Mr. Lewis Emphasizes Physical Training as Aid to Education. Bishop Thirkield's Touching Valedictory. Perhaps the most touching episode of the eventful day was the "valedictory" of Bishop Thirkfield as the official head of the university. After conferring the diplomas and degrees, the retiring president voiced his thanks for the many honors that had come to him during the six years of his incumbency here. The generous support he had received at the hands of the deans, the faculty, student body and citizens at large had been a source of strength to him and had enabled him to put his whole self into the work. Appreciating the high tribute paid him in giving the name, "Thirkfield Hall," to the new $90,000 Science Hall, the bishop hoped his life would be a vindication of the judgment of those who saw fit to thus honor him before his death. He gave grateful credit to Chairman Fitzgerald, of the House committee on appropriations, who came to the rescue when the provision for the science hall was about to fall. Reviewing the constructive work that had been done "on the Hill" in the past six years, Bishop Thirkfield lauded the broad-minded secretaries of the Interior, Messrs. Garfield, Ballinger and Fisher, for their practical sympathy at all times, and referred feelingly to Andrew Carnegie, who gave the magnificent $50,000 Carnegie Library, which had generated on the campus a new intellectual atmosphere, and afforded a genuine social environment for the school. He referred to the new Hall for the library. He attended the mechanical and electrical engineering are taught, and to the ample heating and lighting plant, which will meet all the needs of the university and Freemason's Hospital for mankind. He was more than brick and stone, however, declared the doctor, he valued the "Howard spirit"—the spirit of doing things in the very same way of doing the mpromptly—in a larger degree than in the university could now boast. Not numbers, but quality, has been his motto, and he is gratified to think the school has both. Concluding his engaging address, Bishop McCormick says, "My new field of labor will be New Orleans. I go there with joy, because of the opportunity it gives me for a continuation of the service I have tried to render to the students in the greatest need of help. For years I have to you, 'Go South,' and meet the largest needs of your race. Now I say to you, 'Come South,' where golden rewards are available. It is with a joyous sense of consecration to you, 'Go South,' and meet the largest needs of your race. Many in the vast audience were moved to the earnestness and sincerity which marked the utterance of the departing chief executives.

There must be a universal REVOLUTION, and "at that same time, the powers of heaven must be shaken," as was told by our Lord unto His early disciples, see Matt. 24:29 and 30, "and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn," there shall and must be "a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation," see Dan. 12:1, 2, 3, and at that TIME shall the True Righteous be delivered; the Rolling Stone shall smite the golden image, and all kingdoms shall fall, and a revolution take place in all the churches, and the stars of heaven shall then fall to the earth, see Matt. 24:15, 22, 23, 29 ver.; that is to say, the ministers shall take sides with the unrighteous and the day of vengeance --- Rev.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER must overtake them; and in order that the True Righteous, the True Elects may escape, a New Church must be formed by order of the Lord, under the Royal leading of Angel Michael, see Dan. 12:1, and this Church under the leadership of Michael shall take over the True Effects, and the True Righteous into it, as a rescue boat takes from a sinking ship the Royal guests that are aboard of that sinking vessel, provided they will heed the warning of the rescuing Crew, called the True Lights, and leave that doomed ship for the Life Boat. Listen now to what I say unto you: "At that time the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall," see Isaiah 40:28, 30, 31, and only they that do obey the voice of the Lord, Angel Michael, "they shall have new strength and shall mount up with wings as eagles do. Now, why will you halt between two opinions, lol! I have told you, get understanding by me. See! A new company of Royal Righteousness must now come into power, as the Lord demands, and for this cause I have made room for Seven hundred thousand True Elects of the True Righteous to come into the Company of Angel Michael; which is known as The Royal Trust Company of the Living God, and of Christ the Lamb; get into this company if you want to tide over the great Day of God's Wrath, which is now fully come upon you, O my people in all the world. Make haste if you will be delivered. See Isa. 28th ver. 1, 2, 5, 6, 17, 18, 19 and 20; there is no politician that can do you any good whatever, for their time is out, "The End of the Reign of the abomination" is now come, the end of the thousand two hundred and ninety days is at an end, and the thousand three hundred. ARCHBISHOP JUSTUS J. EVANS, D. G. The Archbishop, the Founder and the President of the Supreme Church of Glory; and Is the Director General of the True Light Army, Who Called the World-Wide National Negro Convention to Convene in New York, August 4, 1911; to Precede the Women's Convention in Boston, August 12. five and thirty days is now at hand, see Dan. 12:11, 12, "Fear God and give Glory unto Him, for the hour (time) of His Judgment is come"; Rev. 11:15, and Rev. 14:6, 7. There must now be gathered out of His Kingdom all things that offend, and all that they do iniquity, see Matt. 13:40 to 43; and Matt. 24:31; then hear me! 700,000 of the very Best of Men and Women of the Negro Race may have a Royal Life membership in this Royal Company, in life-saving, if they will heed the call I now make; every one that will, let them each give themselves up to God, to be used as He Wills and present themselves with their Gifts in cash, to show their will; to create unto the Lord a Treasurer, that there may be meat in His Royal House, for the weary, and the True believers in Christ. See! 700,000 divided into Seven Royal folds or Character classes, is the Order of the Formulary of the Elect Company, of the Living God, that they may "work a work in this their day; that the unrighteous will in no-wise believe though I declare it unto them, in God's Name. See Heb. 1.5, Hurry! Hurry! HURRY! HURRY! HURRY! I say, AWAKE! AWAKE! AWAKE! Now, get this! Understand what I say! I tell it to you now, that this Royal Co Association, has already been incorporated by me the second time; and it has a sufficient power, Charters and a system to gather, hold together, and control for its purposes more than a hundred million dollars; and ways to be able to create and control a Capital of one billion and seven hundred million dollars; and we are now also planned to extend the Royal corporation into thirteen (13) different States, and seven Territories, and for this cause we will Now welcome seven hundred thousand More Elect members of the Negro race to a Royal life membership of the corporation, provided, however, they will Now act Quickly and do exactly as I say do, as the Architect-Constructor, and Master-Builder with the Lord in this Royal Company; some may think it is possible for us to be hindered and defeated in our Glorious Undertaking, but I tell you, Nay! I know more than all the men in the World; I know how to defeat them in every act that they may put forth to defeat God, and in the Thing I am now commanded by Him to do. All I want now is the Strict Obedience of every Soldier and True Light, and every True Lover and Saint that joins me in this Royal, True Light Army Royal Trust Company. Mark what I tell you. I am Going to Condemn every Negro that Rejects this call I am making and I am going to keep out of this Company every man, that is unfit to be trusted in a work of this kind, and all that make their application for life-must send their own Volunteer Gift to the treasury fund, in my Name to help defray the total expense, and if they are not made welcome by me after I test them, I will refund their gift to them in full; this Royal Mansion shall not go up by fictitious material, or by a deficient quality of the very kind we seek, to make it Glorious in God's sight; but no worthy man or woman will be rejected in any wise, so let them see it, that they present themselves stripped of every fetter and chain that binds them; for the political parties and wicked powers are going to try to rule the world, all people in it, forever, but God says nay! The true righteous shall now rule, forever and ever, at any cost; hurry them! and obey God, or He will turn everyone of you into hell with the devil and his angels; hurry! I say hurry! or you shall sink down in utter despair. Give me the best characters that can be found in the Negro race by August 4th, 1912, or before August the 4th, 1913; and I will do a work with them that has never been done since the world was; and the wright of God will be stayed off the people, for His hand is now stretched out to destroy. Yea, utterly destroy all the disobedient people, the world over; and He will break up every Church, root and branch, that will not defend the work He has now called His Elects into by me, out of the Ethiopian people, called the Negro Race, which have been rejected by all other races, and relegated to the rear of all goodness; in contempt of their Creator and Redeemer. Therefore, My People, I charge You Now by the Living God; To get a move on yourselves, and form yourselves in Clubs and troops, and fear not your enemies; for God's way is your only way to escape. Remember My word; As I now tell you, that The people did not call me in to this work, neither has any man Hired me to do it; It is God Almighty Himself that commanded me to set before you this way for your success, and there is no peace or prosperity for you, as a people, and no protection for you, and no deliverance for you; until the True Righteous have been successfully put in the lead in every City and town, and in every Race and nation, the World over; For the Devil's Time is Now out; for proof see Rev. 12:10, 11, 12. Hear what I shall tell you; you must keep the devil's people out of this work, shut him out; allow his and his angels no part with you in this work; form a righteous force; it is not money that you need to qualify you to take the lead in this work; your service, if you are True, is more acceptable to God in this movement, than your money; nevertheless, all of you who have some money of your own should Give some of it to the cause according as the Lord prospers you from time to time as an example for all others to go by; this is the day of God's Harvest, and he is now calling for seven hundred thousand (700,000) Negro men and women to enlist in His harvest, and they had better come as His command Now to this Heaven or they shall be made to take their part in Hell; for proof see Matt. 25:31, to 46, lo! I have told you; and the very first set of worthy men or worthy women, in each city and town in America that takes up this work and calling, I am going to put them in power over all the rest in the lead in that city and community, and will help them to defeat their opposer, on every hand; Now see; make your applications to me in writing. With your Gigts; your name written in full and plains; and I will Recognize you; I have placed before you, and this whole Race and nation hereby, the seven Ruling Paragraphs in detail Order, showing plainly the Prime Motive, the object, and Royal purpose of this Association, Royal Trust, in order that no man or nation may have an excuse to miskow or to not understand its real purpose; and to show as well, that it is money and people that it is after, of the most and best Quality, in quantities to make it able, first, to help and protect first, each and every True and Righteous Man and Woman that belongs to the Negro race, dwelling in any part of the world, at any cost; as God will, as God orders; and as the Company will forever and ever. Then next, forever also help and defend its True Friends on any other race or nation, supporting the True principles of the Royal Kingdom of God, and Christ Jesus, the King of Glory, as it pleases and becomes able to do; that no Righteous or Honest man or woman may have any need to despise this Association and perish, as the chief priests and the Jews despised Jesus Christ in His day of Ministry upon this earth, paving out the way of Life Eternal, in the True Light of Life; DAMNED!!! therefore, every man IS, and SHALL BE, who seeks to impede the Motive, Royal, of this Church Company of Christ, the Lord and King of Glory, and Twice Damned is he that hates its name. (Signed) JUSTUS J. EVANS, D. G. President. N. B.-And I have given all of the Negro old leaders a chance and a fair warning, and if they now fail or refuse to take heed, they are shut out of the best gift of God and of Christ, the Lord, to the Negro race. LET 700,000 BE LED BY THE SPIRIT GOD. LETTER. Let the Elects know themselves, and the Elects of God understand, as it is written so shall it be; as many as are led by the spirit of God, they are the Sons (children) of God. Can there be seven hundred thousand men and women in the Negro race led by the spirit of God? If so, who are they? Where are they? Hear what I say unto you! They that are, and will now be led by the Spirit of God, they, and they only are the sons and daughters of God. And now God calls for seven hundred thousand (700,000) in the Negro (or Ethiopian) race who are now ready and willing to be led by the Royal spirit of God, and of Christ, the Lamb, now. See Romans 8th Chapter. 1. 14. Hear me! O! Negro people! which one of God's spirits are you now led by? or which one will you follow, and are now willing to follow at this time? God has seven spirits in Him, and Christ has seven spirits in Him, and the same seven spirits that are in the Father are also the very same seven spirits that are in His son, the King of Glory. For proof, see Zach. 44:2, 3, 6, 7, 9, 10. Rev. 3:1; Rev. 5:6. And I even I have these same seven spirits; as it is written, he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit, as if to say, they are the same spirits; they have the same, the very same, spirits. For proof, see I Cor. 6:17, 19, 20. This is Great Wisdom I am Now Showing You, who can take it Now I will tell you the names of God's Spirits. Spirits, which are Christ's Spirits, are are is to be that Christ is H. He is called the Spirit of H. He is called the Spirit of L; the of God and of Christ and the True Righteous is called the Spirit of K. the of the is the Spirit of T; the is the Almighty and of the King of the is Spirit of Jehovah and of the Son of Righteousness is called the Spirit of J. Therefore, H. L. K. W. T. M. & J. UNITED ARE ALMIGHTY; in life, energing the affairs of True Godiness and in the Royal EYE of the Lord God Almighty; they dwell in this form, W. M. J. T. K. H. AND IN THE HEART OF CHRIST THE LORD they dwell in this form: T. K. H. L. W. M. J., and in the royal body of God and of Christ they work systematically in system of control this way, in this form, namely W. M. J. T. K. H. L., and in the time of of war they work in this form, W. L. K. T. J. M., and in the time of Con- struction they work in this form, K. H. L. W. M. J. T., and in the work of redemption they work in this form, H. L. W. M. J. T. K., and in the time of destruction they work in this system, M. SO YOU CAN SEE BY THE Pregning explanation that neither of the Royal Spirits has the supreme all, the Time, but if the man or a people are led by either one of the seven Royal Spirits of God and of Christ Jesus the King of Glory, that man or that people are acceptable to all the other six spirits, and are united with the whole seven in life. See. I am the wisest led NOW living, and I now have placed on the face of the Charter of the Royal Trust Company seven blank lines for each person of the Seven Hundred (700,000) Thousands Elect Standard Life Members to write their names on; who wish Now to lndorse the seven royal paragraphs of the Charter; Each of them that lndors must choose to be led by some one for a novite spirit of the seven leading spiring of Christ and of God the Father; in order that they each may qualified, the power to rule from the standpoint of their own Choice; in the Royal alert body of Government Control, as they will, and as God is best pleased for them to Rule from or work from in unity with the seven, UNITED; as at the end of each line on the Charter are the same in the same series that control the seven spirit of the New World. In life. See now every man and woman OF THE 700,000 ELECTS must make themselves known as to what they each are; they are the only one of the world's respiring and the respective line of the letter of the spirit of their individual choice, on the Charter, as indorsers in life by that spirit of the letter that is at the end of the first of the first year. In the way of writing is placed on; only 100,000 is allowed to each letter and line in the Royal Elect body of the company. This first Christ only of the Building His Church, which He said He should pull up the very Gates of Hell in small, and not always against it. See Matt. 16:18. This is the way His bride is to make herself ready to be the man of the world. In the way of writing is placed on; only 8), and this is the way New Jerusalem has been. The first Christ is the way Christ will now establish His True Kingdom. See Matt. 12:47, 48, 49, and the first Christ will now make more important me to tell you yet to move at His command to it. It is now you must come at His command to heaven, or else you must depart to hell. There is no need to do so, and the first Christ will not be in the way Christ will come into life. The God's angels with Christ, in obedience to God's angels with Christ, this is your way of deliverance from despair, and every one of you that rejects, I am going to be in your own privilege after you'll be free. But you will not be so far here, and the first Christ will order to be put in power in the lead. Do away with them that try to hinder you. Your best wish must not accept this offer as being the one bound. See the first Christ as blind guides; run for your own life and get in before the storm overtakes you. No body can do you any good but your own good, and good, through me. I will know the order of Trust that we have to be the best of the True Light Army; the Supreme Victorious Church of Glory, which is Most HIGH. I, the writer and architect Builder, is Iustus, J. Evans, D. G. P. S.—Take warning! After the first of July I will call the Unrighteous, in the True Righteous refuse to answer this call, by that date, heartily; as God has commanded, so will I do.

LADIES VOLUNTEER — PUBLICLY GIVE THIS LADY, MADAME McNAIRDEE, THE PRAISE. To The Freeman. 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 Whom It May Concern and have been for ten years. I have only lived six months in any peace on earth in my home until I consulted this worthy woman. Two years ago, and since then, I am home. Making 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 TO whom If May Concern: I am the missing half of your life in misery and shame, worrying with a man that will not try once to please you, cherish or comfort you, and hold a bright light of good moral conduct before his children, by making home and caring for them, worried, cried and pleaded with him, and to no avail, you pray and let Madame McNairdey advise you. I know you will never regret it. My husband was a drunker than you, and the most wicked man that our Lord ever let live, until all at once, after reading so often of this woman, I took up courage and let her near from me. Upon seeing it, she said it was absibles, I have a model man in every respect. I will praise this woman as long as I have breath. She made my husband a man, a husband, a gentleman. I am yours in Christ and S. M. T., MRS. T. G. D. Oklahoma, Okla. My Dear Friends: Do you remember my own volunteer statement because this lady has caused me to be so happy. I would like so much A. to give you my name, but I hope you know why. I went with a young man two years and we spat all the time. We did not appoint me, until I consulted this wonderful lady. Now we are married, and have been for near three years. He is 50 years old, and he 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 that my husband has one of the best teachers in the school. No matter what you want to or know, let her hear from you, and I vow you will never regret it, cannot help be surprised, and I don't want what she is doing, and you never hear of a thing ugly that she has done. I visited her during the K. of P. Supreme Court, and I was a Christian and a leader in a good many church clubs. We chatted a good deal of such things. I find her very entertaining. I am, a ever friend, AM, OSS, OSSI. To Whom It May Concern. I have always been one of those that did not give any thought of this until about four years ago I had a great trouble and it cost me almost every dime I had, and my mother asked me one day to tell some of this trouble to this woman that we read so much about in our papers. My friend, "I feel that she can help you." I had to laugh with tears in my eyes, for I was in jail; then finally I said, "Suit yourself; anything now, so I come clear and get out of here." She let this woman hear from her and about me. We never can forget what this woman said in reply. She said in substance, "If you will pray and trust God, I will 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 half, and the who did not could not be found was returned to jail twice 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. Every month I send her twenty dollars. I have done this for four months, and shall always divide my last dime with her. I am her friend at all times. Thousands are flocking to see this wonderful lady daily. Her powerful consultation when heeded has sent sunshine to the homes of all who called. Don't put off, but call at once, if you wish to enjoy future happiness. Don't delay. Highly endorsed by all the press, teachers, preachers, lawyers and doctors, and come well recommended by four of the leading lodges, the S. M. T., United Order of True Reformers, also the Calanthan Court. The church society of her home, known by the name of United Sisters of Charity of the Missionary Church, and loved by all. God has endowed her with an unspeakable blessing to aid humanity. She deals in nothing to be ashamed of. She wants to hear from all that are in trouble or distress. dress INDIANAPOLIS AVE.

A good, sane Fourth without the death roll attachment is it. Brother Taft is now coming into his own. It's a shame he had to win his delegates twice. The Cubans may think that it is better to have rebelled and lost than not to have rebelled at all. Time has no right to be involuting, wrapping up, but expanding, sending us still greater examples of the human kind to glorify the possibilities of a great people in a great country. According to the last census, Indianapolis has 7,556 colored voters. If one should come up Indiana avenue a nice "sunshiny" day, he would think there were 75,556. Summer is well in the saddle and moving on at a satisfactory pace. Now is the time to begin for next winter. Don't get long on picnics. One outing—two at the most—ought to hold you. Mr. Roosevelt proves to be as partisan as he can possibly be. He is lking on what they are doing to him, but mum as a clam on what he did to them. We prefer to think of our Presidents as statesmen, not politicians. The preservation of this country country will depend on statesmanship and not merely politics. A majority gathered from the street corners does not equal the majority that is quietly toiling in shops and fields. A majority won by hurrah and excitement does not equal the majority won by quiet argument as to better policies. The white waiters of New York have discovered that the colored brother is useful to them at some time. They asked the colored waiters to stand by them in their strike in New York. If they had loved them all along instead of in the eleventh hour, they perhaps would have won their support. Moral: Do a little loving all along. President Taft told the colored voters what to expect in the very beginning, even before he was nominated. He was honorable and as fair as the situation warranted. If Mr. Roosevelt has more to offer, now's the time to get busy. Silence is not golden here. Men aren't given to doing more than they promise, especially politicians. The International Hotel Workers' Union opened a special bureau for enrolling the names of Negro waiters during the big strike in New York. It was insisted that their interests were the same—the white and colored waiters. Many of the colored waiters didn't see it that way. They insisted that the white union was organized mainly for the purpose of keeping the colored waiters out of first-class hotels. The Cuban Negroes have come to their inevitable—that's all. We may as well conclude that the white men are pretty much together the globe around on the Negro question. Where they are in large numbers, Negroes will be found in the back seats and will be found there until they come out on their own energy. Talking and fighting one's way will not mean much unless supported by thrift, intelligence and respectability. The dancing masters are having a time of it putting "Turkey Trot," "Bunny Hug" and "Grizzly Bear" to the bad. The International Association at Chicago this week declared against them again. Somehow, these ragtime dances seem to stick, due more to what suits the people than anything else. The dancing masters are all right in trying to put "out" the too suggestive, but they will have to be patient. The people know what they want. We will be careful not to confound the popular will as a thing wholly of numbers. As it is generally understood, numbers do stand for majority, and thus literally answering to our kind of government of majorities. It is plain enough, however, that mere numbers are not all of it. Ten careless, non-respecting citizens would outbalance eight highly self-respecting citizens, notwithstanding the government is dependent on the eight. They pay the taxes, employ the people and in all ways do what is needed to bring about a prosperous community. The mayor of Santiago, Cuba, and the members of the provincial council representing the committee of defense have handed in a protest to Gen. Jose D. J. Monteagudo, the commander of the government troops, against the arming of Negroes as guerillas. Gen- --- eral Monteagudo replied that a large proportion of the regular troops were Negroes and had hitherto proved perfectly reliable. There had not been a single case of desertion among them. This speaks very well for the Negro regulars, and because they know that the Negro race doesn't get a square deal. The voice of the primary is merely the technical voice of the electors, ruling because of a previous agreement to that effect. The actual voice and sentiment are with the real majorities, and which majorities are best understood to mean more than mere numbers. They include those individuals who possess those things which make for the substantial citizen, and on whom depends the greater things for progress in our communities. Unless this conserving force also enters in the result as an influence, the verdict is partial, not representative of that majority thought of by the founders of the government. A very few men are prepared to give advice on the Cuban situation. Rebellion is preferred to slavery, but it is not understood that the Cubans are in a state of bondage. They enjoy much more freedom than the Negroes of the States. Rebellion as a thing of protest is a pretty costly affair, and especially when nothing is gained. It may be that the spirit of rebellion as an expression of manhood adds to a people whether they are victors or victims, and we think this is the case when it is promoted by the nobility in man that refuses to see in any other man more than an equal. This has no reference to wealth, education, respectability; for they do require a different kind of respect. A home beautiful movement among the colored people is on in Nashville, Tenn. A good many more cities could stand moves of the kind, including Indianapolis. Premiums are now being awarded in Nashville for the best-bet premises. It is very much to the credit of those at the head of the movement that they are so thoughtful and interested. Poorly-kept premises are considered a sign of a colored people's community, and it is generally a true sign. This being a fact, it is up to them to make good the boast that we are no worse than others are. It is damaging enough accusation that colored people as residents bring down the price of property without it being borne out in evidence by way of ugly surroundings. Civic pride is a somewhat late development, but it seems to be on, and should be encouraged. Personal pride has been on for a long time. In fact, we have exhibited an undue share of that, and at the expense of the other. NEGRO K. OF P.'S WIN. The United States Supreme Court has ruled in favor of the Negro Pythians, setting aside the decree of the Supreme Court of Georgia, which enjoined Negro men from incorporating a grand lodge in that State under the name of K. of P. Opinion of the court announced by Chief Justice White; Justice Holmes dissenting. We have felt all along that the Supreme Court would decide in favor of the Negro Knights when the circumstances were fairly put before it. We considered and appreciated the danger of using one's devices, patents and so forth. But, seemingly, in this case, the idea of the founder of the K. P. order meant to bestow a universal benefit if men chose to accept his works as such. Then, too, time had a part to play, undisturbed possession and the rest of it that tend to make good a claim. The result is most gratifying from more than one viewpoint. The Supreme Court can be trusted when the pressure is too severe. This fact is as important, if not more so, than the sweeping decision. The lodges could be as effective under another name, but confidence destroyed of the court would strike more than Pythians down. The colored people ought to feel pretty well about it. HE THINKS WE WISH TO "BELONG TO HIM." "He thinks we wish to belong to him." Someone said that Emerson said this of someone, who evidently thought that way as it concerned the people. Mr. Roosevelt thinks we wish to belong to him, and far too many are indulging him in his whim. He is demonstrating an unpleasant truth, nevertheless, and which is none too soon. He is demonstrating that the thing of hero worship is alarmingly big in man, and with but little encouragement can be carried to where his existence is threatened. It is a saving sense, all right enough, when ordinarily employed, since it means the honoring of those who give the country conspicuous service, meaning gratitude and appreciation, conserving qualities of progressive countries. Grant was an idol of the people. He was genuinely loved. He was not particularly brilliant in anything he did, but gave the impression as being solid, thorough and well balanced. In the movement for placing him in the executive chair for the third time, he manifested the same sterling qualities noted of when taking Richmond. He thought to answer the pressure brought to bear on him as a third term candidate in an affirmative way, but took no active steps in promoting it. Had he taken advantage of his opportunity as Roosevelt has, he would have brought about his nomination. This thought, of course, includes an eight-year period of training along presidential domination lines such as we have "enjoyed" under Roosevelt. Had Mr. Roosevelt been merely president during his terms, he would not have had the country worked up to the third term pitch. He has taught many of us to think that after him were the end of things—"he thinks we wish to belong to him." As a ruler in a small state, Mr. Roosevelt would be justified in using all the statecraft and politics he knows to bring about desired ends. We, with our limitations, written and understood have not anticipated the too dramatic in our political career. We have been unusually careful in selecting public servants proceeding along the theory of a principle of the prospective Republican platform suggested by Senator Root, that "the fundamental con- large were per en a hem. legro that square sideration is that public servants shall be soberly elected rather than carelessly elected and then cashiered." While this is not strictly applicable to the case in hand, yet it carried out will care for the situation, since it means selection of individuals for offices who will hold such offices as public trusts and not private snaps. honest girls, 'twas "some opening." Everything was tastefully arranged, and the large tent was filled to overflowing with the impatient patrons, eager to see the best bill that has been presented in our city for months. The only disappointment of the evening was the failure of the ever popular Miss Fannie Wise to arrive in time to take part in the opening. We hasten to performers, far and near as front rank performers, will tell "Picks," Sammy and Aaron, are the fea- other when Some me are a PRO Keegee Mr. Roosevelt uses his opportunity as if it were the unusual, playing to the "galleries," where the thing of hero worship is rampant, and where there is not much thought of enduring government, winning on its creed, profession and practices, rather than on the reputations and activities of individuals as such. The ex-President has some goodly qualities, true enough, but has absolutely nothing to his credit that entitles him to be considered great, except in his activity, and which has been more to keep him in the public mind than to serve the public. He has played ever string which has meant Roosevelt advancement through the cheap and easy route of personal admiration. A series of good fortune led him to the presidency supported by his show and tinsel—the ultra theatrical, that deludes for the moment, but which will not stand the hard and stern wear of sturdy progression. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Commencement of the Normal Institute and the Clinton Street High School—Dr. H. P. Taylor a Candidate for Grand Medical Registrar of the State K. of P's—New Enterprise—Tallaboo Victory—Mrs. Saffell's Reception for Tallaboo a Large Social "Hit." By Hardin Tolbert, At People's Pharmacist Both Phones 666-623, 233 Frankfort (Ky. Special Frankfort (KY). Specialist. A three-course menu was served. A three-course menu was served. The closing of the Clinton Street High School marked a great epoch in its history. There never was a larger crowd than the students who attended the chapel to witness the commendable exercises. The kindergarten and intermediate classes held their exercises on the campus. A melodramma was presented by the faculty, and showed a very artistic taste in the teachers' selection of pieces. Miss Selena Mayo, director of the domestic science department, was the principal exercises were held at the Capital Theater Thursday evening. The largest crowd of colored and white people that ever assembled in the school district of graduates from the high school department were presented: Misses S. A. Taylor, K. W. Hancock, A. Hays, E. O. Hays, and S. E. James. The following were from the domestic science department: Misses F. Robinson, M. B. Smith, L. S. Harris, E. W. James, Jessi Harris, E. S. James. An in-to-date program was rendered. Superintendent H. C. McKee presented the diplomas. Dr. H. P. Smith, of Versailles, made the "hit of all ages" to the students of the college and was highly praised by both the white and colored people—people of high standing and education, who are able to fully appreciate the work of the faculty. Taylor is a graduate of the famous Medary Medical College, and is one of the main workers of the K. of P.—one who has worked hard for the program. Taylor is centered Dr. Taylor Weaver for the grand medical registrar of the State, and there is no question as to his ability to fill the position ably. The attention of the faculty is centered Dr. Taylor Weaver that every knight is loyal to the idea of Pythianism, and as a result of this loyalty, we are sure Dr Taylor will be excused for the position of State. Dr. Underwood presented Professor with a diamond ring as a token from the people for his faithful services. We are sure Dr Taylor Weaver at the Clinton Street High School. A nice program was rendered, and a four-course menu served. The U. B. F. and S. M. T. held their annual service at the Corinthian Baptist Church. Special interurban cars came from corinthian churches for number of visitors and friends was present witness the occasion. Rev. E. J. Jackson delivered an eloquent sermon. A splendid program was rendered. Mr. Luke Bucy is one of the highly respected citizens of this city and is a widower. His residence is on Washington street. He has a cozy room furnished by a plumbing he purchased for his daughter, who is now dead. He values this piece of furniture highly. Mr. Bucy is a member of the G. A. R. and, he is a perfect gentleman in every respect. For years he was employed at the State House. Mr. John Hush has launched a new enterprise on Normal Heights. It is a first-class restaurant, and Saturday was a young man who is taking the right steps. He is ably assisted by his wife. We hope to see this settlement of colored people conduct the business of the little town. The regret of many citizens is expressed at the departure of Mrs. Florence Young, a popular young woman, who will be married to Mrs. Young. Mrs. Young was highly entertained by Mrs. Wood family and Mrs. J. H. Trumble at the residence of Mrs. James Brown. Mrs. Brown's lovely home is modern throughout and is an ideal place. Mrs. Young encounters many of her friends and invites them to Harrisburg as her guests. Mrs. Lizzie Waters spent Sunday in Versailles. Mrs. George Slaughters, of Lexington, spent a few days in the city, the guest of Miss Katie Willis. Miss Dot Mac Douthitt, of Mt. Sterling, a very popular and famous young lady, who is a teacher in the public schools, was the guest of the city and attended the commencement of K. N. I. I. THESPIANISM IN LOUISVILLE, KY. (By James H. Price.) On Monday night the Walnut Street Park theater opened as per schedule and honest girls, 'twas "some opening." Everything was tastefully arranged, and the large tent was filled to overflowing with the impatient patrons, eager to see the performance, and eager to enjoy the city for months. The only disappointment of the evening was the failure of the ever popular Miss Fannie Wise to arrive time to take part in the opener. When Wise arrived, as front rank performers, with their "Picks", Sammy and Aaron, are the feature act, and are undoubtedly "bottled in" for the show. The cavort nimbly about the stage as of vore, displaying gorgeous gowns and dainty lingerie. Miss Essie starring with the best actress, is the only one if such they must be called, but this term reminds us of plantation work, and these accomplished lads have long since graduated from college, and the best minor act in the business, entertain immensely with singing and dancing, and hold their own at all times. Aaron, straight, is especially fitting, articulation, and poise. The only exception is the excellence. His "Ever Loving Blue-Eyed Sue" is the class. Manager Clark is to be commended for his splendid opener, and next week, Muriel Ringgold, Ram Smith, and Whitman Sisters and Picks. The Ruby Theater The Ruby theater hands us a very classy bill, and the theater bugs are responding accordingly. Brown and Williams, of Williams and Walker, and Smart and their artistic make-up and cultivated voices at once stamp them as "having 'em." "What Makes Life Worth While," original by Mr. Williams, gets 'em Closer, the closing song, "is the King." The king is a pleasing diversion. Brown and Crosby, late with "My Friend From Dixie," have a neat turn and the audiences seem very much interested. The voice is very daly, and while she doesn't possess a strong voice, 'tis of sufficient volume to enable her to successfully do her song. Brown, very neat and clever, scores monologue specialist, completes the bill, and gets by nicely with his eccentricities. The Critic Insulted. Wi'hin the last six or seven months, and all during the winter time when we are in the office, the theater has provided the preter of the Olio theater has provided the theater going public with inferior acts for the most part, refusing to pay for legitimate acts. Some of these acts were criticized by the public, and criticize same harshly on several occasions. Mr. Hogan has taken exception to, and says that he has been malicious and boastful about the occasion, stands matters, a newspaper is a public servant, elected to kick when the public is treated unfairly and without consideration, and boasts that the occasion others handle same. Mr. Hogan has an owner manager need be afraid of good, clean acts, but the writer of this article will at all times seriously condemn an act that he considers to be unfair to America. No fair minded manager will object to just criticism, not only that but will do their utmost to assist in the support of all good, clean, legitimate acts. THE UNION THEATER, INDIANAPOLIS—A BILL OF GOOD ATTRACTIONS. WHITE AND WHITE. Song Hit, "I Want All That I Gave You," by Lillie White. White and White, Charlie and Lillie are putting on some laughable stuff; especially where Charlie is compelled to disrobe at the point of a gun in Lillies hand and you are not sure what to You." He comes off with the duds, but he is in his contortionist outfit at the wind up ready for his "death defying feats." A contortionist he is positively the only individual that can dislocate his neck and keep right on living. He throws his two hands behind his head at the neck and slowly lifts his hands back falls on two hands just as if he were to do a back hand spring, resting on his hands, however while his head swings backward and forward. In Greenwood, S. C., not long since he was disturbed by a boisterous crowd while doing this feat. He holds that if his head and neck are in plumb with the neck bent, he is now moved him while his neck and head were out of gear. He twisted them to one side, and, of course, they did not go to their usual place, doomed to remain required to be in shape. This work is alarming all through most wonderful. The team work is clever. Charlie shows him a comedian and pleasing style. Miss White is the vim, sings well and holds her own in the sound. We were at the Olie Theater, Louisville. GREER AND GREER. Featuring "All Night Long"—Marie Greer. This team puts on a good quality of singing, talking and dancing. The male member of the team is Miss Greer, who knows how to put the talk to him. His eccentric dancing is amusing and gets him in good style. It is his own composition. Miss Greer is an earnest, pleasing worker. Her Spot-light song, "All Night," is a song that takes air that is well sung and with a musical voice. "The Flagman," by the male member, is well received. He is assisted by the stage lighted up and going along. The house enjoyed this immensely. The team works in a considerable experience stage, having been with some of the larger aggregations, such as Black Patti's. They are well received. Song Hit, "Please Don't Take My Baby, Grand." Miss Bumray is a hold-over from last week, one of the Victoria Four. She proved a jewel of the bunch, punching Please Don't Take by Baby Grand. She has been singing voice and manners won for her at once. This week she adds "Oceana Roll," which with her stage setting for four songs, makes a single number. She makes this song about Pliano Joe fairly descriptive, telling "them" to take all he has, the clothes on the rack and those on his back, the dog and those so they leave his piano his baby grand. Miss Bumbray has made a place for others and is a favorite in less than two weeks. She is a splendid looker and wears good clothes. She is received nicely by the girls. EMMET ANTHONY Comedian—Can Make Good on Any Bill. If comedians were marked bad, indifferent, good, excellent, Emmet Anthony would be set down in the excellent class. He is a young man who is droll by nature; he carries this further in his stage work, but he is not a comedian. And then he has no waste expression; that is, he is all hits. If he should happen to tell an old "gag," he takes his time; dresses it up like a comedian and it comes out in a taking style. However, he is original, and does not need to imitate anybody. He belongs to those few who set the pace, such as Bert Wilhelm. His singing is just as unique, interesting and taking. "Who's Who and What's What" is cleverly done and gets him the hands. Anthony will answer on any bill. HAPPY LOCKHART. Featureting, "The Houn' Dawg" Song, Lockhart makes a happy hit in the well known "Houn Dog" song. Got a a quiet kickin' dog that puts it on in that quiet "Innocence Abroad" way that is amusing. He has also an interesting line of talks with a good style. His gang is of the eccentric kind. He gets his share of the applause. DRACO'S DOGS. smaller, smaller, smaller bigger, bigger, bigger sitting, sitting, sitting seeping.

She is also threatened with tuberculosis. She clever soubrette and character woman had to cancer and engagement at the hospital in Chicago with Eileen last night. She hopes to take her next engagement in Philadephia soon. It is strange that there are no nice little dramatic stunts and comedies seen on our stage such as seen in all vaudeville shows. Take Keith's house in Indianapolis, the bill never consist of whistling and dancing, as most of colored houses. It must be the audiences are not prepared for the little fifteen performers can't get the stuff over right; morals, little comedies that tell something and amuse in the audience. Get me, pretence. Some say the little dramas won't take, or that the little comedies of the higher order won't. When the Whitman Stallion were in Indianapolis they didn't. The little comedy for a close friend went big. This was fine bed, and yet they could have done something much better along the line, for it is in them. Others can do better and perhaps do better than reach this three to four people. The stage carpenters and so forth will swel lest the numbers. Elaborate setting list is all they need.

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN String-Beans a Hit, as Well as Thornton and Long. Monday night the Crown Garden offered to its patrons four big acts, and each act proved to be a hit. The Crown's shows are, as a rule, always good. Even now, during this hot weather, the Crown is centilated, which makes it a very pleasant place for one to spend an evening in witnessing an entertainment. Manager Tim is always busy in his wizard way of handling the show situation; in bringing to light something new in the show-going public wishes to see. The Original String Beans. Known to us generally as May and May, was, as usual, a riot. Mr. May is becoming more of a egregious comedian than the usual day of love. Mr. May looks the same as when we last saw her—young and pretty. Their act is a singing and talking one, but good, good music. They are the usual songs, all of which are hits“Ball the Jack Rage,”“All Night Long” and others. Mr. May also presides at the annual drawing card. Some act and some drawing card. Thornton and Long. Two men who know how and do deliver the goods. The comedian of this team, Mr. Thornton, is very clever, using some good songs, his best hit being "Bring Back My Loving Man." Mr. Long as a straight man is, indeed, very clever. Between he and me and everyone there are very nice situations brought to light. Mr. Long's big son hit is. "You've Got Me Hypnotized." The audience began to laugh from the audience, and the audience finished the finish. In a song number; namely, "You Can't Expect Kisses From Me," with telephone effect, many laughs were Chas. Gilpin Is one more clever colored actor. As an a character comedian Mr. Gilpin pleased the Crown audience in every respect. Variety is what the show-going audience sees, and Mr. Gilpin's part of the entertainment gave the Crown bill that touch. Gardner and Graham are both clever performers. The act offered by this clever pair was pleasing. The act offered by the audience. What more can be asked for. Miss Graham is a dainty little sou THE WEDDING OF THE MARRIED COPPER AND SILVER COPPER GARDNER AND GRAHAM. brette, who dances and sings well. The boyman song and dance number offered by Mr. Gardner was a knockout. This team won their way into the hearts of the audience. Gardner and Graham are good. The Crown orchestra still hands out good music. Prof. W. A. Kelly knows how. I see where Miss Ada Banks Davis in planoiage, will headline at the Crown performance, good shows are welcome to see and Tim E. Owsley says we shall have them. By K. C. E. LOUISVILLE CUBS DEFEAT EV.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW UMBRIAN GLEE CLUB CON- CERT AT QUINN CHAPEL Madam Anita Patti Brown Charms -Her Hearers in Scene "from the Lakme" Chicago has long been known for its notable June concerts, which take the place of weddings, and in this particular season, the Michigan float heavier upon the air than in any other city, the most wonderful of musical events can safely be ventured upon without any fear or terror of the church season. Limiting the number of Church events, occasion of June 5 again presented a large audience to honor the Umbrian Glee Club with its new edition of mandolin and guitar numbers. But the artistic and social event of the month is Madam Anita Patti Brown, a woman who possesses the most remarkable coloratura voice of any singer of her race. The artistic singer must make it plain that we are working in the regions of the higher art and education, which appeals only to those who are intelligent enough to understand. We were not only the first to some of the illiterate singers and dancers get angry and kick up because they do not understand, but we were seated in a temple where concerted actors with the ability of ability and learning would be barred. The Umbria Glee Club was with us again in better form than we have heard in the past. We have the energy of their new director, Pedro T. Tinsley, "Legend of the Rhine" was given in a spirted manner. "The Glee Club" and "Tar's Farewell" met with immediate favor on its popularity, it being well sung. The mandolin and guitar club made its first appearance and like babies in the cradle, found encouragement, for their reading was very good, while their weariness of the guitar played by Livelier music would have been best, for the guitars dragged woefully, but withal, their really acceptable appearance served as a good preparatory school Robert M. Shelby's mandolin soles were quite a surprise in symphonic harmony, and marvelous in a way, especially the prison music from "I Trovatore," which only a lack in time to its difficult fingering, is perfect. Mrs. L. B. Smith accompanied the madam nicely and recited. T. Theodore had carefully and cordially Jordan played for the glee club. A Good Comedy Bill at the New Grand We were enthused by good comedy fitters and artificial hypnotism at the New Grand Hotel, the Rogers and Wiley, one of the brightest colored teams in vaudelle, were a popular return card. Stella Wiley is as chick as ever, and the Rogers in beak-biting brought forth the heartiest encores on the bill. Gerard and Gardner was the best white act. Eddie Girard, who is a known actress, and Rogers over with fun, especially in a hypnotic spell when Miss Gardner, who is a good singer, had thrown a spell upon Adler. Adler was a comedian hypnotism introduced the man as a mimic, and some of his imitations were natural and great. Morrissey and I was in a singing and dancing old some good gags. One fellow had nerve and the other was clever enough to have branched out. The Four Nelson Comeques were simply immense. The last half of last week had "A Night in a Monkey Music Hall," which was simply great. The band was simply great. Lowell and Esther Drew in "At the Drug Store" were clever. "Esmerela," an xylophonist, easily made good, and Johnny Fogarty might give us another call and bring his leading lady. Lively Colored Acts Fill the Mono- gram. There was much merriment in the bill which filled the Monogram on last Monday evening's 8 o'clock performance. Siblings and below them, the line, made their dangerous bow to the Windy City. If I am to speak of the comedian as a fun-maker, should say that he is good expressionist. The lad is too lovely and equal to the demands of her work. Their act was well framed, and their dialogue was very good, except a few expressionist performance. All their songs were good, including "Lingering Love," a duet which made a hit. Green, Pugh and Green evaporated in the mono solo sketch of the kind created quite as much good fun as they did on their former visit. Earl Walker and Miss Taylor, a new Walker, whose work and style is well known, had to labor throughout the dialogue and songs besides his dancing. Hattie Garland, a singing soubret with a song, gave good satisfaction and will be able to return again if she can bring some new songs of the same order and dresses well.

MORGATOWN, W. Va.—The Alabama Minstrels, under the management of Mr. P. J. Porter, opened in Cicerain, Ga., in 1856. The building is still turning them away nightly. Having played a number of stands in Pennsylvania we are now in West Virginia enjoying the beautiful scenery, neither in connection with good business. The roster of the show is as follows: Masses. Porter, manager, and J. C. Mullis assistant. Mr. J. Dumas, our stage manager, has arranged a show lasting two hours and a half, and its a screamer from start to finish. We think we can say too much, as he has everything arranged first class. The people who are funmakers on the stage are the following: J. Dumas and wife, J. Dumas and friend, Messrs. Priedegon and Strickler are making a big hit in their comical musical act. Madam Laille Bennett, of California, is still holding her own singing act, and wife and wife are very clever workers, as they keep the audience spellbound from the time they appear on the stage until they leave. I must say we can't overdo it, but Ms. Riley, soprano; Chas. Aldridge, tenor; Wm. Foster, baritone, and M. Parker, bass, and also our clever conversationalist and interlocutor, Mr. Thos. Davis, soprano; Ms. Filsa, fills a number of places on the stage. His work is very creditable. The funniest part of the show is the last act, closing with "The King from Fiji Island," and C.

By Sylvester Russell TOM McCAIN OPENS POMPEI BUF FET AND CAFE. Handsomest Interior on the South Side —Welcomes ALL CHICAGO, Ill., June 5 (Special)—Mr. Thomas McCain, known as one of the most progressive business men in Chicago, has taken charge of the Pompel cafe at 20-22 East Thirty-first street, and there is a thriving business with handsomest cafe on the South Side. In point of beauty, decorations, courtesy and class of goods sold, it outclasses any enterprise of its kind in the Northwest, controlled by colored men in the McCain club, which had a reputation far and wide as a "thing of beauty" and in it was installed some of the handsomest and most valuable paintings that ever adorned a kitchen. The Pompel has steel ceiling, brightly and brilliantly decorated, the floor is inlaid marble from the door to the kitchen, both in the buffet and cafe. There are two musical instruments in the place valued for their safety, one of the best entertainers in the city. To satisfy the appetite, Mr. McCain has secured two of the best chefs in the city to prepare the menu. A bill of fare is prepared each day and night; lunches are prepared on the same day, lunches are lite and obliging waiters. At the bar is the well-known Mort Shoercraft, one of the cleverest mixologists in Chicago. In the buffet a man is stationed all day to serve roast beef and hot lunches. The Mort Shoercraft states that delegates coming to the national Republican convention and visitors to the city of Chicago, will be given a most cordial welcome. He wishes the support of the city's residents and the tees them a royal time whenever they enter the doors of the now famous Pompel, 20-22 East Third-first street, Chicago, Ill. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. In the June number of the Green Book magazine, Rennold Wolf devotes twelve richly illustrated pages to Mr. Bert Williams, who, Mr. Rennold is the author of "The Greatest Comedian on the American Stage. A real life story of Bert Williams, a Negro, who has the distinction of being the most modest accepter of the American stage. The Grease Paint magazine appears another article on Mr. Williams, beginning like this: "Bert Williams—An Appreciation, Man of Sorrows—Master of joys, host of the greatest acknowledgement by David Belasco, that he is ready for him." Mr. Williams must surely be a happy man. He has overcome through merit and ability, that greatest obstacle a colored man's ability has been good to the Negro. In every art, science and profession. He has made it possible for one Negro to scale the heights and bask in the golden em There are those who would attribute Mr. Williams's success to luck. Luck is a synonym for work, the ability to see and grasp one's opportunity. Mr. Williams's road to success was not strewn all the way with roses. He has suffered many failures, known the bitter hours of discouragement. He has been up against the wall that seemed unsurmountable, but there was that in the man that made him superior to these handicaps. He made stepping stones of failures, disappointments and obstacles and mounted on them to the highest rounds of success. In achieving success, just how much Mr. Williams owes to the sterling ability, the tenacity of purpose and brilliant diplomacy, or of his late partner, Mr. George Walker, Mr. Williams alone can answer. This mention of Mr. Walker is not meant to lessen the glory of Mr. Williams's achievement. Long may he live, and may be never find the way down from the glorious life of his length he has attained, is the wish of his ardent admirer, yours truly. Mr. Williams has not only benefited himself, but the entire colored theatrical profession. He has made the way possible for others. Not only this, but he is a motivation to assist his brethren in the profession. There seems to be one despicable trait among we Negroes. Success achieved by one of us, instead of arousing our admiration, generally leads us to support him or relying on support to fortune one, so that it would be impossible for some of our narrow-minded race-presiduced white brethren to pull that one down, we immediately take up our responsibility to make the anvil chorus from the combined opera companies, sound like the tinkling of fairy bells in comparison. Perhaps as much, or even more "professional, jealousy" exists among white performers, to make the anvil chorus from the combined opera companies, sound like the tinkling of fairy bells in comparison. It must be "All for one and one for all" with us if we ever hope to be of any importance in the theatrical profession. At present we are supplied for the role of the all-female white man's table. We are a charity consideration to them. We must digest this unwelcome truth. They can do without us but we can't do without them. We must be aware that the Negro in America could not find many staunch and true white friends, and thank God there never will be a time that the riddle will not be ready to help the Negro in his up-hip fight. But our deceit and ingratitude towards me another makes it almost impossible for these friends to assist us. I have heard many criticisms of Mr. Williams, the most frequently heard generally filled with this import. "He thinks himself to good to associate with Negroes: he thinks he's white." Absurd, there will always be enough dwarfed white men in America to make a colored man remember he is a Negro. Knocking Mr. Williams is a furtile waste of energy. Just so long as Mr. Williams is a box-office asset, he will be as impregnable to baskets as they discover the vulnerable spot in his During the course of his article, Mr. Wolf found time to say, "To be blunt, no olioqualol, Bert Williams shows not the slightest interest in the thesesal ailments, the inflame heat. This is especially remarkable, inasmuch as the majority of his race will assume an air of arrogance at the mere addition of dark ink or a yellow necklec to their ralment. We will not be the actor to be a human being. The temptation to affect the strut of the peacock is strong." When we read this reflection upon race we reduce a feeling of musea, but a statement possesses too much truth to be ignored. If we will be truthful with ourselves, and analyze the situation thoroughly, we must admit that we are responsible for the existence of the peacock. There exists too much ignorance, selfishness, conceit and envy among us. There is not enough loyalty. Not until we grow broad enough to be being to sacrifice some of the ambitions of the interests of all, will we be an important factor in the show business. THESPIANISM IN LOUISVILLE, KC. (By Jas. H. Price.) Walnut Street Park Theater. Things are rapidly rounding into shape for the opening of the Walnut-street Theater, which is seeded to be the one theatrical event of the season in our city, and the space erecting the stage after which the gigantic tent will be erected, the seats placed in position, the electrical appliances installed, and everything will be in place for the performance, which will be used for Monday, June 10. Manager Joseph Clark, Jr., promises a stellar bill, with the Whitman Sisters and Picks, Aardvark as masseurs and seedlings, and karaoke are a minimum; with Witches and Walkers and have really "got em", Billy Nichols, monologue and mimic, and Muriel Ring-berger, surprise, surprise, and later interment to the peerless Caiti Walker, complete a bill that should please the most skeptical. Judging from the opening bill, Manager Clark interfolds to the best of his ability the guarantees the best order at all times, pictures shall be as good as the best and better than the rest, so being assured of the success, we only ask, the kindness of the Almighty us for our evening, and until that time we shall anxiously await developments. The Ruby Theater The management of the Ruby Theater offers a bill this week that is not up to the standard of the shows that are generally offered by this popular playhouse. The theater should rightfully enjoy headline honors. This young lady, who is always very neat and tasteful, opens with "Georgie Grind." She is very clean with her work and her R. Long, billed as artistically done. Leon R. Long, presents as a next setup and manipulates his illusions quite smoothly, but young gent should benefit himself greatly and his audience impressively if he would have time to present an important time and dive into the apparent importance of the simple usages of the English language. Withal, he apparently enjoys his efforts more than his audiences. Gardner and Graham close the show. "Stingly" and "Brightly" are the eccentric song an adance by Gardner the one bright spot in the act. Harry William Martin, Cornetist and Composer Harry W. Martin, cornetist and composer, who has been at the Ohio Theater for some time, is still on deck. Mr. Martin has arranged satisfactorily for some of the best acts that have played the theater, including the patrons of the Trio, Green Trio, Thornton Trio, Burton and Bumbray, and numerous others. Mr Martin is an artist with his instrument, and as such has made himself exceedingly popular as the patrons of the house. He has also given numbers that have gained quite a reputation and is now busy with "The Ready Rag," a companion to "The Pekin Rag," and one which is guaranteed a winner. He has also been able to hear from all performers along this line who contemplate visiting the city. THE LOUISVILLE CUBS On last Sunday at Springbank Park, the Cubs won the game 8-1. Indians by the one-sided score of 8-1 Burdette in the box for the Cubs allowed 10 runs. The Cubs won the game 8-1. team-mates was a fielder, Rik Spohn.

Charges Admission Fee—Champ Beat at His Own Game—Goes to Santa Fe to Meet Solons—Theodore Cabel Winning Honors at Harvard as Best All-Around Athlete. By Billy Lewis. Jack Johnson, champion; positively in the limelight right along here. Illustrated papers are showing his various training stunts, playing him the first time that he is in a logistic article that is a fact of the means to have a little music in his camp has been spoken of, and the possible good of it. It is now understood that he will do a bit of warbling. Just how he will do it, in physical terms is not known, unless it is not back to the thing of mind over matter; that is, a cheerful frame of mind dominating the physical self. Jack is seen in various attitudes. In the morning he is in the place of so much as he is less and arms like a swimmer, but some capers, and then he is ready for breakfast. He does the hurdle stunt, jumping over bars of more and less elevation. If he has any stiffener, job now's the same upcase test. Bat-the ball calls for considerable muscle play as well as for fine judgment in these days of variety of ball tossers. Tennis is another of his stunts; this is rather a more�cally-amassed one. It is rather a lot of the amounts it has a part today in the individual's physical economy. He seems heavy for such light work. But he knows what he is doing. He plays tennis every day. He is a very good time to do with this kind of way of real toil. Jack goes to it nevertheless, and because he knows he has very much at stake, hence cannot take any chance of being in the world. He has a very few his automobile nearly so much we do not for the uglier phases of his work. The automobile. Ah! that's the time. No bluecoats or divers other minions of the law on those unfrequent—he bursts through. Mr. Johnning as According to report, the champion has grown a little speculative. Built himself a large aluminum staircase, sheared capes. He will tie them beforeriere indences that have paid a small sum at the door. It is said that he is doing a rushing business. It is given out at Las Vegas that the first day's sale of seats for the fight amounted to $25,000. This is an excellent indication of what the sales may total up until the Fourth of July, the unexpected amount, showed considerable surprise. He thinks he would have fared better if he had went into the fight on a percentage array cheap when he guaranteed him $31,000. He thinks he was beat at his own game. But it is hardly that way unless the sales run upwards of $150,000. He thinks he was worse or foolish. It strikes me that Jack was extremely wise, no matter what the receipts are. Thirty-one thousand dollars are a fabulous amount to pick up in a few weeks. Wise people dependents can be cared for on it same as long as they live. Jack went to Santa Fe the other day to appear before the solons in session in that city. The legislature had just defeated an anti-digital bill, and Jack just took himself over there to grasp their hands, and to have them grasp his $11,000 hands. Don't just just what the champion did otherwise. Don't know that he made a difference, but at Harvard he looked him over, and his ebony highness was only too glad to answer the summons of that most august body, the legislature of New Mexico. The fight for New Mexico will be the richer for it. Brutality, of course, will be still urged, but this, anyhow, the individuals are willing combatants and their brushes will be their own bruises. We are our things. In others, we prefer to know nothing about our brothers. It is not reasonable to think that either man is going to stand up until he is killed. If he does, he "sho" is game. Theodore Cabel, an Indianapolis colored boy, is going big as an athletic at Harvard University. He is attracting general attention throughout the country. Current comment is as follows: Will Harvard elect a Negro the next Theodore Cabel, the university's foremost hammer thrower and all-around athlete, is the logical selection for 1913. He is an Indianapolis boy and graduated from the best athlete on the team, and his grand work all the present season would certainly have earned for him the position hands down had he been white. As Harvard has a Japanese baseball team, not too seem too far-fetched as one would imagine. If Cabel fails to land the position, it will probably fall to J. B. Cummings, a hardler who has been out of condition all season. Cabel attended Shortridge High School and graduated in 1910. He sprang to $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brittle eyes, itching of the drains, or the follies of youth, that has sured so many worm and nervous men their own homes without an additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his fully power and virility, quickly and quietly should have a copy. So have determined he a copy. Of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wishes for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest 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 here who is weak and discouraged with him may drugging himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the writing, restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCH-IN remedy ever devised, and so cure himself in a quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Robinson, 3831 Luck Building, Detroit Mn., and I will send you a copy of this book to change in a plain ordinary envelope free charge to many doctors would charge $3.00 to $4.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. the front in athletics when he first attended Harvard, and it was not long until he was recognized as one of the best athletics teams in the country. The team was selected to compete against Oxford and Cambridge teams at Oxford, England, more than a year ago, Cabel was one of the members selected. As a student at Oxford, his aptitude was not greatly interested in athletics. Suppose young Cabel would turn his attention to college and am satisfied that his goodly parents would throw up their hands in holy horror at the bar suggestion. And yet he was not satisfied with the cules. He seems to be smashing records of various kinds, and now seems to await some new field for triumph. If the young man should turn to the ring, it would be a very all time some vexed physical questions. There are those who maintain that downright brute strength, and of course with some show of training and directive, they can be a man of strength. When Corbett triumphed, it was held a victory of brain over the mere brute in man. When Corbett was whipped, it was said that the ring was no place for a gentleman. Young Cabel is bright and handsome, but he is actually over another man of equal weight and equal training? Does his personality enter into it, giving insight to advantages that the "obtuse" man could have? He also has the shoulders and necks pile-duding the pearling specimen of humanity. With his superior knowledge and reasonable training, can he overtop Jack Johnson? Is it not reasonable to think that, since he is a man of strength, business, that he could also master pugilism. I do not know young Cabel's weight, but think he is between 180 and 150 pounds, judging by his size when he was a child. He was fitted at that time about 165 or 170 pounds. It is not thought that Cabel thinks of these things as a good one, and in the meanwhile demonstrate what advantage muscle plus muscle has over muscle and the average brain. MORGAN AND EVANSVILLE, IND, MAROONS DISAGREE. A publication of Evansville, Ind., had recently as follows: "Mr. J. C. Morgan, manager of the Cleveland Syndicate Baseball Team, who played at the League Park Sunday, Mon., November 27 last, against the Evansville Maroons, who played at Dr. Jerniah Jackson, and managed by James A. Newlon, has registered a complaint against his treatment here by the head officials, who have accused him of being with severe citizenship and repudiation of the Evansville Maroons. Already some of the colored fans, who believe I na square the team, have begun to circulate a monster petition, in which a boycott of the games to be played by the Maroons is asked, f the business dealings of the team are to be followed the precedent established with Mr. Morgan. In a conversation with a representative of the Negro press, Mr. Morgan said; "I have been the manager and uncalled for advantage he sought to take of me. I had a contract with Mr. Newton and when he affixed his name to the team, I meant to be a man of his word. However, future developments showed me that I reasoned wrong." Just at this juncture he displayed the contract, which read follows: CONTRACT. Evansville, Ind., April 17, 1912. Whereas, the undersigned, representing the Evansville Maroon B.C. of Club of Braville, Ind., individually agree to pay to the manager of Cleveland B.B.C., should its team, the Syndicate, come to Evansville willing and ready to pay the Evansville Maroon B.C. of Club of Braville, Monday and Tuesday, April 28, 29 and 30, three days, 1912, at 3:30 p.m., the sum of $75 as a guarantee and the further sum of 60 and 40 per cent. of the gross gate receipts and for enfeasishments provided said. $60 and 40 per cent. equals or exceeds the guarantee herein. J. C. Morgan. The above terms and conditions are hereby accepted. By C. C. Towns. E. E. Shaw, Notary Public. Going on further, Mr. Morgan said: “I came all the way from Cleveland, Ohio, here is to full my engagement with the Maroons, paying $100.10 for railroad tickets alone. THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE. Until Tuesday, cordially, but when I told my team would play the Hellman Stars Saturday and Sunday, May 4 and 5, he became very angry, spoke to me very ungentlemany and offered me $15 for my final share for the team playing the Maroons. The League Park. I absolutely refused to take it, and unless the matter is amicably adjusted, I will be compelled to seek justice in the courts. The Press is indeed some truth. I see the doctor and the manager of the Maroons get together and use some common sense. There has already a howl gone up from the neighbors in the immediate neighborhood of the Maroons' parquet. Again, I am not a victim of the stock holders, who are big Ikes in the Y. M. C. A., have been roundly rebuked for their duplicity and hypocrisy of trying to carry God one hand and the devil in mind. There is no reason to be indicted at press conferences that Chief of Police Covey will refuse to allow Sunday baseball at Maroon Park if the boys start to squabbling in the very beginning, and this, coupled with a protest from the community, quiet settlement. I am not a common sense arrogue cool-headedness." BIG FIRST DAY SALE FOR JOHN- SON-FLYNN.BOUT. LAS VEGAS, N. M.—Treasurer Lewis of the Flyn-Johnson flight, announced the other day that the seat sale, the first day the box office was open, approximated 100,000 with Jack Curley at fight headquarters, told promoters that if he wished he could tear up the articles of agreement guaranteeing Johnson $31,100, and that Jack would take a chance with Curley on a percentage of back "I would like nothing better than to be gambling on this match myself," said Jack. "You get me cheap, or that guarantee, and I am willing to give you back your coin and take a chance with you." TROUBLE IN BASEBALL CIRCLES.

M.—Jim Flynn is busy with the boxing gloves, and he will have a session with the astute Tommy Ryan each day until he lets up a morning bell rings on the afternoon of July 4. Ryan is a mean fellow to work for, but he can teach the veriest tyro a lot and take a liking daily in order to become adept. Folks who were there will never forget the way Ryan used to whale the daylights out of Jeffries afternoon for championship fight with Bob Fitzsimons. Jeff did not relish the gruelling, but he beat Fitz and won the championship as a result. He wlip Flynn now in a real fight, but he will do sufficient boxing armor to prevent an injury to himself and then will be able to knock holes on the fireman at his door. Ryan knows the Johnson right upper arm as Johnson does and more about a lot of other punches. Holl teach the fireman to knock every body over age three and Tommy will be trying to block all the time, for Ryan can sill hit. The Flynn mornings are devoted to road work and the afternoons given There is no denying that Ryan thinks Flynn has one big, grand chance to whale the Negro and get rich as the man who redeemed the white race. For that reason Tommy is working as a salesman. He does not propose to take much weight off Jim, and hopes to send him the black fellow weighing around 200 pounds. MARK LEVY MAY REFEREE BIG SMOKE-FLYNN BOUT. Jack Curley Thinks Las Vegas Mar Would Increase Receipts of Johnson-Flynn Fight on July 4. While Jack Johnson and Jim Flynn are getting ready to do battle on the Fourth at Las Vegas, N. M., the natives are becoming the referees of the tivy resident of that town in man that is being stronely shoved to the counting, if such should be necessary, is Mark Levy, the leading sporting authority in New York. The demand is so strong for Levy that Jack Curley, the promoter of the fight, is going to suggest his name to Johnson and Flynn. Curley tends to do some urging to the players, and a local man n the ring would be a big attraction and add a few kopeks to the gate receipts. "For suppose the face of the world champion is in the balance, the box office will play a very prominent part. As Levy's reputation in the southwest is of the highest there is a big probability that he may be chosen. AMERICAN GIANTS AT WEST BADEN. Rube Foster's Chicago Team Takes Three From Spruedls.
