HAPTILY ATTESTED EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION AT WASHINGTON Changes in the Public Schools—Roscoe Cookling Bruce's Administrative Ability in Evidence—Dr. Shepard's Plaus —Aita Patti Brown Coming. By R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 23 — The personal popularity of President Taft with the colored citizens of the land was never more happily attested than at tonight's session of the National Emancipation Commemorative Society, celebrating the fifth anniversary of the issuance of the emancipation proclamation of Abraham Lincoln. Newtownshandtown, the inclementity of the day, the Metropolitan M. A. E. church was crowded to the doors with an audience that represented the best thought and most productive activities of the Necess of the country, and they gave the best response to the inclementity of the time he entered with Major Rhoads, his aid, to the time of his departure. His admirable address was applauded to the core of the nation, being great with authority and tenacity of the great. The counsel under the direction of Prof. John T. Layton, song "The Star Spangled Banner" as the President took his place on the stage, the audience joining in, and it closes, the Chantanqua salute was given with a will. Taft Lauds Humane Work of Lincoln President Taft praised without stint the benevolence of Abraham Lincoln for the cause of liberty. He regarded the emancipation of the slaves and the abolition of the system from the nation's power, and he recognized the triumph of American士士manship. Lincoln was not only an enemy to slavery, but handled his cause with masterly diligence, striking it down at a time when the nation was in a state of civil war, justified before the critics of the world, and secure support that under other circumstances might have been withheld. He also handled his own way, refusing to be burdened by the need to support the slave sympathizers on the other. Lincoln declared the President, gave to the nation substantial veomany that has been withheld, and has given such a good account of his showing that he is the preeminent and grandest nation under the sun. Lincoln gave the black man an opportunity to rise, and in his fifty years his slave has been vindicated beyond the bounds of the slave's story has made such a miraculous showing that he is the most important, proving that equality of opportunity is the right and need of every people. The white man has helped and deserves the largest measure of credit, for his efforts listed the lion's share of his uplift by his own efforts—his own love of knowledge, comprehension of the saving power of the slave and economy, unfailing faith in God, and his ability to make the lot of his children brighter in his own. The sensible Negro has the sensible job is the best help, and he is solving his problem along that route. The wonderful successes scored indicate that the best goal is possible of attainment. Perhaps the chief glory of the Negro's career in this country is his advancement in the job, said the President. "Fifty years ago we said the President, "If you practice in importance of all that books outlaw. Nearly 100 per cent. were ill-trained. Today the big total of illiteracy has been reduced to 80 per cent, a showing of which many people well feel proud—a record which you do to celebrate here tonight. I rejoice with you in this signal hour, and bespeak for you the triumph that even the most opusistic of writers at this time. No race that has come through the valley, as you have done, has been the mountains of opposition as has been the ourselves capable of doing can fall in the thousands of all who aspire to better things." President Taft was in excellent voice and his spirit was never more genial. He wisdomly, earnestly and sympathetically wielded the effort to patriotize his audience or to patriotize his hospital. His nerves saw the real Taft tonight, and he demonstrated that they liked him. Prof Jesse Lawson, president of the National Enamulation Commemorative Society presided, and introduced the President in a masterly speech, commend him as an unheralded broad-minded and patriotic tribune. He was one of the highest welfare of the nation, which had intrusted to him the secreth of the establishment. Other able addresses during the event were the Miller, of Howard University; Rev E. M. Church, pastor of Metropolitan A. M. Church; and Miss Eina Gordon and the Metropolitan church. The Emancipation Celebration. Sunday encyclopedia celebration began M. E. Johnson at the Metropolitan A.

Wednesday comes and commercial display. Wednesday comes and congress of Colored Business at the N.Y.

Great credit is due Prof. Jesse for her conception and the well-ordered working life. The bration have culminated in an observance that shall stand as a model of dignified, constructed, inspiring recognition of a that means inspiring recognition of the 12,000 Negroes on this continent. The Public Schools Open. The public schools opened Monday with a large attendance, estimated at about 4000 colored pupils in the common, high and middle schools, and colored schools are under the supervision. The superintendent Roscoe Conkling Bruce, a graduate of Harvard College, and a young man of great force of character and intelligence, has been years he has been in charge of the schools he has given repeated evidences of his capacity as an administrator of the first improvements have been made in all department plans of study and in physical equipment. The business department, which has gone to substantial proportions, has been treated with special care by the Arnstrong manual training school to that of the M street high school, and W. M street, replaces G. H. Murray, principal of M street, replaces G. H. Murray, principal of head of the business section. The business department will continue to be carried on in the Phelps building, on Vermont avenue. The board of education is made up of nine citizens, three colored and six white. The nine citizens are usually women. The declaration of the board is the Court of Justice as a member of the board leaves one vacancy in the colored allotment. This vacancy be filled early in October by a judge. The Court of District of Columbia, lt. the poorest power is entrusted. There are seven very capable men under consideration, who have been sustained by the sober judgment of the board. The trust on every occasion where a controversy has arisen touching its general policies. The present colored members of the board are R. Morner and Mrs. Carrie Wilder a Hriss. Numerous transfers and consolidations have been ordered, and the wave of economic uptick new appointments down to a minimum. That several appointments will have to be made, if the attendance continues at its rank and file of the colored citizens, has the influence in the Bruce administration, and will stand by the assistant superintendent, with recommendations, believing that he has always at heart the best interests of the schools and the whole people. Back from the B. M. C. The District clans are back from the Atlanta meeting of the B. M. C., telling Arthur tales as to what happened there. Arthur was transacted before the fateful election, and it is thought that the affairs of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows are shaped to go through the next two years, and that the meeting will be held in Boston in 1914.uty Grand Master Henry Lincoln Johnson and Associate Justice W. L. Houston take an optimistic view of the situation. Arthur will go together as some of the leaders had hoped, but they relove that the order withstood the trial and that no split is seriously contemplated. Editor H. P. Slaughter is with the group, with the part he played in the exciting trial. The present officers will retain their places until 1914, the Supreme Court included. Mme. Anita Patti Brown Coming Mme. Anita Patti Brown, admitted to be the race's foremost coloratura soprano, was born in bright particular star of an autumn musical festival in the giving time, projected by that versatile genius, Miss Lulu Vale Childers, director of music at Howard University.

True Reformers at Work The Washington Division of the United Order of True Reformers is doing its part in the work of rehabilitating the ordeal of the local division, headed a large delegation of True Reformers, who left Monday to attend the annual convention of the Grand Fountain in Washington, at the time that during the year death benefits have been paid to the amount of $22,692.57. A few evenings ago, Mrs. Lewis was rendered a royal reverence by the citizens of honor of her appointment, in which the citizens at large joined most heartily. The installation ceremonies were in charge of a committee, headed by Miss Mimie Berk-Chaplain and Mrs. M. L. S. Matthias secretary. Mrs. Mary Church Terrell, Afro-American's platform queen, had an excellent article in the current issue of the Progressive Age, Omaha, Neb., on "The Justice of Woman Suffrage." Mrs. Terrell is the race's longest expenence and has succeeded in converting scores of the most pronounced antagonists of "votes for women." Dr. James E. Shepard has been touring Maine and New Hampshire in the interest of the National Religious Training school at Durham, N.

BULL MOOSE MEETING A HAND FULL OF NEGRO BOLTERS CONFER IN CHICAGO MEDIL McCORMICK FURNISHES THE DOE George W. Ellis Presided and Made a Great Speech Relative to the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, which Means Disfranchisement for Negroes. By Phil H. Brown. Chicago, Ill., Sept. 26. Hark! Hark! The dogs do bark! The Moosers have come to town. Some in rags and some in tags With due and profound apologies to that fairy godmother of the nursery, Old Mother Goose, for our feeble paraphrasing of her rhyme, we arise to announce that the loudly heralded Brindle Bull Moose conference has come and gone, and events in history have moved forward to admit one more stirring epoch. The cryptic portals of the La Salle Hotel verteber and reverberate with echoes of the forensic pyrotechnics and the circumambient atmosphere is mellow with the odors of the commissary. Verily, the story reads like a romance. Truth is stronger than fiction. At the headquarters of the colored Bull Moosers all was bustle and confusion. Telegraph boys went, but few of them came bearing messages that were sent hefterskeler throughout the land asking for a conference of the Brindle Bull Moosers to meet in Chicago last Saturday. The responses were recalcitrant. A council of war was held within the inner circle of the Bull Moose holy of holies. Moose Beaureagard Moseley, who is a brilliant gentleman and a first-class fighting man, was present, as was Chief Brindle Bull Moose George W. Ellis, equally a gentleman of excellent components; Moose James H. Hayes, of Richmond, who came to see that it was well done, and other stars of lesser magnitude. Mr. Ellis feared that the conference would be a fizzle and pined for the cooperation of Mr. Mosley, who vouchafsed to him only meager comfort, inasmuch as he was of the opinion that the conference would have the effect to display the weakness of the cause to the enemy, not to mention the white Moose friends, who were pervaded by great expectations. At this critical juncture the kindly offices of Joseph Medill McCormick were invoked, and, with characteristic generosity, the wires and assured the skittish Moose of the States that if they should come hence, he would see that the coin of the realm would be forthcoming to offset the expense and other disabilities of their com- Accordingly, at the appointed hour, eighteen Moosers, ten of whom were from Chicago and vicinity, assembled in profound conclave. Moose Ellis occupied chair with great dignity. In dulce tone he explained that Objective meeting. We did not hear his speech, but are persuaded that they had assembled for the purpose of the extension of the initiative, referendum and recall, into the Northern States, and to discount and discard their brothers at the South. They were jealous of the Southern Nebraska, and obtained that institution and disfranchisement, and were now going to have disfranchisement of their own and under their own vine, and fig tree. The great scion of praxamism, he was Moose and promised them this boom. Magnus and his initiative, Referendum and Recall, and what he promised he assuredly gave. He had promised to disgrace the Negro soldier at Brownsville, and had kept his promise to own the gamut of the Bull Moose ritual. battle hymn of the Brindle Bull Moosers, which runs, "John Brown's body lies mouldering in the clay," he said. Abraham Lahavon has surely had his day. We are ready for disfranchisement, and you, beget. We'll have no. you bet we here to stay. While the Moose goes marching on," the Brindle Bull Moose conference adjourned sine die.

U. 6. 0. F., America, came to a close Saturday morning at ‘4:30 o'clock, amid confusion and contention for the supreim- acy of the order, Never before in the history of the order was there so much bickering, dissatisfaction and lack of harmony’ during an election. When the name of Grand Master i, H, Morris was presented the delegates from the various Saates marched up and down the hall frantically yelling and carrying banners. It was done to stampede the convention, Dut this failed, “It was thought by the majority of delegates that Colonel Mor- tis would not run, and ahat the name of Mr. B. J. Davis would be the only one presented for grand master of the order. Notwithstanding the fact that Grand Master E. H, Morris stated in his bien- nial address, “There would never be a time when iisunion would come to. the lodges and that the letters of fire are Dkizing over the gates leading to the temple of Friendship, Love and Truth,” yet the scenes on that morning made his address seem just the reverse, for when he refused to have the roll of Georgia's delegates called, disunion, turmoil and pandemonium reigned supreme. After the session had gone on smoothly for five days, the election of the officers was the cause of the convention adjourn- ing “‘sine dic." It came about this way: Morris was nominated and so was Davis. Deputy Grand Master Henry Lincolr Johnson took the gavel. States were called. And when it came to Georgia, Morris took the gavel and refused to let Georgia cast her vote by the chairmar of ahe Georgia delegation, or even te hear the name of ,each delegate called from the Georgia roll. From every ob- servation it was seen that Mr. Davis had the vast majority of votes from his own state and several Southern states were pledged to him and votes elsewhere, but Grand Master Morris refused to heat the roll called, and finally decided that the honor was big enough for him for the next two years, and adjourned the con- vention “sine die.” ‘The delegates sat in the hall from 10 o'clock in the night unail 4:30 the next morning. ‘They amused themselves by singing, marching and reciting. ~ Some went out for lunch, and others had lunch sent to them. Every now and then some delegate would yell vociferously, “Koll call!” . Again and again conferences were held to harmonize things, but the “old warrior stood pat.” With ‘the adjournment the Same mien will hold office until the meet- ing the next two years, the place not luy- ing been selected. ‘The most important matter transacted was the retention of the supreme court headquarters a0. remain in Philadelphia, and a bureau of endowment for the states in which there are none. ‘The grand secretary reported 10,750 financial branches, 12,627 dispensations granted by the S.C.

Cummings, ‘attorney gen- eral of the order. ‘There was the grand parade with 20,000 people in line. This was followed by a dri at Ponce de Leon park, where the Patriarchie of Pittsburgh won the first prize, Indiana second honors and Chicago third: ‘The same night a grand ball was given at the Auditorium, which was. it- tended by 3,000 people, "Phe local com- mittee, headed by Mr. B. J. Davis, was responsible for the preparations maie ao entertain the delegates and visitors. All were greatly pleased with the hospitality and courtesy extended them, and. claim that the biennial session here was the grandest and most successful in the his- tory of the order. ‘The Odd Fellows in the past two years, from statistics, show a gteater progress than in any period of their history. They have spent more money for widows and orphans, paid out more money for the burial of their members and erected more halls and lodge rooms and have more money in the bank to their credit than ever before. The chief aim has been the teaching of those things that are for the elevation of the race, inculeation of the princiuples of Friendship, Love and ‘Truth. ‘The Grand Household of Ruth was also in session with nearly three thousand delegates presena. ‘Their meeting was interesting and harmonious until tie day of election, but affairs were finally set- tled by electing Mrs, Mary GC. Parker, of New York, most grand worthy superior, and Mrs. Mamie M. Hailey secretary. ‘The P. G.

KOKOMO, ID. — The seventy-fourth conference of the African Methodist Episcopal Church of Indiana closed with the reading of the assignment of pastors by Hop Lee. Shortly before the assignments were read the following resolution was introduced and unanimously adopted: "Whereas, It was announced through the columns of the daily press, last Thursday, that the A.M. E. conference, sitting in Kokomo, had indorsed the candidacy of Col. Theodore Roosevelt for the presidency, and whereas, The report on the state of the country stated that the Republican party had outlived its usefulness. "Whereas, We deem it unwise to denounce or indorse any political party, be it resolved. That we, the members of the Indiana conference, sitting in seventy-fourth session, disclaim all responsibility for the above mentioned report." SPARKS FRESH FROM THE FALLS CITY.

We can boast of a population of 1,000 men and women in the town are very wealthy. In a previous issue we known the purpose of the National Negro Business Men's League of America, which is to be held here, and considerable enthusiasm is manifested among the thinkers of the town throughout the West. The success of this organization to our city is due to Mr. Tolly J. Ellott, proprietor of Ellott Bros. dry goods store.

The Pastime theater has at present eight new formers and is showing to crowded houses nightly. Speaking of the progressive Negroes, "Muskogee, we take the stage for us," Muskogee Hon. G. W. P. Brown and R. Emmet Stewart, who hall from Fort Wayne, Ind. These gentlemen came to Muskogee more than once, and they have rapidly won the confidence of the people, and are well liked in this city...

Only four years ago this business was erected by Dr. E. P. Brown, of Glenwood, and has been occupied by a number of business men of all professions. The recent change came as a great surprise to the Negro business in the very heart of the city and is said to be worth $100,000. The business to remain will be the Ellott Business and department store and the J. Adams goods and shoe department. Prof. S.

SATURDAY, SEPT 28, 1912 Haul down that flag, bishop. Maybe the Bull Moosers began too soon. They seem to be getting tired. Quotation for the autumn weather; Firm; steady; possibly a slight downward tendency. As it concerns our baseball club some distinguisment at being a tailender; not very enviable, however. The Negroes of Washington, D. C. have celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of President Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation in a big way. What will they do in 1913, the time set for the national demonstration? Not very much in the Colonel writing a letter that intimated he would be pleased to see his old friend elevated in the church. Quite the natural thing to wish. But why run from it? Verily, the guilty flee when no man pursueth. Now, Mr. Black Voter, you. with 600,000 ballots in your hand, you with the lectoral vote of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and New York in your pocket, what are you going to do about it?—The Cricis. Forget it. Balance of power is a double-edged sword. The Indianapolls contingent of the Bull Moosers has been hit hard. The candidate for Congress has seen fit to resign his candidacy. He urged pressure of business, old age, and so forth. But he did not discover these hindrances until the old-line Republicans began to pull his record on him. And the Colonel would have taken every one of the votes of that great number of contesting delegates at Chicago. That he didn't get them was not his fault. And yet he talks of stealing. Where does his righteousness come in? Covet not thy neighbor's property, is the moral. When crusades are on they don't have to label them as Mr. Roosevelt does. The people know them when they are seen. Mayor Shank made a crusade against high prices and made potatoes famous. He did not have to name his movement. Perhaps he never thought of it as the high-sounding thing "crusade." Mr. Roosevelt is altogether too spectacular for the job of President. Of course, Bishop Lenox's proposed flag is not worthy of a second thought. But as it is very often, the very things that are no account and foolish make headway, and this foolishness is added up right along with the other racial items. The minus sign will precede such items, the effect being, as all know, to reduce the sum total. Keep out the items that must be preceded by the minus sign. Cary B. Lewis, the well-known news paper correspondent, was in the city this week, after a trip to Atlanta, Ga., where he was sent as a special writer to the B. M. C., which met in that city recently. Mr. Lewis is justly proud of the selection. He proved the confidence imposed in him as a correspondent, reporting the doings of the body faithfully and completely. Mr. Lewis was formerly of Louisville, but for several years has been engaged in newspaper work in Chicago, his press ent home. He is of recognized ability, enjoying a national reputation. The chief Bull Mooser at Little Rock, Ark., this week referred to his party as a religious movement. He said he felt that he was in a crusade. A crusade for what? Don Quixote thought he was in a crusade also. But peace and quiet reigned in his country just as it is with us. The new party hasn't a single helpful principle to advance. If it stood for the complete enfranchisement of the Negroes it would have a cause for existence. The Negro, bound and gagged civilly and politically, is the monster wrong of the age, and Roosevelt, the would-be Leviathan of the day, hasn't the nerve to tackle it. John Brown was a near-crusader. He is alone in his class. A Japanese publication, smarting under the restrictions of America to that people, says: "We have no claims to present to America except free access to the labor market, our right to have a free hand in the economic development of the country, that they lay aside their racial prejudices, that they discard the view that America belongs to themselves alone. Let them recognize that it is the common property and for the common convenience of the entire hu man race. We only put forth the claim that heaven has decreed that every human being under heaven and every dweller on the earth is entitled to a part of the immense territory on the American continent." That's goin' some. Race publications of Arkansas insist that the grandfather clause of the constitution of that State has been killed. The Vanguard recently had as follows: "A large number of the Negro leaders are taking the credit for the defeat of the grandfather clause to themselves; but, gentlemen, it was the Lord." Well, if it were the Lord's work in a different sense to the authorship of other work, we may expect to see a clean sweep in such affairs. If the precedent is established as the Vanguard thinks, it is not likely that we will have the one isolated case. Perhaps we had better feel these things to be permissible by the higher source quoted, rather than by direct ordering, "EXCHANGE VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS" Is the title of a speech made by United States Senator Reed Smoot, of Utah August 26, 1912. This speech has been issued in document form by the American Protective Tariff League, as document No. 99. Send postal card request for free copy to W. F. Wakeman, sec retary, 339 Broadway, New York. COLORED WAITERS IN FAVOR. The Parker House, of Boston, Mass., has been turned over to colored waiters. The house is first class, employing above a hundred waiters. The manager says he has had his fill of unions. The success of the colored boys is considered quite a victory. We are not among those who feel that the colored boys should have all of the hotel work, even if it is merely waiting table. They should have a good share of it, however, since they don't get a square industrial deal. The unions have been inclined to "hog" the business. The slogan in the East was, "A hotel with Negro waiters is a second-class hotel." It was a rather fetching foreword, and perhaps it helped to secure the union in its advantage. We have no fling at unions; they have their places; they are useful to men of small wages, but when their efforts are directed at shutting out a class of people, those shut out cannot entertain the best feeling for them. They will be consistent when they conclude that "there is enough glory for us all," as Captain Cook would say. THE REFERENDUM AND THE RE CALL AGAIN. The referendum and recall ideas would have answered very well in the days of such tyrants as Nero, as a matter of thwarting the designs of despots. Representative government is the outgrowth of the conditions of those days and similar conditions until the ideal in government became a realization—the individual governing himself. These days in all things may not be the best. From what is taking place daily by improvements in many directions it may mean that we are just entering the good things reserved up in the centuries for the well-being and earthly glory of mankind. Government, however, is not susceptible to great changes, as Mr. Roosevelt would instill in his followers. We can only be governed by some one wholly or by a few, or by oursels wholly, or by oursels and others jointly. The choice of government is indeed limited. And the political economist or the most learned statesman may write volumes in elaboration of government, but they will still be speaking to the very few kinds of government possible. This goes to say that the evolution leading up to the automobile or to those great printing presses, with their wilderness of machinery, will not apply to government. The thoughtless think of government as they think of machinery. They think that it can go on and on forever, making additions by way of improvement. They speak of old-fashioned ideas and new-fashioned ideas as flippantly as if they were speaking of women's wearing apparel. Representative government is perfect government, and is not susceptible to any improvement—just as truth will not be beaten. We cannot accept substitutes for the parents in the family as the head of the family at its best. Philosophers, the wise men of all time, have dreamed of democracies and republics, and now and then they were realized. They lapsed now and then, not because the truth that man would govern himself was in "error," but because the people were traded on; they became heedless and thoughtless, and as Patrick Henry put it, little by little the liberties of the people were stolen from them. We have a reflex of that condition to-day, when under one pretext or another designing men are making effort to play the people into political ambush. And if they are not careful they will lose their present estate of self-government and thus revert to one of the other, where despotism is a phase, if not the whole thing—depending on the caprice of an individual or individuals, rather than on the deliberate choice of themselves. The referendum and the recall, if not the initiative, are no less than expressions of representative government in reversion. It is as if we had made the rounds of the different modes, and in our craze for change are willing to hazard our independence at finding something new. "There is nothing new under the sun," strikes off the situation aptly enough. In the effort to find the new we are confronted with the old. Knock the masks away, and there it is. The referendum is a repudiation of ourselves, and which will beget distrust and chaos in the end if permitted as thought out. It is a pretty theory to talk of the people uncreating what they create. It is all right in the potentiality. The power is theirs. But at that they are not to be wanton in destruction, lest they destroy themselves. The legislators are not to be thought apart from the people. They are the people's further THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. selves, as are the other officials that are chosen to act for the people. Their selection is merely a matter of convenience, since the people cannot meet together to discuss and pass on questions for the public good. The individual is in evidence as much as it is possible for him to be so, and thus answering the best form of government—the nearest approach to individual government. Referendum and recall is of the theory that legislators and officials act independently of the people, making and handing down laws to them, rather than carrying out their wishes. We have no such condition. And when it is urged that we have, it is merely an assumption, or the expression of a theory of possibility. The legislators and officers could forget the purpose of their selection. But would it be conducive to their political longevity? Not much. They are also the people, and are no more interested in making hard conditions than the people are to have them. The tendency of the Bull Moose crowd is to divorce the people and the officials, notwithstanding they are immediately depending on them. A laborer will generally stand with his employer in most things, where politics is not involved, since he depends on his employer for existence. He may not be en rapport with the employer, but he does not oppose him or antagonize him. Some such relation exists between legislators and officials and the people. The referendum and the recall are weapons of destruction. Perhaps nothing in history has worn such a menacing front. They were not revived of necessity, but as engines of offense to beat a way into the affections of the people and finally into office by disgruntled men. The dear people, happily, are becoming to see the intent. They know that there are no tyrants among us. If there were, they would be expelled by the force of public opinion, which brooks no infringement on the American patent of rights. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL Prof. Collins Will Leave the State Normal—Bull Moose Party Organized—The Berlin Whist Club—Taylor's Theaters—Prof. Mayc Again—A Man to Head the Normal Institute. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People's Pharmacy. Both phones 666. Box 233.) Special to THE FREEMAN. SUNY FRANKFORT, Ky.—No resignation of any member of the faculty of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute could cause more regret than that of Mr. Collins, the professor of the science. He leaves October 1 to join the faculty of Philander Smith College, Little Rock, Ark. one of the leading colleges of the university, and one of the arts of the celebrated Livingston College, and he has done considerable postgraduate work in Ohio and one of the colleges of the university, and a commercial student of much ability, and is well prepared as a competent instructor in many ways. While it seems a little difficult to teach in the natural science department, it is more so owing to the great ability of the man just leaving the position, for the faculty desires to teach in the natural science department, the ability of Prof. Collins, so that his great work may be continued. This department of the institute is surpassed by very few in this country, and the faculty is in general feel the loss of such a man as Prof. Collins, who has developed to a large extent the efficiency of the natural science department of Prof. Collins Kentucky loses one of its brightest school instructors; but what is our loss is a great gain for Little Rock. The Bull Moose organization was put into existence in this city recently, and a great deal of interest seems to be manifested as a film among the Roosevelt admirers. A strong ecstasy is being made by the Bull Moosers to make this organization one of the most important of advancing the political standard. Mr. B. T. Harvey was elected president, and Mr. Willis Garner secretary. The Berlin Whist Club made its first appearance for the autumn sessions in a special dance for the club and its guests at Odd Fellows' hall. A large crowd was present, and features were brought to the front. Mr. W. F. Simpson, a very popular young man, was floor manager of the occasion. Redman's orchestra rendered the music, and a lovely time was enjoyed by all present. --- The hearts of the people are gladdened to see the progress of the business men of the race, as compared with the other classes of business men. We are proud to be the front business men to the front ranks. Taylor's theater, located in the fine Odd Fellows' building, was the scene of a large gathering of business men and women formances for the first week were given by home talent. The work done by these people shows how the race is progressing in the theatrical sense as we work as in a business environment. The objects of race progressiveness among our businesses centerprises. The people should be the managers, the directors and the manager of the theater as the theatrical profession is a hard one to fill, and the work done at this theater is undoubtedly encouraging to the race. This occasion should be an inspiration to our people. --- Mr. George W. Martin, one of the most prosperous young business men of the city, was united in marriage to Miss Pauline Woolfork, a popular young lady and a schoolmate at the residence of Rev E. Jackson Mineer. Miss Woolfork couple has a very bright future. A cordial good wish is extended these young people by our citizens. Mr. R. H. Rutherford, of Washington, D. C., vice-president of the National Benefit Association, is in the city the guest of Mme. Lizzie Allen. The Capital Social Club has made a progressive step to raise a higher standard among the boys and girls. The club is now arranging a reading room, where many may request a dose of interest to the community at large, which is disbanded. Many of the prominent citizens are willing to back their ideas up in this good work. Mr. Cdaule Brown is making good as a barber in Portsmouth, Ohio. Colonel W. W. Jackson delivered a fine speech in Dayton, Ohio, recently. Mr. H. C. Robinson, a retired soldier of the United States army, is now making his home in Lexington. Dr. James McPatrick, superintendent of the Atlanta Mutual Insurance Association, is having remarkable success in Lexington. His office is consolidated with Lawyer Chili in Ballard's drug store. Mrs. Marie Johnson entertained at a luncheon at her residence in Bell Point the following ladies: Mrs. S. Whitaker, the following man: Mr. Perterson, of Georgetown; Mrs. Joe Troy, of Lexington, and Mrs. James Troy, of this city. A pleasant evening was enjoyed. Rev. J. J.

Washington. Mr. Thomas Alcone, a respectable citizen of our city, died at his residence on Mero street. Mr. Alcone was a member of the Best Brewers and the K. P. lodge. He was well known in this city by both white and colored people. He leaves a wife and son and a host of friends to mourn his death. Mr. Mike Howard, the father of Miss Rosa Howard, a graduate of the Normal Institute, met his death while fishing in a pond near here last week. Mr. Howard was highly respected and had a host of friends. --- Mrs. Charles W. Harris and Mrs. Harry Combs, of Maysville, were the guests of Mr. and Mrs. L. D. Williams at their residence on Normal Heights. Mrs. Harris is the mother-in-law of M. r. Williams. Miss Dora Dotson has been very ill with the chills at her residence on Clinton street.

Timberlake made of the best speeches of his life at Flemingburg at the fair grounds. He is employed in the office of theendent of public instruction in this city. POLITICS BOILING IN THE WINDY CITY—GEORGE L. KNOX HERE. Special to THE FREEMAN CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 26.—Never before in the history of Chicago has politics waxed so warm. The Taftites and the Bull Moorsers are working day and night to create enthusiasm. Phil Brown, who is a professor of political bureaucracy, is sending out splendidly written matter in the interest of the grand old party, while young A. N. Fields is preparing to find a hearing in the Roosevelt papers. Some very interesting reading may be seen here, with articles that of "Phil" cleaning up with the Moorsers. . . . Quite a number of colored students have matriculated at the Chicago University, among them being Misses Bertha Moseley and Geraldine Hodges. The Indianapolis Freeman was read by the Rev. J. E. Fisher, pastor, Ollie Moseley, and Dr. Fisher is a Taft man, and the Freeman was read and urged by the pastor to be read by each member of his church. Editor George L. Knox was in the city this week on business. Mr. Knox stopped with his sister, but the major portion of his business was with the acquaintances, with Phil H. Brown and other supporters of the grand old party. Mr. Fitts, president of the Bethel Literary Club of Bethel A. M. E. Church, states to the representative of the Freeman that during the next week he will have to have on each Sunday such an array of talent as will 40-Performers and Musicians Wanted-40 For the Florida Blossoms Theatrical Company Musicians must double B. & O.

Misses Lula Coates and Florence Smiley are in the city of Indianapolis, and are the guests of Shaul C. Key, of The Freeman. Miss Coates and the Chanticleer Four were to have played at the Crown Theater, but owing to some disagreement as to the salary, Miss Coates and the Chanticleer Four learned here last night that the company went to St. Louis, Mo., for a week's run. It is said that Misses Coates and Smiley love some of the prettiest and sweetest clothes in vaudeville. They are expected to return to Chicago soon and go on big time. --- Major R. R.

Johnson, Conway & Watson at the Grand Central Indian Museum, New York Danger, Please There were no tedious moments on the bill which opened at the Grand on Monday evening. Johnson, Conway and Watson, in a comedy farce, the "Leak," were invited to the Grand and quite away from the usual routine of utilities, except the working to death of the telephone. But the act, which included a real actress, was decidedly good. Osseo, wearing clothes and natural flowing hair, sang well and landed war dances in genuine style, which made a hit, as did his encore imitation of the way they do it now in rag time, the most famous novel commotion. The Kravitz Trio, Mitchell, Wells and Lewis, sang well and acted nicely in a piano and ragtime combination, and L. H. Rose and company in "A Matter of Custum" repeated the song, raised the novel to go. The last half of last week retained Housley and Nichols as the stars.

Mrs. McIntosh not only sing good comedy songs but also wrote and danced with him usual agility and wore lavalish dresses as in days of yore. Miss Kenton put one over in a song and dance, and the boys danced well. This act is now good enough for big audiences. Mrs. McIntosh her re-centre after several months' absence, and thrilled in lickerish dances, which nearly reached the limit, but got a good reception. Merrieweather and Casamay provoking. Merris comedy work is now in an advancing stage and Casamay is one exquisite dancer.

Miss Irene Howard was changed to the night show so she added numbers, which generalist Daniels used to cancel the main attraction. The Two Sweets seem to have filled a desire in the hearts of the Pekin patrons.

Notes. Detective E. S. Hull, of Chicago, while passing through this city last week could not resist the temptation of making an arrest when the opportunity presented it, and he neared John, he saw a bad Negro flourishing a revolver and threatening people, and no city officer in sight. He immediately placed the giant under arrest after a rage and took him to police headquarters when Hull was implored by the chief of police. Hull remained over to prosecute his man. Tom Gales, the tried veteran of many hard campaigns, who was thought to have given up the stage and joined the Mexican rebel army, has at last been heard from, and not in the home for aged and decrepit actors, as some predicted, either.

Barraso, proprietor and manager of the Savoy theater, Memphis, Tenn., would be asked by performers who are not really on the standard. Mr. Barraso has had some of the highest salaried performers in the music industry, and he has been treated royally; and he does not owe any of them, such as Bessie La Belle, Queen Dora, English, James Sisley, Sweetie and Ramson, all of whom are performers of high class. Mr. Barraso has enough money to buy half have and can set performers. He has been doing a successful business ever since the death of his brother, Fred. There are always openings for good sister teams, novice coaches, and long engagements if you make good. No act too expensive if you can deliver the goods. A. BARRASSO, STAR THEATER, COLUMBUS, GA Miss Rachel Gillard, one of the most pleasing and hard working soubretes on the stage, closed the week's engagement Sage Johnson, responded three and four encores nightly during the entire four weeks. Our patrons have already begun urging the manager to give her the time to play. Rustus Jones also closed a four weeks' holdover, but became a little "rocky" the last night, and the last show had to be put on without him. He alone seemed to be able to handle it. Miss Arnetta Shackelford, late of the team of Williams and Shackelford, made an appearance in the city and certainly took the audience in the heart very carefully songs and live-wire dancing. We hope to be favored with the reappearance of Miss Shackelford again this week. Jackson and Jackson, a team of decidedly young appearance, closed after two fairly successful weeks. The two engagement Monday night, and the lobby, pavement and to the middle of the street was a solid mass of struggling hu- NOTES FROM THE WHITE SLAVE COMPANY LOWERY AND HIS EXCELLENT COMPANY. P. G. Lowery's Progressive Musical Enterprise is the right name for the above company. We have had the pleasure of having many of their pianes, and can safely say without fear of contradiction that the company with the Wallace Shows, under the management of P. G. Lowery, is the best aggregation under the even-balanced company, carving a band, orchestra and show. From the first number, the band on parade one can easily detect each one from the old school. Each member has had personal teaching from Prof. Lowery, and play only as trained musicians. The band are well sustained with perfect attribution, especially for a small band. The old, self-made style of blasting and each member trying to outflow his fellow bandmate is a major part of his organization. The concert work by the side of the tent is the most pleasing of any band I have ever had the chance of listening to, consisting of popular overtures by many of the band's members. One can easily detect the musical ability of such men as A. A. Wright. Thomas May, John Hawwood, John H. Tobias, Wm. M. Vidor, Victor, who handle their independent solos in different selections in artistic style. I would advise all young musicians to try to take advantage of such schooling. I have always been very good. They dress neat and tidy, especially the three ladies, Mrs. Alma Richardson, Miss Lizzie Thompson and Miss Calcine. They are fun-loving end-men, Charles Beechum U. S. T. Johnson, are two busy bees, and there is not one dull moment. Special mention is due Mr. Irvie Richardson, who is not only rarely heard under the side show tent. The minstrel part is able supported by an excellent orchestra, under the leadership of A. Victor, who, I hear, has been employed of P. G. Lowery for seven years. This is, without doubt, the most pleasant company I ever had an opportunity to hear. On asking Mr. Lowery how he managed to bring about such unanimous harmony, he replied: "It's all in the system—when speak, what to speak and how to speak." CRITERION THEATER, KANSAS CITY, MO. The original McDaniel Comedy Company, now playing as the Criterion Stock Company, has been playing to crowded audiences for the past decade, but it is still holding the crowds, Mr. O. H. McDaniel, the producer, and Mr. Homer R. Roberts, the manager of the theater, has been playing to crowded audiences the past season and hope that with the aid of the Freeman they will be able to secure some more ladies and gentlemen in the theater. The attendance at the shows in the future as well as has been done in the past. The new business in Kansas City is now in its infancy, but it is coming to the front fast. The Freeman is on sale all over the city, and the colored people are supporting the city, and airdresses in a way to be proud of. The Criterion Stock Company has been very well received by the Kansas City team, Doe Doe Green, Ovation, better known as Doe Doe Green, the toughest has a large following, as he has proven to be the greatest favorite Kansas City has ever had in this profession. Mrs. Ana Murray, the captivated thousands of patrons with her sweet singing and good acting. Mr. J. W. Brown, better known as Buddie Jenny, is a straight man who has worked his way up to the highest level, his clever singing, dancing and acting. Mr. Archie Jones, the king of character men, is a new member of the McDaniel team, and he is the favorite wherever he goes. He is a gentleman and off the stage, and a belter of ability hardly excelled by anyone. In his presentation of "Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde," he became the pride of Kansas City. He Mr. S. R. McDaniel, better known as Cream Puff, is a comedian, dancer and character man who is hard to beat. Being an all-round performer, he has done many great things, including a success. Miss Toy Chappelle is also a great favorite here, as she is a classy soubret, singing and dancing, and one of the best character women in the business. Ms. Holt has proven to be a great assuir, the company and receives much praise for her fine emotional acting and male impersonator. Miss Laureinstein Ford is a comedian, dancer and soprano voice that pleases. She makes good with her wierd dances and clever singing. Mr. Gallie Haston is the new George Walker, and he screams the audiences in THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. his wrench impersonations. Mr. Frank H. Austin are also hard to beat in their line. Mr. Alonzo Moore, the Great Colored Magician. Mr. Alanzo Moore, the great colored magician, opened his engagement at the Criterion for one week's engagement on Saturday, hits of his career. He played to a packed house, following one of the strongest bills of the season, "The Child of the Regiment" produced by O. H. Kaufer and closed with O. H. Kaufer and closed with vaudeville. He was pronounced great by all who witnessed his act. The people all yelled for half an hour when he would be playing with money and cards from the clothing of different people in the audience. His act is great, and the man is as musc as his act. The Criterion orchestra is under the leadership of the celebrated trombone solist. The chorus is handled by Miss Alma Webster, the pianist. She has no equils among the ladies. Her playing is great, and we are all in the house, though the show is said to be good. Baby Seals is also at the Star with his partner, Miss Fisher. They are in stock. All send regards to all friends in and around the professors of the Freeman. O. H. McDANIEL. OBITUARY. Pretty Bessie Brady Dies in New York—Body Brought to Chicago for Burial.

The mineral took place at Mother Zoe's home on September 14, arrival of her brother from Chicago, Wednesday, September 18. Mrs. Kelley, to say the least, was a very devoted wife of advice and comfort which came to me regular, as one of a number of women who admired my life's work in literature, were of great consolation to me and I was very grateful to her, miss, for her words were words of wisdom that came as if a message from on high. And few people there are who know the depressive illness of the world's most philosopherly are, SYLVERE RUSSELL. EASTERN THEATRICAL NOTES: (By Billy E. Jones.) Miss Ray White and Miss Rose Orr will form a trio to play the principal vaudeville houses in and around New York City.

Brooks and Robinson, the two eccentrices, will open their season on the Western, in their time in New York, Francisco, in their new act, "The Dark-town Millionaire," October 14.

The Funeral Thousands at Church Tribune Touching Scents As Providence would have it, the father of Mrs. Jack Johnson had been called to long home before her end. However, he did not know what to do. He was an invalid at the age of the marriage, the news of which, to the least, aided him. David Terry, the mother of David Terry, the father of learning of the happening, shut up in his home; refused to see anyone except his immediate family, he would not be comforted. Well, he knew news to him to his grave. Mr. he was of importance in his community; he was a member of a firm near New York City. His family was deeply desecrated, consequently felt the darts that so well how to direct. Had he been living his abdurate heart would not have been what he would have passed on to the world without the blessing of a father, that only visible display of a father love to his grown-up children. And the fact that he had no race, socially, and owing to each one is a tempted inquirer of the Alfis whether mankind expects of man more than he expects of the races should commingle, without distinction between those made in the image of the Maker. If the millennium man should be the man it is, the dim distance, judging by only happenings and the things that not permitted to happen. . . . Bita Darvaea was fortunate in having left as her chief mourner her mother rather than her father. Her mother already had a woman opposite. She annotated that womanhood that will not subdue to description—a description that never was—the final trust of mankind—the last sand of mankind. To look from her house, to look from her house, to look from her house, to not be held them. As society gave this woman, Mrs. David Terry, suffered very much. Mrs. David Terry, suffering, that takes no cognizance of the Nuro race. Her society was not different to the societies of white people of the country generally, who do not for a single moment think of entertaining No- Mia Terry entered the usual plea of maturity for her daughter, defending her, the old destruction when rationally minded is generally considered some burning same. She also defended the husband, Jack Johnson, insisting that she was not the one who defended kindness on the unfortunate woman. Here again was mother—motherhood at its best mission, saving the remnants of her daughter's diggish beyond hope of total restoration. It is a mother's way; she included the great black man in her mission to her social creed and to her race in all other ways mostly, the main instinct fought its way through much that must have revolted her but on her she reached the clear white plain of her conscience beyond; she set her standard there. She insisted that her daughter was Johnson's only wife, thus striking at hurtful rumor in defense of her daughter's Seriously less in her stolicism and resignation was the remaining daughter than the daughter of Jane, who felt the scaled of charity and which follows naturally enough. It is said that she has released her intended from this relationship to carry out his contracts with her. What he will do in the matter will prove interesting, and in the interest of the problem of the possible harm arising from such actions, the young lady was not heedless to the call of her flesh and blood, even though she walk through the valley and shadow . . . The thousands that gathered about the home, the church and at the cemetery during the ceremonies and burial rites of the Lennison family, with disregard to the calm of the mother and sister. But it was the tribute paid to greatness, perhaps not the greatness most desirable, and the greatness most desirable, that the merely burial rites about the remains of the woman who was associated with greatness, and who goes, as a token of distinction to the individual, Jack Johnson, the husband of the curiosity. From all accounts, not only was the curiosity. From all accounts, not only was the woman herself, who chose the character. A beautiful woman, wonderful woman. Despite the strange, uninteresting, the proved treasure, the interesting, as known, in relation to the choice she made and it it meant. Not one note of disinterest was noted. That she chose almost solely from racial valour, the most that her worst detractors can say of her. She married a "nigger" was the one unapponable sin, but happily so out of men's prejudices rather than from their The crowds in the most part, we take the liberty to say, were moved by what happened to her. More idle curiosity moved but the foe. The wife of the foremost fighting man of the age had conducted her life, as she was, with her eyes fixed on her wife she was above suspicion. The loads of flowers the reflex of sentiment and regrets, smoke eloquently. Tender fragile hands the wounds best keeping of mans endurance were carried out on the untenanted form in the most prostrion. Here was no mockery or curiosity, but the substitutes for means and tears. The crowds of strange mixture: Dugdils, those men of hard knocks, yet who are touched as little children; sporting in the open air; the age to a passing angel of their clan. It is strange indeed! Bohemia responds to Bohemia when she falls as none other. But what its God so doth know." And we are more than sparrows. Will $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

His question is no less than a declaration that there was hope beyond. Mrs. Johnson's faith and creed are unknown, but she thinks that she made an earnest appeal at the final moment and to whom it was worth while. His ways are past finding and he knows but what tired souls may be gathered unto their rest that we reckon not of. THE FUNERAL OF MRS. JACK JOHNSON. Crowds Gather at Church and Cemetery—Mother and Sister Are CHICAGO—Atta Duryea Johnson, the white wife of John Arthur Johnson, champion pugilist of the world, was buried in a cemetery that could not have occurred on an ordinary occasion. A grave side had wrought up public interest, and thousands congregated in the streets around the Johnson residence, at the church and at the cemetery. Police estimation of the casualty was experienced by squads of the mounted police clearing a path for the cortege. The residence a brief prayer was said by Rev. John W. Roberts of Mark's African Methodist church. The coffin reposed in a great bed of lilies of the valley. There were roses everywhere, four automobiles being required to carry the coffin from the residence the police fought with the tohn to make a path for the hearse and automobiles conveying relatives. A number of women fainted and had to be lifted out of the dense crowd. It was a remarkable scene. Many were in the street, many at the pitiful grief of Johnson, for he has many friends among prominent white men. There were mingled in the crowded throng white men and women, actresses, and the masses of every shade and condition, and the thousands drawn purely by morbid curiosity. Colored Girls Sang. Strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee" seldom reach the ear of the hardened fighter of the prize ring. Clang of the music, the sound of the music. Yet when the song rose from the throats of the choir of colored girls at St. Mark's church tears unrestrained coursed down the cheeks of the widower a score of other battle-scarred pugilists. "Pretty tough gain" mumbled "California Jack" Anderson, former Pacific Coast lightweight, as he furtively wiped numerous eyes with his new black plush Fedron. The church was densely packed and the heavy odor of the great masses of beautiful flowers caused women to faint. On the gray casket, in the midst of the flowers, there shone one tiny white candle. "Is there anyone in this church who can be so cruel as to deny one star of hope to the widower," the widower, as he arose to deliver the sermon. "Is there anyone who cannot let the great mantle of charity cover the call of a disquieted heart?" The Carmen Rev. Mr. Robinson cleared up a point not generally known to the public when he declared in a short sketch of Mrs. Johnson that she was married to John Arthur Johnson on February 11, 1910. He said she was born September 11, 1910. Champion Supports Mother-in-Law. Rev. Mr. Robinson announced that the mixed choir would sing the favorite song of Mr. Johnson, the Name of Jesus of Christ, which she sang to him when a member of the congregation of Sf. James Methodist church, of Brooklyn, N. Y. At the close of the song the passerby asked the teacher the peace that had entered the life of one who had been troubled and who had found the struggle of life weary. Mrs. David Terry and Miss Elaine Terry, of Brooklyn, N. Y., appeared in the doorway, the former supported by her dusky son-in-law. She was sobbing bitterly, the despair she stained the pugilist half supported, half carried her. Both mother and daughter were heavily veiled. Some were surprised when the two women entered the closed limonium, its gray curtained by the stained services they had remained in a room above the parlor alone. At the close of the services the opened, and an opportunity given to Mrs. Johnson, the name of Mrs. Johnson for the last time, Johnson himself was the first to pass the bier, and as he did so the crowd became hushed. Johnson bent down and kissed the case. Johnson bent down and kissed the clay on the brow and turned away, his great frame shaking with emotion. He stepped on the brow and stepped on review before the casket. Noted Sporting Men There. Others who wept unashamed as they passed were "Tom" Flanigan, a jok Barry, Barney Furry, Abe Harris, Jack Curley and a score of lesser pugilistic lights. They were many white people in the line. The pullearbears were Johnson's intimate friends and included his trainers, a few of whom were business friends. As the procession came from the church, twenty mounted police found themselves hard put to it to make a path for the cortege, which wormed its way through the thousands. Burial was for the deceased, where bodies were held. Morbidly curious thousands crowded about the receiving vault and blocked the funeral. The throngs pushed eagerly forward as the crowd was waiting to view the six black pullearbears. In the crowd the whites out-numbered the blacks. Pushing over each other to get a grip of the crowd, the six black crowds nearly separated members of the mourning party. It was with difficulty that Jack Curley, formerly manager of the pugilist, was able to keep his feet as they moved David Terry, mother of the dead woman. TALKING FIGHT PUGS' MANAGERS TRYING TO GET TOGETHER. I see that you say that I have refused to make a match with the Billy McClain string of pugs. Now, Mr. McClain has never sent me to any terms for a match, but he has sent me to his and his other letters. McClain only asked me of the lowest terms I could put on my men at. I wrote him that I would put on Kid Phillips against any lightweight and on Dye against any walterweight. He had a knockout, but not a knockout. Also, say that Gans or Smith have not been matched with Kid Fields, as his manager never answered me about a concession to a knockout. In the chance of fighting here in Louisville, so just say that McClain is mistaken about my trying to get around him, as he is the one I want.

DEMPANY Those of us who knew Mr. Coleridge-Taylor best are just beginning to realize that it is really true that our eminent composer has passed to the great beyond. When the news came from London on Sunday 2 April 1886, Mr. Coleridge had died the day before, we could not believe that this master of only thirty-seven years was no more. But, alas, it is too true! I believe that Mr. Coleridge-Taylor's life is putting me more on the music Negro musician and music student here in America than can be told in words. That his life was an inspiration to me is putting it miles. My acquaintance with Mr. Coleridge-Taylor did my my student days at Olerlin (1886-1900), when I received from him a number of his violin compositions and a very kind letter, saying that Mr. Frederick Loudon, who was then in London, had spoken to him about his life and how eagerly I practiced those composi- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER tions, and how many, many times I read and re-read that letter. As both friend and teacher I found him a man of great personality and one who out of the goodness of his heart was ever helpful and helpfulful suggestions. He had a keen sense of humor and always enjoyed a good story. Those who knew him best will never forget his cheery smile and affable manner. He will know him to know him and count him as a friend. Coleridge-Taylor will live as long as there is a boy or girl with Negro blood and a song of song" in his or her heart; and his life and achievements will be a beacon light to all who have the ambition to go on and accomplish great things in the art in which he was such a glorious spirit.

The big rehearsals for the No. 2 show begin on or about November 1. Prof. P. G. Lowey, our esteemed friend and manager, paid a short visit to the studio and liked it by all members of the company.

Several new members have recently joined, including the veteran tenor, Mr. Watts. Miss Robbins and Ruth Sprague, a bran new act, are making them set up and take notice, as both do some very clever work.

We are sorry indeed for such occurrences. We hope our correspondents will be big enough to overlook the small things that we have to deal with. We feel that such happenings are a part of the business. We hope that they will not see the necessity of saying things that are not important, of those of large influence in their communities. Neither do we mean that supposed small people shall be selected. We hope to avoid unpleasantness with who we are. We give the foregoing for what it may be worth, hoping that it will prove satisfactory to those concerned. We feel to be satisfied that our concern did not say anything that reflected on the character of Rev. Riley, saying at most that he was a busybody, who thought that he was not important. As said before, this was not complimentary, but not particularly injurious. EDITOR FREEMAN. THE COLORADO CONFERENCE. The following appointments were made by the A. M. E.

BOXING CONTESTS AT UNION THEATER Will Be Given in Detail Next Issue. Billy McClain, the amusement promoter, gave the good show at the Union Theater last month. He was comfortably, looking very much like the past days when the Union was standing as a good theatrical venture. The band played outside, then inside, and in the end succeeded in cleaning up the streets of all strollers. All roads lead to the theater. Billy introduced his Belgium novelty, "Whizzing the Whiz," which was worth the money. It was the funniest thing that ever happened. The other features were the contest between One Round Bess and Young Joe Gatewood in a terrifying exhibition of Kid Edwards and Bill Maxey and the battle royale. See Freeman next week.
