Dr. Bentley Speaks. In the course of the address Dr. Bentley said: "The music world lost a most distinguished member of the music genius on September 1, 1912, in the death of Mr. Samuel Coleridge Taylor, of London, England. He are indeed, that we, as a people, are called upon to pay tribute to exponents of the arts of poetry and music, who belong to us by racial ties. For ages they have been the highest of a heritage replete with opportunity and every advantage. While art truly belongs to no race or age, but universal, each race has been ever called upon to represent its representatives touch the hem of immortals. The arts of poetry and music are the highest reaches of a people in their civilization. Often they are expressive of sorrow and travail, and here they have their uses, as I will endeavor to show later; but when they reach the highest reaches of their civilization they sing for mankind rather than man; when they touch the heart. quicken the spirit and fire the imagination of Russian, our Englishman and an artful musician, and teach the highest peaks known yet to civilization." Dr. Bentley told of the early career of the lamented composer, his prose-writer, and his musical organizations of London, ability as a teacher, orchestra leader and spoke of the many songs and cantatas eminated from the brain of Mr. Taylor. The speaker became eloquent when he said: "Creation is the link that binds us to the infinite. Its mysterious powers are the powers of thecesses of human analyses. It is Godlike. I was the gift of Blind Tom as it is the gift of Thomas Edison. It is so rare that few hope for its attainment, but I have one of us, a deep lake of peace, out of which flows all that is excellent in our work and striving from it well, if we are music-makers, or if we are music-makers of sweet sounds. It is the abode of poetry, of rhapsodes of youth, of the hidden treasures of arts. It lies not within the reach of the public, but within or gentle wooding, but excited mayhap, by some untoward event frighten with vagueness and struggle, of a sudden makes on shape and clothes itself, in which there was discord. This is inspiration. This is creation. This gift. Mr. Taylor had to an unusual degree. The children of his brain were his sica, the children of the world, the worldland the world is the better that they were born—long may they live!" Annual Literary Contest. Dr. Louie Usellman, the most popular jeweler and optician on the South Side, will present a plea joyous on Christmas by presenting two very valuable and handsome prizes. The occasion will be the annual essay contest at Bethel A. M. University and another at the Bethel Society. It was through Mr. B. F. Pitts, president of the literary society, that he touched three years ago and the jeweler decided that each year he would present the best essay writers with prizes. It has become an annual affair. It has done much more to encourage literary effort, to inspire young people to search and rub up against the best minds of Chicago than anything in the city. The contest will be a week earlier this year than last. It will take place December 15, at 4 o'clock in the main auditorium of Bethel church. The subject is "The Part Played by the Negro Soldier in the Wars of the World."

The appointments of the place have attracted people from all sections of the city and delicious menu, the waiters and the service given have made it "the place of Chicago." The order and decorum is such that it is a place where a parlor with friends—a kind of a family circle.

ANITA PATTI BROWN TO APPEAR AT HOWARD UNIVERSITY Practical Lesson in Political History at Howard—War Department May Appoint Additional Filipinos to West Point—General News Notes. By. R. W. Thompson.

The junior class of Howard University had a practical lesson in political history last Friday afternoon. By direction of the president, Andrew Rankin chapel he attended, the thriving political parties of the land explained to them by prominent members of each. Hon. James A. Fowler, assistant speaker, spoke at the state-spoke for the Republican party. Dr. Milton Waldron, chairman of the Negro Progressive Democratic League, spoke of the necessity of a division in the Negro Progressive Democratic Party. Dr. J. Howard Progressive manager and national committeeman for the District of Columbia, spoke for the Bull Moose party. Mrs. Ellen Spencer Musssey, president of the ommars for the District of Columbia, suffragette women. Other speakers were Prof. Kelly Miller, of the college of arts and sciences, and President Newman. M. M. Harris, of the junior class, introduced the speakers. The occasion was unique and highly enjoyable. --- The War Department may appoint additional Filipinos as cadets in the West Point Military Academy. In 1907, the President recommended the congress authority to appoint one of the Filipinos, or one for every million inhabitants of the Philippine Islands, as cadets at West Point, but congress authorized them to attend the annual Filipino tour class at the academy. The first Filipino appointed as a cadet has reached his third year at West Point, and he may, under existing law, have his successor appointed to the academy. It may be that further authority will be granted to have additional Filipino cadets named. Nothing is being said, by re way, about any move to appoint a new president to the academy to fit themselves for an availance military career. It's all over now! The election pilgrims are returning. John Wesley A. M. E. Zion church is being remodeled under the direction of the energetic pastor, Rev. W. C. Brown. Mr. and Mrs. Ferdinand D.

Lewis has been appointed to the Supreme Court of the United States. The motion was made by Solicitor-General William Marshall Bul . . . The fantastic and gangrened mouthings of the "Sage of the Potomac" still mar the columns of the "Washington Bee." The Sage should make mouthing for his hikers. He needs more fat at the waist line and less in his head. Hampton Institute will try conclusions with the Howard University football team on the 9th, on and Thanksgiving day will come the boys from Lincoln University. Miss Mamie Virginia Gee, of Newport, Ky., sister of Miss Lottie Gee, the vaudeville he was working on, en route to New York City, to take a special course in Columbia University. Mr. J. C. Cunningham, in a well-tempered letter, protests against the practice of allowing day schoolers in the public school, also in the city. He thinks the graduates of the Normal school should be given a chance to work in the night schools, and is of the opinion that the day schoolers should be full day during the day or she cannot do justice in any class at night. They say the board to is tackle this subject soon, but realise that it is a "live wire."

Rube Foster's Dark Players Look the Part—Big Black Hope is Sure Some Hard Slugger—White Men Must Play to Beat the Brunettes. (By Harry A. Williams. (In the Los Angeles Times.) "Heah he comes!" This warning cry from Bruce Petway, a tall, saddle-colored individual, and there were unmistakable signs of action among the American Giants. A mammoth figure had just emerged from the clubhouse, and was steaming ponderously across the outfield toward the home plate. It was "Rube" Foster, boss of the Giants and the Walter Johnson of the colored race. "Rube" had tarred uptown to allow a "picture man" to take a shot at him, and his men had beat him to the daily team practice at Jack Doyle's eminent domain. As a rule it takes some stretch of the imagination to liken a human being to a battleship, but if "Rube" Foster, ploughing up toward the home plate, a calabash pipe in his mouth and said mouth emitting as much smoke as an ocean liner, did not bear a close resemblance to the biggest dreadnought afloat, then I am "seeing things." "Rube" was decked out in a brand new uniform of robin's-egg blue. Just why "Rube" selected this delicate tint is best known to himself. Probably he figured that it would accentuate his brunette beauty. If that was his object he succeeded beyond all expectation. Thus esthetically garbed, "Rube" loomed up like the only and original "cinder." Bill Lindsay was pitching to Barber in batting practice, and Foster lingered behind him just long enough to tell him that he didn't have anything but a fair supply of nerve and a glove at that particular moment. As usual, there was quite a delegation of darktown sports on hand to claim relationship of past acquaintance with "Rube." One of these finally ventured out near the plate. He was the sportiest of the sports. He was decked in an ecu-colored suit, and his flaming red cravat served as the background for a "rock" of questionable authenticity. He approached "Rube" with an air of deference, and for a time it seemed that his courage might ooze out, but it didn't. "Mistah Foster, I see mighty—" Sport is Surprised. "Theah's Mistah Fostah oval Petway is so thin that he has to out Petway, the star catcher. Now, theah," interrupted "Rube," pointing stand three times in the same place to make a shadow. He is built along the lines of a corncob set up on a couple of knitting needles. "Lawdy," ejaculated the sport with the cream-colored sartorial embellishments, "ain't Rube' a gettin' skinny. Iposed he was a regular white hope, Con pone an'possum must be gittin' mighty skerse heahabouts." By this time Foster had taken his place at the plate, batting practice then being in progress. "Doan try any foolin' with me," remonstrated "Rube," as Bill Lindsay, who holds a decision over Brooklyn, sent up one which Foster thought did not have the right amount of "stuff" on it. The ball had a hop on it like a kangaroo, but it looked like a cream puff to "Rube" and he slammed it against the left field fence on a line. "You tighten up, or I see goin' to triple to right next time," warned Foster. Not liking the idea of anyone making two hits in a row off him, Lindsay did tighten up. Foster did hit the ball toward right, but Billy Munroe, the second baseman, backed up, shoveled it out of the tall grass with his left hand and sent it to first with an underhand snap. The entire operation was accompanied with an alaricity that would have discouraged the fleetest base-runner that ever tried to beat out an infield drive. Munroe is a little bow-legged chap with a burnt sienna complexion. He covers a world of ground, and Foster seemed to take especial delight in giving him hard chances when it came to infield practice. First it was a grounder between shortstop and second base. Munroe mitted it. Then Foster sent him scampering back in to short right, where he retrieved a ball that looked for all the world like a safe hit. "Rube" continued to give Munroe hard chances until that able athlete, his breath in danger of failing him, rebelled. "Mistah Fostah, yo sho bettah read up on baseball," advised Munroe. "It am obvious that yo doan know wheah second base is." Infield is East "Rube" good naturedly displayed his teeth and turned his attention to Fred Hutchinson, a pale-brown individual who plays shortstop, and who has a habit of "eatin' everything up" that comes his way. Hutchinson behaves like a saffron edition of Joe Berger, and overlooked nothing that entered hi sterritory or its environs. "Hutchinson to Munroe to Pierce," is a play. which will appear frequently in the box scores of the Winter League. This trio operated yesterday in a manner eloquent of double plays. Pierce, at first base, is a large strong individual, with considerable complexion. "Ham" Patterson hasn't anything on him when it comes to playing the A bag. Pierce also acts as change catcher, and when he is serving in that capacity, Parks presides at first base. Parks, being versatile, is the handy man of the club. With him on the job and any of the regulars crippled, the team can continue to wag. "Ebryting looks like chicken to dat tar baby," yelled a louder in a voice that rose above the Afro-American chatter in the grand stand when Jimm y Taylor, third baseman, gloved a low one and whipped it back to the plate. Petway touched out an imaginary base-runner and shot the ball to Munroe. "Big Chief" Meyers never made a prettier peg in his whole life. It is doubtful whether any man, white or black, can get a ball to second with more speed and precision than the tall and angular Mr. Petway. For several winters he has been playing against big league teams in Cuba. All this time, Parks was backing the outfielders to the fence with long fly balls. Frank Duncan, the leftfielder, is a tall, dark individual with considerable native ability and a E. k the Some Must ) mournful drooping in the right leg of his bloomers. Mr. P. Hill, the center-fielder, is famous for his ability to hit the ball. Give him Tris Speaker's complexion, and there would be nothing to it but Hill. Barber, in right field, is a great judge of fly-balls. It is beneath his dignity to hurry. He doesn't need to. He knows where they are coming, and that is enough. Some Spitters. All this time, Lewis Johnson, Will Gatewood and Charles ("Pat") Dougherty were warming up on the sidelines. Johnson is a "spitball" artist, and claims to have humbled Cincinnati with his moisture. Gatewood also is a "spitballer." Dougherty is the sole southpaw on Foster's pay roll. "Pat" gained fame by holding the Chicago Cubs to one hit in a post-season game. The Giants look like a real ball team in practice, and there will be a flood of darktown coin to back them to win the Winter League race, which will open here Friday with the McCormicks opposed to "Rube" Foster's beauties. NEGRO CHAMP IN JAIL. Lands in Cell With Friend Who Had Attempted Perjury to Obtain CHICAGO.—Jack Johnson, champion heavyweight pugilist of the world, occupied a cell in the county jail, due to his failure to furnish a $30,000 bond for his release on a charge of violating the Mann act. As he left the Federal Building, handcuffed to Deputy Marshal Edward Northrop, after a futile plea to not have his wrist manacled, Johnson seemed greatly dejected, but said nothing. In his extended fight for bond, Johnson shed tears, pleaded, offered cash bond in almost any amount and employed two attorneys, David Backrach and Edward Morris, in an effort to obtain his release. Three prospective bondsmen failed to qualify, and one of them, A. C. Jones, was sent to jail after he had failed to obtain a bond for $10,000 for his appearance in court next Monday to answer a charge of contempt, which was lodged against him by the court when he attempted to schedule property said to belong to his wife. Tony May, another prospective bondsman, was ordered out of court because he gave answers to questions which the court considered untruth- Pleads for Release. "Give cash bond in any amount, but for goodness' sake keep me out of jail." Johnson pleaded with his attorneys. Both District Attorney Wilkerson and Judge Landis refused to consider a cash bond. "An unparalleled attempt to swindle this court by offering unqualified bondsmen has been made," said Judge Landis. "I will not consider a cash bond." Mr. Wilkerson said he understood that Johnson intended to leave this country on November 30 if he obtained his release. The offense with which Johnson is charged is not subject to extradition. District Attorney Wilkerson said he intended to put Johnson on trial as soon as possible. Several other charges against Johnson are to be investigated by the grand jury, it was said. Catherine Dorsey, at whose home the young white girl, Lucile Cameron, lived for several weeks, was arrested this afternoon. She had been hiding in a barn for three weeks. She was held under a $5,000 bond as a witness in the Johnson case and also was remanded to the marshal's custody. Knocks Photographer Down. At the jail door Edward F. Wiegle, a newspaper photographer, attempted to take a flashlight picture of Johnson and the pugilist knocked him down with a heavy cane. "You can't take a picture of me," shouted Johnson. Deputy marshals interfered and Johnson was hurried into the jail. There he was forced to remove all of his clothing, which was subjected to a careful search. Johnson was assigned to a cell in an upper tier. Immediately he objected to the location. He was told he would have to take what was given him in jail. "I want a dozen candles so I can have more light, a box of cigars and a case of champagne," Johnson demanded. "You can't have them," he was told. "You're not as accommodating as they were in San Francisco," Johnson replied. "I got everything I wanted there." Finally, Johnson asked for a bottle of milk and this was given him. SCOOLA. MISS.

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.

Loadstones on the dresser and forgot them. 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.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, NOV 16, 1912. The Republican Negro office holders are pretty well fixed anyhow. It begins to look as if the colored brother will have pretty fair sailing with the new administration. The G. O. P. is not nearly dead. Signs are in evidence that it will rise from its "ashes" more resplendent than ever. If the ten-cent stores sold food as cheaply as they do everything else, the poor people's problem would be at last solved. Thanksgiving Day has been proclaimed. Keep the event in mind if you expect to live up to that day's reputation. Evidently the Cleveland (Ohio) friends of Jack Johnson also think they are rubbing it in on him at Chicago. They promise to furnish bond in the sum of $100,000, giving the kind of security "denominated" by the court. The Democratic colored brethren will not have the same difficulty in getting to the pie counter as the Republican colored brethren have had. They will be persistent enough all right, but their number is small, so the allotted amount may give satisfaction. The Bulgars et al. are thundering at the gates of Constantinople. Turkey is dealing direct with the enemy for an armistice. It may mean that the king of the Bulgarians will not find it necessary to treat with the Turk in the Turk's capital, as he recently declared. There's no sense in Brother Vardaman or any of the other Southern brothers coming up to Washington with any Negro elimination measures. We hope the thing will never be heard of again. Aain't there enough to be glad about without botherin' after us "poah" colored folks? The police made a big catch last Monday night of the boys who toll not. Every now and then the Avenue—Indiana Avenue—grows a little thick with a class of folks who seem to have too much leisure. At such times the police are noted for their activity. They are given to making sudden sweeps, in which they are more or less successful. The catch last Monday night was considered rather good sized. The boys pleaded not guilty in court. The judge simply smiled. The boys will have to get good. There are many men that are of a poor condition, and who are not responsible for it. Some have been unjustly reduced in their affairs by sources the most unexpected. Even the courts, the very palladium of justice, have been known to unjustly strip men back to nothing. Good, earnest, hard-working politicians have seen themselves outclassed and distanced by others less worthy than themselves. But these are only the incidents of the train of progress, and expected since the world began. Yet these are the ones that give strength to causes of the kind led by Mr. Roosevelt. Revenge is stronger, more persistent than love. Mr. Roosevelt was the high priest of the cult which was glad enough of the illustrious leadership. John Schrank, who shot Theodore Roosevelt, in pleading guilty to the charge in court at Milwaukee, tried to distinguish between an assault on Roosevelt as a menace and an attack on Roosevelt as a citizen. He said: "I did not mean to kill a citizen. I shot Theodore Roosevelt because he was a menace to the country. He should not have a third term. It is bad that a man should have a third term. I did not want him to have one. I shot him as a warning that men must not try to have more than two terms as President. I shot Theodore Roosevelt to kill him. I think all men trying to keep themselves in office should be killed; they become dangerous. I did not do it because he was a candidate of the Progressive party, either, gentlemen." It is not very likely that the court will recognize the fine distinction made by Mr. Schrank. THE REAL PROGRESSIVE PARTY. The Progressive party leaders evince considerable elation because of the large vote given Mr. Roosevelt, holding that it signifies the progress of the new party, when in fact the vote was not wholesome, healthily large, but abnormal, unhealthy large. It will not stand up under the true tests as to what makes for party progress in the sense of permanency. There were in- deed many honest thousands who thought to see relief from their notions of political illis in the new party movement. But vastly more thousands saw the movement as an opportunity to pay old scores—to get back at the old parties, the Republican party especially, for failing to come through according as they would have them do. These had no Utopian dreams of a nation's betterment; they were the discontents, the sore, the left-overs of the years, but who had had no opportunity to strike in the name of personal revenge. It is natural enough that in time there would be those who from various causes would break with their parties. Good, earnest political workers have seen those less efficient than themselves, less worthy, pass on to rewards, while they grew old waiting for their turn—listening for the call that was never sounded. Even that model citizen Brutus was finally convinced that something was being put over him; he swerved from his plumb of political probity—for the good of the state—joined the throng of malcontents, ending in their work at the base of Pompey's Pillar. Many a citizen has finally turned Brutus after brooding over defeats and disappointments. These eagerly embraced the opportunity, in this case, succeeding in bringing down the Republican party, saying, peradventure, that they did not love the party less, but the country more. This burst of "patriotism" was influenced by the same things in Caesar's time. Men were defeated and crushed; the years rolled up their great accumulations as they have done in our times. Then, as now, is but an illustration of the ways of civilization, where competition is the word in all things, the crushed and defeated being merely the incidents. Then the hero worshipers are to be reckoned with—the too ephemeral who are influenced by the magic of a name rather than the efficacy of ministrations emanating from orderly, thoughtful government void of the spectacular with its doubtful consequences. When these various elements are stricken out, including those swayed by the merely what's in it, the Progressive party will resemble a yesterday's banquet. The disappointed are no more hopeful, the sun of heroslam as it concerns our political affairs is in eclipse, the mere mercenary has found that the Midas touch has lost its cunning. The great vote, we think, has resolved to its original elements, and without the power of remobilizing. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON LEADS THE WORLD. Dr. J. W. Barrett, member of the board of governors, University of Melbourne, Australia, in an article which recently appeared in the Melbourne Argus, states: "It really looks as if he (Booker T. Washington) had led the world from the educational point of view." JACK JOHNSON AND THE COURTS: We are not sufficiently on to the kinks of the law to appreciate the difference between a cash bond of $40,000 and one of securities to that amount. It seems to us that they are pushing Jack Johnson too hard in the matter of his bond. The law, the court in this instance, seems to have taken on individual qualities, pursuing the champion in a way not warranted by the custom of courts. We have opposed and abused Jack Johnson quite as much as anyone else as it concerns his relations with white women. But at that we have not forgotten that the baffled and beaten champion has some rights; not more than other men, but as many. We can not see that it is up to the law or court to see that Jack Johnson does not get Lucile Cameron, as much as we are opposed to it. We oppose it not as a thing of right and wrong, but as a matter of sentiment, knowing the general opposition to mixed relations and the possible bad effect on society as it is now constituted. We are opposed to the Johnson-Cameron mix-up, knowing what it means for the woman in the end. We are opposed to it because of the vast difference between the races from the viewpoint of race types, viewing this, however, from the white man's side, and seeing it as he sees it—sympathetically. With all this opposition, and which we think is generally shared by the race, we are nothing with a court that is too readily influenced by sentiment growing out of racial feelings. The recall of judges is suggested by such cases—judges becoming prosecutors, persecutors, and all the rest of it. Johnson has no right to work past punishment if guilty as charged. It will strike the average observer, however, that he might walk around enjoying his freedom if he can pay for it, just as other men do. PEORIA, ILL. Rev. S. B.

The team of Boyd and Boyd opened here last Monday at the Dallas Theater. It is one of Dallas' favorites. The team of Sanford and Overstreet scored a hit with the music and dancing act. Lovie Wightman, our famous comedian, wrote the lyrics for a new song, entitled "Never Let the Same Gal Sail" and the same songs angered the music and it was certainly a scream. Miss Maud Cook, one of Dallas' favorite girls, appeared last time she and Wightman took the house by storm, singing "Lovie Lead." Their wardrobe was grand. Miss Ada A. Greer has started every man, woman he has singing "All Night Long." It seems as though she has got tired of hearing it. Our concert stetra cannot be beat.

There was something a little too clever for a State street audience, when Bond. Morse, one of the cleverest Joke comedians who ever visited the South Side, came upon the stage. All of his koods were Clean cut and far above the Average, so far that only witty. people could conceive them. “Other people on the ‘bili were Carroli_ Keating. and Dy- ef, two funny rubes and a mezzo singer. ‘The DeGray comedy quartette was quite entertaining and Beck and Henry played a return and danced to satisfaction. ‘The second half of last week had another strong bill.

Mr. Green did good vocal work ina love scene duett with Miss Johnson, And Master Pugh made a big, hit in ‘That's ‘Why ‘They Call Me Shine” and his danc- ing ‘was nimble, but his exit should not be eccentric. ‘The act itself only qual- iMes as a burlesque show sketch; but entertains nicely. ‘The Hendersons and the Butlers, two new teams, made their first appearance and won favorable at- tention.

SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING. S. Tutt Whitney. New Orleans. Before beginning our engagement at the Temple theater, we learned that the John Rucker Stock Company had set us a rapid pace. Under the direction of such talented performers as John Rucker, J. Francis Mores, John Boone and Ervin Miller, the stock company is having a profitable run, and giving excellent satisfaction. The Smart Set Company played four nights at the beautiful Temple theater. The house was inadequate for the many people who desired to attend. Those who were fortunate enough to see "His Honor the Mayor" pronounced it the best show the Smart Set Company has yet produced. Mr. A. O. Smith, proprietor of the Chicago hotel, and Miss E. B. Smith, secretary and treasurer of the same establishment, tendered the entire Smart Set Company a most delightful banquet. The banquet was served in the commodious dining room of the Chicago hotel. The dining room was artistically decorated for the occasion. Some of the most prominent men of the Crescent City were in attendance. Geo. H. Mays, Jr., conspicuous in the affairs of Mound Bayou, Miss., officiated as toastmaster. Mr. Mays is an eloquent speaker. His bright and witty remarks were enjoyed by the entire company. Frank B. Smith, attorney-at-law, and I. Hamilton Brooks, head-walter of the St. Charles, made short speeches, from which the company derived much benefit and encouragement. J. Homer Tutt, Miss Blanche Thompson, Marie Wayne Townsend, Leigh Whipler, Russell Smith and Yours Truly, made appropriate responses. A feature of the evening was the recitation of Paul Lawrence Dunbar's poems by Miss Hattie Akers. Miss Akers is a member of the company and an eloctunist of rare ability. Mr. Smith is an ideal hotel proprietor. His pleasing personality and effervescent humor make it a genuine pleasure for one to be a guest of the Chicago hotel. Mr. Smith is a small man with ideas wholly out of proportion to his body. He is planning to erect another Chicago hotel on the present site. The building will be eight stories high, contain 325 rooms, and be erected at a cost of $600,000. Stock will be sold at $1.00 per share. This is but the inception to erect a series of hotels in ten of the largest cities of the United States, at a cost of not less than $500,000 each. The company, of which Mr. Smith is president, is capitalized at $2,000,000. Mr. Leigh Whipper, who enacts the difficult role of Major Jinks, the one-legged war veteran, celebrated his (?) birthday while in New Orleans. He was the happy recipient of many beautiful presents. Mr. Whipper is the son of the late Judge J. W. Whipper, of Beauford, S. C. At present Mr. Whipper resides in Washington, D. C., with his sister, Dr. I. R. Whipper. FRANK HENDON INFORMS STAGE- STRUCK GIRLS. This is Also Interesting to Geeks- Slanguage Diet Classically Served. Public halt! No, no, not a bunch of holdup men; not even a bunch of politicians. But an attractive lobby display, all compiled by the "get the grapes" Billy McClain, will compel you to apply the brakes to your powers of locomotion if you attempt to promenade by the Indiana theater, which is located on upper Indiana avenue. The lobby is dressed up in a suit of pennyarcade machines, but there is the dearth of a faithful coaxer standing out in front doing a magnetic talking act, plus tolling the bell. "None of that stuff," says Mr. McClain, "there are lots of belles in town and when I'm ready I'll get them all and don't have to give them any rings." Boxing in the first, second and third degree. Not only that but they fix you up as a pug while you wait. I'll not take up your time describing this modern amusement spot, for it would take hours to tell one-third of the numerous curiosities. Therefore, I would advise any old maid to bet her pincushion against a shiftless rounder's pair of cigarette butts that the house has "got 'em." A few years ago Mr. McClain had the misfortune of getting wound in a French-flavored whirlwind, which landed him safely in Paris. While over there, he developed actors, managed stock companies and some say he even put on state fairs, state of affairs or something of that sort. They may be mistaken about the state of affairs, but what's the "diff?" as Billy can do anything. We all know his reputation went skyward when he became Sam McVea's manager, for he was then able to stage doings to suit himself. At different times he would dish out in courses the most delicious brand of boxing contests imaginable. For instance, we will say "A La Billy." Isn't that Frenchy? He was a broad-minded chap, too, as broad as a Broadway Lord. What did narrow pugilist do, While Billy was abroad? Mr. J. J. Jeff was then champion, Mr. J. A. Johns was hoping to reach the same. The latter sufficiently wormed himself into the "Dominion of Prominence" to get a little notice. The sport scribes then called him the big smoke. Mr. Jeff, believing in the old saying, "where there is so much smoke there must be some fire," drew the color line. I don't know what color it was, but it surely must have been of a gay hue, for Mr. Jeff was in California when he drew it, and Battling Nelson was somewhere in the New England states, but spied it immediately and jumped on the safe side of it. When this strategic performance was pulled off, Nelson had already overshadowed Gans' claim on the lightweight title, and the newspapers were seconding the motion. As to money, Gans was as low as a toad frog multiplied by disgust. A Hereford, Gans' old manager, and a gentleman, who, I think, is well versed on "getrichquickology," had told him to him. Hereford used to hand Gans a bunch of sweet talk, and if Gans even smiled, Al would take the encore, but he would come back with a pantomime stunt "—presto change, bing! vip! a lemon," and Gans was never able to understand where it sprang from. After Gans was presented with the last lemon it put him under a great strain. He took the bunches of sweet talk and the lemons that Al used to give him and made lemonade. Went to Al under this strain. Al took the strainer; strained the lemonade; made use of the filtrate and left Joe for the results. Nelson at this time was flying almost as high as the comet, but the great ringmaster soon loomed up in the horizon of the Battler's ambition. They signed, and the fight was pulled off in a little state out West where the people believe in freedom. Some dissatisfied couples have called this little state a paradise. I call it emancipation spot, just because it has Reno. Now for the fight. When it comes to taking punishment, Nelson has got all other little fellows hammered to a hopeless murmer. Gans handed him enough knockout drops to send any other lightweight to Slumberville for an indefinite period, but the Battler seemed to accept them with gratitude. Joe pounded him in the face, but Bat didn't flinch, which is plain proof that he had a bunch of cheek. Joe sent a multitude of sleep producers to Bat's jaw. The latter blushed like a village maiden on proposal night. Right here I want to say that had Nelson lived in the days of yore, Sampson could have used his jaw instead—well, anyway, he's got some jaw. We all know how the fight ended. There is no more talk about Nelson; Gans has gone; but there could have been no prizefighter died who would have been more universally mourned than Joe Gans. Now, girls, you all know about Jack Johnson's affairs, therefore, I'll not worry you with that part of pug history, but if you ever want to get the inside dope on other hidden mysteries. I'm yours for interrogation. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS. (By Billy E. Jones.) Bledseaux and Claybrooks presented the Florida Troubadours Company, of twelve epeople, at the Broadway theater, Passaic, N.

The objects of the corporation are stated as follows: The particular business they propose to carry on as such corporation is a general theatrical business, including the buying, operating, equipping, leasing, maintaining and conducting theaters and show houses of any kind and character for the presentation to the public of vaudeville, minstrel, opera and other similar performances and shows and of moving pictures.

Pettitioners desire the right to establish other offices in such other places in the state of Georgia, and in the United States without the state of Georgia, as the proposed corporation may desire at any time. They desire the right to have and use a common seal, to plead and to be impleaded, and to make all necessary by-laws and regulations for the governing of said corporation, and to do all other things that may be necessary for the successful carrying on of said business. They desire the right to execute notes and bonds as evidence of indebtedness incurred or which may be incurred in the conduct of the affairs of the corporation, and to secure the same by mortgage, security deed or other form of lien under existing laws. A publication of Mr. Joel's city, in speaking of him and his venture, says: "Mr. L. D. Joel, who is the promoter of the new enterprise, and who will be its largest stockholder, has achieved a wonderful record as a theater man in the last five years. Mr. Joel is the original builder and operator of show houses for colored people in the South. He operates a large number of theaters exclusively for colored people throughout the South, and has his headquarters in Atlanta. Mr. Joel also has the exclusive booking of colored performers throughout the South, and in this way controls the movements of the colored profession. One of Mr. Joel's theaters, the Central, located on Central avenue, in this city, is the largest and finest exclusive colored theater in the United States." Mr. Joel is well and favorably known by the colored performers generally. They speak in the best terms of him. YOUNGSTOWN. OHIO.

THE CLANGOROUS GATES HEAVE TO ON THE FESTIVE CHAMP—HIS REDUCING THOUSANDS AS COUNTERFEIT. Baseball in California—Rube Foster's Men Meeting With Fine Treatment Columns of Newspaper Talk—Playing the Games of Their Lives. (By Billy Lewis.) It is with great regret that in following the fortunes of Champ Jack I find it necessary to speak of him as he is today baffled and beaten by the courts in an effort to be at liberty. He should have known that the eyes of envy and prejudice were on him, and that it was up to him to walk as circumspect as it was possible for him to do consistent with his mode of life. It was enough that he snatched from the white race one of its most coveted trophies. Had he worn his honors quietly, as Joe Gans wore his, rather than making an effort to put it over everybody, today he would be walking the streets of Chicago admired and respected. But no; he must have automobiles, more than one. He drove them in a spirit of defiance. And this was tolerated in a kindly spirit. He was let off with light fines, light reprimands because he had undeniably won a place for himself that compelled at- $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

I have in my possession a prescription for men who simply lack memory and time back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men and brought them without any additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and deeply, has been determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. The physician who comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surreacting combination for the cure of delinquent manhood and vigor failure ever put to rest. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and disillusioned can drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E. Robinson, $3831 Luck Building, Dr. A. E. Robinson, $3831 Luck Building, you a copy of this spilled envelope and a ordinary envelope free of charge.

He seemed to be obsessed with the idea that he was to be a sort of pacemaker for the Negro race, proving what merit and grit could do. He assaulted the unwritten law of non-amalgamation, his crowning victory. Not that others are not in the same boat. The woods are filled with "mixed marriages," but they are not advertised by men in high places. He failed to reckon with the growing disposition right among his own folk to give the white people a wide berth in this matter, thus he found himself between two fires, the "sinning" being such as to put him beyond redemption. But at that, he was making it fairly enough until he proved that he had a method in his madness—in the persistence of wooing white women. Johnson laid on the last straw when he took on the Cameron girl. He broke the camel's back. Rage that had smothered and smouldered long—the old fires that had died down, long since soothed to sleep by the magic touch of the Johnson wand—revived, and are now fanned by the gusts of passions that promise to cease when he has drained his cup of bitterness. *** The champion has shown up as of the two extremes of mankind—a lion, a lamb. When in his elements, before the yelling thousands of the arena, he withstood the shock of colliding battleships, laughing 'mist the battle's brunt as laughs the stormy petrel in the teeth of old ocean's gale. When in humiliation before the law his great rigid soul reduces as metal teased beyond endurance by the passionate flames. But the steeled fangs of the law were as ruthless as the grave which refuses to give up its own. The old passions have done their work and our champion has suffered the thing he so much dreaded—the taint of a prison cell. It may be that they are rubbing it in on Jack just a little strong. I rather think so. I am not on to the laws on such offenses as he is charged with, but it seems that he might have been kept out of jail, since he could furnish a sufficient bond. I am not in sympathy with Johnson's escapades, but I have sympathy to some extent for Johnson, the individual, freed of his escapades. I am not on to the difference between the value of a cash bond or one guaranteed by property. If a cash bond simply anticipates Johnson's flight with the woman and that condition (a cash bond) is imposed at the judge's discretion to prevent such a flight then the judge had very little to do. It does not seem reasonable that the court should anticipate Johnson's intent, even if it were his avowed purpose of dropping the entire $30,000. Men are given to flying $30,000 bonds? not much. To me it appears that the law, the court, should have no cognizance of Johnson's intent, even if he declared it himself. That's an extreme position, but I think it is right. We, the people, are not interested, if we know what's good for us in persecution, but prosecution. Johnson's case is getting dangerously near to persecution if it is not there already. Johnson's actions are not being upheld by Negroes anywhere, but we, everyone of us, will soon think that Johnson is being maltreated right in the courts. I have nothing in common with the recall; nor do the actions of one judge or two or forty judges prove the necessity. At the proper time, or through the proper authorities those needing to be recalled should go. The system of government need not be "busted" up owing to the conduct of a judge. If the individual suffers in the instances, there are yet higher courts that can help righten; failing there, and there, then the basic principle is bad, and our country will be no place for free men. Johnson is a Negro; he has done much to merit, much of what he is getting. But it is hardly necessary to impose the last condition of humiliation. If the woman is meant to be saved from Johnson's clutches, the court may rest assured that he will run from her when he sees her. If he ecourt means to punish him under the "white slave" law act, it acts extraordinary when it scours heaven and earth to find evidence, going into ancient history, so to speak. If the court means vengeance regardless of the custom of courts, and because popular sentiment sustains, then it has forgotten its purpose of existence. The courts are to protect those whom others would devour; they are not to go into the devouring business themselves. Passion has no part to play there, nor memory, nor anything excepting the cold evidence and the usual court procedure. Rube Foster's team, the American Giants, now in Los Angeles, Cal, is carrying everything before it. It is getting such fine treatment that it is doubtful whether the fellows will care to get over the Rockies again very soon. The coast papers do not spare ink when doing sport. The Los Angeles Times not long since was redolent with the doings of the team and the boys, all on red paper. Elsewhere will be seen how generous the publications are in criticisms THE PRBEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER as well as space. Splendid cuts of the players are seen. Perhaps nothing like the attention has been given Negro players before. The writers poke some fun, true enough, but in the meanwhile they don't omit the fine and worthy points. The treatment is but little different to that given the best white clubs in the East. Such expressions as "White men must play to beat the brunettes" were fair enough. They showed a respectful consideration of the men, and struck off a situation which was keyed up highly—in the games' interest. The white men did not play enough ball—Rube's team put it over the McCormicks to the tune of three games to one up until this time. This is a partial report of the second game: "Both teams played fast ball and the 2,500 fans in the bleachers cheered themselves hoarse as their favorites, the Giants, came romping home with the honors of the day. "The big feature of the game was the wonderful pitching of the Giants' twirler, who allowed only four hits and one run. Lindsay is the colored slabster's name, and he further humiliated the McCormicks by scoring ten strikeouts against their best stickers." * * * The Giants opened what is known as the California Winter League in Los Angeles, losing to the McCormicks in the first game, 8 to 5. The league is made up of only four teams: The McCormicks, the Tufts-Lyons, the San Diego and the American Giants. The Giants is the only colored team in the league. The percentage column is featured. It looks as if Rube's team will win the pennant. It took the second and third games by scores of 3 to 1 and 4 to 3. Ten innings were required for the third game. AMERICAN GIANTS BEST McCORMICKS IN SECOND GAME AT LOS ANGELES. McCormicks Took the First Game and Rube's Men Second and Third. The McCormicks defeated the American Giants on the Doyle diamond before a large attendance of fans by a score of 8 to 5 in the opening game of the California Winter League.

The Giants brought in their first tally in the first inning when Barber scored, but were tied in the second when Whalen let a fly get past him and Goodman crossed the plate for the McCormicks. The Giants came back with two more tallies in the fourth, when Pierce knocked one over the fence and brought in Taylor from second. These were the last scores, as both twirlers tightened up for the rest of the fracas. Score: McCormicks.

Prospects Bright for a Strong Organization—Meeting Place at Bethel Church. The Young People's Forum held its first regular meeting last Sunday afternoon at Bethel A. M. E. church. The meeting was called to order by its president, Walter Price. Prof. C. H. Johnson, of the University, addressed the organization in a forceful and explanatory manner on temptation. The public's response to call of the pro tem organization is encouraging, and the organization are very bright in making the Forum an exponent in developing better citizens. BETHEL CHURCH NOTES. Last Sunday was a remarkable day at Bethel. In the morning the pastor deliver an excellent sermon on the subject, "Asking for a Cloak." A large conference was held at the Sunday school was well attended, and the collection was good. At 4 o'clock the Young People's Forum was organized, and Prof. Co. Johnson, the professor of the forceful university, was the speaker. The attendance was good, and the promise for a useful and interesting society is encouraging. In the evening a large congregation sat in the church. The senior and junior choirs rendered delightful music. Tomorrow the pastor will preach in the morning on the subject, "Jesusman." The pastor will confer with the Co. Queringing Faith. All are cordially invited. Don't forget the coal rally! WOMAN'S CIVIC CLUB NOTES.

Two of our teachers were refused sodas in the new five-course glassware at a glass馆. At Huder's drug store sodas for colored people are unfit to drink. We think that the city administration should do something for the colored people, but only officers a few, but privileges for the mass—the guaranteed right of a citizen in any place open to him is ambiguous and you desire her to have a college education, see that she enters "Latin Center. Ask her teacher about her studies of Miss Melma Beck, a student at Butler College. Miss Beck is a graduate of Shortridge. The American Negro has had three hundred druggies.

Mr. Dr. Joshua Stansfield delivered a powerful address to the monster meeting last Sunday. He spoke at length upon "As a Man Thinketh." Mr. S. Echols Payne sang a beautiful tenor There was a large amount of enthusiasm shown as man after man accepted a captaincy. The readiness they accepted meant desire to orphan their various teams, but too plainly shows the vigor with which this campaign will be pushed. It is the noose of the association, where it is the mission of the association is over and the cheering has ceased, it will be found that the Indianapolis colored department will be sure to lead the work among our order branches. If we will have gymnasium with its suspended running track, bowling alley, shower baths, ing and bathing facilities, will illiard an association is worth the while of joining.
