NUMBER 29 HILLES NEW CHAIRMAN COLORED VOTERS WILL RALLY UNDER NEW LEADERSHIP NEGRO MADE WELCOME AT WHITE HOUSE Merited Promotion Robert O. Bailey— The Kind of Friend the Negro Needs in all government Departments—Office Holder Re-appointed. By R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 17.—With the election of Mr. Charles D. Hilles as national chairman, the Republican campaign may be said to be in "full swing." The choice he is regarded as especially fitting he is a true-blue Republican, and in him the basic principles of the party are firmly grounded. He is intensely loyal to the fortunes of President Taft and the military and the affairs, and is equipped to direct a national presidential campaign with most of the advantages enjoyed by previous field captains, without being handicapped with many of their disadvantages; his methods are clean and up to date; he has a host of friends, and no personal enemies; and, possessing as he does the confidence and respect of the position to bring into harmonious action more of the various elements that make for victory than any other chairman who could have been named. Broad in sympaties and generous by nature, he is the ideal to all plans that may be suggested to him, accepting the wise and rejecting those that do not measure up to the standard fixed by him. He will be fair alike to the other East and West leaders in the record to both and every man the respectful consideration that is due him, regardless of his position or estate. The colored Republicans are delighted with the selection of Mr. Hilles. From the past, he has been a popular past, they kno wethen can expect a "square deal" at his hands throughout the impending battle, and they will stand by him. He has been a strong supporter of states are already getting in touch with him, and as soon as the details of the campaign are mapped out, he will be hearing from them by mail. He will be sharing his states with others, all eager to share in the work that is to be done. No red-tape system will bar the humble from recognition, but he will do him. That the battle will be fierce, no one can doubt; but, if every Republican will do his full duty by the regular ticket, falling in line behind Mr. Hilles, victory will be guaranteed upon the party's banner in November. The Promotion of Robert O. Bailey Mr. Bailey has taken an exceptionally active interest in the colored men with whom he has been brought into contact in the Treasury Department. Knowing no color in talent, he has in numerous instances gone out of his way to lend his influence to secure the advancement of worthy numbers of nor race, and to urge them to fit the theatre may ultimately place duties that fortune may sample within their reach. Wherever a colored man has shown capacity for better assignments, he has found Mr. Bailey ready and anxious to assist him to attain the goal of his ambition. More than one deserving Negro has been retained in the department through the timely intervention in this big-hearted man of affairs. In this humane concern for the welfare of the colored man, in the public service, Mr. Bailey sets an example by departmental chieftains who would make the lot of our people a much happier one. He is the kind of a man we want in the forefront of national authority, and it is a safe prediction that the zenith of his great possi- JUL 201912 blities has not yet been reached. President Taft and Secretary MacVeagh have our thanks for the additional honor they have conferred upon Robert O. Bailey. Mr. Forster to Act as Secretary to the President Mr. Rudolph Forsier, another staunch friend of the Negro race (is to act as secretary to President Taft during the period of Mr. Hilles' service as chairman of the Egyptian national committee. He has and implements a duty of the position, and that he will measure up to all expectations goes without the saying Colored men who have had business at the White House have alluded to the utmost courtesy, and his affability has made it a pleasure to visit there. Mr. Forster, like Mr. Hilles, is one of the potent agencies that have generated a cortex atmosphere at the White House and raised the President higher in the affection and esteem of the plain people of the nation. National Civil and Political League in Session The National Civil and Political League, the object of which is to safeguard the civil and political rights of the colored people of the country, is in session at the delegates number between three and four hundred and nearly all of the states are represented. Rev. S. L. Corrothers, for ten years pastor of Galbraith church, is speaking the keynote indicates the high importance he be taken by the thoughtful men of the race on all of the vital questions which enter into the campaign now upon us. It was conceded to be one of the ablest men in the country to be should take with reference to men and measures, and established Dr. Corrothers firmly as one of the leaders who can be trusted to hold up the racial banner this year. He announced that W. Calvin Chase, Bishop C. L. Blackwell, C. R. Richardson, Joseph H. Stewart, Hon. W. A. Rodenburg and others are announced for speeches. Resolutions of the Negro Convention his sturdy refusal to name a "jim-crow" Justice for the Supreme Court and for his constant and active interest in the educational uplift of the race will be adopted, and another Hoke Smith's sturdy refusal to name a "jim-crow" trict will be acted upon. A strong address to the country will be sent out by the league. From these indications, the organization will declare William Howard Taft to be its choice for President of the United States. Such an endorsement, coming from an aggregation of representative Negroes, hailing from every section of the country cannot but have a helpful effect in clarifying the nebulous situation now existing. Carnegie Lauds Washington's Leader shin Andrew Carnegie, the philanthropist and international advocate of peace, writing to Dr. Booker T. Washington from Skibo Castle, Scotland, in acknowledgment of Gustavus Adolphus, the public press on the subject of Negroes who have received recognition at the hands of the Carnegie Hero Commission, says: "We highly gratified at the constant proof that we have that our colored brethren are justifying our faith in them, under your wise leadership, which is one of the most important facts of life in the Philippines. This whole-souled sentiment, coming from such an eminent authority, ought to be highly encouraging to the entire race. The heroism of our brethren and the sagacious leadership of the "Wizard" of Sussexes must be curtages of which we all justly feel proud. "A Liar" in the New York Age. As a matter of fact, the Washington Bee, in good faith, mentioned the eminent North Carolinian as suitable material for the presidency of Howard University, then vacant. The Durham Reformer followed the same. The Durham Reformer, with others, mentioned the fact that the gentleman from Durham had been "mentioned" in this connection, and approved of the same. The gentleman, who had no part in the "mentioned" done by his inception, was not a candidate, and announced a preference to remain where his life work is being carried on. All of this was in the legitimate province of live journalism.

However, we leave him, like Ephiram, "joined to his ideals of malicious mendacity." The Christian statesman and religious educator in North Carolina needs no defense at the hands of anybody. He must mute from any harm that unspeakable cowards can do him through newspaper philipsics, sneaked in when the editor was not looking. Neither do the galaxy of students in North Carolina compete in championship in these columns. The good they are doing, in bringing forward the worthy men and women of the race, speaks for itself. Oftimes, at a personal level, he is a dourious dispensers of the limelight are pointing the world's workers onward, while the Age's consciencele purveyor of filth is revelling in his noisome cave, trying, juvenile-like, to tear to tatters the noisy woman, the noisy aspiring man or woman, the latches of whose shoes he is unworthy to unlose. Howard University's New Head. Although the vote of the trustees for Dr. Newman is said to have been unanimous, the presidents were given very supplementary consideration, among them Prof. Kelly Miller, Prof. George William Cook, Prof. Robert B. H. H. Miller, Prof. Paul Barch, all connected with the faculty of the school. The advisability of choosing a colored man was carefully looked into, but the prospect did not seem to be good. The board was then discussed far and wide. It is given out in confidence that but two of the colored members of the board took an aggressive stand for the election of a colored member, for the sake of harmony, majority finally for the sake of harmony.

Lewis CHICAGO, Ill., July 18.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, knows that the Chicago people like pleasure, and to this end, he opened the Cafe de Champion (formerly the Old Palmetto) the time it opened to the present time it has been crowded with pleasure seekers. The cafe is the most elaborately furnished in this section of the country. The appointments, designing, oil paintings, tapestries, and sculptures, such artistic finish that one will stand in awe, while viewing the beautiful interior. The painter showed master strokes when he delicately tinted the ceiling with flowers and added to this, the walls were painted with a variety of size oil painting of the champion and his mother, the champion and his wife, one of himself in jugular form, another, taking up a very large space said to have been the size of a smaller frame is the honoree of the father.

Ellis on Liberia In the July number of the Journal of Race Development, published by Clark University, Worcester, Mass., there appear to be two important banks, the George W. Ellis, of Chicago, on "The Political Importance of the International Loan in Liberia." The article is a very interesting and readable one and contains an interesting and important discussion under which Liberia's foreign and domestic debt has been refunded. According to Mr. Ellis, certain banking institutions of the United States, Germany, France and Great Britain agree, further paying $1,700,000 to be refunded in paying the Liberian indebtedness in accordance with the terms of an agreement, the details of which he sets forth with the Bank of the United States. Four powers are to loan this sum and under a general receivership administer Liberian customs during the life of the loan, during which a sinking fund is acquired. The loan is to be paid to the debt. The life of the loan is forty years and each nation is represented in the international administration by one receiver, the general receiver being from the Bank of the United States. The effect on July 1, 1912. The loan is floated by five per cent sinking fund gold bonds, not to exceed $1,700,000 in the dominant bank, $500 and $100. The general receiver is paid $,500 and the other receivers $2,500. General Receivership. The general receiver is also to be financial adviser to the republic. The bonds are issued by the financial centers of the lending powers. The receivership is also to assist in the organization of a force for the protection of the customs on the sea board along the coast. The army from time to time to be designated by the President of the United States are to take charge of the Liberian frontier along the constabulary stations along the Anglo- and French borders. Those desiring to know more about the plan by which Liberia has been saved from the greed of powers should refer to the article just described sets forth the new era opening up before Liberia, in which the future of the country seems secure and encouraging. The author quotes from the President, who has just entered upon his duties under this new agreement, and gives the splendid qualifications of the new President and his able cabinet, who now have charge for four years of the administration. A very fine quotation is given from His Excellency, President Howard: President's Address. "The financial agreement recently concluded between the government of Liberia and certain American and European capitals, and the State Department at Washington, it is needless to say, has my strongest envoy and my approving. The new administration believes itself to be strictly all of its provisions and to afford all necessary facilities for its smooth and effective operation. Though in some respects it may appear to place a little restriction upon us in the management, collection and control of our customs revival efforts, to prove to the bearers will, I am sure, prove to be inaccurate, to elit the republic. Hence, it becomes the solemn imperative duty of every citizen to give the individual support to the government, to provide for the government such measure, which must tend to our national preservation and security. If the temporary management in the hands of our government machinery will result in an independent and international respect, which I firmly believe will be the duty of patriotic citizens to our imperative duty as patriotic citizens to make such a necessary and noble sacrifice.

Y. READ THE WORDS OF OTHERS I cannot begin to tell you all the benefits I have received since the arrival of the two specimens of Loadstones you sent me. 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 through the power and influence of two Loadstones.

Trouble began as of old; my husband was fretful and finding fault, with everything. 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.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER SHORT FLIGHTS. BY R. W. THOMPSON. If the flowers on our coffin Had been placed upon our life, They woul aid us in succeeding In many a fearful strife. And the words of love we utter When our friends have passed away Should have echoed to the living And not o'er their pulseless clay. If you have flowers to give me, Let me know their sweets today; I'll not need them on my coffin When my soul has passed away. —Old Pqem. * * * The campaign is wide open. * * * The festive "summer girl" is on the job. * * * Widows show no signs of waning popularity. * * * The A. M. E. Zion Church will stand for "expansion" in 1916. The agricultural college and vocational school have the call. * * * The clans had better get together, whether they like one another or not. * * * The sore spots engendered at Chicago, Kansas City and Charlotte are healing. * * * Friendships stand a poor show when rival ambitions get into the equation. * * * Nevertheless and notwithstanding, it is believed that some married folks are happy. * * * Volatile and versatile “Phil” Waters is West Virginia’s logical “national quantity.” * * * There are “friends” whose chief function seems, to be to tell the unpleasant truths about you. Dr. Booker T. Washington gives his hearty and unqualified indorsement to the National Negro Press Association. Kisses suffer no slump in fashion, despite the dire predictions put out by the germ fiends and other prophets of evil. * * * 'No use trying to keep John C. Dancy out of office. He is sure to land somewhere, in church, politics or business. * * * If the Bahai religion will wipe out the vexious color line in this country, it is worthy of a respectful hearing for its cause. * * * Differ as we may, every honest Negro is anxious to see his race go forward in education, business and political importance. The dreamer dreams great things for the advancement of civilization, and the practical man of business makes the money out of them. * * * * It tries one's faith in human probity when the candidate who has enough pledges to elect him to office, finds his name showing up in the "scattering" column. * * * * A thrilling volume on "How to Be Beautiful, Though Colored," has made its appearance, and is making a strong bid to be one of the season's "best sellers." * * * * Former Gov. Pinchback is happy over the renomination of President Taft. He can now venture into the streets of Harlem without getting into an acrimonious debate. Now and then you can find a clerk in the circulation department of a colored newspaper who will change the address on your paper upon the receipt of one notification. * * * Dr. C. V. Roman will find another ring into which to cast his hat. Though defeated by unforeseen circumstances at Kansas City, he is by no means "down and out." * * * One of the significant effects of a rigid Sunday law is to make some "prudent" citizens feel that they must lay in a quart of "redeye" or a case of beer on Saturday night. * * * Senator Mark Smith is the only Bourbon bully to assault a Negro hotel or railway employee this season. Stone and Heflin carried off the doubtful honors in this direction last year. When grafters have such signal success in "getting by" in church, lodge, politics, schools and society, it has a tendency to shake a fellow's faith in the old adage that "honesty is the best policy." * * * The struggle between the political parties and factions within the parties spells "opportunity" for the Negro who has the sense and courage to grasp the situation and compel results. * * * Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the race's premier elocutionist, is a native of Maryland, and is a lineal descendant of Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, whose name appears conspicuously as a signer of the Declaration of Independence. A bishop should be required to live within his district, in close touch with his ministerial co-workers and with the people he is appointed to lead. Episcopal districts should be made up of contiguous territory, saving time and traveling expenses. While some of the religious denominations are debating whether or not women should be allowed to preach. Mrs. Florence Randolph, Mrs. Mary J. Small, Mrs. Lena Mason and Mrs. Annie Brown are just going ahead with their preaching. That's all.

At Chicago, just before the decision of the Colonel to head an independent movement, an Irish Democrat was heard to observe, "Should Roosevelt run and be defeated, there is just one thing for him to do to retain his popularity. That would be to come forward as a 'white hope' challenger of Jack Johnson." Dr. W. W. Beckett, who was defeated for the bishopric at Kansas City, and then "lost out" for the missionary secretaryship, which he already had, has been handed a "consolation prize" in the shape of the presidency of Allen University, at Columbia, S. C., succeeding the newly-elected Bishop W. D. Chappelle. When does Dr. Vernon get his consolation prize? Mrs. Cecilia K. Yerby, wife of Consul W. J. Yerby, of Sierra Leone, West Africa, instructor in languages and history in the State University, Louisville, Ky., is the author of a neat article in a current journal, entitled "Art Museums of Paris." Mrs. Yerby spent quite a while in the French capital, and that she kept her eyes and ears wide open is attested by the comprehensive story she tells of the ins and outs of the artistic side of Parisian life. * * * There were no Negroes on the ill-fated Titanic when she went down in midocean. It develops that none were to be permitted to cross the pond on the majestic liner, as several wealthy Americans, who wished to carry colored servants with them on the vessel's return trip to Europe, were told that they would have to take another ship if they wished to have Negroes to accompany them. The judgment of Providence intervened and the order became nil. VALDOSTA, GA. By Willie F. Williams. Special to The Freeman.

A rare spectacle to be pulled off at Chicago when the Bull Moosers meet—tickets $10, $15 and $20 if you wish to see the whole show. Perhaps Senator Lorimer did not sin per se. But somebody did considerable of it, if one is to believe all of those confessions of money received for votes. The province of Ontario, Canada, has passed a law empowering local school boards to require the attendance of boys and girls up to 18 years of age at day or evening classes. Calling Taggart a boss. And we suppose he is, but just look at Mr. Bryan and Mr. Roosevelt. They are the kind that S. H. Dudly, comedian, speaks of as Captain Boss. Bryan was useful enough. But was he any less a boss? Don't need any separate playground about the court house, Mr. Tutewiler. It looks too much as if the city or county was sanctioning it. We are not without separate concerns, but it should not appear that the business was being boomed. We are holding our own most beautifully in all respects. In Sweden the American sport representatives won largely over all competitors. America's boast of the best in all things is not so empty after all. We are simply invincible, that all there is to it. According to the census of 1910, Alaska has a population of 64,356, which is apportioned among the races as follows: White, 36,347; Indian, 25,331; Negro, 209; Chinese, 1,209; Japanese, 913; all other, 347. The colored brother don't seem to be any too ambitious about the northern zone. The National Negro Business Men's League, which meets in Chicago next month, will prove an interesting session. The movement has nothing to do with politics. Nevertheless, it stands to reason that the eyes of the big politicians will be on the meeting, owing to the very interesting political situation this year. While Thomas Jefferson was President he said: "I sincerely wish we could see our government so secured as to depend less on the character of the person in whose hands it is trusted. Bad men will sometimes get in and with such an immense patronage, may make great progress in corrupting the public mind and principles." The long-headed Thomas. Bear in mind that Mr. Roosevelt is trying to build up a party. If he is successful he will present a program of principles that are more appealing than those of the now existing parties. To attempt to win with the same line of principles of either party would be simply the undue assertion of the individual. We worship principles—not individuals. Student-nomads or Wandervoegel (wanderbirds), as they are called, who spread over Austria in vacation time, receive free lodging in Vienna, as the guests of the city. These nomads come from Germany, Holland, England and Scandanavia, and the wanderings of many of them extend to the Lower Danube. The authorities are now planning rooms connected with schoolhouses for their accommodation. Perhaps Woodrow Wilson did not say that he was proud of the fact that "no Negro has ever entered Princeton as a student since I have been president." That report is being circulated. We would not like to think of a candidate of any of the greater parties having decided anti-Negro views, further than those suggested by the general racial condition. We think the situation warrants an expression from the Democratic candidate for President. Will he give it; Charles Arthur Carlisle, of South Bend, Ind., is being prominently mentioned for governor on the Republican ticket. Mr. Carlisle seems to be admired for his business views and methods. He says: "If chosen governor of this state I pledge myself to serve you honestly, industriously and without discrimination; to apply to the business interests of the state exactly the same business principles that have been applied in my business career, so that --- the dividends of peace and prosperity shall be the greatest possible. "I believe profoundly in rule by the people, and that the governor should serve in the interests of the people, and not in the interests of special organizations, classes or creed. I will undertake to give the office the highest efficiency of service and consciousness of personal responsibility of which I am capable." Had Mr. Blaine been in the Roosevelt frame of mind he could have split the country in twain. Had Samuel J. Tilden been of the Roosevelt frame of mind there would have been a civil war in 1876 in commemoration of the country's one-hundredth birth year. These great figures threw themselves in the balances on the side of peace and national concord as became patriots who would sink to oblivion if in doing so it meant perpetuity of the state. THAT'S THE STUFF. tor of Indiana favoring Mr. Roosevelt, recently had the following to say: "If I join this third party movement, I will not remain on the Republican ticket for elector. I will not double-cross anybody. I would not be willing to remain on the Republican ticket, and have people vote for me with the understanding that if elected I would vote for President Taft. That would be unfair to the voters who would vote for me. If I were to remain on the ticket and should happen to be elected under those circumstances I should vote for Mr. Taft. But I shall either resign or allow the Republican state convention to put me off the ticket. It makes little difference to me which way it is done." That's the stuff. Whatever may be the intricacies of the electoral situation, Mr. McGreevy, whoever he is, has said his piece all right. This is the spirit of rather be right than be President. And indeed if our republic is to endure in its usual simplicity we will have to take on more of that kind of spirit. The nation is as one man when political honesty abounds; where the greatest is as the humblest, all eager to serve the state and not the individual. This is simplicity, and simplicity is strength. The victorious Greeks were a simple people. No candidate should be so important to the presidency as to require the stultification of manhood, and especially if there are other candidates who are capable and honorable. What we think others do is beside the question. The individual should see to it that he deports himself as Mr. McGreevy says he will do. He knows that if Mr. Roosevelt sets up a third party that he has no right to the electors chosen in the name of the Republican party. Mr. Roosevelt's party is not the Republican party, since he chose to have it different. SOME BAD PRINCIPLES. If the so-called progressives have anything to do with those political principles set forth in one of our daily papers this week, it will be just as well not to set up for business. Principles of government are based on human nature. Those rules to which the greatest number give assent, and which are at the same time effective to the ends in view, are the best. Lik rules in grammar, they are discoveries more than otherwise, and not arbitrary engines of government made beforehand. Evolution is also it, in that as time progresses change may be indicated in the branches, but is scarcely perceptible in the stem and root. In other words, the fundamentals are not susceptible to change. Or if so, it is that change which keeps pace with that of human nature, which is very, very slow. Henry Cabot Lodge, senator, speaking on the constitution not long since, said that there were but a few larger principles added to the program of government at its best since the days of Justinian or Lycurgus, or words to that effect. And it's true enough, indeed, if there is anything at all added. The people know this and when there is undue and continued usurpation they pull out the authority that abides in the individual conscience, on the relation of governor and the governed. Our own revolution, the French revolution and the English revolution, with its Cromwell, are examples. An independent, unindictable judiciary is the very first essential to a stable government. Property rights, protection to life and limb must be assured or else the dread state of anarchy prevails, meaning reprisal, unlawful seizure, the law of might and the rest of it. And yet the would-be progressionists would assault this very fountain of good government, subjecting it to the capricious public, the greater part of which is ignorant of its own means of safety. PREACH THE TRUTH. Theodore Roosevelt is the Abraham Lincoln of our times. He is by proven right the new emancipator of the black man as well as of the white man. As in 1861, the party of progress will find the colored man brave and true, carrying its standards over the ramparts of unequal opportunity, disfranchisement and Jim Crowism to the victory of a square deal for every man beneath the stars and stripes.—The Amsterdam News. Well, we guess this is a free country and an individual can say what he chooses. But it nearly drives one to desperation to see such perverseness. Where is the comparison in a single instance that shows Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt anything alike? At this time there are many things to say that are truth ful and at the same time helpful, that it is not necessary to become sacrificious in order to appear effective. The most conscientious of us sometimes vary from the truth, but it is not the intent, we feel to say. Nothing is more reprehensible than those of large audiences, as newspapers have generally, making statements solely for the purpose of misleading. Ours is a poor, misguided race at best. It does not come in contact, freely enough, with the best thought and judgment of the day, hence it is more or less crotchety on political questions, notwithstanding the disposition to appear informed. It will be urged, and rightfully enough, that the masses The colored people especially stand in need of conscientious, informed individuals in front, who should see things in their right relation. In fact, they must see or fail of the qualifications as informed individuals. Passion and selfish interests played havoc with far too many during the recent campaign, as noted at Chicago. Here was a case where information was not at all wanting in those in front, but some showed lack of conscience, or they subordinated it to the selfish end of personal ambition. Mr. Roosevelt's third term promoters broke their reserve, crossed over to the domain of political imprudence, carrying hosts with them who affected to see things as those in front saw them, when in fact they did not. They heard an off' repeated name, but which at no time has been associated with any particular striking civil deed. But of all this only a few, if more than one or two, were so careless as to think to see something common in Lincoln and Roosevelt. That Negroes should affect to see a resemblance in the two presidents is the height of absurdity. In fact, Mr. Roosevelt stands apart from all the nation's past executives, each of whom in some way recognized the weight of burden on him, the tremendous responsibility of the safe conduct of a great people. Mr. Roosevelt would have it appear that the job was dead easy, that he could do it with "one hand tied behind him." He wants another chance instead of thankking God that he got through without a too serious bungle, without war with its legalized crime. Abraham Lincoln came with fear and trembling; George Washington came with fear and trembling; Thomas Jefferson and the rest of them down, Benjamin Harrison, all of them, if we may judge from the profound reverence of the people, came with a respect that inspired the same in the people.

Out of the three ballots cast, Mr. Smith won by only one vote as grand master of the Grand United Order of Masons, and by only one grand master, made an eloquent speech in presenting the gavel to Mr. Smith. Mrs. Daisy M. Saffell was elected D. G. W. T. of the Household of Ruth. Mother Grubby M. T. was made the report of measure after Ruth, and the memorial service and many eulogies were delivered in memory of the dead sisters. After a joint meeting, Bowling Green was selected as the next meeting place of the Household of Ruth. While in that city your correspondent made a supplement to the Somerset Leader, which contained an account of the meeting and cuts of several of the prominent members, and no other even columns for the Somerset Times and had a sketch in the Somerset Journal. The Knights of Pythias throughout the state are bound for Bowling Green. With the hope of electing one of three men grand chancellor, it was decided at a conference in the state would have a large sign bearing the name of Frankfort and they will rent a flat and have their steam roller well oiled. Dr. E. E. Underwood is the engi- neer of the Frankfort Toot, toot, we are off for Bowling Green. Frankfort has more voters than any city in the state. This delegation will go unin-structed and they will control the solid candidates are J. F. Jones, of Henderson A. L. Garvin, of Harrisburg, and L. R. Diggs, of Georgetown, and none of these men are the candidates of any Sir Knight down, correspondent to this paper, said a few weeks ago in an issue of this paper. The largest picnic that has ever been given in this city was at the beautiful Glenwood park. The Toussaint Protective Aid Club, of Louisville, brought a special excursion, headed by the Western Union, to the city. The Toussaint headed by the Hamilton Military band of Lexington. This was the largest gathering of people that has been in the city for several years. The parade was headed by the two most famous bands in Kenyan uniforms, and the Hamilton uniforms, and the Toussants with their tails and auto-ulsters on were very attractive to the public. We welcome them to our city at all times. The immoral死 that was referred to in last week's issue, which is west of the old state house and opposite some very prominent families in another lodge building near a large stone Negro lodge building that has been for months and months a first-class assignation house among the higher class of girls who considered themselves better than the common girls, that is, the girls who have been for months and months a little high school education. But some of the young men who belonged to that place where only young men are allowed, are guilty of making prostitutes out of other young men and are girls. But the beloved mothers and fathers are on their guard, and will see from this on that these young men will not take advantage of the tender love of their children, and the chances with somebody that is worth having, whereof I speak, and some young men with sweet and selate young sisters are blind enough to fight for this dive and call the writer a lar, when theythem-ness has been of bringing girls into that dive, Mr. L. D. head trustee of that building, will see that this place will no more be used for this place will no more be used for these young men will not be the escorts of these tender-hearted girls love, and make prostitutes out of them, will be debarred from the homes of these young girls.

Mr. Hill was the guest of your correspondent Monday and we enjoyed visiting the scenery of the little city and the more historical places. The Central Kentucky Negro Chautauqua is about at hand and it seems the sentiment of every Negro in central Kentucky to be at Georgetown at that time, August 4 to 11, and enjoy the great educational feast, and to hear the great star speakers of the day.

CHICAGO, Ill., July 16.—Last Sunday was a hot day and a hot game was played at Schorlings park between the American Giants and the St Louis Giants. It was a game of games, five games to play in this city between the two teams. Fully 7,000 people saw the local team come out victorious in the ninth inning. The visitors had the game over in the seventh inning, of 7 to 2. In the ninth, Hill, Duncan and Payne were on bases when Teenny made a hit and brought in two scores. The defense came to the aid of Teenny, and brought in more, making also been made in the eighth. It was a great rally. "Rube's" admirers jumped into the field, yelling frantically. Jack Johnson champion heavyweight pugilist, played the game. Foster stated that the crowd was the largest that ever attended a semi-pro baseball game. Five hundred extra chairs were placed in the field and fully five hundred seats were placed in the playground the week and a big game for the coming Sunday. The score. Home Boys iWn Third Game The third game between the American Giants and the St. Louis Giants was played Tuesday at Scholrling's park, and the home boys won another sensational game on Friday. The Giants are the most interesting and hard fought ever seen at this park. Neither team was unable to score throughout the eight innings, both fighting like demons. In the second half, the Giants under the generalship of "Rube" Foster, got three men on bases and a clean hit was made, bringing in one tally, which was enough, 1 to 0, in favor of the Giants. The splendid game as did the pitcher for the visitors. But few errors were made and the large crowd cheered the good plays made by both teams. Both teams pitched well, and the Giants got rewarded, and the American Giants will go to the Gunthers on Saturday, returning on Sunday. Mr. Scholrling will place 1,000 more chairs in the field to accommodate the crowd. The game on Sunday promises to be more sensational than the one last Sunday. Boxes may be ordered in ad- tention. To play games biennial scheduled in the Windy City. It must be understood that no betting is allowed at the American Giants' park, and the game being in same will be elected by the police. The ushers are very polite to persons having box seat tickets, and those not holding coupons will not be allowed to sit in box seats. Notes on the Game. The crowd last Sunday was the largest ever seen at Schorling's park. Jack Johnson, the champion heavy-weight pugilist, pitched the first ball last Sunday and it was a strike. The crowd went into ectacades. Mr. Schorling, the owner of the park, is thinking seriously of having a special box for newspaper men. It's not too late for him to act. "Chappie" Johnson and another one of the St. Louis Giants were spiked during the series, but not in intentionally. Pierce is not only playing excellent ball at first base, but is hitting almost every time h egoes to bat. He is called "Home Run Pierce." Monroe, the famous second baseman, was hit upon the head with a ball on Sunday, but this did not keep him from bringing in score. "Money" is one of the most popular men on the team and is compelled to close his cap in response to encores given by enthusiastic fans in the grandstand. Walter Ball, who is classed as one of the greatest pitchers in this country, made a wonderful showing last Sunday. His record is 99 per cent. Great credit must be given the St. Louis team. Little or no criticism is offered against them. They play a most consistent and scientific game. Pryor, Wallace and Ball are three of the best players on the St. Louis team, and were with Rube last season. From the healthy applause given the St. Louis team, the fact is evident that there are a number of St. Louis people in the "Wndy City." A band of music will entertain the fans on next Sunday, from 2 to 4 in the afternoon. Read The Freeman and keep up with the series.

Both men have been seen in Indianapolis before, each at a different playhouse, each using a different act. But this time they come to us in their original act, and, in the case of the female teams, they happily did not indulge in any regulation stage stuff and old time coarse jests and time-worn humor, but please the audience in a clean, wholesome manner. Mr. Morton, as every one knows, is a man who is not afraid to hear. He always dresses in the heights. THE MARRIAGE OF JOHN AND MARY of fashion, his dwarfaroe being par excellent. Mr. Allen is not only a well known comedian, but a musician as well. Mr. Allen is one of the late stars of the War of the World, and he has no mean ability, his playing a violin and doing comedy work all at the same time is a hit. Mr. Morton has always been a Crown favorite, and now that Mr. Allen has introduced himself to us, we look for more to see more of their good work together. Robbins and Robbins.

Billy McCarren, who has been long numbered among the elevators of comedies, took like an elevator song. Going all was that could be desired. Mrs. McCarren sang a pretty love song. She has grown a little more portly than lanky actresses generally. Wilkins made her first appearance this season. Her voice, which is one of the very finest heard upon the stage, won for her great favor as usual. John B. Miller and his wife, who face, won out in good shape. Mr. Miller, who is one of the great exceptional buck dancers was at once recognized by the audience, and was also a good dancer, and both were interesting original talkers and singers.

Another Big Bill at the New Grand— Brown and Cochay Make Coke and Crosby Make Good. There was another big bill at the New York rand which pleaured to Crosby made their first bow at this house on Monday evening and fully demonstrat- er the ultimate and acceptable value as performers. The performers were headed by Innes and Ryan and wore lavish dresses being exceedingly clever as a comedienne. Smith & Walling set out of foolishness which seemed to please浸浸ers, fatters and company in "A Woman's Way," the lady as a comedy actress, being above the average. The Hanah's artistic roller skates on the bill. The last half of last week the comedians Comedy Fou, who gave much pleasure, and Lottie Grady, whose "Cirus attracted. Brown & Hodges, who returned to popular specialty, scored on their merits. The man act soon. The white performers were Edward Livingston and company in a good The Man Higher Up. The Daito-Preece Comedy team played a return date. Dave Payton's orchestra, which includes Frank Tate, t琴list; Tobe Brown, cornetist; Miles Harris, an art clarinetist; Nelson Kirkis, an art clarinetian, gave satisfaction. Mr. Bish, the electrician, must be commended for good lighting effects.

His latest compositions are "I Miss You, Dealer," written for Fanny Wise. "Theme of Love," written for Alice White, and the song, "When Noble Else Wants You You're Good Enough for Me." Benny Dunham, the composer, who is said to have plagiarized a song entitled Honey, How I Love to Sit and Look at You, how I Love to Sit and Look at You to the original, was given a hearing before Judge Newcomer in the criminal branch of the Municipal Court and found guilty with a heavy fine and three days' imprisonment. A similar simile song to Will Rossiter for $100, when filed for copyright the similar name of the song revealed no discrepancy.

Miss Taylor is a musician and a singer. Miss Taylor and mandolin was indeed marvelous. Her first number was a classic selection which took the house by storm. For an encore she played the cornet. She was forced to play the bass. She won her an encore. Jennie Taylor Little Rosa and baby Anna isruly one big hit. The Pekin Theater. The weather has been too warm for large theater crowds, and still the Pekin opened Monday night to a packed house. Mills and Tansel were the big number on the stage, and their friends made on a former visit accorded to their cption. They have not changed their act at all to speak of but Bille is as funny as ever, and that is "enuffed." While Miss Tansel is as attractive as ever, Miss Hocker sang a couple of good songs, and is having considerable trouble with her throat. The bill is a very pleasing one. Miss Emma.

O'Brien's famous Georgia Minstrels, is delighting the audiences nightly by doing all new and original death-defying tricks. Smith-Bowman, Chris and Elmer, are putting over some great songs—"The Snake," "I'm Glad You're Goin'," "That Puzzlin' Rag," "Beans, Beans, Beans," and "Gimme a Little Bit of Lovin'." These are the five hits of songville. All published by the F. B. Haviland Music Publishing Company, New York City. Charles White, of the team of White and White, met with a serious accident a few weeks ago at the Union Theater, Indianapolis. He shot himself in the hand while loading his revolver for his act. Happily it was a wad of paper else he might have lost some fingers. He is better after a lay-up of four weeks. Bessie Edington, the celebrated singing and dancing soubrette, is still with the Famous Troubadours. She is the talk of the town everywhere she appears. Her big song hits are "When I Woke Up This Morning He Was Gone," "If Some One Only Cared for Me," and she closes with a buck dance and waltz clog, of which too much cannot be said.

WHITMAN SISTERS DRAWING RECORD-BREAKING HOUSES AT LEXINGTON, KY. The Whitman Sisters, Mabel and Essie, and Toy Comedians opened the Gem Theater, Lexington, Ky., July 1. Undoubtedly the biggest drawing card and the highest salaried act ever playing this house. Mr. Bell, the man ager, was much pleased, indeed, with the work as well as the financial gain by employing this aggregation. But he had to replace new doors after the opening Monday night—such a crowd. ABOARD A. G. ALLEN'S PRIVATE CAR 999. P. L. Jenkins writes from Cape Girardeau, Mo.: Wm.

THE DIXIE THEATER, CHARLOTTE, N. C Anita Leanord, the little brown doll, is closing four successful weeks at the Dixie Theater. Anita has some very dainty little dresses which takes the eye of the house. Miss Leanord sings and dances most pleasing to all. Her movements are just graceful enough to make her a winner. Glad to say she has held her own for her face of smiles. Wiggins and Wiggins are here and their acts are big, no matter where they go, and they are able to hold their own. Jack (Ginger) Wiggins is a dancer, that's all—can't be beat. THE GEORGIA MERRYMAKERS. These players, under the direction of Foy Elliott, are en route on their summer tour through Minnesota and northern Wisconsin.

A musical program was arranged, refreshments served and a good time was enjoyed till the wee small hours of the morning. The Georgia Merrymakers' roster is as follows: Walter Hill, Wm. Wright, Sidney Williams, Lester McMahon, Jackson and Franklin, Rebecca Belland, Estay Gray, Mrs. McMahon, Mrs. Cuther, Dodson the Georgia Pick, and Foy Elliott, manager. F. X.

THE BEAUTIFUL DUNBAR THEATER, COLUMBUS, O The Dunbar, the most beautiful colored theater in the country, opened with first-class vaudeville and pictures July 8th, after being closed for remodeling to the extent of $5,000, which makes the entire cost over $30,000. The bill was a great one. Miss Fannie Wise, of the Red Moon fame, pleased immensely, her songs were all gems, and the Bleeding Moon had to be sang over by her at every performance. Her other songs, Sweetie Dear and Pretty Little Pansy Brown, were both beautifully sang, Too much praise cannot be given this little lady for her work and wardrobe, Kelly and Davis were one big riot from start to finish, with their new and original act, full of life and ginger. Their talking and singing were great and the dancing—oh, man! you have to see them yourself. This week's bill includes Chas. Glispen in Uncle Remus at the Race Track, and Delaney and Humphrys, singing comedians. NOTES FROM 101 RANCH REAL WILD WEST. Well we are at last in the good old U. S. A. after a most successful season of about four weeks in the Dominion of Canada. There was a number of the boys who declared themselves British subjects on going into Canada, but before we come out they were quite ready to take up arms for the good old Stars and Stripes. Ask Rawles and Farrell. Prof. Allen, our inside man, is the best man for the place in the business, so all the boys say. Mrs. Cynners' birthday was remembered by all the side show. She was the recipient of several useful and valuable presents; among the many was a beautiful Canadian emblem brooch pin given by the side show bard. Prof. Rawles' birthday was also celebrated by the anex band on the 28th inst., by giving him a set of solid gold cuff buttons and a scarf pin with his initials engraved on them. It took the old fellow by surprise and when L. K. Baker made the presentation speech he actually blushed like a school boy. When he found his voice he declared it his treat and was as good as his word. The boys all wished him many more happy birthdays. Alex Parker, our orchestra leader, is toning the boys under him down so that he has a bunch that is a credit to any show. Everyone has been exceptionally well this season and all join in regards to friends in and out of the profession, especially P. G. Lowery and bunch with Hagenbeck and Wallace; W. L. Horne and bunch with Young Buffalo Wild West, and the Yankey Robinson bunch; also Howes' Great London and Sells F. Coto. (DOC) SAM FORD. PEKIN THEATER, CINCINNATI, O Winn and Nugent were the big noise at the Pekin during the week of the 8th. This is the second engagement of this team and they are more popular than Miss Jenkins. Miss Jenkins had several good numbers with her eccentric buck and wing dancing, while Joe Winn has a good voice and does some dancing himself. The house had a good week. Miss Jenkins had several good numbers, which made an excellent hour's entertainment. Miss Emma Thornton is attracting unusual attention at the matinees. and Tansil will be the attraction at the Pekin during the week of the 15th. NOTES FROM THE DANDY DIXIE MINSTRELS. NOTES FROM GOLLMAR BROS. ANNEX BAND. Prof. Jas. A. Harris is leader and manager of the band. The band is doing fine and our minstrel show is making jokes. He hits the band with jokes. Jas. Jackson, the funny comedian, is making quite a success singing You Are Going to Get Something That You Need. He cleans up with his song, "I'm Going Back to Dixie." Tommie Bright, our trombone player, is singing "Td Rather Run." Tommie Bright, our Run." Ulysses Douglass makes a hit with his song, "If Every Star Were a Little Pickannin' Chas. F. Brown is a follower. Tommie Bright the band is as follows: Prof. Jas. A. Harris trombone; Tommie Bright, second trombone; Wm. Carr, cornet, Billy Bright, cornet; Buddy James, baritone; Ulysses Henry Young, bass drum; Jas. J Jackson, snare drum. Mr. Aranson, our side-show manager, is a prince and packs up.

THE FREEMAN, AN \LLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER FISHER & SIMMONS THE FAY DAY DERBY THE FAY DAY DERBY Now Playing Crown Garden Theatre, Indianapolis, weeks July 22 and 29 THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON. By Ar-W-Tee. The Griffin Sisters are the toopliners of a big bill at the Howard this week. George Sandifer, the singing comedian, made famous for his rendition of "Take Me With You When You Go," is the "card" at the Foraker this week. Managers Green and Payne are using their airdome now and have big crowds every night. "Those Ginger Girls," Effie King and Lottie Gee, are putting in a six weeks' engagement at Kearney's popular Fairy Tale, Friends of all over town are flocking there to see the unique acts they are offering. Their inexhaustible repertoire of songs, versatility of talents, elaborate wardrobe and capacity for hard work enable these to so often that they can remain here for an indefinite period without wearing out their welcome. At the conclusion of their engagement with Manager Kearney, Misses King and Gee will put in at the town theater, the Dudley or the Howard They are fond of Washington, and often refer to this city as their "home." S. H. Dudley now has a good working circuit of vaudeville houses, and is out of the city scouting for more desirable new houses. He purchased outright the Lyric at Newport News, Va., and the name of the house hereafter will be the S. H. Dudley theater. The Globe at Norfolk, a, and the Atlantic at Ripon, the house he added to the Dudley circuit, and a working agreement has been made whereby the Dudley artists will have dates at the Blue House and Baltimore and the Circle and Auditorium in Philadelphia. An invasion of the West will be undertaken before the beginning of Mr. Dudley's regular theatrical season on the road. Miss Elnora Wilson, White and Robinson and George Stamper have given satisfaction during the current season. Packed houses have been the rule niglyt. Low Houses is smiling broadly. Word comes that J. Leubrie Hill and Miss Evan Robinson of this city, have entered upon the joyous sea of matrimony. S. Tutt Whitney's Southern Smart Set in a revised version of "The Mayor of New Town," is to rehearse here on the Howard stage in August. It was an agreeable surprise to meet James White last week at the Dudley. He is doing a catchy turn with Erb Robinson, and besides putting over some new songs, he is playing a cornet with Mr. Robinson's trombone, and making good with a lot of original comedy stunts, and blushes with modesty when the writer asserts that the Hoosier capital has contributed more bright lights to the American stage than any other artist, and was for a number of years identified with the famous "Whang-doodle" troupe playing only the au fait houses. Counsellor J. Frank Wheaton, who come over from Baltimore last Saturday, says Manager Nibur, formerly of the Crescent, City of Cincinnati, at the corner of Lenox avenue and 132nd street that will go far toward solving the colored amusement problem in the metropolis. The new theater is 60 feet tall in all its appa- ses, and will seat about 1,800 people. The name, yet to be selected, is to be a simple, yet appropriate one. They say Black Patti is to use in the Jungles" again next season. Shades of Methusalah! George Stamping, formerly with Miss Bragg, is working alone. Marjorie Lorraine, Emma Wilson and Florence McCauley are toured by the critics as three of the cleverest and daintiest soubrets in the profession. The C. V. B. A. Gambol is announced for an early date here. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis and Mme. Nannie Bailey Hardy are still working hits. The team they will make Hatti and Cuba before returning to the United States. S. H. Dudley will farewell next season on the Southern circuit, using "Dr. Beans", his biggest success. Sam Lucas has a flattering offer to appear in a grand revival of "Uncle Tom's Cabin", assuming his great role of Uncle Tom. Dramatic playlets, true to fine characters, with strong, emotional climaxes, are in demand by the wideawake managers of high-class colored houses. The playwright who can turn out a job lot of these sketches has a fortune within his grasp. Comedy artists who must depend upon grotesque make-ups and dancing for their offices are being advised to learn the art of dancing, the act of bill in towns where their regular act cannot be given on the Sabbath. In some cities it might be best for the managers to cut the vaudeville entitlement, but might and perhaps a bona fide sacred concert, with photo plays in harmony with the spirit of the day. Think over this, brethren! Frank Montgomery and his Dixie Players are at Daly's in Baltimore. J. H. Hochnail is making Dabney's theater a go, and can also make a tele of steady patrons. Lulu Cooper is doing a creditable song and dance turn this week. There are two "Bessie Browns" in vaudeville, and both are male impersonators in connection with various other changes. The former Louisville girl of Bessie Oliver is known in the future as Bessie Oliver. NOTES FROM RINGLING BROS.! CIRCUS ANNEX. Our show is made up of the following: 1.

Chapman is the beautiful word artist of our No. 2 side show. The Freeman has by its good reading and the work of our agent, P. A.

Mr. Robert Whitney and wife are still in charge of the Ringling private car, which is highly entertained by their many friends. They send regards to all in and out of the profession. Mr. Chapman sends regards to Prof. P. G. Lowery and Prof. Pope. In each and every city Prof. Pope is highly praised for having the best band of its size ever travelling with a circus—twelve men in all—both in appearance and in mood. Pope is very nice, indeed, if some of our other colored band leaders would drop that old "Befo" De Wah" dope and advance as the world does; and they would find the Olay will appreciate it much more. If you are a performer, go into vaudeville or with an opera show. Band leaders, like the Olay, areducers and stage managers' business alone, and try and help the world forget forty-five years ago. All the vaudeville sends regards to all. All the boys from Indiamapolis send regards, especially to Prof. John M. Powell. Prof. Pope sends regards to Prof. Lowery and Prof. Wolfscales.

WER ha maka dt an® hitesaae how 4s the workmen -were plying their jammers and putting on the finishing foaches at the arena, Las Vegas, N. ¥ july ath, other ‘workmen were similarly engaged in Chicago, hurry- nz and scurrying, making ready for the great “I Am” at his palatial cafe gud drinkery, the Cafe De Champion, tien ie shall have returned to Chi- {ago from the scene of his latest vie- for, He planned with confidence, feeling certain of what would happen at Las Vegas, and that the crown of the triumph would be this splendid establishment, the praise of which would be on the lips of all men, Evi- dently he did not reckon with defeat, knowing that a seat in the public faze would be no place for a defeated jock Johnson. He built with assur- ince of coming into his own, and as it hes been proven, stepped in it with the rezalty of @ most puissant prince of high repute, From all accounts Jack has opened up a palace de splendor. He has done nothing by halves. He has made big money and spends it like a lord. But at that, he throws nothing away. He spends to support his views of life, heightened, of course, by association and prosperity. He has bobnobbed vith the big ones on the other side, with the titled set who have no con- science is money matters. He has something of the habit. The very Negro nature cries out for the great splendid things as the desert yearns for the rain; and John- son stands for the idea at its best. He has wrested the key from the iand of adversity—the open sesame to that enchantment, to where the world is trending; the road to where, being infested with the bones of the uckless travelers who have fainted and fallen. In other words, the “yellow boys’—zold—have been trained in his direction, and he “sho” does make it do princely duty. Bee The Cate De Champion cost Jack a “pretty penny,” but it is according to his liking and it is according to the liking of his prospective patrons. Some say that the small man will find himself in the way there. Carey B. lewis, the Chicago correspondent of The Freeman, thinks it will be a place for the big “uns” only. This looks true when the headwaiter comes to duty in a red limousine, looking ke an American embassy at a state function at a foreign court. But after all, it is style and dash that appeals. All seem to like it— those that have and those that, have rot. And if Johnson is not a social democrat, he will have to become one it he does the very best for himself in business. It is very likely that the ordinary citizen will find his money ong enough to buy something at the Cafe De Champion. It fs said that the pictures on the Wall stand for $15,000. They may be good ones. But it is my opinion that Johnson is not quite so foolish as that. Johnson wouldn't mind putting that amount into something he could soak at the “three balls” men, or per- haps in good furniture, where there’s a chance for a rebate in the case of a financial stringency, but never in your Perishable canvasses and which could fy like your Mona Lisa without sign or hint of their whither. Who would imow the difference between a $1,500 and a $15,000 painting, anyhow? A precious few. Mr, Johnson is not go- ing to tie up so much money in doubt- ful propositions. Then, besides, pic- tures are valuable as we think’ they are.

Rather high for mere spitting, but they are great show pieces. Everybody else has just brass ones; so it was quite the thing to put it over the other boys in the business. With everything ac- cordingly grand it may be safely set down that there are not many places that eclipse the Cafe De Champion. ‘Will he make it go? Already there is much speculation about the success of Johnson's venture. White men and colored men are interested in a way, and have similar views as to the final outcome. Some say that after a while it will take its place, won by ingenu- ity and enterprise, rather than a place as now noted, won by the Johnson name. Some seeni to think that in due time the flag of the auctioneer will flutter about and presto! change! Exit Cafe De Champion. However, at this time, Jack’s place is the best advertised in the country, The French used to say Earth has no other land like France; no,country a city like Paris; See Paris, then die. In other words, one was unfitted to pass to the unknown until he had seen Paris. It will be soon said of Jack Johnson's place in Chicago that your visit to the City of the Lake will not be complete until you see the Cafe De Champion. This means Jack thrown in. For what would the cafe be without Mr. Jack? And for that very reason the place will not go down as others have done after the novelty has worn away. As long as Johnson remains champion, I am here to say that the “yellow boys” will flow to him un- ceasingly. When he loses out he has lost his only asset as a money maker, ‘Today, anything he touches will turn to gold, tomorrow in event of defeat, none would be so poor as to do him reverence, So come day or go day, every day is Sunday with Jack Johm son and will still be so until he Is a tottering wreck of his former physi- cal self, and hence unable longer to defend his title against those that as- sault him. All Chicago thundered at his doors the opening evening. Only a propor- tionate few, however, could be accom- modated. Good things that cheer, but not enough to inebriate, were | dis- pensed with a Johnsonian lavish. From champagne on down sped around the liquid joys, interspersed with the more substantial by way of sandwiches (the unpoetical things), and eagerly partaken of because it was the first time the champ had come across to the ordinary people— they went to his free doin’s with avid- ity—'tis said. But it stands to reason that Jack will not be out anything by the gratuitous proceedings of his opening evening. It was a good invest- ment. Billy McClain, the globe _trotter, has finally reached his original port, Indianapolis, which he left about 11 years ago. During the better part of the time The Freeman has kept tab on him. But in the more recent years it has been my duty and also my pleasure, I am pleased to say, to keep a fairly faithful record of his move- ments. Those who have kept pace will remember the long and enviable trips he has taken, also the distant lands he visited or touched on. Some time ago I gave a resume of his travels, con- sequently it is not necessary to do so again, even if I had time and the in- clination. I spoke of him a few weeks ago, of his arrival in California. And for fear it may be thought that The Freeman only is interested, I quote now a por- tion of the more than column of men- tion of him in the Pacific Times, San Francisco and Oakland, issue of June 28th: “Yes, Billy is here! Just arrived from the Antipodes, looking as well as man can look—arrayed in the latest Antipodean fashion, and don’t forget, he still wears a few of those light- giving rocks. Well, if you are getting anxious to know who is this Billy I am speaking of, it is Billy McLean. Ever heard of him? I should say so. “He s the famous pioneer in Negro theatricals, world-renowned minstrel and musical comedy artist, confrere of the late Ernest Hogan, late ballet master of the famous Drury Lane ‘Theater, London, England—a theater famous in history as the place where Shakespeare staged his own plays and which was the resort of famous men as Johnson, Goldsmith, Milton and Burke, and where David Garrick staged Goldsmith's Vicar of Wake- field. Such a man is Billy McLean, a Negro whose name is as well known in Brussels and Paris as it is known in Indianapolis, the city of his birth. “Mr. MeLean arrived in San Fran- cisco a few days ago from Sydney, Australia; but with one stop at the Tahiti Island, his trip was direct.” ‘The publication tells of his experi- ence with the natives, the same as seen in these columns, Mr. McClain having forwarded the account to the Freeman some time ago. ‘The article continues as follows: “Billy declares that, being the first and only Negro promoter of any note in the world today, it devolved upon him to show his mettle and this he has demonstrated. He has shown that he is not only capable on the stage as a singer and dancer, but as a manager ‘of boxers of world-wide fame. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. amount to bind the agreement can’ meet McVey at any of the places named. “He intends to claim the champion- ship for McVey should Johnson win and retire, because he feels that Flynn win there will hardly be the chance of another colored man be- coming champion, as Flynn may re- fuse to fight another. He thinks that MeVey is entitled to the championship and said of Sam that he is an unas- suming, careful living man, and will be boxing when many of the present @ay boxers are out of commission, and to show his faith in his man he made the trip of 16,000 miles to secure a chance for his candidate.” On reaching Princeton, Ind., the other day he carried everything be- fore him. His mother lives there and his family acquaintances. And to show that Billy is honored in his own coun- try I submit a portion of a two-col- umn comment in the Clarion News, of that city. It says: “Billy McClain, well known old Princeton ‘boy, who long ago gained world-wide fame as a colored minstrel and later as a prize fight manager, to- day told the Clarion-News he is tired of knocking about the world, and next week will go to Indianapolis to make his permanent home, taking with him his mother, Mrs. Maggie McClain, and his sisters and other members of the family. “Billy, as he is familiarly known to his old ‘Princeton friends, both black and white, arrived home last Saturday after an absence of twenty years, coming here direct from the Johnson- Flynn fight at East Las Vegas, N. M. His visit was expected by his mother, Mrs. Maggie McClain, of North Gibson street, but the meeting between moth- er and‘son was none the less affect- ing, For eleven years Mr. McClain had been out of this country, going to England as a minstrel in 1901. Later he took up the fight game, and as trainer, referee and manager of vari- ous pugilists, he remained in Europe until about a year ago, when he went to Australia. In Australia Billy was very successful, and it was there that he decided he had accumulated enough on the road and that it was time to settle down, He sent his moth- er a gift of about $1,800, and now he is here to buy her a home in Indian- apolis, and to establish all the mem- bers of the family in good cireum- stances in that city. He is a thorough and practical business man and_his plans for the future are all carefully laid. ““T have seen too many of the brightest people of the stage and the prize ring, and in other professions, too, laid to rest by charity, after ca- reers of big money-making and living it up, and I decided there would be none of that for Billy,’ he said. ‘T have enough by careful management to get through on, and I'm going to stay with mother now,’” cae Billy was strongly featured the week of his arrival in Princeton. Here follows, as seen from another angle of observation: “The return of the world’s famous Billy McClain after an absence of 20 years to see his mother and friends, attend the colored Baptist church and Usten to Rev. Wardell's sermon on “Mother's Son,” so impressed the old- er members who knew Billy that they were moved to tears and joy. After the sermon Rev. Wardell insisted on Billy addressing the church, leading him by the hand to the altar. His mother, seeing her son being led to the altar, noded her head, disapprov- ing of the ovation, thinking he would say something about Jack Johnson and other things in general he had been connected with, but when Billy finished they found out that he knew the Bible and church the same as they did, and he would have made a suc- cess as a minister the same as he has as an artist and manager, had he so set his mind to do so. He was warmly congratulated and brothers and sisters kissed him. Rev. Charles Hopkins threw his arms around Billy, kissed him and said: ‘He is one of us. ‘We went to school together, played to- gether, and he has that same boyish face and congenial smile.’ “Rev. Allen, of the M. E. church, spoke to his people and told them ‘if all mothers had sons like Billy what a great and glorious world it would be.” “In one sentence alone is enough to fill volumes, when Billy said, ‘I don't worry about myself, so long as I can keep my mother right, I am right, and if I did not have a mother I would am domed to care for others and can’t do anything for myself unless I do for look after some one else's mother. I others. I love my people, and oh, if they could read my thoughts and I could instill in their minds what T know and went through they would be a nation in the next generation hat would take a bit of rubbing out. If experience accounts for anything Thave had it, if action is reality, then I have been through it, and as your good Pastor Wardell said, “you are afraid to going into debt, afraid to take a chance, let your roof rot down ‘on you before you make an attempt to repair it.” So it is too much in every branch of life with my people. I sat in this church 35 years ago and lis- tened to Rev. Clay with my mother, ‘and here today I see some well known and if I can do you any good or any- one else without materially interfer- ing with my own welfare I am ready and willing at all times to do it.” Billy is in Indianapolis this week, BIG SMOKE PINCHED. Champion Again in Trouble With Authorities. CHICAGO.—Jack Johnson, cham. pion pugilist, who with his wife, was recently indicted by the federal grand jury on.a charge of smuggling a dia- mond necklace into this country, was arrested recently, charged with striking and intimidating Charles Brown, a Negro chauffeur, one of the government's principal witnesses in the case. Brown was formerly employed by Johnson as a chauffeur. He is five feet in height and slightly built. When Brown entered the pugilist’s cafe Johnson asked him what he told the grand jury about the diamond necklace, and when the witness de clined to tell him the pugilist is al- leged to have struck Brown a blow in the face. Johnson was arraigned before Unit- ed States Commissioner Charles A. Buell, and the hearing was continued until tomorrow morning, after he had furnished a bond for $5,000. Johnson denied having assaulted Brown and explained that when the chauffeur came to his place he ordered him out. When Brown refused to leave Jobn- son declares one of his friends pushed him out. THE WAY OTHERS SEE IT. Calls Johnson's Place a Booze Shop— Lena Does the Turkey Trot. CHICAGO—Jack Johnson is today an honest-to-goodness saloon keeper or, as they say in Chicago, owner of a “cafe.” Located in the heart of the black belt, the streets around the champion’s resort were literally black with people last night at the formal opening. There are said to be 120,000 Negroes. in Chicago and a large mi- nority of the total visited the new cafe on the opening night. The champion, fresh from Las Vegas, personally did the honors, It was an occasion of some “eclat.” The champ said so himself as he beamed at the mosaic tiled floored grillroom which held 400 _ persons, while there were seats for 208. Then he trotted upstairs to the Pompelian room and estimated the receipts. Outside the doors 5,000 persons bat. tled with six policemen in a wild en- deavor to gain entrance to one of the three drink dispensing parlors of the place; but they battled vainly. Those Inside were bound to stay until either their money or the lights gave out. | Owing to the audience cabaretting down the aisles the promised cabaret show was abandoned. Lena Leaner, the Southern “oriole,” however, made the audience stand on the chairs when she sang “All Night Long,” accompanied by a “modified” turkey trot, modified being placed in quotation marks so the police won't recognize the dance. Mrs. Tiny Johnson, Jack's mother, beat herself on the chest and pro- claimed that it was the proudest night in her life, “Lil” Artha, nephew of the cham- pion, was busier than his uncle in re- ceiving congratulations. Jack Johnson, plainly outshone by the head waiter in regard to dress, sat at a side table. He wore a modest white and brown striped suit, a white shirt and a brown bow tie. He drank champagne. A JOYOUS TIME. Jack Johnson's Cafe a Reality—Thou ‘sands Failed to Get In. It should have been champagne, but it was beer—nevertheless, the initial opening of Jack Johnson’s Cafe De Champion, 41 West Thirty-first street, last night’ was as wild an opening as could have been witnessed had Louis Martin himself established a Chicago restaurant, It was an occasion of some “eclat,” the champion said so himself, as he beamed at the mosaic tile floored grill room which held 400 persons, while there were seats for 208. Then he trotted upstairs to the Pompeiian room and estimated the receipts. Outside the doors 5,000 persons bat: ‘tled with six police in a wild endeavor to gain entrance to one of the three drink-dispensing parlors of the place; but they battled vainly. Those inside were bound to stay until either their money or the lights gave out. _ Three thousand bottles of beer, 500 bottles of champagne, two Russian ca- viar sandwiches, one order of ham and ‘eggs over anda piece of apple pie, ‘that is the estimate upon the even- ing's merriment made by Henry Ster- ‘itt, the manager. "The opening was scheduled for 9 o'clock, Two hours before that time the street in front was thronged. At 9:10 the carpenters nailed the last board in place. At 9:25 George Rey- nolds, the heat waiter, drove up in his searlet limousine. He was attired in full evening dress and wore white kid gloves. It was 9:45 when the champion himself sputtered to the door in his racer and was pushed. dragged and knocked through the crowd. At 9:47 he uplifted his right hand. “Let her go,” he said to the orchestra, and the most historic event of “Lil Artha’s "life since he captured the belt was written, An air from “La Paloma” was the orchestra leader’s selection. It was fol- lowed later by the “Baccarole” from “Tales of Hoffman.” The crowd surged in until the doors were closed. Owing to the audience cabaretting down the aisles the promised cabaret show was abandoned. Lena Leanor, the Southern “oriole,” however, made the audience stand on the chairs when she sang, “All Night Long,” accompanied by a “modified” turkey trot (modified being placed in quotation marks so the police won't recognize the dance).

Special to The Freeman: ‘The All Stars, of Owensboro, Ky., was visited by the Quapaws, of Little Rock, Ark., playing three games, The first game was played June 30, the Quapaws shutting out the All Stars 2 tg 0. This, however, made the famous southpaw Letcher, of the All Stars, mad, and he came back kith blood in his eyes and handed the Quapaws a no hit game, shutting them out 3 to 0. ‘Then, of course, both teams were lik- ing each other, the All Stars getting the Quapaws to remain over for the 4th of July. eW ,lleverybody on both teams was winning. So they. would say. ‘The last game of the series was start- ed with the Quapaws beginning to get eggs. The All Stars received a few eggs, the first score being made by the Quapaws. Then the Stars made one. Well, everybody began eating eggs again. The Quapaws scored their sec- ond score in the third inning and the All Stars scored in the third inning. Well, to make it short, Letcher brought the bacon home in the ninth inning just as Jack Johnson brought his bacon home in the ninth round. RETURNS WITH STAKE. McClain, Indiana Negro, Successful as Promoter. x PRINCETON, Ind—Billy McClain, until recently manager of Sam McVey, the California Negro, has arrived at his old home here for the first time in twenty years, having reached the Unit ed States recently after eleven years in foreign lands. He came here from Australia, and en route home took in the Johnson-Flynn bout. McClain, who is a fight trainer and manager, and who has handled both Sem Langford and Sam MeVey, thinks the Pueblo man would have had a good chance with Johnson if he had only been trained to take the defensive instead of being the aggressor and putting himself at Johnson's mercy, McClain thinks McVey will give Johnson a good fight and has a chance, but he regards Langford as too light for the big man. Billy McClain for years was known as a king of Negro minstrelsy, but in England a few years ago he took up the business side of pugilism and has since folowed it. He has laid up a stake, however, and is now going to retire and settle in Indianapolis as a theater manager. He will take his mother and others of the family there and has provided for all of them. A few months ago he sent his mother, Mrs. Maggie McClain, of this’ city, $1,400 in cash to put her on “Hasy street.” White people and colored peo- ple alike greeted him royally on his arrival home.
