XXVI NUMBER 9 THE NATION'S CAPITAL MISS CLARICE JONES SCORES TRI UMPH AT CLASSIC RECITAL Dr. S. L. Corrothers Urges Race Pride and Race Unity as Chief Ingredient in Solution of Negro's Problem Howard's Law C.ass Enjoys a Feast. (By R. W. Thompson.) "It is a pitiful fact," continued Dr. Corrothers, "that some of our men who have received the highest honors because of their supposed repression because of their people upward, become ashamed of their fellows as soon as the door of hope is opened to them. The truly representative Negro must be proud of the history his race makes in the world, and the courage and bring forward those whom circumstances have kept in the valley, and the shadow. The Negro race is retarded by the Caucasian as an entity and by the African as an enemy or we shall fall together. If law forbidding intermarriage is necessary to keep us together and unify our discordant element, I do not care if congress does pass as those found in any other race and I am of proud of them—satisfied with them." Dr. Corrothers then launched into a denial denunciation of the "barber-shop argument" nuisance, where the reputation of Negro men tatters and where more "devilment" is hatched than anywhere else on earth. He was particularly severe on Negro men who make a practice of "running down" the reputation of well-intentioned women "Race pride is the Negro's only salvation. Without it the Negro will be crushed; to atoms. He will be jimmy, to the protections of the courts; his schools will be broken up; his hearth stone will become a hollow mockery and an altar shame. The Negro must wake up and be patted on the prairies he must live. The preacher who is wise is telling him less of white robes and golden slippers above and urging him to industrious, thrifty and sober manSIONs in the skies and much about saving money and investing it in helpful business enterprises, to open places of employment to his children who have been born in the slaves. God bless the Negro who merits that blessing by helping his people upward and onward. Dr. Corrothers scorned the idea that the white ann is "keeping the children of colored people to develop their own enterprises—to attend their own churches, to patronize their own stores, restaurants, amusements, and to build up their own businesses, to other races that have grown strong—to other races that have grown strong—to their money with shopkeepers of their own race and enable them eventually to broaden the scope of that business into a common benefit. In industry, trade, agriculture, and many kinds there is little or no color providence. The Negro must get his share of his work, or the aggressive and far-scoring that drive him out of these pursuits and stance him to death here in a place of plenty. Virginiously denouncing racial tendency to exalt the frivolities—fiddling, like New York. Rome was burning—and commencing the driving out of town every man who will not try to work and earn and home living. Dr. Corrothers concluded his intensive course with an injunction to the race "unite on everything and build up in er- The Inaugural Period Is "On" The Howard University conservatory of music presented a few evenings ago the distinguished tenor, Mr. Krolland W. Jones of the University of Chicago, sister of the brilliant young pianist, Miss Clarice Jones, daughter of Counselor Thomas L. Jones. Miss Jones is an honor graduate of the conservatory of music at Howard University at Ithaca, N. Y. Both artists scored individual triumphs and many heaty encores rewarded their efforts. The ensemble then embarked to overthrow with the cream of the music lovers of the nation's capital. General Jones Meets Many Washing tonians. Gen. Joseph L. Jones, supreme vicechancellor of the Knights of Pythias, president of the Central Vigilant company, and vicechancellor of the National Cincinnati, Ohio, spent a day in the city on business connected with the fraternities with which he is identified. He had been attending a meeting of a council in Baltimore on the season of the fraternity east and south. General Jones met a number of members of congress by appointment and conferred at length, touching the merits of a bill purporting to "protect the names of certain fraternities." He presented a petition, signed by influential men in all parts of the country protesting vigorously against the passage of the measure, designed, on its face, to prevent colored organizations from entering the University, followed by a reception at the residence of Mr. Robert A. Pelham, 603 Howard Place. The popular Cincinnati also held an important conference over Odd Fellow matters with Cassius and William Busson. In addition to other offices, General Jones is first vice-president of the National Negro Press association and is closely identified with the upbuilding of the General Jones was a caller at the treasury department, where he met Register J. C. Napier, Assistant Register J. P. Strickland, Col. Robert J. Harlan of Cincinnati, and counsel to advocate in the Spanish-American war. He was chaperoned by R. W. Thompson. Lawyer J. T. V. Hill is said to have his castor in the ring for one of the big plums at the disposal of President Wilson. Mr. Hill is at present a deputy prosecutor in the Justice Department and is a democrat of the old school. He imbibed his democracy from such stalwarts in Hoosier politics as Thomas A. Hendricks, Joseph E. McDonald, David Turtle and Dan W. Wiley. Mr. Hill is Indiana's entire delegation in congress and the strongest democrats of the Hoosier state. His chances are regarded as excellent. The warning that aspirants for office should not come to Washington until they have things "cinched," is repeated for emphasis. The sad experiences of others in the old days should not be overlooked by those who choose to sit home and let your sponsors make you fight for you. "If they can't do it, it can't be did." Roland W. Hayes and Miss Clarice Janes Charm Brilliant Audience. Mr. Roland W. Hayes, of Boston, a tenor of pronounced talent, and Miss Clarice Jones, of this city, daughter of Counsellor Thomas, daughter whose name is already reached from to ocean, in a recent joint recital, charmed one of the most brilliant audiences ever seen in Andrew Rankin's old churchal chapel, which he received with unfeigned enthusiasm and th program was one of rare excellence, the selections being chosen that showed the varied accomplishments of each of the tenors. Hayes is well-known here and his numbers were all applauded to the echo. His repertoire for the evening embraced, "Hymn to the light," and "Atonement of Heart" (Phillips); "Celeste Ald" (erdl); "The Sweetest Flower" (Batten); "Land of the Sky Blue Water" (Cadman); "Just Because" (Burleigh); "Yall Call You" (Culligan); concluding with "Onaway, Awake, Beaked" (Hiawata, S. Coleridge-Taylor). Mr. R. Wilfred Tibbs, assistant director of music in Howard University, presided at the piano as accompanist. The deepest interest of the occasion. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 1, 1913 He can't reach it; there's a reason. TREND MILL BUSINESS MAN POOR SYSTEM was, of course, in the work of Miss Clarice Jones, who made her initial appearance in public since her triumphant graduation last year from the IUaca conservatory, where she earned a nell university, where she carried off all the honors as a skilled planist and interpreter of the classic musicians. Her graduating recital at Cornell was admitted to have been the finest that historian had ever seen. At the Howard University recital, Miss Jones' selection ran the gamut of the classics, and the remarkable technique displayed by the young debutante has been the talk of Washington's music room. The recitaler: Sanata A major Rhapsody No. 12, (Lizst); "Caprice Napapol" (Moskowski); with encores demanded after each principal rendition. She was repeatedly recalled and was presented at the close of the season as a beautiful shower bonnet of Killarney roses. The most competent critics say that Miss Jones has more than technical perfection at the piano. Not only does she handle the heaped-up mechanical difficulties of the piano, but she musics masters of Europe with ease and grace, but she gives full expression to the soul-spirit encouraged in the rich melodies. If she the vitalizing touch of genius, she can give the right light and grace must be given in their true emotional value to be effective. Miss Jones is the supreme mistress of varied effects. Her music is light and bright in physical development, so well does she grasp the possibilities of her instrument that she is able to give to massive chord passages orchestral volume and power. Her pianissimos are the acme of delicacy; her runs and apogee passages, absolutely flawless, are of fairy-lightness and stature. The music she manisissimos is brought out in everything that demands exceptional treatment, and the simpler pieces are presented with a searching sincerity that charm and interest is brought out in crimination. Miss Jones position at the instrument, the deft fingering of the keys, and her quick comprehension of the motif of her composition, are the hallmark of her performance. She cures effects without seeming to strive for them, and has none of the dramatic byplay with a less gifted performer often selves. Miss Jones has before him a broad vista of possibilities—a career that promises great results. Seniors of Howard Law School Enjoy a Feast. The "coming out" banquet of the senior class of the law department of Howard University last Friday evening at Gray's was a veritable "feast, of reason and progressive gathering of young men of the race have never put their feet beneath the festal board in the nation's capital.

Apparently no quarters are being given the Maderos in Mexico. Mexico should try general education as a remedy against revolutions, Make haste slgwly is a good old ad- monition. At times it fits conditions nicely enough. We are off to Mexico! The chances are that our soldiers may not be need- ed when they arrive at the border. It will be so much the better if they are not needed. - * We have implicit confidence in President-elect Wilson in that he will so far as he is able see to it that gen- eral legislation at Washington will not turn out to be class legislation. Kansas, the state of glorious old John Brown, is doing its full duty at keeping down class legislation. Re- cently an intermarriage. measure was killed in the legislature. Since then a “crew bill,” aimed at Negro flagmen and porters, has been stampeded by the efforts of fair-minded citizens. ‘The wise ones are saying that the cabinet of President-elect Wilson will be, in part: Secretary of state, Wil- liam J, Bryan, of Nebraska; secretary of the’treasury, William G. McAdoo, ot New York; secretary of the navy, Josephus Daniels, of North Carolina; postmaster-general, Albert Sidney Burleson, of Texas, ‘The legislature of Massachusetts congratulated W. H. Lewis on his Lincoln speech to that body; it order. ed 3,000 copies of his speech printed for their “edification.” It also passed a batch of rules on miscegenation. This appears a little bit of cancellation with something to the “good” on the legislative side. This in dear old Mas- sachusetts! What are we coming to? The “white slave traffic act” has heen upheld as constitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States. This decision doubtless proves dis- heartening to Jack Johnson, who had hoped to prove the law otherwise. His chances of getting out of his difficulty is greatly reduced. It is up to him to prove that he has been falsely charged. Between this case and the one where he is charged with smug- gling, he will have to do some skillful fencing if he gains his liberty. The career of John Wimbush, col- ored, the five-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, John Wimbush, of Washington, D. GC, will be watched with consider able interest. The little fellow has been adopted by a millionaire family, Mr. and Mrs. McLean, to be the com- panion of their $100,000,000 boy of about the same age. The colored boy ‘will not come into the inheritance ac cording to the program. He will, how: ever, have every advantage that. the white boy has by way of education, and so forth. Well, Negro boys are millionaires in physical strength and courage. A little exchange will be good for both sides. Madame ©, J. Walker, writing from Sumter, S. C., says that the white peo- ple are generous in supporting enter prises by Negroes. We take this as a rather healthy sign of what the future may bring forth. While we are look ing for a satisfactory social adjust ment, and also civil, to come from a certain direction, it may come from an unexpected source. This fraternizing in a commercial way, through neces: sity, we may say, may pave the way to an abiding peace—a better under standing. Mutual helpfulness may be depended on as a valuable asset to the ‘Wunthess Of face problein solving. Bishop Alexander Walters will make @ speech at the banquet that will be tendered him at Washington, D. C., on the evening of March 4. From all ac- counts his utterances will be signifi- cant in that they will foreshadow the policy of the government in its doings with race questions. We are not ap- prised of the fact that the bishop has been selected as'the mouthpiece of the government; yet it stands to reason that Woodrow Wilson and leading Democrats will counsel with some Ne- groes. They will find none truer to Democracy and to the race at the same time than Bishop Walters. By the nature of his position and activi- ties he will be first among those to be consulted. President Taft, in a letter to the Yale News this week, discussed the work that he will take up—Kent pro- fessor of law at Yale. He is strong for the Constitution, standing for it as against those who have come to view it as old and useless. To use his own words: “There is need that our young men should appreciate the Constitution of the United States, under which we have enjoyed so many blessings and under which we must work out our po- litical and economic salvation. And this need is especially keen in a day when that instrument is regarded so lightly by a class of fanatical enthus- fasts seeking short cuts to economic perfection, on the one hand, and by unscrupulous demagogues who, to pro- mote their own interests, do not hesi- tate to inculcate disrespect and con- tempt for the Constitution and the laws, on the other.” Mr. Taft during his incumbency of the presidential office has proven his qualifications for his new position. The hurly-burly of political times does not fit in well with his nature. Mr. Taft is scholarly, dignified and sincere; ap- parently, he is pleased at his new prospects. Anent his trial for a journalistic misdemeanor, Editor Calvin B. Chase ‘of the Bee had tht following to say: “Our old friend, John Mitchell, wants us tried by a judicial jury. What show for acquitial would the editor of the Bee have before such a jury? We would challenge the entire bench with the exception of Editor ‘Trotter. We would withdraw our de- mand for a jury trial and asked to be tried by the editor of the Guardian. Some of the foregoing, Brother John, are so narrow-minded and lack good sense that they couldn't see a point if ‘one was made. You must have antici- pated us, Brother John. A man who doesn’t Know in which ward to vote after having moved to another ward and who has been living in the ward from which he moyed since Hector was a pup, certainly hasn't sense enough to be a juryman. The Bee has great respect for the editor of the Guardian, as well as for our old an- cient friend, John Mitchell, Jr., who intends to be a retired millionaire pachelor. John always had good old horse sense.” "Does he also include us in his bunch ‘of imbeciles? Ye gods! We will have revenge—re-v-emg-e! IS THE WHITE MAN FAIR? Is the white man fair? The ques- tion is not asked in a narrow, provin- cial sense. Is he fair in his dealings as they concern races of peoples other than his own race? Is he fair to the colored races? God, or the first great cause sat down the colored races in various places over the earth. The white man has diligently sought them. And diligence has had its reward; it has found them. As it concerns the white man, the colored races have proven the gold mines of the human species, Africa is staked off in great claims. In 1620 and thereabouts por- tions of the product of that country were purloined and brought to the United States, to Cuba, to Haiti, to Porto Rico. And in most cases this was for increased wealth among those most concerned. In some instances effort was made at civilization; reli- gions were introduced and taught; books were not denied. But in the most part abject slavery was the ob- ject until it athwarted the paths of Christianity, civilization, humanity as |a blight, impeding the progress of the great humanizing agencies of the jyaris ‘Then the world of thoughtful men threw together their influences, changing the world conscience for the Detter. South American states had gradual emancipation. Haiti long be- fore had rebelled and was supported [to some extent by the influence flow: ‘ing from American independence and ithe French revolution, Had France peen united and determined L'Over- ‘ture would have fainted ere the strife began—it winked at the efforts of the Hiatian Negroes. | So through it all it seems as if a purpose ran, and to the end that the ‘Negro race should come up. ‘The [thoughtful will not be blind to the in- ‘tents of white men who have distrib- juted ‘blessings as surely as they have distributed curses. Have they been fair? eis When we think of what we “ate, measuring it by what the white man is, unmindful of what we were, we are inclined to think that the white man jis not fair. Our minds readily go out to the first shipload of Negroes that ‘came to these shores. We think of the ‘nearly three hundred years as a. blank place in our existence. We think of ‘what we could have done in all of that |time. We could have filled the for. jests, builded cities, steamships and great bridges, we think; but we have een hindered, contributing to the for- tunes of other men, causing the land to blossom as a rose, and so forth. But we are also reminded of the fact that there stands Africa in the most part as pristine as when the Dutch trading vessel landed at Jamestown, without steamships, great cities and great bridges builded by the ingenuity of our kind. In America, in these United States, we stand infinitely above those in Africa and above those elsewhere. We are perplexed and chagrined at times, viewing things from that very ‘eminence where we were placed by the white man, and of whom we yet demand more. It is right ‘that we should, but sometimes the contending takes the nature of haste and in doing so brings its own defeat. We are de- feating in some parts of the country special laws against us, in other sec- ions we are not doing so well. And so far as winning the general heart of the white nation along the lines in question, we are doing absolutely nothing. Perhaps it is not wisdom to look back. Lot's wife gave a fatal look and, like Miltonic angels, plunged headlong down, and so forth. But in our case it is to our advantage to move in moderation, following the cur- rent of sentiment, knowing well that what has come to us has been in spite of our disposition toward ease and in- dolence. The white man put us in the pit of slavery without our consent; he also took us out without our consent. Is he fair? We are enduring some prejudice at this time, a natural result of a race counted inferior asserting it self. Heretofore, what has come to us has been through the exertions of others in our behalf. It has required ‘centuries to bring about the slow frue ‘tion, but the progress has not halted.

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN OFFERS SOME DRAWING SHOW Willie Ownes Opens up the fun in a new and novel way. His jokes were all funny and good, as well as clean. His wardrobe is the best ever seen. In fact he is the dandy comedian. Willie Ownes can make good on any bill, anywhere. Reed and Carter Offer something new and they know what it takes to please. Miss Reed signs a big hit that forces her to take several encores, and the audience went home, humming "That Man of Mine." Mr. Carter is a clever comedian who makes them laugh. Old Mammy character is in the songs, and sing good songs, and with good wardrobe, there is nothing more to ask. Reed and Carter have got 'em. Jimes and Hill Holdovers from last week.

Mr. John Woods, the celebrated ventriloquist, is the featured attraction, and with little Henry, the Fifth Avenue, he has a few words. Miss Marguerite Lorraine is another good headline number. This is her first appearance here and she proved a winner from the start. She is a delightful woman, a kind and good possessed of a voice and surfeit of looks, making a fascinating exponent of comic opera. She also proved herself an agile and graceful dancer. Miss Lucy Shepherd held up her usual routine in attraction on a bill with other good numbers. Notes. The principal of the Frederick Douglass school on Walnut Hills, has invited Mr. John Woods to visit the school and children get acquainted with little Henry. Carter and Reed were in the city a few days last week. Miss Reed was attending the funeral of her uncle. Miss Naomi Stevens gave a beautiful recitation of the "Melting Pot" at the Forum of the Episcopal church, Eighth Avenue, and the Empty Court. A quartette composed of ladies from the choir of Park Street M. E. church, rendered several beautiful selections. An informal reception was given at the residence of Mr. Washington Simms, in honor of Mr. H. S. Dunbar, of Augusta, Ga., secretary of the Y. M. C. A. campaign and about sixty men who are actively engaged in the way the campaign the affair in order to meet Mr. Dunbar. The Pekin has a good bill this week, one of the most active act is making good without the "Baldy Jack" and other vulgar actions or gestures. Miss Bessie Hocker and the Pekinscope are packing them in at the matines. (By George Slaughter, Louisville, Ky.) Three laughs a minute throughout the performance is what is promised amusement-seekers at the Buckingham theater next week, when the merry burlesque, a company headed by such favorite players as Gladys Sears, Sam Ward, Princess Kulu, Harris and Leford, Busee Sisters, Sam Taylor, Pauline Robson, J. Theo, Murphy, Watson and Bandy and the handsome chorus in the shades of the comedy of the chorus is a sign of the times and there appears to be a fierce struggle for supremacy going on all the while. Few managers have given much thought towards the necessary skills and the comprehensive story as a background for the fun and music features that come in for a great share of the favors accorded, and it is therefore noteworthy to record an instance where the right of way a smuch for its solidity of plot purpose as is due to the liberality that is said to characterize its other novel features. "Dante's Daughters," in addition to telling a really funny consistent story, consists of everything that tends towards actual greatness. The scenery was painted by such well-known artists as To mCramer and C. Slemmer, and the costumes were designed by Gladys Sears and executive Orange. The music by McGumbal and was specially written by Mory Gumbal. BOOKER WASHINGTON ANNEX THEATER. ST. LOUIS. MO. Tim and Hester Moore have closed a successful two weeks' return engagement at this theater. The Moores were responsible for all of the work, and have being broken. Miss Hester Moore introduced and specially featured Hunter and Matthews' newest song hit, "My Gambin' Man." It is safe to say that in such capable hands as Moore's the song will surely be a national hit. The Brown's, James and Maymie, in the act beautiful, "The Soubret and the Door Johnson," the Soubret and the appreciatedinally divided honors with the Moores. They have been booked for an early return. Stewart and Foster have a clever skit that they are offering for the "show me" The Kelly Trio in "Two Girls and a Man" are pleasing and amusing, and they should make good on any of the ladies who oppose soprano voice and a deen contralto voice. Taking the bill altogether, it is one that a typo would could find enjoyed more than once. MACON, GA. The Manhattan Vaudeville and Stock Company. Features of the Manhattan Vaudeville and Stock Company are: B. E. Edwards, America's great Negro tenor; Nettie Wessley, mezzo soprano, singing and dancing soubret; C. E. Johnson, some comedian with the girl with the mellow voice; Henry Paschal, baritone soloist and character artist; Mamie Johnson, the girl with the pretty voice, singing pretty songs, and Joe Washington, the boy with the deep bass voice. The company has caused the Douglass theater to be crowded to its capacity every night since it opened here on February 17. We have given it an indefinite engagement. Wanting this company write C. H. Douglass, Douglass theater, Macon, Ga., for terms. The Macon News, a daily paper here, pronounced it one of the best organizations of its kind. The companies are some singers, from B. E. Edwards down to the last one. The company numbers eight persons on the stage and carries its own piano player and traps. The Invincible Four opened on the Griffin circuit, Toronto, Can. THE FREEMAN AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Good Bill at the Grand—Grant and Jones Make Hit—Items Along. the Stroll. (By Cary B. Lewis.) The Grand. The Grand had one of the best bills of the season last week. Jones and Grant, two well-known Thesplanes, were on the program and they were a riot. It was a great week, and the team until they left. Burt Grant was bedecked in his dandy clothes, singing the "Count of No Account," one of his favorite numbers. Jones followed with "Look for you" and Yolande closed with "Back to Dixie." They were the first colored troupers to appear since Nicholas and Houseley, and the colored population gave them a rousing reception as well as their support. Brown and Smith, eccentric dancers, in Lew Canter's "A Trip to Joyville" was another big hit. This was one of the prettiest pieces of vaudeville work seen in the past. The team cited. The bill this week has but little music, but it is a creditable one. There are Ed Gordon in comedy pantomime and cycling oddities, Remington and Ringer, and Morgan in "A Cry in the Night." Those Four Kids and the Four Gaynors The Monogram. The Monogram theater has four good seats. The seats are brown, crowned thew and Casaway, the Moores and Bacon and Stevens are on the bill. The seats are shown, and everybody seemed pleased. The Pekin Theater From all indications the Pekin theater will open next month. The familiar playwright, colored people of Chicago will have its doors thrown open to the public. The orchestra of Prof. Charles Eliger. The house has been newly renovated and the opening part of the theater has been changed, meaning the front appearance very up to date. Notes Miles Harris of the Grand theater is rehearsing "The Dance of the Demons." He is soon to feature the piece at the Gand in spotlight. Mr. George Smith, son of Mr. Smith, of the Grand theater, is the efficient secretary. Mr. Smith is one of the most popular theater stars of Chicago and is a "chip of the old block," his father being one of the most successful men on the south side. Miss Ada Banks is much improved at Denver, Col., and will be in Chicago at an early date to be seen on the Stroll. Harry Brown and his charming wife are in the city meeting their many friends along the stroll. Harry states that he had a very successful tour across the pond. Mr. Dave Peyton has been ill for the past three or four days. His many friends are very much alarmed over his peevishness. Mr. Harrison Emanuel is making preparations to give a recital down town at an early date. The Amatuer Minstrel company had a very successful practice on Wednesday night of this week. Mr. Charles Washington states that they expect a bigger crowd than ever. Copeland and Peyton passed through the city last week, all smiles. A number of the Freeman readers are praising Mr. Foster for his excellent article in the Freeman about the acts and actors. Mr. Foster is an authority on stagecraft. Patti Brown's Farewell Recital. (From the Daly Chronicle, Georgetown, Demerara, Suffolk, Massachusetts, Madame Patti Brown at the assembly rooms last night was a fitting ending to a very successful visit. Mme. Brown had as her confers the concerts of Mame Patti Gardens and Webb Brown the popular local artist. Mme. Brown was vociferously received and gave undoubted satisfaction to her listeners. The Jewel Song" from "Faust" charmed her and the popular "Rose of Summer" was very effectively rendered, indeed. That old favorite song, "Tosti's Goodbye," was rendered in a manner that drew cheer upon cheer from the audience. Indeed she excelled singer, and those who did not hear her missed a treat, undoubtedly THE DIXIE THEATER, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. The Dixie is offering this week: Sandy, and her big pink pair, and they are going big each night. Overton Sanders is still holding his own with his wonderful back and wing dancing. He will sing his *I Love you* song this week, "Asleep in the Deep." Bertha Lowe is the favorite soubret of the city and is cleaning up. H Drake, the original La La, and Pop Sly, the Smashy act, the two, see that each song and act are well done, and that they please the Dixie patrons. The bunch is all smiles and sends regards to all the Freeman readers. He likes to hear from the Pattersons at once. THE MAJESTIC THEATER, COLUMBIA, MO. Horne and Johnson are proprietors of the Majestic theater, Columbia, Mo. The theater has the largest crowd last Monday night that has ever attended this theater. On account of the bad weather the rest of the week was very light. The management has added to hold them over or for a week. Miss Carieta Edwards our pianist, is taking the couple of weeks, with the expectation of taking a trip through the East. The management contemplates putting in the company just as soon as the spring opens up. NEW YORK NOTES. Lincoln Theater. Burton and Harkum did well, also Bessie Vernum. Jim Towl's Majestic Trio, as I believe they are great in great in this act, are their works. They get all out of it that can be gotten. Mr. Towl is a very clever man and deserves great credit. His company closed the bill very successfully. He last half of the week brought us Emule Howe, a very poor act. Her only redeeming feature was the dog she used in the act. This dog, upon Miss Howe's exit, was taken to the stage and walk off the stage after her. That's about all there was to the act. Hess and Paulette, soft-shoe dancers, were good. Mr. Hess amuses the audience once by playing a few songs on a set of hand bells, which is well received. The whole act is good. Good acts are a credit to any house. Joe Johnson, conduician, formerly of the Towl and Johnson, was booked to open here on Monday night, but his late arrival postponed his appearance until Tuesday. He was a riot and was there all week. Jodot and Castona were very good. Dot Winsor, one of the greatest acts in the business, was engaged as a special attraction in her own original songs and a monologue far more than any heard for a long time. Where the manager of the Lincoln gets all of these good acts is a puzzle to alumna Hamilton and Davis, another new act to New Yorkers, arrived here from Philadelphia, opening it is a singing and talkling act with a plot from start to finish that no audience can help applauding They were there all week. Crescent Theater. A nice show at this theater all week, Venton and Venton, ventriolquists, did fine. Brown and Lemont and Allen and Morton, were very clever. Madam Kora is one of the best mind readers I ever saw. While the pictures read the messages, I thought through the audience asking the people to write the messages ever they desired and the young lady, blindfolded, would, by simply placing the reader in the center, read the contents. She is very clever. Franklin Theater The Four Dancing Demons and the Muses were good. Marion and Zoofah, character change and wire artists, were good. Sewer showwomen. The Seven Funny Kids, in school days will do, but Winfried and Martin with a friend as the heather chinaman is without up to date. They are finned and up to date. They close the bill. Family Theater Jones and Jones, a first-class act, opened here Monday. Lobby and Wilson and Jack and Haskins wenet fairly well. Burton and Harkum went big, and Tatten and Lee closed the Sunday night bill. John Barry, a white act, went very well. Pioneer Theater Mattie Phillips and her Jungle Kids were big notices. Sims and Simplid a nice act. Gardner Brothers closed the Sunday night bill. * **The Rose Four, the Vaughns and Holidays, have joined hands again, and the act opened at Passaic, N. J., at the Broadway theater, February 22. The next will be White Plains, N. Y. It is期望 that the will be a scream all over the United circuit. * **Hamilton and Days opened February 20 at the Lincoln theater, New York City, with several weeks on the Tanner time to follow. * **Bonnie and Semoura have reported as doing fine in eastern Canada, and they are expected to return to New York soon. The Marshals have just arrived in the city after playing the better part of the New England states and Canada. Williams and Stevens are very hard at work getting their new three-act sketch ready to open in vaudeville next week. * **Williams and Stevens No. 1 act of ten people closed last week at a run of over five weeks in Hoboken. EASTERN THEATRICAL NOTES. (By Billy E. Jones.) Nina Hunter will fill an engagement with Mary Pennington in Europe, having left New York last week. Miller and Lyles, since arriving on the coast, have been scoring a success on the Orpheum circuit. Rastus and Banks, the clever team, who are making big success in Europe, will open March 14 on the Union theater, Strassburg, Germany. CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADEL- PHIA, PA. Another week of record business—had to turn them away on several occasions. The Dennis and Dowley well received and had to respond to several encores. Cliff Green, a very clever monologist, and a famous John Green, fairly screamed the house. Next the Pewes in a juggling and comedy act more than made good. The act is a new and full. The act is a new one and is composed of the Great Thela, Clarence Nugent and Billy Gulfport. They presented a playlet enunciation of Singer, closing with a grotesque boxing contest, which convulsed the audience. Coming next are the Griffin Sisters, Dummore and Smiley, Robinson and Dunmore, the Doberman Duo, and Ed Clark, the peerless fagler. SONG. "You Are the Apple of My Eye."

McCarty-Willard Bout. CHICAGO—Jess Willard and Luther McCarty, the two most-talked-of heavyweights, are in the city. It is predicted that they will be able to come to some agreement for a bout in the near future. Willard has seen his side with Jack Leon that is ousted at FT Wayne March 5. Oftens have been received from Columbus, Kansas City, New Orleans and Philadelphia. The West Side Athletic Club of New Orleans, is anxious to stage Willard and Bornstein for March 4, but Willard, while accepting the offer, has asked for a later date, possibly March 17. ENGLISH LIGHTWEIGHT IN NEW YORK NEW YORK—Jim O'Reilly, the well-known Albany sporting man, who is looking after the business interests of that great young English lightweight boxer, Young Ahearn, arrived in the city. He at once set about trying to win for his father, the former either Packey McGarden or Jack Britton before the Garden Athletic Club for the date of March 7, which is the date the Garden Club has been holding out in hope of the proposed McFarland-Brittton bout. Manager O'Reilly is anxious and aggrievement Young Ahearn with either of the more mentioned boys, and he is willing to place a forfeit of $2,500 to bind the match with either boy. Ahearn, who is but twenty years of age, has met and defeated most every good lightweight and wetterweight boxer in the world, and is only the one that he met and gave to Jack Britton a hard fight at the Royal Athletic Club of Brooklyn. Among the boys whom the hard-hitting young Englishman has met and defeated are Dave Deshler, Harry Stone, Jack Goodman, Young McCartney, Young Erne, Tommy Maloney, Frank Loughee, hurley Holter, John Gorman, Griffin, Jack O'Brien, Grover Wells, Freddy Duffy and Tommy Ginley, as well as Jack Britton. RUBE AND BLOSSOM INCOMPATIBLE. PORTLAND, Ore.—Rube Marquard may reconsider that statement anent a retirement from the national pastime for one year. The Giant pitcher, during his retirement, with Blossom, Seely, fell out of step in one of the dances, which piqued Blossom something fierce. She forthwish refused to appear in the last scene of their act, stamped a foot or two in the sand. Blossom stated, Rube may, in consequence of this reconsider his retirement. JACK O'BRIEN GETS MATCH. PHILLADELPHIA—Young Jack O'Brien, of this city, was matcher by cable last week to meet Fred Welsh, lightweight champion in London, in a twelfth-place contest, Pontybrid, Wales, on April 2. Eugene Corril, of the National Sporting Club, London, will referee. A purse of $7,500, with a privilege of 60 per cent, of the gross receipts, 75 per cent, of the prize money, to the fight, which will be at the new English lightweight limit, 135 pounds. CROWN THEATER SHOW. About five hundred people watched the colored boxing show at the Crown Garden theater on one hundred of the number being women, both black and white. Kneckouts featured the card. Thunderbolt gibbons lunged up and knocked out the knuckle out Williams in the first round. Kid Brooks won from Kid McCoy in the third round. The Kid Oliver and Kid Young stopped by using Young Garner put Kid Gibson in the third round. CHAMPION SCORES KNOCKOUT. NEW YORK—Johnny Kilbane, featherweight champion of the world, for the first time in New York on the evening of the 19th, uncovered the stunt that won the championship from the 18th. It resulted in the knockout of George Kirkwood, of St. Louis. In the sixth round of their scheduled ten-round bout at the Empire A. C., Kilbane sent Kirkwood to the jaw. Referee Dan Tone, fearful of serious injury to Kirkwood, stopped the mill. This action gave Kilbane a technical knockout. Kilbane outfought Kirkwood in every round by flinting and then when Kirkwood came in close with a hook or a swing, Kilbane nailed him. Kilbane showed that he is not essentially snappy as an aggressive fighter, but a particularly good boxer, who wins his fight by good foot work. In the fifth round Kilbane dropped Kirkwood twice with left hooks to the face. The first blow came as he ran to the side of the head and he dropped to his knees, but bumped up without a count. He had hardly raised his hands when Kilbane caught him with another smashing blow and Kirkwood dropped. He was on his knees at the corner and when he $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO-DAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous deliberty, lack of vigor, 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 right in their homes, without any additional help or medicine—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 of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of man, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of delicent 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 they can be kept safe, weak and discouraged with repeated harm may drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what I believe is the instructing restorative, upbuilding, SPOT-TOTO and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me a line like this: "E. Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Detroit MI, and we send you a copy of this book we send you a ordinary envelope free of charge. A year many doctors would charge $3.00 to ask for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free." Men of Today Prefer the Spotlight Jim Flynn Considered a Most Consistent Worker (By BILLY LEWIS.) A writer whose observations will follow has considerable to say on the methods of training. It will be taken for granted that he has in mind the "good" ones, the training among many of the lesser training among many of the students especially so among our colored fellows, many of whom seem to think that training is merely a form and a fashion. This class is willing to sign up for a fight in the morning that is to be pulled off the same night. It is too often the case in training that the student she says she never thought of rehearsing her song until the day of the night she sang. She thought daily vocalizing a waste of time —"no sense in it." She was but one of a great class, and of course she got nowhere. It's a case of Esau being welded to his idol. Just got to let him sleep. Perhaps of all the things that men do none is so jealous of attention as those requiring use of the limbs. A celebrated violinist on being asked how long it would take to play the instrument well, replied twenty hours each day. Of course, he overshot the mark in the hyperbolean answer, but one will not fall to catch his meaning. When one sees those marvelous jugglers of the theater tossing balls and cans, he will be amazed by the various other things and catching them with the precision of a machine, he thinks of the great amount of time that has been required to bring about such perfection, and he will be amazed by the begin with, but gift merely is not sufficient—the gold mine is not worth thirty cents until you do something to it. These jugglers, men and women, can they afford all the clubs to grow stuff. They can not afford the unmished their sense of accuracy of distance and location. They must work every day if they would ward off insinuating deceptive behavior, said that if he missed practice a day he knew it, if he missed two days he knew it and if he missed three days everybody knew it. Here's another exaggerated case, but the truth, nevertheless, is in the gen- Speaking again of the jugglers, what they do seems humanly impossible. Those features are not always held to be the real thing, but they are a kind of think of the skill of those in this line as seen on the vaudeville stage of today he will concede that no salary is rightfully too high for them. The same can be said of the birds, which fly through the air polishing lightly on the limbs of their co-workers just as birds do on the limbs of trees. Such birds are not used to a minimum by their physical training which, in part, they neglect no day. . . . Noting the skill of these jugglers and hoop tossers one readily thinks of the ball players. There is no reason why there shouldn't be great pitchers who can put their arms up and throw the ball time. If they equal the vaudeville people, why should they ever drop a ball or misjudge a throw? Why shouldn't the game be of machine-like precision? It is largely that. But some excitement encourages their enthusiasm make plays that go against them. The spiritual man exceeds the physical in instances, when he does the excess things. The yelling crowd, plaque of farming out, other things tend to lift men out of that dead calm so essential to physical workers. A surgeon would make a good baseball man. A poet or a preacher would do better as a writer. A player would make a good baseball player—his passions are not moved. This has in mind the equalness of nature and not baseball talent which is yet aside. But to the writer, one DeWitt Van Court (the name). He has made a study of the methods of training of the leading prizefighters. He says: Professional boxers have varied and peculiar ways about training, and their leisure time is passed in many different While the system of training for a boxing contest is practically the same each has a somewhat different method of conditioning and different ways of passing their spare time around a training camp. The conscientious trainer has little time for anything else outside of the hard, monotonous grind, and the wrestler is still a harder task. The oldtimers seldom had an audience during their training stunts and for a contest, while the modern boxers take from four to five days to two or three weeks, a depence on the conditions, the circumstances under which they are to box, and the weather. The less work, of course, leaves more time for pleasures and rest. The knuckle fighters were placed in the hands of a coach, trainer and he alone was responsible for the physical definition of the fighter and his word was law at all times. Many of the so-called trainers of today are nothing more than massacres, and the training fighter also is the boxer who also is the sole judge of how his leisure moments are to be passed. The oldtimers seldom had an audience during the training, close to the fighter or manager to even get a peep, for the training was done in the camp and the dojoongs secret. Imagine some of our present day boxers doing their grand stand stunts alone or depriving them of the privileged charging or for a quarter to visit their training camp. Many of the oldtimers trained at roadhouses far from the end of a car line and a visit meant a long walk, unless you were fortunate enough to own, borrow, or own a horse and ride. Don't let anybody tell you that training faithfully for a fight is a pleasure. There are few fighters that like that part of it. Still, you can make that best of their work by getting all the pleasure out of it possible. Peter Jackson, the great Australian colored fighter, and in my opinion the greatest of his race, was a good shot and stunner in his life. But Peter Jackson passion for fast horses and never could get into his clothes quick enough to get in a seat behind a fast horse. He did all his training on the coast at Joe Deaveys's bride of Oakland, and could be seen any afternoon after his work, traveling up and down the road at a three-minute gait, looking for a horse with someone, or taking a night sight of his big black fellow coming down the road behind a fast horse, all smiles. It is safe to say that if he were alive today, automobiles would have no attraction for him, for he loved horses too Tom Sharkey was a hard and conscientious trainer, and had little time for anything else. Tom was up at 6 o'clock in the morning for a short walk and breakfast. At 9 o'clock he was on the road, and he hit it hard in turn, he a swim in Shortly after, he until 3 in the afternoon and after his afternoon work it was a massage, a THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTARTED COLORED NEWSPAPER. short rest and supper and into bed at 8 o'clock every night. This left the sailor little time for pleasure, and no wonder he was tough. I have ever seen and could do as much work as any three men, without tiring. While he was not particularly fond of training, he was conscientious and a good trainer. Jeffries perhaps carried as much work as any man who ever fought. I have often funnily run miles, without stopping, with thirty pounds of clothes on. Jim would steam like an engine, and when finished with his massaging, would feel good enough to rough house every time. When training in the mountains, much of his spare time was taken up in hunting and fishing. Jim could never resist a chance of this kind and it added greatly to his physical welfare. In the city, he put in his time in pool and card playing after his afternoon nap, with an occasional visit to the theaters. Jim Flynn can owe his time in the fighting game to his great systematic work of training, more than to any other thing. He was the most consistent and methodical trainer I have ever seen. He was always in the best position to leisure moments. He was a believer in doing everything on the minute and stopping at a set time. Flynn seldom left the training camp when he once started and set his whole mind on his work. He was always in the certain time, ate and slept at a certain time and always entered the ring in perfect condition. It made him a tough customer. He always knew he was a fast worker in training but did not wear much as many others. He always took good care of himself. His time was usually taken up in playing and trundling his baby into the nursery, and he was than his family affairs. He was also a regular attendant at his church. Training is such as a fighter makes it. The weight makers have the hardest time to get as much pleasure out of it as possible. BOMBARIER WELLS IS HERE AFTER McCARTY. British Heavyweight Champion Arrives From the Other Side Full of Confidence. NEW YORK.-Looking the picture of health, Bombardier Wells, the heavyweight champion of Great Britain, arrived the other day on the Mauritania and at once asked for a meeting of agreement to box Luther McCarty, the American champion, in this city. Wells said that he had come over from London in response to an offer he had received from the Garden Athletic Club, and that he would box McCarty ten rounds in the Madison Square arena some time next month or early in April. The English champion has accepted terms, whether McCarty has accepted terms, he lost no time in putting the question up to Gibson. He promptly received assurance that the young cowboy fighter would come through with his promise to fight much discussed question of supremacy. "I should very much like to box your new champion," said Wells on the way to the St. Denis hotel, "for he must be a good man since he has beaten Palzer. If I had been in my league, I should have won the bout with Palzer in the Garden last year. As a matter of truth I would have stopped Palzer in the first round if I had been as big and strong as I am now. I was exactly forty pounds lighter than Palzer and the hot weather was so much better than really unfit to fight such a big fellow. But I went in and did my level best, and while I was stopped in the third round when I was all in from my own exertions I am sure that the American sporting team would have with me. I weigh 200 pounds now, instead of 188, and I have come over here this early so that I can show what I can do before the weather grows hot. I probably will not get a chance to meet McCarty for at least seven weeks, which will ample time to get in tiptot condition. "I received an offer of a guarantee for a ten-round bout with McCarty in the Garden from Billy Gibson and that is why am here. Gibson treated me royally, and I am sure he will serve the first chance, but if McCarty refuses to sign for this bout I will be ready to fight him twenty rounds or to a finish at any time or place. No, I am not sewed with a tie. I am not sewed with McCarty at Vernon, Cal., on July 4, for, as I said before, I want to give the Garden a ten-round bout first, feeling absolutely confident of winning by a knockout inside of me. I am not sewed with the clever boxer and a hard hitter, but the place to show these qualities is the ring, not the vaudeville stage. "It was a big surprise to hear that Palzer had already sailed for France to fight Jack Johnson on Grand Prix night. It doesn't go to jail. I can have the match instead of Palzer. I never received an offer to box Palzer in London or Paris and even if I had I would have refused it because a fight with McCarty means not only that I am not sewed with any other man, black or white, and I intend to keep on fighting until I either have a clear title to the heavyweight championship of the world or I am finally convinced that as a fighter I miss "Willard can have a match if McCarty is afraid to meet me. I understand that Willard is a big, awkward fellow who knows something about the game. Did I know you were going to draw you say. Well, I'd like to box him just the same and I hope that we can fix it so that we will come together in the Garden, for I'd rather fight in New York than anywhere else in the country. I've been a New York sporting publir has treated me so hospitably that I know I'm among friends, and that means a lot to a chap in a strange country. There is no money to be made in the boxing game at home, but I am doing it is dying out over in France, so I'm here on business and I hope to enjoy success." Wells was accompanied by his wife, Sidney Wells, his brother, and Jem Maloney, his manager, who always trains him for the Ring. The British champion has the nod over in England clever enough to take it away from him in competition. Wells is called the handsomest man in pugilism. He is 6 feet 3 inches tall and is superbly put together. He has a fine crop of golden hair, a perfect set of teeth, and a strong jaw. He bores he is considered one of the best since Jim Corbett's time, while as a puncher it is the general opinion that he is pretty nearly the equal of Robert Fitzsimmons when the Cornishman was a world beater. Wells and his party will be quartered in the British Army, which until further notice, as the Briton prefers to train there. William McCarney, manager of McCary, came over from Philadelphia the other afternoon and had a talk with Gibson regarding big games along as he had an engagement to box in Altoona, Pa. McCary said that while McCarty was anxious to box Wells, he wanted to find out definitely just what terms he could get from the appointment for 1 o'clock here, when the club will make a formal proposition. Before leaving for Philadelphia McCary said: "McCarty isn't going to dodge Wells, but we must get the money. That is why I am going to have another talk with Gibson. Luther has improved wonderfully since New York fans saw him last. He has fairly won the white heavyweight champion Kaufman, Flynn, Carl Morris and Palzer. If the public demands it he will fight Jack Johnson, providing the Negro gets out of his present fix. But that may take a long time to good good man, McCary can be good man.

CHAMP JACK SUFFERS CHICAGO—Jack Johnson is ill at his home, $434 South Wabash avenue, with pneumonia, according to his attorney, Benjamin Brachach, who has so informed him that his attorney Bachrach appeared to determine which of the charges against Johnson, smuggling or violation of the Mann act, is to be taken up for trial on next Tuesday. He was taken up, it was decided, because the questions involved in the Mann act, which are pending in the United States supreme court, is ill with pneumonia at his home, I am informed," said Mr. Bachrach. "I went out to see him and he told me he is willing to go to trial if he feels well enough. I certainly. I won't have anybody pulled out of a sick bed to go to trial," said the court. The Negro prize fighter was indicted over a year ago on charges of smuggling into the United States, the white wife, Ethel Dureyce Johnson, who committed suicide a few months ago. FRENCH PROMOTERS TO FIX MIDDLEWEIGHT TITLE Paris.-Billy Papke and Frank Klaus, two American pugilists, who are contenders for the middleweight championship of the world, very probably will set the criteria contentious to fight at the Circus de Paris on March 5. Papke, at the time of Stanley Ketchel's death, was considered an excellent "hope" in the same class, but later met with reverses with Dave Smith, the Australian, Cyclone ohny Thompson and Frank Klaus, the King of the Ring. He get a decision in his one bout with Papke, has defeated Mantell, Thompson and others and easily defeated Georges Carpentier, the French "hope." Papke, too, whipped Carpentier, thus again mixing the two classes, but following the Cirque de Paris fight promoters have started on an elimination series of bouts that will include offers to several other American boxers. Jimmy Clabby and Jack Dillon, both Americans, have each scheduled for twenty rounds, it is likely the middleweight championship will be fixed before the summer is over.
