A member of the convention were sent to hotels downtown and there remained until the call of the conven- Banks Return Money. Charles Banks of Mound Bayon, matters quite a stir in the Taft district, returns to Taft, where he matters to the Taft people which clearly go to Roosevelt. Charges and both sides, Senator Dixon claims that the senator will be the nominee, while the Kinley claims Taft, will be the nominee, so that it will not be known until of the people it is cast. From the sentiment if he is not nominated, looks like Teddy, and will not be nominated, it looks now as though the readers independent. By the time the Freeman will receive the paper, it will Ropsevelt Speaks Col Roosevelt is here and delivered a night. His sermon was "Thou Shall Stuart. His sermon was spoken to 5,000 people. He denounced the action of the national committee, and said that the people now wished him and that he was in the war. After speaking at the Auditorium, he was driven to Bethel A. M.

He was introduced by Adelbert Roberts, whose speech included with as much enthusiasm as that of the former told of Mr. Roosevelt's stand taken toward the race and how he had at all times stood for "fair play" toward all men. The address of Mr. Roosevelt did not deal in politics. It was a sermon, an admonition, and it continued himself to higher and higher, his manner of speaking. He said that the colored man must follow the straighter and narrower path than the white man, for the reason that he was not a man of color and individual. This, he said, should not be. He told of his dedication of a book to soldiers of the Spanish-American War, to his brother and to Tenth cavalry and the Twenty-fourth infantry. He also paid a tribute to Col. John R. Marshall and the Eighth regiment, stating that "our" regiment was right when San Juan Hill was taken. Rev. Ransom delivered an eloquent and his perseverance as a master-piece. Visitors Banquet. Hon.

Mead, of Vermont, candidate for Vice President, delivered an address. He said "Do not split your forces, but stand together. I don't say that the president has made a man, and I say that he has done the best he could, and such a man is a pretty safe man to shoulder the responsibilities of this government." Senator Bradley, of Kentucky, was I was not president. John J. N. Wright of the United States Treasury, declared that Mr. Taft deserved the vote of the colored people.

SHEPARD'S MINISTERIAL CONFERENCE AND SUMMER SCHOOL HOUSTON'S APPOINTMENT SATISEFACTORY Dr. Jackson Accepts Verdict of Zion General Conference—Dr. Shepard not a Candidate for Howard Presidency—Negro Independento to Meet. Thompson's National News Bureau. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 19—Dr. James E. Shepard, president of the National Religious Training School, Durham, N.C., spent the week-end in this city, en route to the national convention. Dr. Shepard had nothing to say here about politics, although he may have plenty to say about the subject. He reached the seething scars of action in the Windy City. He had much to say, nevertheless, about the subject nearest to his heart—the National Religious Training School and its numerous forward movements. First or all, Dr. Shepard said: I wish you would contradict the report might be a candidate for the presidency of Hon. J. Howard in a great institution, and to be its official head is an honor of which any educator might be proud; but I feel called to a distinct Southland, and I would not leave it under any circumstances. I would rather be president of the National Religious Training School than anything else on the ground. Ministerial Conference and Summer School Dr. Shepard spoke enthusiastically of the outlook for the approaching Ministerial Conference and Summer School at the National Religious School. The program outlined for the season covers the period between July 3 to August 11, and the attractions offered will be of the same nature as those in which for many months the deepest interest has been manifested by the clergy throughout the land, will open July 6 and August 11, and the every faith and denomination will be present and take part in the discussion of the race's most vital problems. Dr. Jesse L. Hurlbut and Dr. W. Y. Chapman will be special lecturers during confer- The topics to be discussed include the moral and religious condition of our people in the several communities; sanitation, hygiene, and correlations, mortality, temperance, Y. M. C. and Social Settlement work and their effect, educational methods and fitness of the students, and these discussions by leading thinkers will be illuminating and profitable goes without saying. Among the lecturers and instructors who will take part in the conference are: Bishop G. W. Clinton, Prof. Kelly Miller, Dr. W. C. Duncan, Prof. W. Hannum, D. D. Webster Davis, Prof. W. H. Boyer, Prof. T. A. Long, Miss Hallie Quinn Brown, Prof. P. W. Dawkins, Hon. John C. Dancy, Prof. W. H. Hannum, Dr. S. W. M. Alma Abbas, Prof. Ford and many others, Prof. F. A. Clark, of Philadelphia, will be director of music; Prof. T. Parker Smith will have charge of the commercial course; Mrs. W. Smith will serve the teachers' course, and Miss Josephine Pinyon will be director of the Pastime Club, and Miss M. Alma Abbas will instruction for missionaries, Y. M. C. workers, evangelists, pasts, etc., and a number of Chautaqua features will be introduced those planning to attend should notify Dr. Shepard at once, as the arrangements are being rapidly completed. W. L. Houston on Board of Education. The appointment of Attorney W. L. Houston as a member of the Board of Education comes as a delightful surprise to the people of the District of Columbia, to the people of the State of Virginia, to the Justices of the Supreme Court of the District to succeed Dr. W. V. Tunneln, professor of history in Howard University. The term is three years. The board is made up of nine members, three of whom are appointed by the board of associated associates are Lawyer R. R. Hornen and Mrs. Carrie Wilder Harris. Of the new members, Miss Mable T. Boardman, president of the National Red Cross Society, is a notable figure. Mr. Houston has access to the assignment and pledges to give his support system the benefit of his best services. No appointment within memory has been received with such spontaneous popular approval as that of Mr. Houston. A search among all classes as soon as the news became current. For hours Mr. Houston's telephone was besieged with messages of congratulation and his mail has been received. He is a graduate of Mr. Houston is a graduate of the law department of Howard University, and is enjoying a lucrative practice, developed in the early years of his native of Kentucky, and in early manhood taught school at Evansville, Ind. He came to Washington to take a clerkship in the War Department, and he filled the position with experience to enter into a partnership with E. H. Morrils for the practice of his profession in Chicago. After gaining an advantageous experience before the courts of New York, he entered into aington and opened an office. He is now ranked with the ablest members of the bar of the District of Columbia. Mr. Houston has served two terms as president of the World. His administration is recognized as the most prosperous the order has ever known, and during his four years the membership was brought past the half-million mark. At the fifteenth year he was elected as an associate justice of the Court of the order, being gven the long term of eight years. His friends are now pressing him to become a candidate for secretary of the sixteenth in September. Beside him, fellow, Mr. Houston is a Mason and a member of numerous other fraternal and civic organizations. He is a young man of fine character, attentive to the very grazing of character, and is a brilliant and effective platform speaker. Mr. Houston is in hearty accord with the existing administration of the Washington schools, and is very grazing to those who have had at heart the highest welfare of the 15,000 colored children enrolled in our schools. Dr. Jackson Cheerfully Accepts Action of Zion Conference. Dr. J. S. Jackson came within a few votes of having enough to elect him to the bench of bishops at the recent General Conference, and I would have been able to have secured the remaining ballots necessary to give him the required two-thirds, had one or more of the "complimentary" candidates him himself in his favor. However, Dr. Jackson is not cuz by the unexpected result, and having been re-elected to his old place as financial secretary, is now directing his energies toward perfecting the best financial plan the conference had in operation. In a letter to his Zion friends Dr. Jackson says, in part: "Since the adjournment of the General Conference I have received scores of letters from the conference in relation to the agenda of the conference in relation to more bishops, and asking me how I felt about the matter, having received on several ballots a majority of the votes to ask, wish to say to all inquirers and to the deaf, that I am in race, feeling that God was pleased with my action, as this was the only course that would permit vital and necessary business to come before the body. The failure to transact this business would have been able to the church during the ensuing quadrennium. Presidency of Howard University Bishop Thirkield in Great Demand Bishop W. P. Hines held in Great Demand. Bishop W. P. Hines demanded these days. A few days ago, he attended a meeting of the Freedmen's Aid society in Cincinnati.

Denver, Colorado Springs, Kansas City and WHITE Chicago, Illinois TO THE THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER SHORT FLIGHTS. BY R. W. THOMPSON. Our Common Ambition. I do not ask for office and I do not ask for pay But I somehow share the general desire. To recall a situation where I'm out upon display Forst rangers on the sidewalk to admire. I do not claim to understand the country voting game. In a way that might extend substantial aid, But I'll stand around and cheer the men who talk about the same. If they only let me march in the parade. Let the others do the thinking. Let the others do the work. Eace "man has limitations," as we know. When the magisterial assemblies, I will not be found a shirk. Though humble be my portion of the show, I hope some day to be the big drum major of a band. And lead the pomp so joyously arrayed. To celebrate a lot of things I do not understand. So, Mister, let me march in the parade. —Washington Star. Tuskegee Institute's commencement was the "best ever." Now for the "big show" in the main tent at Chicago! The "hobble-skirt" is passing unwept, unhonored and unsung. Keep your best eyes on Colonel William Jennings Bryan at Baltimore. Crumb if comfort to Zion candidates: "Won't take long for four years to roll around." The wisdom of the selections made at Charlotte and Kansas City depend largely upon the point of view. Stick to the constitution. Our liberties depend upon our refusal to take liberties with this sacred document. Some very "pow'ful" gentlemen of our acquaintance are hustling real hard to make connection with the national band wagon. Judge M. W. Gibbs, at 90, is one of those noble men who have passed from "Shadow" to "Light." May his days be long in the land! These are the days when political comrades of year are parting company. "Every man to his own notion" is the watchword of the hour. Poise is a sign of intellectual power. The level-headed man never exults unduly over successes, and is not vitally depressed by disappointments. Anna Held, more frank than many of her sex, admits that she is looking for a husband. Just "waiting for the right man to ask her," that's all. The Rev. Dr. W. W. Beckett's faith in humanity, if not his Christianity, was solely tried as the ballots for bishop were being told off at Kansas City. "Brains will tell," regardless of color. P. J. Randall, a cotored lawyer, wrote the inscription that is to be placed on the new city hall in Oakland, Cal. Safety and sanity in politics, religion and society are the sheet-anchor of our American republic. It doesn't pay to get into frenzies about anything or anybody. The worst enemy you can have will run out of ammunition after a while. If you are the "real thing" your castle will stand the impact without serious consequences, and you will emerge from the ordeal stronger than ever. Viewing his superb work at Chicago for the Taft delegations from Georgia and Florida, there seems to be the making of an attorney-general of the United States in Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson. The "press agent" has come to stay. EAST ST. LOUIS, ILL. SANFORD, FLA. (By Clarence Steward.) Special to THE FREEMAN Be it a canvas for the presidency, bishopric, senatorship, grand master, alderman, commissioner or precinct committee necessary. He rides on the front seat of the band wagon. Dr. Booker T. Washington's speeches at the two general conferences were not less pregnant with profitable suggestions than the episcopal addresses that were intended to strike the keynote of the deliberations 1900 and 1901 with militant Methodists who listened to them. Former Grand Master W. L. Houston, of the G. U. O. of O. F., says a man who has once lived in Washington always wants to "come back." He sees in the United States the United States to return to Washington a notable vindication of his declaration. Notwithstanding their pious plausa for relief, Missionary Bishops W. H. Heard and J. Albert Johnson, in keeping with the requirements of the compact entered into at Norfolk conference in 1908. The embalm of the twelve-years term of servitude in the Dark Continent. Since that astute statesman, W. Murray Crane, insists upon retiring from the nation's upper chamber, what is the matter Hon. Hen. Lewis, the Lewis United States senator from the commonwealth of Massachusetts? It is whispered that the senatorial bee has been buzzing softly in Mr. Lewis bonnet for some time. Hence, his hat may be conceived as the ring. Mr. Lewis would fill Senator Crane's seat with becoming grace and dignity. When Prof. John F. Hawkins captured the church at Kansas City, and the T. Bryant walked off with the A. M. E. Sunday School Union job, that settled the claims of the laity for official recognition, for the ministerial fraternity just had to have Roman was sacrificed in the crash that followed. No layman, however talented, could have withstood the "flying wedge" that the brethren of the cloth immediately for the final rush at the "ple-counter." The energetic financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion church, Dr. J. S. Jackson, has figured out a plan whereby he can raise not less than $150,000 per annum for the "connectional claims," and place the funds in a secure, secure quadrennium. This will guarantee a prompt meeting of all of the expenses of the schools and benevolences under Zion, make possible the election of four bishops and the establishment of a thoroughly national scale, and lead to a provision for the reorganization of the episcopal districts on the contiguous system. The general conference of 1916 will be as much a "positive" do-something conference, as the Charlottie meeting was "negative do-nothing" characteristics. Congratulations are in order for Mr. George W. Harris, the energetic editor of the Amsterdam News, f New York City, M. Agnes L. Kemp, one of Brooklyn's most gracious and accomplished society factors.

For many years I was convinced that no person lived who was more unfortunate than myself. Loss in business; death of loved ones and other troubles too numerous to mention, were driving me to a state of frenzy. A friend told me to write you for information regarding the system of two Loadstones and their power. As a last resort I did so, and later purchased two of them. Since then the great change in my career has been so remarkable as to be almost beyond belief. My business increased rapidly, and not a thing has occurred to mar my state of happiness. You are at liberty to use this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about this letter as reference, for I believe it is my duty to let the world know of the wonderful change in my life, that I believe was brought about through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

I was all out of sorts myself and wondered what had happened to cause so much discord all at once. Finally I remembered the Loadstones and began to search for them. A few days later I found them tucked away in my machine drawer where one of the children had put them. Now everything, as far as I am concerned, is moving along nicely, but my husband, who laughed when the Loadstones first arrived, has changed his tune, and has sent you an order for a pair for himself.

Kink-no-more will straighten the weakest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is apply it on the hair, and, with a little combing, the hair becomes straight, not to stay on 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 wonder worker. So marvelous does it do its work that one on hardly believes 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 that Kink-no-more will not straighten. Kink-no-more is a vegetable compound; it is perfectly harmless and will not injure the scalp nor hair, but will stop the bleeding of hair, move dandruff, promotes a luxuriant growth of healthy hair and keeps it soft and glossy. Remember that Kink-no-more does not order a guarantee to do all that is claimed for her. 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.

Aren’t these days bracing? The elimination of Col. Roosevelt is a half victory. ‘The colored troops stood by their guns; it was the time. $1.00 a year, The Freeman during July. Subscribe or renew your sub- scription now. When history writes its true verdict of Theodore Roosevelt it will say, brilliant but erratic. The court house yard is no place for race discrimination, and most especially not if it is to be practiced ‘on poor little colored children. “What's so rare as a day in June.” We move to amend by striking out “June” and substituting “July.” We think the uneven temper of the time— we mean the weather—warrants the change. It is said that an individual's heart is reached through his stomach. The New Yorkers who live in hotels should feel grateful for the Negro waiters who saw to it that they were fed during the recent waiters’ strike. Napoleon got in from Elba. The glory of his coming was undoubted but transient. Roosevelt also got in from his Elba, where dignified retirement and quiet repose would have been the better things. No; the spirit of the Caesars welled up. He brooks no de- lay, but to the scene of the mad thousands, to twist their various de- sires and discordant cries to the one end—Theodore Roosevelt. He came, he saw, but verily. Why should he think to live above the law, written and understood? Mr. Roosevelt is demonstrating his capacity for mischief. And yet this is the individual that some would make the head of the country for the third time, breaking through ideals and tra- dition. At no time in his career has he given evidence of that even dis- position that should be the quality of men at the head of great affairs. Irascible, irritable and impatient, he has been acknowledging no law ex- cepting that of Theodore Roosevelt, and which if continued meant im perialism, the very opposite of our form of government. The court house yard would be a very poor place to show difference in Taces. At the same time we must not pretend to think that race discrimina- tion is unknown in this city. There is plenty of it, but of all places those for the general public should not be counted among those practicing it. The playground idea is a pretty one, and especially it is a blessing to chil- dren who live amid the city noises, in the districts of hard streets and bleak houses. But we can not think of men with such feeling of philan- thropy excluding little colored chil dren. Their little hard lives are de- serving of pity. To see their fate sometimes, and to know it in a way as we do, is to question the wisdom of their creations. If they could un. derstand—but they are young “seven times one.” The despair of children— defeat, chagrin pictured in their faces when their cause is just is something to see. We understand there will be no playground about the court house. Its owing to the misunderstanding. ‘The Cuban Negroes have shown that they have nerve. Whatever re- spect is duo owing to a stand for manhood will follow. There's no use in fighting forever—a lost cause—so far as immediate results ure ¢on- cerned. Our own South is an example of What gameness means. In time as much liberty will be conceded the Ne- gro Cubans as is consistent with the relation of the races. There will be no mistaking. The race movement is world wide in its sweep. The status of the Negroes in Cape Colony, Africa, is a fair index of what it is in New York, There may be more or less in- flection like the isothermal lines about the earth, from one cause or another, but in the main there is a parallelism that is unmistakable as fate. ‘This means that the Negroes will rise to- gether or sink together. It is up to them wherever they are to know the whole truth that the responsibility be fixed. A share of it is due the race; it cannot escape it. TALKING DISFRANCHISING. An influential member of the Demo- cratic party has suggested that the convention at Baltimore incorporate as a plank of the platform a proposi- tion, the sense of which is to be the disfranchising of Negro citizens. He would limit the suffrage to white men only. Of course, one blue bird does not make a summer, but a straw some- times tells the way the wind is blow- ing. It will be rather difficult for the Ne- goe voters to reconcile themselves to a party that everlastingly wears a chip on its shoulder. The hostile at- titude is deplored because it gives the Negro voters no alternative but to stand by the one party owing to the racial question regardless of the various others questions arising from time to time. This stubborn stand for one party is considered stupidity very often, when in fact the Negro voters are driven to shelter in the one party. It is not readily seen why a Demo- crat or a Republican find it necessary to make cheap remarks concerning the Negroes who are citizens by the Constitution, and by their worth ex- emplified by contribution to the wealth and general prosperity of the country, evidenced through their toil. When the Negroes as a whole are found unassimilable, cannot enter the ways of other citizens it is then time to declare them aliens to the common- wealth. It is up to the Negroes to see that no such day comes. BEING GOOD, ALSO OPTIMISTIC. If we persist in being peculiar, hav- ing distinct racial traits that are not worthy of Weing copied, we, in a measure, are drawing race lines our- selves. At the very least, we are helping to draw them. We are asking that we be consid- ered as Americans, as citizens, and yet we keep right on developing dis. tinetly race traits that do not tend to recommend us to what we wish. And, furthermore, we are decidedly uncon- cerned about it. If we flock the cor- jners, infest the streets and other jplaces, no one seems to care if we lonly do so. We are supposed to learn iby observation, by contact. And many do learn by observation and contact, |but far too many are not. disturbed ‘about such small things, never dream- fing that they are taken in account in the race problem. | ‘The race problem does not exist [solely because we are Negroes. Sure enough, that fact gives it a great send joft, but there has always been more or less race feeling in the world. Much of the opposition to our race is based on the fact that we refuse, |many of us, to pattern after the best jthat presents, going on the theory jthat it “'taint nobody's business but mine.” In the meanwhile the whole iFace is being charged up to the profit jand loss columns accordingly, as we act individually and whether we wish to have it done s0 or not. | Really, it is up to us to go the white people one better if we wish to make an impression for goodness and gentility. Nationality does handicap to some extent. It, however, does not Inced to be a perpetual bar. If it handicaps, there is a compensation. \We are thrown to the fore; readily We become noted—good or evil. We jean not hide, since the eyes of judg- iment, like the tentacles of an octopus, are everywhere. It is to our advant- |age if we will see it that way. If we must walk in the light, al- jways, eternally, we can turn this to our good account, becoming exem- plary and thus compelling respect. We can fairly overcome every racial (Objection, excepting our dark skins, the responsibility of which lies great: liy beyond us and which in reason is not chargeable to us as a racial defect. [MWe are optimistic as to our possibil ity. What we may do is another ques- tion. What we can do is it, If, when |the last Negro is as good as the best jwhite man, the race is not then en- |joying its’ utmost possible freedom and consideration, it is time to despair ‘and not until then. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL. Consolidated Baptist Convention at Georgetown—Jubilee Meeting at the Park—Pythian Juniors to Give Pic- nic—Business League Organized— Theatrical Jottings and Society. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People’s Phar- macy, Both Phones 666, Box 233.) FRANKFORT, Ky., (Special).—A large number of representative “Christian workers will assemble at Georgetown on June 19 to 21, for the consolidated Bap- fist convention, of which Miss Martha Williams is president. Miss Williams is at the head of the department of. kin- Gergerten work at the Clinton Street Iigh school and is an energetic worker in the chureh, lodges and clubs. “There is expected to be present one of the largest crowds that has ever been wit- nessed in that city, and large prepara- tons have been made to entertain them.

A welcome WII be extended to all of ‘their visitors A grand jubilee meeting has been called by Rey. J. Buford, of Louisville, and other able ministers of the state, to assemble at Glenwood park in this city on June 28. Plenty of chickens and re- freshments of all kinds will be served.

This meeting will be the center of attraction and many converts are expected. - The Pythian Juniors will give their first erand opening plenic at the beauti- ful Glenwood park’ on Monday ‘night, June #4." Prof. Redmon's Macca orches- tra will furnish, the melodious musie for the occasion. ‘These young cadets are very successful in everything that they take up along progressive lines. ‘The committee is composed of Capt.

HUGGINS AND BERRY A BIG HIT IN NEW YORK CITY to the Freeman. NEW YORK — Huggins and Berry, the team which is coming up so rapidly, is known to the public to be one of the best teams going, and have the music lovers of New York City their favorite band, and their singing. Manager of the Crescent Theater said they were the biggest drawing card ever played at his house, and the exception of the Griffin Sisters, and the exception of ever seeing the Crescent never there before. The house was packed every show, and not only be heard but words of praise for the Mr. Huggins is a good, high-class comedian, but seems to be more at home being straight. They have a peculiar opening their act, which causes much excitement and fun. Mr. Huggins stopped even before the end of the "Old Mill Stream." Too much cannot be said of his partner, Mrs. Huggins as she would follow him and do the same with "Silver Threads Among the Gold." They close their act with an Indian dance, which, with their make-up and stage settings, looks real. This is the We are in North Carolina doing good business. Miss Viola McCoy leaves them screaming, violating "You'll Never Know What a good Fellow I've Been" and Texas Pride. She sends regards to Seals and Fisher. William Bryant, our euphoniumist, sends regards to J. W. Wright, of the Dandy Dixie Minstrels, and also to Har- ley Robinson, of the Yankee Robinson Alpine Band. THE NEW CROWN GARDEN. Ada Banks a Big Hit—May and May a Screaming Success—Winn and Nugent and Leon Also Favorites Monday night the house of good shows, as the Crown Garden is called (having been given that name by Manager Tim Owlsley) is being given its name every respect. My doubt beats its time another year Indianapolis will be second to none as a show-going public. Little Tim Owlsley is a wizard in the tricks of the show game. He is proud Crown on a foundation that whoever may succeed him as manager will find everything in apple pie order. Tim is a business man. We should have more Ada Banks In a planologue was such a pleasing experience that the audience forced her to take a seat. After she had finished a number at the plano, the audience seemed to go wild. The audience was joined by Banks on a bill. It shows to us again that we have as many artists in the theatrical profession as any other race. The audience is so enthusiastic that she is a season's hit every season. May and May. String Beans, as they call him, the comedian of May and May, is just what the doctor orders for a man with a dull, unenthusiastic smile. When he says you'll never forget him, He and his little wife, Miss May, still send the audiences home laughing. May and May Winn and Nugent Some more dancers who dance. The female dancers are the gent, is a dancing wonder. She was forced to take several encores. This group took their share in entertaining the audience. "Leon." Come to us in a new act; not quite as strong as his old one, but just as pleasing. He made the audience like it from start to finish. Leon and his doll say THE BIRTH OF A MASTER some funny sayings. As a ventriloquist, Leon knows he is a No. 1 magician. Leon is liked by the Crown audiences, and is one of the many favorites who play the house. Brown and Brown. Members of the Crown tabloid stock offered a neat, clean, clever, classy singer, and a beautiful Brown is a first-class singer, and together with Mrs Brown, delivers the goods. Major Daniels. A hometown boy, late of the Georgia Minstrels, and a basso profundo of merit, sang two solos and was well received. Major Daniel's style of work is somewhat new in vaudeville. But, no one will be a hatter every place, as well as at home, which will land him in the O. K. class. The orchestra still hands out good music, where Fiddler and Shelton are going to play the Crown. That's it, let us have a big act every now and then, if the house is small. By K. C. E. Billy E. Jones the man who sings to beat the band, introduced "Moving Man," Don't Take Away My Baby Grand," and "I Wear the Baby to Sleep," and "O You Circus Day," and scored a big hit Sunday at Brooklyn.

A new team, Somers and Cole, will soon present their act at one of the vaudeville houses in New York. Mrs. Euretta Settle, formerly of Jeffrey and Settle, is still ill at her home in New York. We hope to see her well on the road to recovery soon. Billy E. Jones wishes to announce that all friends will find him at 44 Fleet street, Brooklyn, until July 17.

THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER MUSICAL AND DRAMATIC CHICAGO WEEKLY REVIEW By Sylvester Russell AIDA OVERTON WALKER AT THE MAJESTIC Mrs. Walker's company will leave for nework directly at the one of his offices. Mrs. Walker was second electric lighted headliner and one second electric lighted headliner, is gratification for her next season. Fiddler and Shelton at the New Grand Alexander's Rag-Time Band in a Good Act. As a competitive bill against the Majestic, where Alda Overton Walker shone, the Grace Investment Company up. The strongman I amable, Fiddler and Shelton, who were the hit of the program, gave a new act that created great surprise, as Harry Hynes was the first man after he had made a hit in his Chinese specialties. Ruby Shelton, if we are to speak of him as an artist, has been a degree of classical attunements, especially as a great pianist. Alexander's Raz-Time Band was much more modest, and their selections and by-play were all good from start to finish. The white acts were Earle and Curtis, assisted by little tenor singer. I have a selenid act, Earl Hynes, was delightfully good, and Frank Palmer was a merry cartoonist. The last half of the week presented "music," a miniature stage, which was good. Happy Harry Hynes was very entertaining on the finish. Rose Arthur Company in classic dances made good. He talked well, and Thelissen's dogs were quite a novelty. The electrical and scenic effects of the Fiddler and Shelton act were prepared by the musicians Galanes, and the wigs were by Hipner. Frank Kirk, Comic Musical Tramp, Scores Immensely at the Mongram. Nothing in the way of entertainment was so decidedly original or novel as the production at the Monogram last Monday evening. His self-made instruments, especially the calliope, made excellent music and the portrait, made a character comedy work was immense. Burton and Smith were an act which found favor. The comedian, who is quite good effect, will continue to keep free from smut, for these are the days of cleverness and ability. His song, "I'm B! Myself; Nobody but Me, Alone," made one or two instruments effectful. Their finishing dialogue was real funny, and their laughing song was good. Thornton and Long were two young performers whose work was passably good. Three Fines Play at the Phoenix. "The Reconstructed Rebel," "Old Love Lily," "The Beautiful photo play," He Meadows sang "Can't Expect Kisses" and "Fair Moon" with lovely illustrated views. A Special Photo Play at the Merit. There is always something doing at the end of a sentence, to the rule, when "The Land of Darkness" made its appearance. It is a story of a man who was in a strange situation, were sensational and pleasing. 6 Chicago Stage Notes Irvin C. Miller and George Harris write from Philadelphia. They are dollar nicely on the Southern coast of New Jersey. Rance Smith played the Apollo Theater last week. He is at the Bijou this week. --- The University Society gave its last literary program at Bethesda Baptist Church June 9, under the auspices of the Standard Literary Club. Lottie Grady has returned from her interior vaudeville tour, looking the picture of health. Her comedy version of "Circus Day" made a distinct hit. The "Les Cubanos," Fred Bonny, Pauline Freeman and Lizzie Hart, deny the Cubanos' role or any similarity in their sketch. The act they will do in Europe is new and original, with music composed by Will H. Dorsey, and lyrics by Mr. Bonny. Mrs. Matilda Green, mother of Clifford Green, the actor, died at her home in St. Joseph, Mo. June 7. Mr. Green left for home last week to attend the funeral. Prof. James T. Brynn, musical conductor for Aida Overton Walker's big musical, just just hated his compositions, "Love Makes the Worth While," "On the Road to the Land of Dreams," "She's Just the Kind of a Girl, Roll, Jordan, Roll," "Please Don't When I'm Eating" and "Oriental Dances." *** M. Nelson, of the team of Nelson and Watson, will be employed at Ottawa, Canada, to assist in amuse the patrons. He will utilize a quartet and cake walkers. Plantation melodies will also be a feature.

WHEN CROSSED IN LOVE When love first met its Waterloo, Because one mind had gone astray, Twas just a silly how-de-do. And hard to mend, the prophets say. When love is vexed by trials and fear, And you are lonesome and ashamed To face the one you love most dear. Your day of worry is proclaimed. When crossed in love -oh, woe the day! When you fail -all pride disagree. Some aching heart must hurt. Some soul has mounted on the sea. SLVESTER RUSSELL Marshall and Trubbler at the City Theater, Brockton, Mass. ROUTE PROF, P. G.

Y., that Sherman Coates, who had been seriously ill, died in that city in 2012. He was the former partner of the late James Grundy, of the team of Coates and Grundy, of the Watermelon Trust, a big act, which included their wives. He was only 80 years old. His first prominent work before the public was when he joined hands with Mr. Grundy during the second season of the Sheridan and Flynn Big Sensation. He was the first person to help McKay Grundy lost his health at Baltimore in February, one year ago. Of his ability, it can be said that Mr. Coates was, without a doubt, the finest man in the history of Watermelon as a straight man was unexcelled, for he was handsome, and his stature was erect. His wife, Susie Grundy, is with the Allen Parkson Watermelon Trust in the West. No person Watermelon has been given certain permission to his funeral. MRS. WARREN, OF CHICAGO, DINES THE CRITIC. So enthusiastic was Mrs. Nellie Warren, sister of Frank P. George, the society actor, when she was told by Mr. Russell at Chicago that she was music illicited in Chicago that her brother Frank P. George is reality a genuine actor, that she went straight to her luxurious home on Twenty-second street and telephoned the next day to her dinner. When Mr. George and Mr. Russell arrived at the house at 6 p. m., everything was ready. What pleased Mr. Russell was the butter and the cucits and good butter. Mr. George was especially delighted, knowing that one year ago Mr. Russell's remarks in the Chicago are not fit for an Eastern gentleman to eat." Three jars of roses perfumed the parcel, the butter and the cucits, and white rose on the coat of Sylvester Russell, which he wore to the Patti Brown cert. Then to have some fun, he set up a theater to see String Beans as a good-humored contrast to the legitimate. Mr. Russell is much obliged to Mrs. Warren for the good music he has set up, and other actors less capable of understanding than her brother.

Regards to all our friends. Many friends of the well-known southern comedian, Chink Floyd, will be surprised by the fact that he was standing on his porch and called to a lady passing and said "I'm going inside and cut my throat, won't you see what he said and passed on, but a minute later the poor Chink standing in the door, was standing from a terrible wound in his neck. He to the hospital, but it was too late. He died next day. He had been mentally depleted and was seriously of his condition. He leaves a widow. May he rest in eternal peace. WHERE THE CALCIUM SHINES. What Is Going On in Stagedom in Washington and the Nation. Negro Corporation to Buy the Howard. "The Howard theater, on which I hold a ten years' lease, will never pass again because I have clared Andrew J. Thomas, as he applied the blotter to his signature to that document some months ago. Last Sunday, he held the Howard theater a hearty aplause, Mr. Thomas reiterated this significant statement. Mr. Thomas that a corporation be formed, embark 8,000 THE FREEMAN, AN \LLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. THURTON JUDY LOMO SOUTTLE BRONDE S-S-S-H-H-H-H OH YOU CHICKEN RAG Hans Jaspers men and women who will agree to pay into a common fund $1 each week, until the purchase price is raised. The deal for the acquisition of the beautiful playhouse can be made upon the cash payment of $125,000, or the property valued at approximately $100,000. One thousand persons at $1 each will make a fund of $1,000 to start with. In one year of fifty-two weeks, the amount of the fund will be $125,000. The years the property will be entirely paid for. In this time there will be receipts flowing in from business, which will provide a surplus which will guarantee a sale of the property. The debt is withdrawn. With 1,000 men and women as stockholders, personally interested in the success of the venture, Mr. Thomas figures out that the theater is bound to pay. The property will be sold to a property of colored people is estimated to be a big factor in insuring patronage, appealing as it would to the natural race of the population, 100,000 grocers in the nation's capital. The road to take at an early date in the interest of the proposition, and he is confident that he will be able to secure the 1,000 pledges without serious difficulty. As a high class musical, dramatic and vaudeville house, and, with this new project under way, he is or the opinion that a newer and deeper interest will be felt in the production profession. Mr. Thomas is a shrewd business man, and there is a disposition to trust his judgment in matters of this kind. The moneyed men and women will be equally to support and secure title to the finest theater ever erected in this country for the enjoyment of the Negro people. Henrietta Vinton Davis in Vaudeville — Maybe Ethel Barrymore's proposed entrance into the vaudeville arena and the success that has attended Liflian Russell's admittance there is leading the friends Henrietta Rutherford to a major starring artist to try her fortunes in the tabloid drama. Experienced managers, knowing the risks that must be taken in culture, are able to cultured audiences that are more and more following the high-class vaudeville of the day will rally to well-conceived excerpts of the show, and the cultural dramas, interpreted by such capable readers as Miss Davis, R. Henri Strange and others. If Miss Davis and his range could be adapted to arrange selection from "Hamlet" to "Othello," "The Merchant of Venice," "The Lad yod Lyons," "Christophe," etc., carrying a support company, they would secure the best of his好评 salaries, and that they would give our vaudeville stage a dramatic aspect that would revoke the audience's desire to introduce the profession in the public mind. Surfaced with much musical comedy and more ragtime, it is felt that the masses and businessmen would welcome with open arms the artists who are to introduce the standard playlet, calling for the exhibition of the race's best talent in the production of the world's masterpieces. The open door to the sustained drama of the future on the Negro stage lies through the tabloid presentation of bright faces of the artists who have carried the great actors and actresses to fame and to fortune. Miss Davis is especially adapted to work of this kind, and all lovers of high-class stage performances are welcome to attend. It calls for a small financial outlay and promises large results to its promoters. What the Artists Are Doing The S. H. Dudley theater is drawing full houses nightly. The opening bill was made up of King Williams with his educated dogs; Hunter and Chappelle, novelty musical entertainers, introducing a wonderful play, particularly, and City and Allen, who put over a neat society sketch. This week the management is offering Johnnie Woods, ventriloquist; Grace Arnott, vocalist and dansuee; and the wrestler Braga, comedians direct from Proctor's theater, New York. Lew W. Henry is handling Mr. Dudley's local interests in capable fashion, and the charming Gentrupe Ryan is officiating the boutique house he repainted, redecorated and renovated throughout and is one of the prettiest theaters in the country. It seats about 250, and is on Washington's most popular colored boulevard, U street. Brown and Nevarro will spend the summer in Europe. The "Twelve Africanders" are at the Howard next week. S. Tutt Whitney's "Mayor of New York" is in Philadelphia. The veteran comedian, Sam Lucas, the "dean" of the profession, is to write his reminiscences. "Damon and Pythias" and "Camille" have been put on with marked approval in New York City. The Negro is moving steadily toward the New drama and is making a place for himself in the "legit." New York jokers are saying that when the great ground-breaking ceremonies of the Walker-Hogan-Cole theater were to begin, the meaning colored brother, to whom had hard work of actually shoving the spade into the ground, went ahead to the 138th street site—but dug up the ground on the other side. The damp is causing superstitious folks to fear a general public will have the same dif- culty in finding the theater when it is erected, as 138th street is far from the Harlem line of travel. Wise theatrical designers, like the playwrights, the logical location of a colored theater of pretentious type must be either on the corner of 7th avenue, or around the corner of 10th avenue, where else, they say, is pretty sure to result in a "frost." A new and more convenient one is also insisted upon by the Yorkers who keep in touch with the popular pulse. MARIE W. MCDONALD FISHER AND SIMMONS, Happy and Working.

"The Atlanta Normar and Industria institute wishes it known through the CHICAGO—Jack Perkins, one of Jack Johnson's sparing partners, who was in Chicago last week on a business trip for the champion, prepares to hit this season. He will be referred July 4. Perkins said that Johnson is a 5 to 3 favorite at Las Vegas. NEW ORLEANS—Dave Brown, a New York heavyweight, who came here from Georgia, was knocked out in the first round here by John Tholmer, a local Nedergrove, and was rushed to a hospital in a dying condition. He was wounded in a terrible swing and his head stripped the floor heavily. LES VEGAS, N. M—John O. Talbott, the owner, who is to serve as official betting commissioner of the Flyn-Johnson contest, arrived in the city. Talbott will report that he already is in receipt of commissions amounting to close on $50, @00. EAST LAS VEGAS, N. M—Chief Surgeon of the VEGAS, F. railroad system has made a complete physical examination of Jim Flynn, the Pueblo fireman, on July 4, will battle with Jack Johnson, for the heavyweight title. He made a strong impression, but withheld the result until he can do the same for Johnson. PITTSBURG—Mendez, Cuba's famous "Black Mathewson," pitched fine ball for the Cuban Stars in the Clay Giants, giving the local colored boys their worst defeat of the season. The final score was 13 to 2. The game was witnessed by a monster in vain to cheer the locals on to victory. Sellers Hall started to pitch for the locals, but was driven from the pitch by the Stars, who lished the ball. The feature of the game was the all-around playing of the Cubans and the batting of Figaro, who drove the ball twice over with the bases full. Mendez made good all the advance claims for him, elbowed the part of a hit that had and had the locals at his mercy throughout the game. BESSEMER BLOOMER GIRLS WIN.

The statement follows: $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 rigor, weak manhood, failing memory and lame back, frailty, or the follies of youth, that has so many warm and nervous men right their own homes—without any additional prescription medicines that I make every man who wishes to regain his quiet and virility, quickly and quietly would have a copy. So I have determined exactly what prescription free of charge in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who wrote me for it. I presume comes from a physician who has made a special study of man and I am convinced it is the surreal combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. think I owe it to my fellow man to take a copy in confidence, so that any man I meet who is weak and discouraged with what he does may stop drugging himself with harmful secrets, secure what I believe is the quickest and restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOUCHING remedy, ever devised, and so cure him himself. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. E. Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Detroit, Md., and I will send you a copy of this method, receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free, many doctors would charge $3.00 to $4.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free.

Jack Johnson's battles with the heavy hitters are set forth in an illustrated journal this week in an interesting way. He plays the role of a lone autumn leaves on a gusty day. He is seen in action thirteen times, out of which he twice failed to score. In 1956 he lost to Marion Hearn in a close play. In 1961 he Choynski; the remaining eleven battles are as follows: Horace Miles, 1901; "Denver" Ed Martin, 1903; Sandy Ferguson, 1903; Sam Ketchall, 1904; Joe Jeanette, 1906; Jim Flynn, 1907; Bob Fitzimmons, 1908; Tommy Burns, 1908; Stanley Ketchell, 1909; Jim Jeffries, 1910. He answered to be all big numbers and worthy of the Johnson passion. He played many others yet, who, in addition to the ones named make a list that no one else can match, but I guess its worth the while since our subject is so conspicuously to the fore. This, however; there is a little discrepancy somewhere. But the he had never been outpointed. He did not qualify his statement. It appears that he was outpointed and whipped by Marvin Hart and Joe Choynski. He talked and sporting circles. Now there's a question of veracity between us. In plain English, and as the band played, "Somebody Lied." Well, its not so important all, in view of his uninterrupted The list of his battles, including those already mentioned, follows: 1967.

The matter of referee has called Johnson to stay wake o' nights, maybe. Doubtless the business is settled by this time, and the business is settled from which to choose, including sport notables from various parts of the country. Among those are the names of Charles O'Malley, Las Vegas; Ed Smith, New York; Griswold, Omaha; Honest John Kelly and Sam Austin, New ork; Otto Floto and Abe Pollock; Denver; George Barton, Minneapolis; Edward Cochrane, Kansas City; Frank L. St. Louis, and Charles Murray of Buralo. Jim Flynn wasn't nearly so particular TODD AND MONROE AT THIRD CHIEF RUBE FOSTER WAS A BIG DRAWING CARD HIMSELF TODD MONROE FOSTER ist sees the Chicago American as to who the referee should be; he said that Anna Held or Eva Tanguy would be able to do something like that. He seems to be satisfied that he does the job everybody will know it. Tommy Ryan, a "wit" at the business, is trying his best to make a master of his pupil, Jim Flynn. Ryan knows that Flynn's only hope to beat Johnson is to follow along that line, and from all accounts very much pleased with the showing Flynn is making. I have spoken of those short piston real love that Flynn infiltrates, when he on exam him in Indianapolis. To the uninitiated they did not appear very effective or scientific, but I knew him on exam him as Ryan seems to indorse his method. He has tried Flynn out and finds him all that he could hope for. NOTES IN AND AROUND THE CAMPS. One day last week 2,500 dropped into the champs improvised stadium to see him train. Ten cents, please. Ryan is afraid that Flynn is overdoing the job. He had him knock off for a day or so. Evidently he means business. The people of New Mexico are said to be unanimous for the fight. They are a nation of Indians, Mexicans, Greasers, Natives, and so forth and on, and some white people. Jack Curley says the Arena will be portable. It will be made in Kansas. It will be shipped into Las Vegas ready to put up. Three or four days at most will be required to get it up. Capacity 17,000 seats. Johnson is inclined to do a little betting on the side. He takes $16,000 to $6,000 on himself. That's confidence, all right. Corbett says Johnson is taking a correspondence course in training. Flanagan teaches him. Flan. communicate daily. Jack telling Flan how much he's done; Flan telling Jack how to do it. That's what Corbett says we can't always believe these ex-champions. Johnson is taking things rather cool about his training. He said what in Indianapolis that with ten days' notice he would knock out a bull. He's about made, as the arviculturists say, ready to lay by. A paper report has it that the champion one day last week weighed 224 pounds when he finished. That was going some. He expects to enter the ring at something like 210 or 212. It has been definitely decided by the promoters of the fight that the men shall enter the ring about 2 o'clock (Las Vegas time) and that there will be only one preliminary.

Three of the Comet's best men were absent on that day. Both teams put up a good fight in the second game.

JACK JOHNSON VISITS FIREMAN JIM FLYNN IN HIS OWN CAMP. LAS VEGAS, N.

In fact, Flynn and Johnson were chained to a pair of club mates during the time Jack was the former's guest. The visit was formal—a whim of Johnson—when I拿 took his party out as usual for a ride. "Hello, fireman," was the champion's cheery greeting, as Flynn dropped the paper he was reading on the porch and amazement at the machine-load of enemies. "Hello, champ; how are you today?" called out Flynn, and the entire training party swarmed down the lawn to greet him. The machine was shown all over the Flynn reservation. ADDYSTON, O. (By N. C.

Dr. J. W. Wood, who came to this city in 1904, and assumed the pastorate of the historic Jones Taber School, the Blackford streets, served it and the friends in a most pleasing and helpful manner for four years, during which he had the opportunity among which were the following: The remodeling of both the exterior and interior of the church, the installation of a new pulpit, the down of a handsome red Brussels carpet. When this was done he began to tone up the membership, which grew so much that he had to attend a premium. He remained in this pastorate until he was assigned by Bishop J. S. Caldwell to State Street A. M. E. Z. During his pastorate at Mobile he was looked upon and regarded as one of the foremost ministers in the city. He was also a member of the life of the people of Mobile. January 18, 1911, his church gave him a six-months' vacation (continued to pay his salary) for his trip to Africa and Con His travels covered about 19,476 miles. At our last general conference, which was held at Charlotte, N. C., Dr. Wood was elected corresponding secretary of the South Eleventh street, Philadelphia, and residence at 1046 Traub avenue, in this city. The western wing of the church rejoices in the fact that it has a resident general officer, as it beats his hip, which by way of stimulating the members and fostering the work in this section. Y. M.

Chestnut St. The annual nervousness that comes over the public teachers of Louisville is all over. Teachers have for the most part been re-elected. Among the changes that we have noted are the following: Prof. W. P. Annis, who for so many years has served as teacher in the high school, dropped from the position of Paul Lawrence School, dropped Prof. Dan. Lawson, who has served as principal during the past scholastic term, resigned voluntarily and accepted a job as an assistant teacher. The position of principal is vacant. The field is filled with applicants. We hope the best person will win. Rumor has it that one of our adult teachers is an applicant. Superintendent Holland in such cases takes his time. A large number of Louisville boys and girls who have been attending some of our leading colleges and normal schools have returned to the city for the summer period. Quite a number of persons left this week for Chicago, to be present at the Republican convention. eW wonder how many will be fortunate to secure tickets. Cupid has been very busy during the last two months it seems and his arrows raphers and clerks. A short time ago he stopped at the Douglass building and pierced the heart of one of the clerks. In the same building asking one of the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER stenographers to meet him on July 2 in a western city. He was not satisfied with a bus but without visited Brown's Public Library, the school of Stenography on West Chestnut street, and appeared the heart of Miss Marie Streaty, the stenographer, who was quietly marryable. Her career last three weeks ago in Jeffersonville, and Mr. Mr. are at home for Forest avenue, Chicago. All the result is the manager of the school is scouring the country for a good stenographer. In coming in every day he is leading a streamlife these days in Kentucky trying to turn out work on schedule time. Stenographers, if you want to get married come to Kentucky. Miss Juanna Adams, the very efficient stenographer who for a long time served as stenographer for Miss Nannle Burrows, the author of the city the guest of Miss Katie Brown on Second street. Miss Adams is an expert operator of the linotype machine in a Methodist publishing house in Nashville, in the city for a few days she will leave for Kansas City to visit her parents.

At this writing Dr. C. H. Harris, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, is confined to his bed with a severe attack of lumbago. Rector Ferguson * * * * * is sojourning in Chicago this week. The Colored Orphans Home is making a strenuous effort to raise the balance of the amount due on the property at 18th street. There is a balance of about 900. His extension has extended the time until July 1. --- The courts decided a short time ago that Calvary Baptist church, at 5th and York streets, must pay taxes on their property. This decision was a very imminent one. It is one of the same white churches who own vast amounts of property in the city to pay up what is due for taxes. So strange that the city all of these years has overlooked some of these issues. If these same persons white congregations yet was able to point out just what was owned by the colored congregation. But in forcing them to pay they involved unconsciously a large number of others. Law is properly applied knows no prejudice. ** Strange to say that some of our public spirited persons are always scoring a colored newspaper correspondent for not publishes their stories. Law is properly applied will take their copies to the white papers and give them the news. A colored paper is forced to copy items after they have appeared in some of our local newspapers. Law is at the same time you take your copy to the white press. ** The keeper of the Tenth-street tea shop is ill and his restaurant is closed, but his traffic is going on as before. ** Don't forget, friends, that the Freeman is still being sold in Louisville at newsstands, and you can secure the seascape of a good newspaper hustler to handle the Freeman in different sections of the city.
