(Freeman Bureau, 3000 State Street, Phone Douglass 8058; Automatic 72-384.) CHICAGO, IL., Feb. 18. (Special. Hon. George W. Ellis, orator, statesman, writer and formerly secretary to the American legation in Monrovia, Liberia, was the principal speaker at Bethel Literary on last Sunday afternoon, where he spoke on the occasion of the annual celebration of the birth of the great Emancipator. The main auditorium of the church was filled with Chicago's most select and representative people. He promoted the finest and most prominent addresses that has ever been delivered at Bethel Historical and Literary Association. On the program were Mrs. Maud Nevelle, Mrs. A. Jackson, Mrs. Carole Carson, Bethel Breacher Martin, Attorney Edward H. Wright and Miss Bertha Moseley read the emancipation proclamation. Mr. L. W. Washington spoke on "Bishop Allen, His Life and Character." He began with the birth of Bishop Allen and the birth of the great A. M. E. church and what it has had grown from a membership of sixteen to 2,000,000, with fifty- GEO. W. ELLIS. colleges, 6,054 churches, eleven general officers and sixteen bishops. The speaker paid a glowing tribute to the religious and moral worth of Bishop Allen's life and character upon the Afro-American of today. President "Hits" introduced Attorney Edward H. Wright to present Mr. George Ellis, who was the speaker of the day. Mr. Ellis began by saying: "American men began to believe in the power of justice. The slimy serpents of cruelty and injustice have again thrust their polished shafts into the quivering heart of the American nation. In new forms the government has become more powerful, our food for justice. The ideals and institutions of the greatest democracy on earth are again subjected to the crucial themselves from the dire and dangerous consequences of our own injustice." The whole world listens to answer. What shall the answer be?" he touching on the significance of the mission for forth in eloquent terms Lincoln's service to the unity of man, Democracy's aid to Lincoln, Lincoln's contribution to Christianity, Lincoln's grasp of the nation's crisis, Lincoln's message to white America, Lincoln's service to the unity of all the white man's wrongs and injustice, we have made an unparalleled effort of progress and achievements not like some tale of romance or nation. We have adopted this broad land from Maine to New York to the Gulf, with happy homes and our own, and increased our nothing to nearly $2,000,000,- a sum equal to the combined international trade. We have shed our blood for the war fought that Cuba should be free and are still loyal to the ideals and country. To the great of the world we have noted Negroes; we have given our painting, Cook and White to Mary Warrick-Fuller to sculpture, John Bailen and Bowen, to thought scholarship, Johnson, Braithwait and author to poetry, Brathwait and Dr. Negroge to education. --- two of the greatest men which this country trv has ever produced. "Indeed, we have come from the best colleges and universities of this and other forms of life and culture. We appreciate the beauty of Homer, describing the Fall of Troy and of Odyssey, sighing in his wondering for the love and peace of home. We appreciate the beauty of Homer, describing the march of a soul from sin to affection. We fancy we see John Milton, soaring amid the crysophanes clouds forming in the sunlight come floating by, where the lightnings laugh and drag the muttering thunder athwart the enchanting strains of angels singing 'Paradise Lost' and 'Paradise Regained.' "We shudder with Macbeth at the commission of murder, lured by the glittering fire of the sword, by the barkwood to the dreadful field of Dunsinane. We sympathize with Lear in the pangs of filial ingratitude as he feaints and falls in love with his wife, and tootter with Hamlet in the fierce tumult of that storm which raged and beat against the thromb in Elishore. We are all men, worthy of zenens. We will neither be exported nor segregated, and we are determined to be free. Then, shall we creep and crawl craven words? Our own poet answers. Lincoln Celebration at Orchestra Hall. Miss Jane Addams Speaks. Miss Jane Addams, who is regarded as the greatest woman in the world, was the first speaker. She said: "We have failed in the ideals of the emancipator, we can never liberate the liberties this fifty years hence many of them will have been accomplished." Continuing she said: "No doubt the men who gave political freedom to the liberties of others have been accomplished. If there is a disappointment in the breasts of any here tonight it is because those emancipators did not realize the problems to come from the emancipators set themselves for a great task then, so must we set ourselves for the new emancipation, the wider freedom and opportunity that can come through the effort of love, patients and patriotism."

One is the building of a large concrete, two-story house. The house is as a recessed room and lunch room and the secret floor is to be occupied by the superintendent. Further, they are preparing to drill an exceptionally deep well, as it has been found that the water is exceptionally high. The law apportioned also pleased to announce that the much-needed vault has been contracted for and operations will be begun upon it as soon as the building is completed. We are informed that many of the coloceries in which we work the manner in which one of the white cemeteries is endeavoring to "jim crow" them. They are awakening to the fact that they have been persuaded, through misrepresentations made by those handling their dead, to allow them to be interred in a certain location. We are using only for Negro dead and pauper white funerals. They are now more certain than ever that Mount Glenwood is the cemetery for them. The New Dance Prof. Grafiel Wilson and his charming wife are responsible for many of the newest and most popular dances in this city; in fact they are two of the most graceful dancers in the Northwest. Mrs. Wilson and her husband, also a long ago demonstrated his ability as an instructor. Recently he modified the Tango dance and now the Chicago people are wild about it. On last Friday night, Mr. and his wife (also named "Hesitation") For grace out beauty, it is by far the best seen here for some time. With music especially arranged by Mr. Wilson for the dance, they took the floor and within a few minutes, seen the dance in full and all were gliding swan-like over the smooth floor at Masonic Holl. Every Friday evening the class is largely attended by some of the best of Chicago. At a later date, Mr. Wilson was invited to dance that is expected to eclipse any that has been introduced in years. One of the big features of the evening is the large orchestra which is under the direction of Prof. Sleger. There is no better in Chicago. For a delightful evening, just drop in the Douglass dancing class on Friday nights. Chorus at Quinn Chapel.

Benjamin Roberts is pastor, Dr. Herald Fears is the young physician, and it is said that he has a good practice, the prowess of the public schools, Powells, Huggards, Ward Finley, Stewart, Bragg, Vaughn, and Joseph Haitcoch is the wealthy building contractor. Mrs. Cora Ash is assistant principal of the public schools, and Mrs. Finley and Mrs. Roberts are expert manicurists.

Dunbar Club The Dunbar Club is the social organization where the people have often assembled for social purposes. They are now moving to more appropriate quarters. Dr. Daniel H. Williams Wields the Blade. (D. Wellington Berry.) Special to The Freeman NASHVILLE, Tenn. Feb. 14.—Dr. Daniel H. Williams, the eminent Negro surgeon of Chicago and chief clinical instructor at the Maharry Medical College here, presided over the annual surgical clinic held here last week for the benefit of the medical students. The clinic was by far the most successful ever held in the entire history of the Maharry College, forty patients having been treated and all of the operations except four having been capital cases. Up to the present no deaths have occurred, but in the country every patient is likely to be recovered and all are expected to be entirely well within a very short space of time. More than half of the patients operated upon during the clinic came from other states than Tennessee, having been brought to Nashville by practicing physicians and graduates of Maharry, who have been patiently awaiting the time to come when they should have their sufferings relieved through the skilful wielding of the surgeon's knife in the hands of Dr. Williams, who has been remarkably successful in this connection on each of his yearly visits South. Many out-of-town physicians journey to Nashville each year may be stated when not having any of the skills to be benefited and receive inspiration by witnessing the brilliant work performed during these clinics and this was also true of the one just held. The full realization of this, the greatest and most successful annual clinic in the school's history is contributed also several weeks ago of the new $50,000 Hubbard Hospital, which stands as a monument to the venerable dean, Dr. George M. McGillen, M.D., McGillen College, to whom credit is most due for the existence of more than half of the Nego physicians, dentists and pharmacists throughout the Southwest, who have been seriously equipped with every appliance and convenience known to the medical profession and will be the more fully appreciated when it is known that much of the work we did well were given by Negroes throughout the South, graduates and friends of Meharry and Walden University. The public will doubtless appreciate the fact more fully also when it is learned that the suffering alleviated as a result of these annual activities cost to the patients, no operation fee being charged and but a small hospital fee expected. Thus it may be seen that much suffering is incurred as well as the result of the spread of the knowledge and science of medicine accomplished among those participating. Of the local staff the following well-known physicians and surgeons had cases and performed operations at the clinic: Drs. F. A. Stewart, J. A. McMillan, J. H. Hale, J. T. Wilson, G. Bandy, T. Noel, H. H. Walker and Walls. The chief assistants were the following seniors and house officers: Wilkins, David, Chatman, Saunders, Dr. Wilkins, Dr. F. D. Bradford administered the anaesthetics in most of the cases, having performed this service in a most accustomed and safe manner under Dr. Josie E. and Miss C. C. Hunt, head nurse, following nurse, percussion, and the operating room, also, and received great credit and high praise for their efficiency and painstaking efforts: Miss S. C. Hunt, head nurse, Julia Little, Mary Penn, Allen and Lula Woolfork. Miss C. C. Hunt, the efficient head nurse, came to the hospital from the England Hospital for Sick Children and splendid executive ability the institution is already becoming recognized as being one of the best institutions of its kind the co-operative graduate of the Eye and Throat Infirmary of Boston, Mass, and a native of Ringold, Tasmania. Her work here at the clinic was much of the real success of the clinic just held is generously accorded her by the numerous surgeons who had cases during the clinic, and especially Dr. Williams, who has and large experience in this profession.

The echoes of a movement has reached Hawaii, where Hawaiian purpose of which is to have Mr. Charles A. Cottrill, of Ohio, retained as collector of internal revenue. The effort in Mr. Cottrill's behalf is fostered by the most influential members of the colored. They say that Mr. Cottrill has made a capable, considerate and progressive official and fear that a change might disturb the very satisfactory commercial interests of Hawaii has spoken on many important occasions at Honolulu and has made a fine impression as an orator and has become known as a delightful gentleman to meet, both formally and informally, with Hawaiians are asking that he be retained indefinitely by the Wilson administration. --- Anti-Miscegenation Bill Passes House Anti-Miscgegenation Bill Passes Houce. Some consternation was felt in the District Monday when he became known that the house was being intermarried of Caucasians with Negroes, Mongolians, Malays, etc., a felony in the District, Columbia. It is confidently evidence that the measure will be killed in the senate. The agitation for jim-crow street cars is still on, but no one believes such a bill will be passed. For it is confined to elements that count for little among the people that do things worth while in Washington. Public meetings are to be held to protest against the bill, which tightens the color line in this community. Is Collector McKinlay To Go? If the plan of reorganization of the customs service recommended by the Treasury Department is adopted, the ports of Georgetown, Annapolis and Alexandria will be consolidated with the port of Baltimore, the collector at Baltimore becoming the head of the entire customs district of this vicinity.

The Washington Post of last Sunday contained an interesting article by Judge Harris Dickson, entitled "The Negro and the Law." It has a wide readership on the part of the colored citizens of the capital. The author holds that, since the Negro has no traditions behind him, a southern judge will not often punish him less severely for a given offense than he would punish a white or a writer. He shows up the dark side of the race picture in a ammer that is startling if not illuminating. Mr. P. J.

The real "white hope" is still "in the barrel." Stand by your friends, wherever you can find them. It takes two to make a quarrel. Don't be the other one. There is no love to be lost between the Negro and the labor unions. Philadelphia is the "logical point" for the next meeting of the B. M. C. Tuskegee Institute's new hospital will be a big thing for the entire South. Let us have short sermons, short editorials, short calls and short wafts for our money. Vocational training is the order of this modern hour. Get it, young man and young woman. It will be "Bishop" J. S. Jackson at the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion church in Louisville in 1916. The National Negro Press Association is here to stay. Did you read about the love-feast at Philadelphia, February 1? A floating paragraph says that W. T. Vernon claims that he can prove that Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, was a Negro. The congregation that stands highest in the esteem of a community is the one that does not ask the general public to satisfy its financial obligations. The state of Oklahoma shows signs of getting chesty. Both its black and white citizens seem to think pretty well of themselves as factors in the body politic. The flag sent by General Henry Forrest to the Atlanta meeting of the B. M. C. "stays put" on the monumental Odd Fellows' Temple in the Georgia metropolis. Dr. Benjamin Garland Shaw, the most successful Zion pastor that St. Louis has ever known, may be the next financial secretary of the A. M. E. Zion connection. For one whole month, Senator Newlands has been silent on the subject of the disfranchisement of the Negro. Is the distinguished Nevada statesman reforming? It has been shown by tests that government clerks have a stronger grip than managers in the laborers. They have to have that kind of a grip to hold on to their places. No law is needed on the subject of intermarriages of races. Not enough women in institutions have colored husbands to make the matter a burning national issue. Newspapers that are embraced in the National Negro Press Association are instructed by the Philadelphia meeting to carry a line in their columns stating the fact. The federal government is a great business institution—not a Bachanianian feast for spoils-hunters and professional politicians. To be true, it that President-to-be Wilson takes it. Governor Cole Blease, of South Carolina, says he won't take part in the inaugural ceremony because a Negro regiment parachute jumps over the line of march. Cole will not be missed. Mrs. W. T. Francis, a leader in the social life of St. Paul, recently raised a handsome sum of money among her friends for the benefit of Tuskegee Institute. She is president of the Woman's Federation in the State of Minnesota. W. C. Gordon, of St. Louis, is one colored man who knows how to help his own people in a way that will make one dollar do the work of ten. He gave $100 to Tuskegee Institute and has helped formed a cause that is making hundreds of real men year after-year. It may not be generally known, but it it one of the curious contradictions of life that the New York City Presidium hospital at Washington was Senator Benjamin Ryan Tillman, who is on record as saying more mean things about the black race than any other man in the country. A steam laundry, properly conducted, could be made a paying venture in any good-sized community. No white man draws on the power of an oven to prepare clean linen. The successful Negro business man is he who follows intelligently the line of the least resistance. Study out the steam laundry proposition. It is a three-room house. The inaugural address of President Wilson is awaited with breathless interest by the public. The tolerance is likely to be notable, both for what is said and for what may be omitted. From all that Mr. Wilson has said so far, the tolerance will abound in patriotism, progressivism and high-grade public spirit. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to tour the State of Washington. The Tuskegee Slope and the tour will do a mint of good in letting the people who see little of the Negro know that he is making his way to the front. Booker Washington is a pioneer unto the man born and is bound to do well in the state named after him. Norris Landcraft, a former slave, died leaving a large fortune. Among his holdings was the farm upon which he had served as a slave. He was eighty years old and had a large breast and not an object leaved in thrift, industry and frugality for the young free colored man of today, who claims he has no opportunity to rise? In Brooklyn a wealthy bachelor was invited to a dinner by Miss Anna Schultz. The bread on the table was to a superior bread, the healthy bread to a fellow love with it. After several visits, during which he ate more of the delicious bread, he concluded that life would be unbearable and the maker soon became the wife of the arent devotee of the bread. In Brooklyn a wealthy bachelor was invited to a dinner given by a maiden lady, who taught domestic science in one of the colleges of the tableau of a superior grade, and the wealthy bachelor immediately fell in love with it—and likewise with its amker. After several visits to Brooklyn, he realized that life would be unbearable without this delicious staff. The domestic science artist became a bride in short order. The moral is obvious. W. E. D. Stokes, the millionaire turman and fancy stock breeder of New York, was born in Ky., recently presented to Booker T.

There should be no hesitation about complaining to your landlord about unsanitary and lacking conditions in the house, and ask for a tenant deserves a home that please his eye and appeals to his sense of the fitness of things.

Washington so happily puts it, let us be trained and equipped to go down into the soil and get out the coal, iron, copper, and other metals that await the coming of the industrious and skilled hand of mankind. In Canada the government has official "liquor tasters," whose duty it is to go around the various bars and investigate the character of the whiskey, wine or beer that is for sale. For the jobs, there is always run for the jobs, and in instances, the applicants announce their willingness to work steadily at the job without any salary. Wonder what would happen if a few of these jobs could be created in a number of our principal cities? According to the child hygiene bureau of New York City, Negro babies are much better humored than babies of any other race.

A close study of certain events in recent months will convince the critics of Jack Johnson that he isn't a shade worse than the pitcher of the New York Giants. Yet papers have not one word of condemnation for the moral shortcomings of Marquard. However the pecadioleos of Nat Goodwin, Kid Kane and other others are passed over with a bare local mention.

Hart was a young man and believed implicit in the mission, but he was particularly fond of Frederick Douglass, "The Old Man Eloquent," it is said, was doubtful of the ability of a fledgling like Hart to make good at Porte-au-duper, and he suggested a quarter of an hour, and he suggested that an older man be allowed to go to Haiti, while he (Hart) could have the Recordership of deeds to a District five here in order to make a home. Hart informed his patron, Senator Evarts, that this arrangement/ would suit him and the promise for Haiti was withheld, and he would be put through. Evarts lost his "pull" at the White House. In the shifts that followed, Douglass was sent to the Haitian coast in the form of a mounted Brue as Recorder of Deeds.

SATURDAY, FEB 22, 1913 Regardless of the groundhog's prognostication, the weather has been alluringly delightful this week. We are persuaded as to our religious beliefs; we are wan as to our love. There is no room for coercion or mandatory laws on these points. Sydney Pittman, the well-known colored architect, has been directed by the Knights of Pythias of Texas to draw plans for a $150,000 temple to be erected in Dallas. Unless labor and building material are unusually high in that section, the amount of money voted ought to get a handsome structure. Such buildings furnish employment for many classes of workingmen, not to speak of the architect and contractor. The more of them, the merrier. The managers of the Colored People's Exposition in Pennsylvania had $20,000 voted them. Ten thousand dollars has been spent, and not even a site chosen. Four thousand dollars is on hand as a balance. And from all appearances, it will take the birds to tell of the $6,000. The managers have discovered that it would require $75,000 to put on a proper "show." At least, that's what's said. We Indians could paint the state red with just about half of that first amount. But we haven't had the heart to ask 'em—they are so close, don't you know. It will be too bad if the very first money appropriated by a state to aid an exposition movement has been foolishly spent. We hope it is not true, for with a precedent of the kind then goodbye to your aids by way of state appropriations for anything of the kind in the future. The state of Pennsylvania is trying to ascertain the whereabouts of that $20,000. One is reminded of those plundering Negro state congresses of the reconstruction days. Such money should have been religiously regarded. The use of every dollar should have been just and certain. Will Mr. Harry be able to make good? The Negro Press, a publication of Evansville, Ind., has stretched across its front page in big black letters: "Who is Mrs. Sadie B. Dungery?" Surely the lady has done something terrible in order to get such generous advertisement. Yet, we know nothing that would justify that great display. Of course, we don't know everything, and it may be that Mrs. Sadie has committed a horrible breach. She is prominent in the women's department of the Knights of Pythias, who, by the way, are in some kind of a stew involving Grand Chancellor Tiderington. The Grand Chancellor suspended the pet lodge, Marion No. 5, and the case is in court. But just how Mrs. Sadie is mixed in it gets past us. Report comes from Liberia, Africa, that the Kroo natives of that place have been defeated with great slaughter. The information is not so cheering in spite of the fact that it was a famous victory for the Negro republic. It seems to us that it would be better if it were news of the fraternizing of those people who are so similar, and who must find some way of getting along together. The fighting on the side of the Liberians was under Major Ballard, formerly of the United States army. It is reported that the Kroos were responsible for the presence of German gunboats in Liberian waters, owing to their ugly treatment of German residents. Consequently, it was necessary that the Liberian government act against the Kroos. Verily, the little republic has been born but a few days, and it is full of trouble. Harry W. Bass, who has been the chief promoter o the fife scheme in Pennsylvania for the celebration of the fifteenth anniversary of the colored people's freedom, is having quite a time in explaining what has become of the $20,000 voted for that purpose. A legislative committee waited on him, but Harry could only produce vouchers for $10,000. This, with his balance of $4,000, made him shy $6,000. He says that he needs only a little time to straighten out matters. From what is understood but very little headway has been made, if any at all, beyond a suite of room for the meetings of "de bode." According to the Courant of Philadelphia, the members had no idea where the thing is to be pulled off. No site has been selected. Now it is said the time is too short and that the $4,000 on hand is too small an amount to do anything with. The $10,000, it seems, has been ineffectively spent. Frederick Douglass, whose birthday is held to be the 14th day of February, was remembered also along with Abra- ham Lincoln and as George Washington will be remembered on the 22d. Time is helping some in pushing the great Douglass aside. And we are none too grateful by disposition. With these two opposing forces he is growing hazy and dim. The newer generations know very little of him, and seemingly care less. But it will be a long, long time before we are furnished with another of his likes. He was a giant in all ways. He was of splendid physique—a lion for true. His mastery of the English language was beautiful. He did not rave or claw the air. He put it out as it should have been done. He was a model statesman and orator, appearing the equal of any man in any congregation of men. He had absolutely no earmarks of his race. We almost feel to say as was said of Washington— "The first, the last, the best; The Cincinnatus of the West." He was no Cincinnatus, but if the rest is said of him, it will not go wide of the mark. THE PROPER PROCEDURE W. Calvin Chase, editor of The Washington (D. C. Bee, and a veteran journalist of thirty years standing, has the audacity to criticise a brother journalist for getting personal mention in the columns of the newspaper. He has said as anybody else that this is about all that he gets out of the publication of a race journal. We call this treason to the profession and ask that it be prosecuted, him on trial with T. Thomas Fortune of New York Age, as judge; Fred R. Moore, of the same publication, as sheriff; George L Knox, of the Indianapolis (Ind) Freeman, and ourselves as prosecuting attorney, be prosecuted. In Boston (Mass.) Guardian, and Chris J Perry, of the Philadelphia (Pa.) Tribune, as deputy sheriffs, and J. R. Clifford, of the Martinsburg Pioneer Press, as jailer, Nunn J. C. Smail of the Cleveland (Mass.) as appellate judge—The Planet, of Richmond, Va. We accept, and enter at once on our duties. First, we wish to congratulate ourselves on the distinguished collaboration; John Mitchell, editor-banker, who tenders his service in the interest of the prosecution. We wish to call the court's attention to this most unusual case. Mr. Chase is an editor of many years' standing, during which time he has done some good things, and then again he has done some things not so good. Notwithstanding the things indifferent and otherwise, we have allowed him to pass unchallenged as a rule. But, gentlemen (we mean the court)—Brother Mitchell might have named a jury, since it is a ground principle of our jurisprudence that the accused be tried by a jury of his peers—this, as we said, is such an unusual case, that of criticising a brother journalist for getting personal mention in the columns of his own journal, that the full penalty should be meted out to him. Had this been an outside individual, not affiliated with the craft, there might be something said in extenuation. But no, your honor, he was a fellow sufferer in this journalistic warfare. He knows well enough that if there ever were a class of men that needed kindly attention and soothing speech, it is the Negro newspapermen. And yet, what does he do? We repeat it, what does he do? Your honor knows what he has done. Now again we insist that he should have the total benefit of the law, which in this instance is an ample apology, refreshments (discretionary) and a generous mention of the offended brother at the most favorable opportunity. A GOOD THING TO LET ALONE. One Professor Foster, speaking at the fiftieth anniversary celebration recently held in Chicago, boldly proclaimed that amalgamation was the most logical solution of the race problem in the United States. It is said that he hails from the Sunny South and that his father fought in the Confederate army. It does not matter who the professor is, or what was the source of his origin; he has not helped to quiet the race struggle by his speech. If we wait on amalgamation for our betterment, Negro betterment in the sense of rights, privileges, opportunities we will be found waiting when Gabriel sounds his trumpet. While there is more theoretical tendency toward the thing of amalgamation, the practice is not any more common than it has been; perhaps, not so much. White men are growing more sleuthful, wary; not a few, but all of them; consequently, the black elimination process is moving very slowly. It will be believed that the theoretical tendency toward amalgamation is based on our theory of government—on a theory of government that is eminently proper—seeing races as citizens and not as peoples in severity. In this country made up wholly of race detachments, it cannot rightfully fall to any race to declare itself the "it" and from which all others are to take orders. Men, jealous of the integrity of the republic, concede nothing that would make it less than a republic; they stand for every Republican principle, meaning, in short, unsheared privileges for every citizen. Wholesouled Republicians oppose the interference of the government in the affairs of the citizen in such a way as to establish class favoritism. America was built on that rock, freedom of conscience in spiritual things. And love no less spiritual than religion. They are intangible things, refusing to be moulded this way or that way by the profaning touch of men's hands. As said before, these ultra-Republicans—and all should be so—do not contemplate having Negro relations. But in the event they saw fit to chose them, we think that they would say the same of restraining rules as Governor Blease of South Carolina said of the constitution. If we will preserve our republic in its best form, we will let the amalgamation business take its course. Interference will bring its own rewards, when men through resentment will reek the land with infamy—their retaliations for whitting down their rights. Invasion of rights in one instance means invasion again. For it may be set down in certainty if that overlord feeling obtains it will not be satisfied at merely limiting colored races; it will prove insatiable in its greed, until what is known as ruling classes will be a part of our new world heritage. Indeed, there is at present fear of that very thing, not withstanding the fact that we are the masters, not the servants, as was said THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the other day in a leading daily. And, true enough, the relations between people and officials are reversing. Officials are acting like proprietors, when their mission is to carry out the expressed will of the people and not to ram the unexpected down their throats. Take the Intermarriage measure passed by the lower house at Washington last week. By what warrant? By what authority, unless of that overlordism that is beginning to manifest itself unduly in our affairs? The bill was a surprise to even those who favor restriction. And if it were not, then so much the worse for it, since it would prove that it was the result of conspiracy—at race assassination. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL.

On entering this theater you are most met by the manager with a smiling face. If not, by the cashier who waits patiently and takes the ticket, a cat and a look for the manager. The next smiling face you see is that of Mrr. Middleton, the door man. This gentleman has been right there for a long time, so long that most everyone knows him. The show this past week was composed of Hills and Landers. The show has several good features in it. The chorus work, the quartet and sextet work was great. They held the boards all week. Lafayette Theater. You will remember that some weeks ago I mentioned this house as not being built for colored people, of which hundreds here know to eat a leaf. He has them stretched forth their arms to the colored folks, saying come. Where they used a colored act one in a whirl, they are now using four. They can't eat a leaf. The treat act of the past week was the Reese Brothers, "Happy Days in Georgia." On the bill were Mortimer Snow and company; Joe Goodman, Dora Patterson Trio, Clause Brothers and Jesse Jackson Trio, Shawnee. The treat act is very clever.

CHICAGO THEATERS. Good Bill at the Grand—Rosa Lee Tyler at the Monogram—Minstrels Rehearing. CHICAGO, ILL. (Special.) The Grand. Beautiful weather has caused the New Grand to have packed housewives week and week and week and week and standing room. The bill the first three nights of the week was an excellent one. The big attraction was the Great Leap. Behind him in the world's greatest delusionist. Moore THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTARTED COLORED NEWSPAPER. and Browning was another big singings and talking act with rapid fire talking and singing sessions to the large audience. Beckensteine's mule act, a new one in this section, is a corker. He is "unridable." McGinnis and his co-workers, coded in a very clever and do the "tape" splendidly. Helen Nelson and company is a skit that was well worth seeing and the moral was well worth hearing. He is the side of their life to young women and always protect them. New pictures and Dave Peyton's orchestra complete a well arranged bill which Mr. Duke had in store. The Monogram In big black letters hangs the name in front of the Monogram, Girwood and Tyler. Now the Tyler is Madam Rosa Lee Tyler, perhaps one of the most widely known women on the earth, still the most health and looks good, she always dresses well on the stage and her costumes this time are worth up in the hundreds. They have a splendid Honolulu act, but they sing Shelton Brooks' songs from the movie and—well, just see them, Stewart and Foster, Green and Marlowe and Davis and LeRoy are the others on the program. As usual, there was a white act. It was better this week than the cool colored acts out of the city can get work at this theater by writing Mr. Kline. Notes. Miss Sophia Tucker, the "Mary Garden of Ragtime," who is starring at the theaters in all parts of the city, will sing Mr. Dave Payton's new song, "My Loving Sugar Man." Messrs. Green and Tabor were the soloists at the Lincoln celebration on last Sunday. They rendered two selections that were loudly applauded. Mrs. Lottie Williams, who has starred in all of the Williams and Walker shows, is in the city to attend the funeral of her sister, Mrs. Shreeves. Mr. Dorsey is busy rehearsing with his company of singers for the carabret, of which he is manager. The announcement of Mr. Russell's new book, "The Devil in the See," was given an editorial announcement on the Chicago Dec. 11.

The minstrel will take place on Easter Monday night. Society people are getting ready for the occasion. Mr. Charles Washington, with much interest, states that the afternoons of the afternoon it is for the benefit of the Old Polks' Home, states that it will be bigger, better and grander than ever. MAJESTIC THEATER, COLUMBIA, MO. Stoval and Stoval are with us this week, and from the way the people proceed to pack the house the first night, we look for this to be our banner week. Stoval is a comedian in all that could be expected and able to sound a couple of sobrets, which being been in the show business a short time she is a topnotcher, and we expect to hear of her starring in some of the big attractions before very many months. Acts making Kansas City and St. Louis come up long jumps and high board bills by making the Malestic theater. "THE LADY BUCCANEERS." By Geo. Slaughter. LOUISVILLE, Ky—Messrs. Drew and Campbell's newest offering, "The Lady Buccaneers," which is billed to appear at the Buckingham theater next week, starting with the rest of the company J. C. Hanson, Harry Steppe, George Martin, Dick Maddox, Gertrude Ralston, Mabel Mahum and forty others who will be seen in a furiously funny, funny fares abounds in amusing comedy situations and pointed lines, and is conceded to be one of the best things in burlesque. The olo portion of the bill is claimed to be the most strongly strong and includes the well-known singer of character songs, Dick Maddox; Steppe and Martin, a more than usually clever sketch team, and the wonderful Loradoes. Seven Parisian artists' models direct their performances of classic poses that are claimed to be both beautiful and sensational in the extreme. There are no finer formed women in the world than the "Models" and nothing more costly has been made. The finale of the show is a farce called "A Dry Goods Store," and is right up to the minute with new songs, dances and funny business, and it furnishes plenty of opportunities for action on the part of the prettiest of the girls, who have earned the title of "World's Best." AT WASHINGTON (D. C.) THEA TERS Blue Mouse. A good act is a good team, to a good team. A good act is a good team, to a few jokes, and three reels of pictures. The Chelsea. Waddell and Banks, held over by request, played to standing room only, and are one of the best sister teams playing Washington. Their songs are very good and their dancing fair. The Chelsea has the best dance. Any small house in the city of Washington. The Fairyland Allen and Morten are still cleaning up. They are too well known to say they are good. They are a riot. They minor chord and packing all the theaters they play. JOHN H. HALL. NEW CROWN GARDEN Offered a big mid-winter show, and one that caught on from the start to the finish. The "Wizard" is still wizzing and wizzing some. Cara Larmax. A woman who sings, well Miss Larmax sings two catchy songs and pleases. Her style is somewhat different from the rest, but it takes all kinds of acts in vaudelley to make a vaudelley show. Miss Larmax dresses her best that much so, and in time no doubt will but just what a vaudelley audience wants. Her act is good. The Brown Sisters. Return in a new act. This is their fourth week in this house. And the Brown sisters make Mable Brown makes the sweetest looking boy that any one ever saw. Miss Babe Brown is equally as good looking as a girl as she is. The Brown Sisters Jines and Hill. Some boy and girl, the Kandy Kids, and they are sure sweet. Mr. Jines is a real funny comedian who knows, just how to hand an audience the stuff to sniff them laugh until he laughs until he lusts. Musz Hill is a cute little woman, whose pleasing appearance gets the audience from the go. Her dainty way of working is really, captivating. The team of Jines and Hill captivated the them. But because the yare the day when it comes to pleasing an audience, We can stand for Jines and Hill again, and then some more. The Jewish Girl A white act; the first seen here in a long time that was really a big hit. The little Miss sings songs that one likes to hear. The Crown Stock. Handed out another scream. Well, Tim Owlsley doesn't know anything else but to make you laugh. Wherever you see Tim Owlsley's name that means you can because he always knows new and good. Gertrude is another charm and good. Somebody who knows how to act and is a popular actor who is always welcome before the footlights. Miss Tirtsul Barnette has appalled tensions time in helping to put her part of the laughs. While she is the youngest member of the Kelly Trio, she is as clever as some old ones we know. Mr. Kelly is another girl who is doing her share in helping make of an act what it should be, as she is a good talker. No matter what happens, the Crown always has a show. By K. C. E.

The bill was a very strong one, opening with Jos. Johnson, and closing with Tolliver. The Tolliver and Hamitton Davis were great applause winners. The Bon-Ton Trio, new to the East, went very well. They were good singers and dancers, but the comedian ran first place. Owing to the demise of Miss Mabel's sister, the Tollivers retired on Friday. The younger brother, Jesse Tolliver. MEMPHIS, TENN. Dockery's Syndicate. On Tuesday night, February 11, I strolled over to the Metropolitan theater, in honor of Mr. Clarence Powell, who is playing as a case officer. I retired to the Bank buffet, where a seven-course dinner was served by Mr. George Cone, the well-known caterer. Plenty of empty bottles and wine were available at the Swear Home, which was at 4 a.m. Dockery syndicate is composed of the following young men: Wm Stewart, collector for the Mackenzie ket, Ketia Brown, Porter, Tenn., Club; Arthur McCain, well-known sportsman, who knows how to hunt and holds the horses; Mr. Wm Bailey, hartender for the Bank buffet; Will Wyatt, I. C. Railroad; Joe Walker and Henry Wilson. The syndicate is especially certain a jolly bunch. Although the club is young they are certainly a jolly crowd. They have made quite an impression on the season and the later party of the season. Playing at the Metropolitan are the well-known players, Bert Whitman and her Sunbeams; Clarence Powell, The Original Rags; Baby Bert, the original members of the syndicate read The Freeman, sold at Jackson's drug store. Moore's New Orleans Minstrels came to a sudden halt last week at the Deer Park after opening to a big success in Newark, N. J. Owing to one or two women who selflessly professes professional ladies and who are really a disgrace to the stage. We hope to see Mr. Moore with a good company who will be a credit and not a disgrace. SONG. "You Are the Apple of My Eye."

GOSSIP OF THE STAGE 6 By Capt. Leslie T. Peacocke. In the early Morning breeze to their daily干粮 and tussle. Sprint the shop-girl and the seamstress and the business man and clerk; Dodging cars and making hurry, many seams and the berry; Some loth, some anxious to begin the never-ending work. Little girls with idle chatter, rushing by with noisy, clatter; Pertty little caskets, old men double-bent with age; Thin floor-walkers tall and haughty, fat bartenders short and sporty: That is Morning in the city, and the Sidewalk is the Stage. It is Noon, and still the setting is the same, but it is getting crowded in the figures new and pleasing to the eye; Pretty dames in pretty laces, motley Thespians, happy faces, shoppers busy shopping and shop-lifters all are to the eye. The toiling crowd is there, too, you can see them, if you care to. As hungry for their luncheon as a lion cage. Merry widows, toques and bonnets, would-be poets with their sonnets; That is Noonday in the city, and the Sidewalk is the Stage. It is Evening, after supper; lowes classes and the upper Utilize the sidewalk, every one on please-bear; Some see the pictures moving, some just strolling, but all purity spent. How a very pleasant evening can be profitably spent. Passing tables and healthy elbowing the poor and wealthy. Stenographers escorted by a bank, a sage. Such a glancing, such a showing. Glances to the glancing loving; That is Evening in the city, and the Sidewalk is the Stage. It is Night, the throng is thinner; it is late, and every sinner Who is on the street is foolish, 'cause he ought to be in bed. They are seeking after pleasure and they are seeking after pleasure; From the cafe to the bar-room, very thirsty, easy-led. Opera cloaks and ostrich feathers, evening and leather; Fierce overwrought policemen round a drunkard in a rage; Giddy chorus girls home going, silly asses wild oats sowing; That is Noonday in the city, and the Sidewalk is the Stage.

Moore, the fashion plate of vaudeville, with Chintz Moore, the mirth producer, stopped the show at the Globe Theater, the week of the 10th, and took the show to Salamans, salamans, and made good—that's putting it mildly. B. Moore is said by press and public to have more changes of costumes and more elaborate ones than any other show in the city. That's saying lots for one who is just three years old in the business; but Father Chintz says that's half of the act, and advises all to put the goods on the old hens and you can easily make good. He's definitely, and send regard to the profession. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELI PHIA. The Auditorium, vaudeville and motion picture house, presented its usual attractive bill, making it stronger than ever by running five acts. There is a humorous song by the band, seriously—the viewing of moving pictures. The management hasa caught on, and the audience is satisfied, as its continued success agates Gibson says he means to give them the best, as he uses the best licensed films, among which are good things, both educational and comical. Auditorium, a band that was artist artist boards for the second week, and rendered a number of songs entirely new, in her own words, as artist artists were a rare treat; Bradford and Bradford, clever comedians, held their own, the Carter Trio, in their skit, gave us plenty of catchy music, and was interrupted by a song we were adroitly unfolded in an entertaining manner and the settings artistic. The Stewart Brothers, who can sing and dance, can provoke mirth, was another strong caster. R. S. O. sign at every performance. DIXIE THEATER, NEW BERN, N. C The Dixie Theater at New Bern, N. C., is still packing them in and will continue to do so as soon as the Spinnaker heretofore. On the bill were the Arteses, (Billy and Grace), who have certainly gone in to the hearts of the new Bern. The team has been working too much cannot be said about this act, as it is one of the best in the business. Too much success has been achieved by N.C. Floyd and Webster just choose four successful weeks in Wilmington, N. C., and are now playing a return ennumerated in the program. They have trained their reputation and when they appeared on the stage on their return you couldn't hear their opening chorus name Floyd will never be forgotten by the New Bern people, because he has given them just what they like and must enjoy just what they like and all times and, as stage manager, leaves them screaming with his last acts. Daisy Webster of the team, Jennie Taylor of the team and Jennie Taylor and her picks made their initial bow to New Bern and I would need a lengthy vocabulary to describe them in a class by herself. She also knows how to handle a mandolin. The picks are without a doubt the best for their age and experience. The players and directors and are compelled to take three or four encores at every show.

The members of the Southern Smart Set Company and a large audience witnessed a midnight performance at the Dixie Theater. The performance was given for the special enjoyment of the Smart Set Company and the show deserves the highest praise. It was the strongest vaudeville bill I have ever seen given in a colored playhouse. The members of the company wish to publicly thank Mr. A. S. Perry, manager of the theater, Mr. "Chicken Reel" Beaman and the other members of the company for their splendid performance. The bill opened with a medley of popular songs, very well sung and artistically staged and executed, followed by Maggie Taylor and her "pick." Robby Taylor; good. Emma Skinner, soubrette; entertaining. whitman and Lazoo, with Mattie Whitman in male impersonations; a splendid act. Edna Winston, singing and dancing specialty; graceful and artistic. "Chicken Reel" Beaman, a physical "funny" model logue, our Conley in a bit of legitimate acting that was really well done; Muriel Ringold, inimitable, and like rare wine, grows better with age. The bill concluded with an entertaining skit by Mr. Beaman entitled, "On the Border." A commendable feature of the program was the absence of vulgarity, legitimate language, and loudness need rescuers "smut" and vulgarity to win applause. While Miss Winston was dancing there were repeated calls to the audience, "Catch it, put over her, have us have it!" She smilingly refused to acquiesce to these requests; nevertheless she was compelled to respond to several enquiries. There is a class of men who stand high in the communities in which they live, and are more mature than at home when they attend the small vaudeville houses, so they can encourage, and oftimes demand that performers use their talents, the demands, the humor, and the very often they are "canned." If they acquiesce, they are waylaid after the show by these same men and invited out for a One of the members of a popular sister team told me that she was repeatedly annoyed by a young physician she had gone to go out with him for a "good time" after the show. One evening she quietly informed him that she had made inquiry and found that there was something wrong with her young lady at 1 a. m. She also told him, if he was really anxious for her company, that she would be pleased to call upon his sister, the young physician mothered her no more. There are hundreds of performers who have the talent and the ambition to do great things. We present little playlets and sketches from real life, where they could show their abilities as actors and actresses. They can also tell us about the public won't stand for an act of that kind. We have the talent, we have the ability, we have the ambition, but the public must help us raise the standard of what we want to be, eliciting and encouraging our best efforts. THE REASON That Colored Acts Do Not Get More Time in Big Vaudeville. From time to time different actors have asked the writer why it was that colored acts could not get on the big time or why was it that the acts from the South could be more popular than the houses in Chicago. As many small, cheap houses as there are in Chicago, was it their color or what? These questions have come very fast, and to answer them they have to be more expressive as the colored actor's feelings are very easily touched. They will readily denounce a writer as a knocker; as colored vaudeville actors don't want a colored act to be boosting form; that's one of their big mistakes. This same applies to the Eastern and Western acts allike. A boost often does an act lots of good, when the writer wants to boost one of the acts from the South that everyone to Chicago has the same faults, only some have more. To be plain, Goodloe and Goodloe and String Beans are the originals; their one thing or the other is to stole from the South and brother stole from them. Their next triumph.

Bob Russell, Billy Owen, Tim Owsley, Cliff Boss, Billy King, John Goodloe and their bunch, write. Address Dunbar Hotel, Birmingham, Ala. ble is every black-face comedian tries to be a Burt Williams. The public is tired of seeing those bad imitations. With all due respect to the ladies, they fall away and appear inappropriate, well in some houses. It's a very bad practice in house. It hurts the business. Bad imitation does not do the business any good. Vaudeville acts stand to-day as no shows to educate their audiences to high-class comedy. Then all acts in the South can make good on any of the small time and Western and Western acts do on the same time. Cut out the bad stuff. Dress the acts. As matters stand to-day there will not be any cheap vaudeville in two years' time. The only place to see vaudeville is the place of vaudeville. Every day moving pictures are making inroads and taking the place of vaudeville. They are a sure death blow to vaudeville and a boon to managers. To manage a small house is not easy job—bobbing around, week, hold up in salaries, railroad tickets, take chances on unknown acts. The pictures of to-day and in the future will take all that worry off their hands and minds, and give a new show every day. Here is a new picture of going on in the moving picture business: Chicago has 472 licensed theaters; 320 are moving picture houses. The new talking picture of Edison is a success beyond a doubt. In time the supply will be large enough to show good-bye, small acts, white and black, North, South, East and West. The public is tiring of seeing the same old acts, only different faces; same old songs, but a litter of future. Showmen who have not novelties to offer will find themselves out in the cold. THE PICANINNY TROUBAOURS AT TEXARKANA. TEXAS. It had been announced for the last four weeks that the Picanniny Troubadours were to make their return to Texarkana, Texas. They failed to appear each time, on account of the good people of Shreveport, begging them to stay one more week, and at last the management of the Great Star theater agreed to give up the "Picks" and when they were leaving, the girls and boys stood with tears in their eyes, as the great caravan marched away, headed by Valada, the Great Kate Sampson, Ethelred and the Spring. When the time has rained over the S. P. station at Texarkana last Monday many friends were standing awaiting their arrival. While George J. Williams's military band played "Gee, Ain't It Great to eMet a Friend," they marched to the Lyr. Theater and long bedtime time for the curthes go, hundreds had been turned away. They presented a story that brought tears to the eyes of both men and women, entitled "A Broken-Hearted Mother." Madame J. V. Snow's own production. The Drunkus was packed all this week to its almost capacity. The "Picks" are glad at any time to hear from anyone in the profession.

Wolgast and Manager Jones "Make Us" In,Frisco SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Ad Wolgast, former lightweight champion of the world, arrived here last week from Portland and began training for his fight February, with "Harlem 138" and the fighter weight 138 pounds, his heaviest training of his ring career. since the ocular Wolfgang made late today that he and his man John Jones, has re-established business relations and that Jones would continue to act as his manager. WOLGAST SAYS STUFF IS OFF WITH OLD MANAGER. LOS ANGELES——The long expected has happened—Ad Wolgast and his manager, "Cherokee" Tom Jones, have "split." The following telegram from the former world's lightweight champion tells the story of the separation, Feb. 10—Jones says he is returning to Los Angeles to go into business. He doesn't want me to go through with the San Francisco team against Murphy. Says I we are to remain together the match must be called on. "I answered him that as there is no chance to get Ritchie I won't need him as manager. It is a chance." "AD WOLGAST." Jones assumed management of Wolgast in 1909 and worked him into the world's $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous delibity, lack of rigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men light in their own homes—without any difficulty in dealing—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and quietly, should have a copy. So I have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ornamental sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surestanding combination for the cure of depleted manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that man anywhere who wears it may course to our hands who fail to stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the tissue, restructuring restorative SPOT-TOOTHING (NEGIVE, ever devised, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: A, E Robinson, $3831 Luck Building, Detroit, MI 48201 for this copy of this splendid receipt in a plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. championship in exactly one year. Since that time it is estimated that Wolgast under 100 men management, has earned over $100 million, and Eddie Campi, matched to box Kid Williams before the Pacific Athletic Club at Vernon next Wednesday afternoon, has finished two parity matches. "I will rest for two days and go in the ring Wednesday at my best," said Eddie. "The way I feel now I could give away five pounds and wallop any man in the world." Williams, too, is through work so far as boxing is concerned. "That about finishes us," said Manager Hanna Hahn, who said she took a farewell flap at the last unhappy sparring partner. "We are now ready to knock some of the conceit out of young men and lose a surprise to a few of the wives who have been criticising Johnny's work." LOCAL TEAM GETTING READY. Manager N. Johnson, of the Dennison Cubs, offers some advice to young players. He is greatly interested in the game. He says that young players need training, he says, and that he needs to There is a little player, he is fast and quick; he has the speed, but is not a quick thinker as to what to do with the ball when he gets it. If he had had the training, he would probably it would probably have made him a star in the baseball world. I have several new faces to add to the staff for the season of 2013. Add to them, the Ind.

Jockey With Interesting Experiences —A Little Biography of Luther McCarty—Al Palzer in Paris —Will Meet Champ Jack If— (By Billy Lewis.) Not long since I spoke of Jim Watts, the veteran fighter of above four hundred battles in the prize fighting ring. I called attention to his past sunny existence, contrasting his manhood in the all but deserted his veins. He took no thought of the morrow when gold was scattered at his feet. It's a story too painful to remember, but he suggests another. So we have a new voice from the old past—from Omaha, Neb. Doubless this subject, who signs himself Jockey Hypolite Chevalier, read of Watts, seeing something very similar in his eyes. It comes to money setting and popularity. In writing Hypolite Chevalier does not give dates as to when he rode, but he says that "you may publish me as one of the old time locked men with a time of the boys of Omaha are giving a hall to defray his expenses to Baltimore. When there, he says, that he will once more get in the pigskin, whatever that is. Guess it's Hypolite's slang for sale, maybe he says that he will get it will be maybe that he still thinks of riding. Can the hunger for applause ever be appeased? And perhaps there is no more pitiable thing in all the world than to see those erstwhile favorites of the collimations of the quizzes of the giggkin, after their sions of usefulness have been spent clinging to the fond belief that there's some good in them yet. And there is, but unfortunately, it is not in demand. If fact the decline of these and individual that they do not aware that they have received the jumping off place. I do not think with Dr. Osler that there's an arbitrary line of age, when men should re-tire. But there's a time; it is known to results; not theory. It's all about the whole thing he slips out of it; thus a lingering faith of those of yesterday that they are no worse today. And we that observe are willing to indulge the度。 The fusion, simply as a thing of sympathy. It is the best charity to these—this sym Hypellope would ride again, would get in the pigskin, and yet he says that you may publish me as an artist. Now old man, he is not in great deal. In this automobile age, it is doubtful if they are at all in demand. It is as much as the up-to-date fellows can do to get a satisfactory mount. Let us see what happens. His career is interesting enough and he tells some of it unblushingly, which might remain untold. For instance, he says that he had victories of horse racing, E. J. Baldwin implicated in the Little Pete conspiracy; demanded $10,000 a year for his services. This Little Pete conspiracy, I presume, was some kind of victory race horse about. Hypellope was under the tutorship of Don Williams, he says, developing into a rider that "shook the turf world." He was the track in the country after which he won the country. He signed a contract to ride for President Barrus of Central America. Won derby in Central America on Fred. He was the first to adopt the riding, and which he took on the Todd Sloan. With a little imagination it can be seen that our "hero" has seen splendid service. He has seen the world and the world was at his feet. But how now mine erstwhile spendthrift, mine prodigal? Well, it is his business and it is his business yet, not business, but it should serve a lesson to THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTARTED COLORED NEWSPAPER. those of today who are passing through similar experiences. We profit by the misfortunes of others, that is, we ought to. Indianapolis has had the pleasure of laying eyes on Luther McCarty, the leading "white hope." He's a fine specimen of a fellow, but can he fight Jack Johnson, is the question. Can he fight enough to win the competition. Someone has been giving bit of Luther's biography, and it is interesting enough. It runs as follows: McCarty has had an eventful career. Before he became a knight of the padded knight, he lived into his life to satisfy the average taste for excitement. At various times he has been miner, lumber, cowboy, sailor, rostabout and many other things as the opportunity offered. Now he is in a fair way to become the heavyweight champion and it is still lacking a few months of his majority. McCarty was born on a ranch owned by his father, thirty miles out of Lincoln, Neb. His mother, five years later he went to live with relatives in Colorado. When twelve years old he left his home without taking the formality of announcing his departure and started to travel to the highlands almost state in the Union. He also sailed around Cape Horn while acting as cabin boy on a "wind jammer," and visited China and Japan and another country. He foreign travels McCarty went back to cattle herding on a ranch. While at Culbertson, Mont., he saw his first battle. He himself was involved in the war. He was also a ring partner and was later the second of one of the principals. Soon after he branched out on his own hook as a pugilist, getting his first opportunity when one of his brothers, a German, killed Wilhelm Adams, a Canadian heavyweight, failed to show up. One of McCarty's heavy swings ended the battle in the second year. At last he had found a vocation which would bring him more wealth than anything he had yet tackled. ... The signal victory gained by Luther McCarty over the sturdy veteran, Jim Flynn, removed practically all doubt as he feared featuring Carl Morris, McCarty showed up so green that he was pramply set down by the majority of critics as being a greatly overrated fighter. After being pounded from pillar to post by a second-rater, few could see in the new sensation the long-looked-for white hope. Again, against Jesse Willard, although McCarty won a second-rater, he worked that was wonder expressed as to how he managed to fell the gigantic Morris. It was surmised that Morris must have been the victim of a lucky punch and all the wonder was lost what little form he once possessed. After leaving him, McCarty trounced Jim Barry, the well-known Chicago heavyweight and later knocked out all Carl Furnman. But he passed their prime, and this fact took away most of the significance from McCarty's victories. No doubt Flynn, too, has seen his best days. But the fact that he is McCarty's best first white hope to get the better of the man who had come to be known as the "destroyer" of this species of pugilist. Since McCarty has met and overcome Palzer he is conceded to be as high as he can get without meeting the toughness of Palzer who will fight Jack in Paris in the near future if "fate" does not decree otherwise. Palzer is now in Europe. The chance for a scrap depends on the issue of the team with Unde Sam as prosecutor. But the point was that McCarty is no nearer the championship than the meanest "white hope." Palzer beats Johnson in the final with Unde Sam as prosecutor. But the point was that McCarty is no nearer the championship than the meanest "white hope." Palzer beats Johnson in the final with Unde Sam as prosecutor. But the point was that McCarty has the better chance since he has done up both Flynn and Palzer, men who were highest up in the league. But Johnson wins the shocks because he has overtopped the other white hopes, but as said before, Palzer may prove tortoise and beat McCarty out. Then McCarty will have to do everything he fails to he see the man he has outclassed, show him a clean pair of heels. ORLANDO (FLA.) NEWS. The Smart Set Here—The Rabbit Foot Follows—Personal Mention.
