundamental principles of our government will not be readily improved on, cannot be improved in the interest of a wholly free, a wholly self-governing people. These have in contemplation the greatest possible liberty of the individual consistent with the liberties of every other individual; the right of self-government, facilitated through representation as a thing of expediency rather than the surrender of a perogative; the abso-
lute reliance on the integrity of the different divisions of government and the individuals composing them, holding them as our further selves, rather than something totally foreign, as is insinuated by the Roosevelt teaching. The appeal to the ballot is the effective, final and thoroughly efficacious way of remedying any evil, whatsoever that manifests on the body politic. We take it, we, the laity, the most of us who rightly observe, that it is the high business of those who lead, or who would lead, to steer clear of anything, of all things that tend against greater principles. The people often lose sight of them in their momentary exultation at the glowing words of this or that idol. Then is a most dangerous moment.
Napoleon was in decline at Elbe, yet he knew that if he could show up on the streets of Paris that the Old Guard would fly to his eagles, not withstanding his capacity for harm—it was political idolatry; nothing less. He seized an occasion; showed upon the streets of Paris. 'Cest Le Emreuer!' And the world knows the rest. Most beautiful historical situations followed—Moscow and misery, decimated battalions, an enraged world, Blucher, Helena, night.
A fearful toll was paid, and by those who have ever paid the wages of political sin—the rapacity of ambitious men. The humbler hundreds of thousands paid the toll in all ways known to the altar of political sacrifice.
The political serenity of this country is threatened if Mr. Roosevelt gets in from Elbe. The old guard will doubtless rally since he has proven an attractive figure in the affairs of men. But he has done his best, but by no means his worst. We should be spared the "spectacle" of the wholly unforeseen in governmental affairs. That is to say, with Mr. Roosevelt's new nationalism and other tentative, subversive principles; the nation for once is at sea as to its future, viewing from the standpoint of his possible success.
Business concerns seek to see the beginning from the end. Revolutionary methods are perilous and will not be tried unless sanctioned by the best judgment. Governments that are liberal, progressive and successful are flirting with dissolution when listening to the siren voice of patent physicians. A government for, by and of the people cannot be improved.
HE'D DO IT AGAIN.
Let us see. Mr. Roosevelt turned the Negroes out of the army wholesale. The other day, over in Ohio, he said that he had nothing to take back, and that he would do the thing over again. Mr. Taft has been careful in appointing colored men to office where there was likelihood of racial friction resulting. To be real honest and real plain, the President has been trying to lessen the breach between the north and the south. In doing so he has denied colored men office to some extent in the south, to a noticeable extent, we may say for the sake of fairness. He, however, was not malignant; showling plainly that he was not satisfying a passion of hate when he advanced Lewis to the highest position ever held by Negroes. Many other offices were given colored men, but according to his program, where the least friction would result. If we could n some way eliminate ourselves and see the situation as it presents to others we would conclude that there are extinuting circumstances. His His southern policy has been against the race, but merely incidentally, because there is a race question. Mr. Taft is a part of it as the colored people and the white people are a part of it. He thinks to help the situation by a certain line of action; it inflames the colored people. Had he did otherwise he would have inflicted the white people. He is a creature of the people governing along their lines of dictation. What the present President has done, others have also done, the more recent ones. All have been very careful about the appointments, proceeding along the line of the least resistance. The present day presents the race question no differently. Not one presidential candidate has a new policy to advance. "What I would do if I were President," says LaFollette; but he is talking about trusts. Roosevelt, it strikes us, would have an excellent opportunity to earn the Negro votes—not to purloin them—if he should announce that he will appoint Negroes wholesale in the south. He is careful to say that he would again turn the Negroes out of the army. Why does he not say, I will put Negroes in office in the southern states and thus earn their everlasting gratitude and their votes at Chicago. Why not put it on Taft? Why do not the Negroes who have shown such lively interest in his candidacy put him to the test? They are yelling at Taft because of his careful methods of appointing Negroes to office in the south, while Roosevelt goes unassailed, notwithstanding he flung the glove in their face when he turned a Negro army out of service. The mild disposition of Mr. Taft warrants as good treatment as the Roosevelt fervor, if not better.

ALL THE NEGRO CHURCHES
Are Given a Glorious Chance to Show and Prove What Spirit it is that has Control of Them, and Each are Offered an Equal Privilege.
BY ARCHBISHOP EVANS, D. G
And now, as you, all of you, churches and all of you church members and all of you church members and all of you dark, black and gravel and most of you record, I am now going to give you one more narrow and easy and equal chance to deliver yourself and yourselves to the church despair. Directly speaking, I have never asked any of you churches or preachers for a gift of any money or help in any way, and I have never asked nineteen years I have been talking to you. I have invited volunteer help from you and all of you, in order that I might see what kind of a spirit it is that is being taught in the church as professors of Christ; and now I have plainly seen your li-will towards the voice that has cried unto you so long and to which not a one of you churches has responded to the voice that you heard calling you!
Yea. I have the authority to dictate and give command to His elect that they perish not with the wicked. Yea, obedience to the Righteous forever and ever. But I have seen that you churches are not willing to honor me, but you are willing to honor choose, be chosen, and this shows the deceency of your religion. This wisdom. No political leader can possibly deliver you from despair and from ruination. It has to be one like me, who knows the word and the word concerning you and the times and the book I am now about to send out to the True Righteous will convince them that I am the best posted speaker for God in human construction, and they will that I have no equal among men as a true leader for them. You churches are not equal in God's sight in spirit. And I will demand that you an equal in each denomination of you an equal in and by this I will be able to see if you can equally accept the privilege I bring to you, or will you equally reject it all. You know what is to know you, and know exactly what is to know you, and just what is to go become of

Special interurban cars came in from Lexington and Frankfort, with help from Lexington and Frankfort parade uniforms and took the leading role in their march through the streets, which made a "hit" with those present, and the grand parade from their wives were there. The church was so crowded that there were as many heard the exercises the best way they could from the standing in wagons, buggies, carriages, fences, and children on grown people's shoulders. Rev. D. R. Hickman, pastor of the church, preached an old-time Bible sermon, which, in possible, might have made the dead rise from the grave and Amen! Amen to the cause of the Blessed Saviour.

Dickerson beautifully entertained her dear and affectionate daughter during a little children played around on the lawn in their cute costumes. The dining room was ornamented with many lovely flowers and in the center of the table were two cakes with four candles in them. The children were years of the dear little girl. Many handsome presents were given her as a token of their best wishes. A lunch of three courses was served.

GIANTS BEAT THE A.'S TWICE.
Chicago Has Fast Aggregation—Rube Pitched Second Game.
Chief Rube Foster and his American Giants downed the A. B. C's for two games, including a win over the Northwestern lot. Daugherty nipped the first game in a ten-inning 7-5-to-5 victory in the second game by a score of 6 to 1. The A.s. played a good game, despite the lousy juniors and started off at a fast pace, finishing first in a game, scoring three runs, and that's all.
AT THE UNION THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS.
The quartet has become a favorite in Indianapolis; it is more than a quartet of singers, but also a singing feature. Constant revising the hard off and adding on, has greatly improved it. The presentation is thoroughly enriched, some parts of it making tremulous hits. Fred Davis, comedian, is manager; Clarence Chase, straight; Phil Johnson, comedian; and John Davis is Davis is also the basso of the four; his rich voice is fine support for the singing which sounds, at times, like a great symphony. Then the harmony is superb. Davis also

does a bit of his female character, seen at other times. His "Rock Pile" song is an all-around actor and a hard worker. He helps the fun along Chase is lively on his feet; he knows what to do. He has a good lead voice and is heard to advantage in the quartette singing. Phil Johnson, Chinaman, helps out in the Chinatown situation, where the fun can be made more body here—little horseplay, little singing, dancing, shooting craps, etc. Johnson is a very tallative Chinman, but he is not tall. Clarence Foster, the Cholly Boy, adds to the fun. He is good tenor, remind one of Henry Troy when singing "Consolations." Jimmy the act is pleasing as a white, fun maker and built for that purpose—to chase away the blues. The mayor of Indianapolis was present at their appearance at the Union. He made a pleasing reference to their work.
Mamie Payne is also known to the Indianapolis theater goers. She is one of those delightfully tall girls, winesome with delightful hair, her hat off of your head just the same. Her Heir and effective; they are, "Play Some On Your Violin," "Ragging the Baby to Sleep," and "In Sunny Spain" Her first individual who didn't care, rather tough individual who didn't care, she did. She winds up as a most beautiful senorita of Sunny Spain, dancing to the tinkling tambourine She shows up to her dance, and proper. Her movements are graceful and interesting, notwithstanding the fact that she sometimes gets a foot higher than her knees, very pleasing number. Her wardrobe is good. She was applauded cheerfully. Miss Payne was recently called from FIRE, New York City on account of the illness of her mother. While there she appeared at the Crescent with her usual success.
Song Hits—"Please Don't Take My Baby Grand"—Honey Moon
The bunch is new to Indianapolis, but it started off as old timers, with dash throughout their performance through the band and singing incident to such acts, the four put on a pretty little dance that looked good from the audience. The new elements were applauded. But the audience gives it to Helen Bumbray when she sings "Please Don't Take My Baby Grand." She puts this over in a surreal song with a splendid voice and suitable gestures. Who will also put over a good one in her "Honey Moon Love" song. Earl Buril sings "Going Home" in an amazing great big baritone voice which he uses to affect in his solo work and in the quartet singing. In the closing Buril takes the part of an aged Negro, proving his charlie Myers an art around performer. Charlie Myers is an art around performer. Mercy On a Married Man" in good form.
Rube, of course, was a drawing card, and his hurling was the feature of the Rockyork infield of the Windsor City towers, and in periods the chief was calm and at home, and played his game with apparent ease. Long ago experience in the diamond dust must have well at hand the fine points, and he has the best known ball player of color in history. When you think of baseball celebrities you know the Rube is a good-natured, big warrior. His control over his aggregation is somewhat unusual for a team not within the basement a league and its laws. When he gives his team the opportunity to obey it and players receiving them. To hear him tell a player what to do, one might think the player) is learning. The chief goes on to certain occasions, and to hit certain occasions, and to send it. In other words and where to send it. In other words, he is the engineer of his crew in him. He is a strictest sense. He has a smile, a laugh that he uses to issue out when he occasion presents itself. He was a strong team this year, and from the roar of four games with the Chicagoans took, prosperity point to a winning streak for the season.

Notes.
Miss Bessie Hocker is the big noise at the Pekin matinees.
Messrs. Ollie Dempsey, Henry M. Higgins, Sr., and William Anderson were the colored delegates to the Ohio Republican convention. Officer John Samples, who has been a member of the police force of this city for twenty-five years, died at his residence 2826 Preston street, June 4, from a heart attack. His native home was in Mdway, Ky. As he was known as a premier jockey, he was known as a thoroughbred racer Longford low in all his races. He was a prominent member of the Masonic fraternity, being an honorary member of Supreme Council, 33 degree. He was buried in military honors by the police department. His name appears on the police Roll of Honor. He leaves a widow and many friends to mourn his loss.
He shows his cleverness also in the closing in his old, man in prison.
The four appear in the closing half of farce comedy where the deacon was trying to make some excuse for not getting the church collection money to the bank. But Bunny Buhn takes the characters of two members of the congregation, of the amen corner, judging by their plain appearance. The judges miss of a few moments ago are now sitting sedate in their severely plain attire. They are interested in the whereabouts, for more or less amusing accusation, and they get things fixed up and up in for a good time. They got the hands all through the quartet recently closed at Heud's Theater, Cincinnati, Gomb's time.
Washington and Jones.
Whistling Novelty—An Operatic Bit.
This act and its work are known to
the best people all over the country since the team has done very much to improve the team. Jones are real classy people and world of the reception tendered them as such. Washington has a gift as well as having a lot of fields and forest so cleverly that the birds themselves would be deceived. He has studied them, thus making his imitations faithful. The mocking bird, cane rooster and rooster are among his imitation specialties. His whistling number, "The Marching Kings of Clubs," was nely received. Miss Jones is an accomplished singer the product of a Cleveland, O., conservancy.

Ninth Editon of Frank P. Beorge’s
Danabegay at the Orkland Music
Hall—Miss St. Claire White
Waxes as a True Young
Genius on Violin.
‘There was another outpouring of the
social swim on last Wednesday evening,
May 29, when Frank P. George, a most
energetic young man, presented his ninth
edition of Instrumental, vocal and dra-
matic sorcerers at Oakland Music Hall.
It was just 9 o'clock when I entered the
hall, inspired by the music of Garfield
Wilson's orchestra and the brilliancy
of a large, fashionable audience. The
star feature of the evening was Miss St.
Claire White, Chicago's youngest and
most talented’ violinist, whose work now,
T observe for the first time, can be safely
set down with those who have enough
actual ability to be recognized of genius.
She played two selections, “Han's, Sits
Concerto Opus 28," “Adazio Allegro” and
one familiar encore. Her first number
was xiven with every indication of much
more improvement than on any former
occasion, and her position and bowing
was taken with much less nervous emo-
tion, due to the careful exactions of her
teacher, who must have agreed with the
past criticisms T had given her, without
any doubt, and of which she has been
unconscious. In her execution, which is
now her Weakest point in art, ‘her labor
was not exaggerated. The tuning of her
instrument was slightly sharp, but in
spite of that the fact that her aceompan-
ist dragged a trifle and once syncopated,
her adherence to artistic value and meth-
od revealed some wonderful passazes.
in her second number, which taxed her
energy, her work was a little more care-
less, and in this particular she must be
warned, for it is a tribute to Miss White,
now at the age of sixteen, to have the
most noted critic of her own race de-
seribe her as a great discovery and a
real artist. Miss White's greatest forte
is in symphonic harmony, such as. is
heard only in the sofe, sweet whistling
breeze of the vernal meadow, and it is
this transcendency from the ordinary,
both in the intelligence of art and school-
ing, that will some day give Miss White
a place among the greatest virtuosoes of
the century. ‘The second greatest events
of the evening were two dramatic pre-
sentations, ‘The first, | a scene from
Diekens famous play,’ “Oliver Twist,’
‘and before commenting on the scene ‘I
must explain for the benefit of the wise
inquistitives that I have often see the
play.
Frank P. George as Bill Sykes again
showed himself to be agenuine natural
actor. ‘The call of Nancy was too highly
declarative, but the rest of his work was
reasonable.’ Miss Revell, as Nancy Sykes
was a new introduction, whose histrionic
ability was a light that shined Her read-
ing Was scholarly, and while her concep-
tion of the character shoWed her ability,
her portrayal was a little refined and not
quite so haggard as it should have been.
‘The climax scene was harshly realistic,
but timely, ‘“Temperment versis Soul,”
@ plavlet based upon a violin story, by
Miss St, Claire White, proved 0 Be
notable Inovation. Mr. George appeared
as the violin professor and Miss White
as the pupil. Miss White's acting was
very much of a surprise, and so great is
her intelligence that at ‘no time did she
remind us of being an amateur, and as
a@ playwright the same thing can safely
‘be sald. Mr. George in. this particular
play showed more versatility as an actor
than ever, especially in point of anima-
tion. ‘In discovering that the pupil was
his own child his acting was marked by
human pathos and the air of intellectual
grace characteristic only with an artist
who has had the advantage of good
breeding. While Mr, George carries an
undertone which serves him well, his
dialect, as the professor, was uncertain,
variegated and lost to’ racial lineage.
Other artists who participate were Annis
H. Hackley, who sang an air from Ros-
sini's “Barber of Seville,” with a light,
sWeet soprano voice that is well culti-
vated, Her second number was the
“Syniores Song,” a theme in legato, in
which her shading was finished. “W. Joe
Shoecraft “did not appear, and Opel D.
Cooper, the tenor, who had a slight cold,
sang two selections, which sustained his
past record. ‘The ‘accompanists were
Mary E. Garner, whose work was su-
perb, and Alexander O. Taylor. The or-
chestra, which consisted of Garfield Wil-
son and Charles Elgar, violins; A. Stew-
art, cornet; A. Smith, trombone; W.
Foeste, bass; W. Nealy, flute; W. Brown,
plano, and A. James, "drums, did good
work, William’ J. Kelley, Sain Fielding
and Robert Fisher, of the executive stac,
were in evidence, and a short program
of dancing concluded the evening's en-
Tat.
Four Brass Men and Johnnie Fogarty
at the Grand—Marsh Craig, Rob-
ingon and Lizzie Hart Score
on the Last Half.
“The Four Brass Men” was a perfect
musical attraction which opened ‘at the
Grand on Monday night. “Simpson, the
Black Innis, a irombone expert,” and
Piccolo Jones, an expert piccolo artist,
besides Debroite and Williams, experts
‘on the cornet and clarinet, made up a
highly musical quartette, whieh played
excellently on the sylophone-callione:. on
the finish. Lew La Mar, a raztime sing-
er and comle monoloxist, who did not
dare to Bo, the limit, made a good im-
pression. ‘The white’ acts were Johnnie
Fogerty, a musical comedy. star, who
proved to be very clever, and his leading
ihay, who shared honors with him. His
chorus people were also clever, includ-
fnz a good trio. George Paul, an excel-
Ient actor, in “Labor and the Man.” got
& very good reception. Julian and Dyer,
funny acrobats, were also on’ the bill
The second haif of last week retained
Lizzie Hart, next’ to. last on the bill,
where she made a distinct hit, and Wil:
lam B. Robinson, who shared’ the same
fortune. Marsh Craig created a sensa-
tion in’ his marvelous feats of contor-
tion. "Of the whites, Inez Baird and
company in'a ‘playlet and Jones and
Deely found favor.

Dear Friend—If I ever asks you I hope it will find you enjoying life and your wife in better health. I know Mrs. Larkins must feel better after getting away from that hard-huck and hard-knuckle life. I go to Chicago by the city, and Haggy and wife got sent also. The woman took their suit case for rent, and it was funny to see them going with a market basket to the store when they arrived. Nelly Cisco got out and had her things taken from her by the landlady. I am doing quite a bit to went to woo the cook and later got the kitchen set. It was a suey restaurant. I guess you remember it. I hope you are all feeling fine. I am going home in July. I am getting out and going to the store. I still feel as if I did just what I should have done by coming

If you go out next season, you can count on Bone Head if you can use your phone and many chances with you as anybody. I imply and I am glad that some of those big stars had a chance to try and get by, as they always said they could, but had to go to the city to get home. Give my regards to your wife and if I answer to you answer at 222 Seventh avenue, Peoria, or to the Heidelburgh, Peoria. My home address is 47 Fifth avenue, Gloversville, N. Y. Sincerely yours.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Mr. Gibson has on a tour of the country for an act to sing in and also tour. You can get a very good, clear tone from your voice in this man's house.
One thinks that their act ought to go where stranger than you, much mistaken in Philadelphia, because you have got to have the goods here.
Now, speaking of Mr. Gibson's house, I say that he has the best-kest-pleater theater of the coloured man in the vaudeville show world.
I was told that he closed Martin and Motely for what I don't know. All I know is that he showed me that. Now, that is the way of the old world. Mr. Gibson told me he didn't like my act, but that didn't make me say that he is a bad fellow. I just got busy and showed the public that I could please them.
The following were on the bill for the week of June 8. Smith and Burton; Stewart and the Fisher and Simmons; Raver and Willis; musical act; Madame Dekora. white act.

Now, the Griffin Sisters have no reason to complain, and we brought them from the West to me as they had no reason to regret their coming. Mine was the first house to put time aside for several years ago, as I was the first to visit the West, independent of booking agents, thus benefiting the performers by saving them their booking fees, besides helping secure work elsewhere after leaving me.
Dear Sir—In refutation to the alleged charge made against the Auditorium Theater, South street, near Broad, Philadelphia, of which Mr. John F. Gibson, the president, made an appearance in Martin and Martin, which appeared in the columns of your valuable paper a few weeks ago, to the effect that they have engaged in their business, their engagement, is absolutely false.
Permit me to say, we are personally acquainted with the management and all our business dealings with Mr. Gibson the Auditorium Theater is one of the best conducted of our vaudeville and moving picture houses, and under the supervision of Mr. Gibson a splendid reputation and is patronized by our best colored and white citizens.
We cannot conceive by anyone who has either personal or business dealings with Mr. Gibson nounce him anything else but fair and just in his transactions. We can understand, never, however, how any one who has not been in our business methods in carrying out their contracts could misunderstand such a man as Mr. Gibson who is most exacting in our dealings.
This, we feel, has been the case with your complainant in his alleged charge against the Auditorium Theater and its enterprising proprietor, Mr. John F. Gibson.
Thanking you in advance in permitting me an opportunity to remove a false impression of a worthy young man and institution, I remain.
Years truly,
A P. CALDWELL,
Editor Philadelphia Courant,

WHERE THE CALCIUM SHINES.
Specialist.
Much just criticism is being leveled at the average colored performers of today because of their lack of originality. The majority, it is said, will not study nor man essays to imitate the late George Walker, and every low comedian does his best to copy the mannerisms of Bert Willis, who tries with his trump act simply to footsteps of the late Bob Cole. A brilliant exception to this group of imitators, however, is Dudley, who is just himself, that's like Mr. Birch's minir man on the stage. J. Leubrie Hill also takes high rank as a producer of "first-hand" stuff. Mr. Hill has never been in the past decade, but since he has done in the past decade, but since he put over "My friend from Dixie" and "The Blackville Corporation," in such magnificent and finished style, his stock photos have been put into his own. But back to our "mutons." The Negro performer must do more studying. He must not be content studying the same old sketches off on the confining public the same old sketch, the same old songs, the same old jokes, and the same old threadbare plot. He must do something original and give weight of his name and individuality.
S. H. Dudley opened his Washington Theater June 3, putting on a fine line of vaudeville attractions and photo plays. It has the Minneapolis, and under the direction of Thomas, who left it to take over the Howard, the house made a barrel of money, and has assumed charge acting manager for Dudley. It is the intention of Mr. Dudley to arrange a chain, made up of at least twenty-five theaters, and embracing all the cities of Minnesota. After this coming season it is reported that Mr. Dudley may retire from active stage work and devote his full time to the management of the business. A black Hawk & Wright is about due, and it looks as if S. H. Dudley is the man for the job. *
Eddie Goodbar, for a number of years with Williams and Walker, and more recently a member of J. Leubrie Hill's "Blackville Corporation" company, is announced for two weeks' stay at Ford's theater, of which J. H. Hudnell is manager.
Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, universally styled "the Afro-African queen of tragedy," is enjoying a prosperous season and is enjoying a dramatic career of critics, under the direction of Trevor Ellis Jackson. She has been greeted by large and fashionable audiences at Kingston and all of the principal cities of the UK, and some of the Jones have marveled at the rare talent displayed by her genius. The Kingston Daily Telegraph says: "Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis was a revelation to her audience at the Conference night. In her several dramatic selections from Shakespeare and also humorous renditions from her Laurence Dunbar and others she kept the audience spellbound from start to finish, and no one could fail to recognize her as a master of the exacting selection and an actress of no ordinary standout and a potion scene from 'Romeo and Juliet,' the letter scene from 'Macbeth' and Porta's speech from 'The Merchant of Venice.' She was particularly exacting selections, she was particularly recalls, her vociferously enforced after each selection. Madame Nonie Bailey Hardy, who accompanies Miss Davis, contributed vocal selections and many recalls. Her remarkable contraltions have great advantage in 'All That I Ask Is Love' and Tosti's 'Good-Bye.' It is expected that Miss Davis will remain in Jamaica throughout the month of June, and will will visit Cuba and Cuba and tour the cities of the Atlantic seaboard in the South before returning to her home in Washington.
