The New Tuskegie Pictures to be Shown Next Week Navarre Club to Entertain—Large Crowd Attend Bethel Literary—The Easter Minstrels. (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Freeman Bureau, 3000 State Street Phone number: 728-2880; Auto- number: 728-2881 CHICAGO, IL., March 19 (Special)-Mr. James Hunter, chief protection officer of the Juvenile Court of Cook county, was present at Bethel Sunday school on last Friday in the courtroom of seeing Chicago's Sunday school class of colored people, as he had only been thrown in contact with the class found in the courtroom. Mr. Hunter, chief protection officer and told the colored people that they must make their place in the affairs of American life and assist in making the institutions designed for the right rearing of children. "A Day at Tuskegee" Fatal arrangements have been made to show the moving pictures of the world-ruined institute at Tuskegee. Tickets go to prominent white and colored people will occupy boxes. A feature of the "movies" who will arrive in the city on March 31 and remain over for the pictures, April after adjunct will be the folklore singer of the city. Preserved at Tuskegee Institute. The James will be under the direction of Prof. Jamaicus big chorus which sang at Orchestra hall once weeks are will be on the program letters of the pieces of A. Anderson Watkins Film Company from all parts of the country, urging that the pictures be given in halls, may see this wonderful "innovation" from Navarre Club to Entertain. It has been quite a while since a dance has been given in Chicago that the city has been given the most of its admission. There will be an exception to this rule in the month of May, when the Navarrerant anticipate giving one of the most select dances seen in the Windy City. The president, Mr. John Williams, vice-president; Mr. Walter Abernathy, secretary; Mr. S. Felding, treasurer, and the committee of arrangements. These young men have secured Oakland Muscle Hall and one of the best orchestras in the city to furnish the. These young men are to be commended for their primary for the social entertainment of the young people of Chicago, as well as maids and matrons. The young men are negligent in their social duties toward the young society people of Chicago, but be prepared to give a dance to the young men planning to give a dance which will, from all indications, outclass any that has been written by a writer is personally acquainted with every member of the club, all being industrious, intelligent and programmatic. The affair will be very largely attended by the best respected people and that showers of commendation to be heaped upon them for so beautifully Bethel Literary Society. Another large crowd was present at Bethel Literary last Sunday to hear an address by Mr. Roberts, secretary of the church, who spoke of the upon "Brace Stimul" in forceful and impressive style. After the speaker had closed his address Mr. Flitts, the president of Bethel Literary, addressed oratory people in the audience to comment upon the subject as handled by the speaker. Among those called upon were Mr. Roberts, president of the Chicago bar; Miss Freed, in Mr. Coyce, Mr. Swanson and Hon. George W. Ellis all of whom made interesting remarks. Col. John R. Marshall left for Springfield this week on business. Editor Taylor Back in "Chi." Editor Julius F. T. Taylor, of the Chicago Broadway, the city from a distance, Washington, D.C., inaugurated President Wilson and made a trip to Harrisburg, Pa., to see his relatives. He was one of the few Democrats who when he took a trip, goes in first-class style and dresses. When Governor Dunne was inaugurated Mr. Taylor did not ride on a pass, but no money from him was received his expenses, was the honored guest to be received, and was at Springfield with the highest of commendations from those who know him. Mr. Taylor went under similar circumstances on a fast train, had a sleeper and porters to wait on him and everywhere he stopped was treated most cordially and please was worth reading. The Easter Minstrel. It is very commendable to see young men give their time and talent for a charitable cause. Twenty-five have baked themselves together to aid and help the Old Folsks' Home. This is not occasionally an effort of these young men, a comfortable sum is turned over to the home. The officers and members are Doc Smith, president; Wm. Winn, Carroll, treasurer; David McGowan, director; B. Waring, interlocutor; Isaac N. Dunlap, assistant director; Charles Settles, J. Childress, Dave Hawley, Dr. Joseph H. Plummer, Joseph Thomas, Ernest Oldham, Bert B. R. E. Moore, J. Joe Sheochar, Harry T. Cornwell, Ed Meyer and A. A. Brown. There will be usheres for the elderly and young ladies will sell衬衫. Fro mall indications, the minstrel will have a packed house, for everybody in Chicago state and each member. Tickets are in the hands of each member. Optometry Meeting. INDIANAPOLIS, IND., SATURDAY, MARCH 22, 1913 Woods Boger, will be in the city from California after Easter. Mr. Woods is well known in Chicago and has a host of friends hereabouts. Dekoven Thompson in Musicale Mr. DeKoven Thompson, author and singer, will give a musical at Bethel church April 14, assisted by Madame MacKay. The musical will be of the vocal and instrumental selections he has composed. In fact, it will be heard in the concert. We have often heard of an evening with Dunbar, when all of the numbers of this famous poet were given; but this is the first time he has been heard in music by a composer, aside from the late S. Coleridge Taylor. In selecting the music for this splendid judgment, we are today better than ever, and most likely the people of Chicago will urge us in large numbers to join us in this time some time since she has done solo work. Mrs. B. A. Jackson in Recital Mrs. R. A. A. Jackson Mrs. R. A. Jackson will render her initial recital at Bethel A. M. E. church. This event is held on the same evening as Mrs. A. Jackson's many friends, and Bethelites. Despite the fact that another recital will be given on the same evening, the coronation of Bethel church will be filled to its capacity, for she is one of Bethel's most important members of her talent and service to its literary, Sunday school and other departments. All who know Mrs. ackson know her to be a reader of unique ability and real merit. Odd Fellows Sermon The annual sermon of the Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of the city of Chicago will be held in May at the Baptist church, Thirth and LaSalle streets. At a meeting at the church, the Wells was selected as chairman and master of ceremonies, and Col. B. H. Johnson as chief marshal. Most likely Attorner will be selected as orator of the day. Death of Mrs. Pointer. Mrs. Elizabeth Pointer, of Maywood, Ill., a prominent social leader and woman of noted ability, departed this life, leaving a husband and a host of friends to mourn her demise. Dr. H. Reginald Smith will deliver an address at the National Medical Association at Nashville, Tenn., this summer. IN OLD PADUKE. C. M. E. Presiding Elders' Council—Burk's Chapel Banquet—Prof. Chas.

They are high-sounding ‘terms, and thus serve as a blarney for the thoughtless who would be wise and know things. ‘They owe whatever Of their effective ness to the unusual terms, rather than to their usefulness. Whatever may be done in the matter, @ republic is no place for the reeall of public officials as a ground principle of government. Ours is a representative government. The officials are simply ourselves over again, in that they carry out our no- tions. When failing, the consequence is swift and certain. Just to think of officials with the suspended swords over their heads, ready to fall at the whim of a few fac- tionists who are able to “have the peo- ple see things” as they see them. Says the Portland Oregonian in a recent is- sue: “The judicial recall in actual prac- tice is wholly negligible, No judge in Oregon fears it; none has been seri- ously threatened with it; none has ‘been subjected to its operations; none has shaped his course on the bench with any expectation, so far as one can see, that some day he might run coun- ter to it. If there is no stability or sanity or fairness in the people the country is ina sad way, Your judge in Oregon does not worry about the recall —not as much as a judge or two we know ought to worry, we think—but they all are concerned about. re-elec tion. What is that but a popular judg. ment of a judge's record or fitness, a recall in itself.” That the thing is not feared is proot enough that the thing was not needed. Because it is harmless does not excuse it. It is an offense to Republican prin ciples, and as such should be cut out. CONTESTING THE NEGRO’S RIGHT TO EXIST. A publication of London, England, commenting on what it chooses to call “The Black Peril,” in a recent issue had the following to say: “The wave of indignation now sweep: ing over the United States against the recent marriage of Jack Johnson toa white girl in Chicago, is nothing com: pared to the storm which will burst in this country if Englishmen do not speedily awaken to the real peril of the black invasion which has been go- ing on steadily for the last two years, “London is a paradise for the black man, and the American Negro ha: found it out. Every ship from the other side brings fresh arrivals te swell the large colony already here where they are treated on an equal footing in lodging and boarding houses.” Rather a strong note from “merric” England, but the expected, neverthe less. ‘The black man’s fight is around the globe, a fact we have been trying to make plain for years. Well, we are hore, and not at our own solicitation. Evidently He who had the ordering of things meant for black man to dwell on the face of the earth. If it is said that the original intent was for each race to occupy its own zone, it can also be said that the white folks were the ones who thought to change things America must go to Africa to bring in black folks. England is puddling about in Negro affairs in Africa, boss: ing them about, and now the thing is fnot liked. ‘The Negroes are right in ‘the matter. Shakespeare says thrice is he armed who has his quarrel just The ‘world seems to be contesting the black man’s right to exist. But some: how we will manage to be on the sceng when ‘tis all said and done. WANTED—OLD TEXTBOOKS. The government wants gifts of old or rare text-books—at least, the gov ernment bureau of education does. Government bureaus are so in the habit of giving away documents in stead of receiving them that a request like this warrants attention. ‘The point is that the United States bureau of education is endeavoring to get together the finest possible collec tion of text-books in English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, Scandinay- ian, Dutch, and Greek languages pub- lished within the last two centuries and hopes that possibly some of the many educators and investigators who have been recipients of the govern- ment’s bounty by receiving valuable documents in the past may return the compliment now with an occasional text-book of by-gone days. An anti quated speller or a musty Xenophon may be just the book needed to fill an important gap in text-book history. The library of congress is aiding in the task, and the bureau of education would appreciate gifts from individ nals as well. “When this library is complete,” says Commissioner Claxton, “it should become the Mecca of all students of this phase of education.” In the meantime, the bureau con tines to be generous in its oppor tunities to investigators, Tt now tas one of the largest and most complete isbraries of education in the world, con- taining about 70,000 bound volumes and 80,000 or more reports, pamph lets and periodicals. Almost any of these books hot obtainable in ordinary libraries may be secured by teachers and bona fide students of education, either through the local library or di- rectly from the bureau of education, under certain conditions. Requests should be made to the librarian. ‘Another important assistance ren- dered by the bureau of education is to commissions investigating particu lar phases of education. Without, cost other than that of coming to Washing ton, representatives of these commis: sions may find practically everything that is now In print in pampblets, books, or magazines on any subject of education, including educational egislation, frequently accomplishing in a few days or weeks what would otherwise take months. The bureau of education thus fulfils a peculiar public service in acting as a source of educational information, and real seek- ers after knowledge will find every aid and encouragement given them by those in charge.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION St. Patrick's day was very glorious this year--nice, warm sunshine everywhere. Charles A. Bookwalter, two times mayor, threatens to come back. Can he do it? These glad March days are very much appreciated. If we can manage to work in a few more of them we will be able to say, "Get be hind me, Winter!" To tell the truth about the matter, we fail to see much opportunity for finespun theories on tariff reduction or tariff maintenance. Covering the difference in the cost of the two productions—at home and abroad—is all we can see, "try we ever so hard." It looks as if we are to have the triangular campaign repeated this fall. The Republicans and Progressives have refused to fuse up until this time. The dog-in-the-manger feeling seems to be on. The dog could not eat the hay and it would not permit the ox to do so. Who's the ox in this instance? Who's the dog? This is the mental puzzle which the two parties are trying to figure out. Races can be of mutual help, said Booker T. Washington in his recent Montgomery (Ala.) speech. Indeed they can be if the dear white folks would only think so. Of course, they are mutually helpful in that they provide the colored people work. It appears, however, that they might let people alone in their love affairs. Why, the parents of individuals can't always manage affairs of that kind. The legislators in the various states who have been busy with anti-inter who are being so gallantly defended. The defense is gratuitous and ill advised. The marriageable portion of the white people know whom it wishes to marry without extra intervention. According to report, our Mayor Shank of potato fame will enter vaudeville when his term of office expires. Mr. Shank will draw $400 per week, which, he said, was mighty sweet. He said that it was easy money. The mayor is an auctioneer by occupation. If there's a better one, let him speak up now or forever hold his peace. His gift of speech, his wit, his humor, won him his offices. He is not an ornate man—just a plain, blunt fellow. He is the very best of his kind. Congress did a very good thing when it passed a bill which provided for the protection of the migratory birds of the country. It is a move in the right direction. The avowed sportmen may think of the law as a hardship, since it means that his sport possibility is greatly reduced. Posterity is to be served; and the government is on its best mission when conserving forests, the fish of our streams, the birds of plumage, alsoongsters and the game birds men- Our patrons and the public in general has been enlarged. One more column has been added to each of the eight ages. These columns are two inches longer than those of our former issues. Pressure of business demanded this increased space. In order to meet the demand and still maintain our lead in the foremost Negro journal we made the necessary change. We present this with no extra cost to our readers. As great as our subscription list is, there is yet room for more names. We hope that our enlarged publication will appeal, and in a soothing sense. The high standard will also improved. The price will retain $1.50 per year as usual. However we may theorize about high tariff and low tariff, we cannot get away from the one fact that goods manufactured abroad are produced at less cost than those at home. This being true, some protection is suggested at the condition. It is all very well to put forward beautiful propositions of industrial independence, freedom from governmental paternalism and that, but if $15 suits at home are only $10 when sent in from abroad, somebody's going to get stung. Perhaps the thing is not so easy all along the line, but it strikes us the principle is about the same. We are not in protection that makes millionaire manufacturers in a few years. We are in for covering up the difference the cost of the two productions, so that when the good that are the same each market there is an even break. THE OLD ORDER CHANGETH Abdul Hamid, ex-Suttan of Turkey, according to his diary which is now being published, was a far-seeing, craftsman. He makes it plain that the strength of the Ottoman Empire is based on the weakness of the position, brought about by the antagonism among the forces that opposed it. Speaking in a somewhat prophetic strain, he says: "Dissensions and mutual mistrust condemn the Balkan states to total impotence and the role of instruments of others. It is true that our domination in Europe is based on disagreements amongst the Balkan nations. How can Russian journalists imagine a fusion amongst them? Serbs and Bulgars dislike each other, and the Bulgars hate the Roumanians, whilst Greeks and Bulgars are enemies to the death. The religious struggle of 1870 has divided the Greeks and Bulgars for eternity." The Turkish ruler based his judgment on passing events, and had not the opposition concluded that Turkey could only be driven out of Europe by united assault the map about the Mediterranean would be as it was. The wise old Sultan left fusion out of his calculations, and perhaps it was wisdom in his day. But things change, sentiment, activities—everything except Turkey. The progressive process of the world has marched on by that country, leaving it fairly alone in its latter-day mediaevalism. The old diplomacy of intrigue at a neighboring court in the interest of a divided opposition has given away to the strong white lite of sincerity—honor. It extends to the fields where men battle well because there is a deep sense of patriotism, and well founded. The Japanese in the war with Russia were such a people. The simple direct life of the Rulers of the Ottoman Empire. The men fought well because they knew what they were fighting about. They had rallying cries, well founded. The same cannot be said of the Russians, consequently, their greatest interest was to save their lives. The united front of the Balkan states was formidable because the various courts refused longer to be moved by the voice of intrigue, which had for centuries brought nothing about except dissensions and defeat. The result is now known, and which was brought about with a directness that did not hint defeat. THE ASSASSINATION OF KING GEORGE OF GREECE The news of the assassination of King George of Greece caused genuine sorrow throughout the world. Perhaps no sovereign was so greatly regarded. This, one will think, was due to the traditions and the history of the country. The glory that attended ancient Greece has not totally fled the country. When we think of art in all of its various phases, we think of Greece. When we see the poor Greek peasantry struggling in America, we think of the glorious characters that the books tell about. We try to identify their features with those of the ancients, thinking of the possible revival of Greek letters, art in her latter-day sons and daughters—her glory on land and sea. The scepter has departed from Greece. Nevertheless there are memories. We cannot forget the great. We would not if we could. Then the patriotism of the Hellenic sons. Wherever they are they answer with one voice the cries of the native land. The woman sacrifice and the old men—unanimously—giving up their support, their sons, saying in the spirit, would to God it were more. It is no wonder that mankind feels the loss of the sovereign of such a people. Then the fine personality of the King, his manlike spirit, his war-like spirit and, finally, his god-like spirit. He chafed at the narrow bounds to which he had been reduced by his ancient enemy, the Turk. He chafed at the semi-vassalage and would hear to nothing by the utmost freedom for himself and his people. His splendid ambition proved when he stood in the field alone, when his allies were arguing peace. The world was aawed by what it considered his audacity, but the Greek knew his man; he knew the Turk. His allies found it necessary to return to the scenes of war. King George was splendidly connected. The great royal houses of Europe were none the less owing to the presence of sclons of his relatives by marriage. The Grecian King, when he came to the throne, found himself propped up by tradition, history, and which is also the heritage of the Greek. He fitted in well with the past, was equal to the present and mapped out a greater future as if he felt the need. Had he been half a King he would still have been great, owing to Greece, but he filled his sphere completely, which, together with the history of his country, made him a formidable figure regardless of his small kingdom. WHICH SHALL BE SWALLOWED UP? From indications, we will have a merry war among the leading political parties for supremacy in the approaching contest for mayor. The Republicans and Progressives refuse to reconcile, each insisting that it is the "it." The Progressives proudly refer to their strength, their record of vote getting in the last campaign. If there is to be any merging they contend that it should be in the interest of their party. The youth of their party nor its prospects for a long life are not figured in the claim. It stakes all on the one point—bigness—notwithstanding the possibility of an unhealthy growth. Noting the fine set of men offered as candidates for mayor by the Progressive party, one will readily conclude that it is not without an abundance of good timber, and of a good following. This, however, is not proof of the uselessness of the Republican party. The same old questions of the last campaign arise again. What advantages are set forth by the new party? What new principles? What reforms? When these questions are satisfactorily answered it will stand to reason that the Republicans should be absorbed by the new party. But can these questions be successfully answered? So far, they have not been answered. The vitality of any thing depends on its life-giving principle or principles. The Progressive party may offer as much as other parties—and we think it does. Its leading members are enlightened men. They are not obstructionists. They are progressives as its name indicates. But what of all this if the Republican party or the Democratic party has the same offerings? That the Republican leaders have been leaders for many years is but an incident to the party. That the Democratic leaders of today are the same as those of yesterday has nothing to do with its principles. Sometimes it is necessary to have freshness in polls to have the party barring a burning, soul things and obstructions are loosened of their fastenings and swept outward and onward. The earth is sweetened by the freshests. Political parties are sweetened in a like manner. There is no need for the destruction of parties THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLOR that still cling to the old faiths, if those faiths are saving. The Republican party, the Democratic party, as we view it, are very similar in their intents. Either are trying to give the people what the people expect, and thus preserving the character of the government. If the Progressive party deserves special mention it is because it arrested the progress of the country toward oligarchy; not that new principles of value were set forward. They spurred up the old parties to the sense of their duty, and which are now demanding of the leaders that they be truly representative, and not oligarchial. Perhaps no one denies the Progressives this ability to resist the right to could retire, rather than complicate political affairs. It has done its mission. It has received its credits. The right-about-face is on at its command; what has it yet to do? Surely it will not enter the squabble for the more fishes and loaves after having been such a beautiful and effective whip. The Republican party is old and tried. Youth is not a crime, but youth has neither experience or reputation. If there is any swallowing done, it should be done by that party which has been tried.

Special to The Freeman HARRIET TUBMAN, ONCE FAMOUS NEGRESS, DEAD Led More Than 300 Slaves to Freedom —Spy and Nurse in Civil War. Special to THE FREEMAN. NEW YORK—Harris Tubman, once a slave, was born as the "Moses of her people," died recently at the Harriet Tubman for Aged Negroes at Apurb, N. Y. She was regarded by many as the most renowned woman of this continent, and nearly as she herself could tell she was between ninety-five and one hundred years old. Pneumonia was the cause of her death, and she was the first high esteem by such persons as Ralph Waldo Emerson, William Lloyd Garrison, Horace Mann, Frederick Douglas, Gerritt Smith and Katherine Smith. As Knocked Overserse Down. Of pure Ashantee blood, she was born in Dorchester county, Maryland, and at an early age gave indication of her real identity. She was an officer of overserse, who was on the point of whipping one of his men, and knocking him down. For this she received a blow from an iron weight which crushed her skull and caused a victim of somnolency over a few years after. Harriet Tubman was one of the originators of the underground railroad. During her time, she had escaped from the South, she piloted more than three hundred slaves to two twenty trips into the South, she made more than twenty trips into the North, and Virginia, where there were rewards amounting to more than $40,000 for her escapes. When the war came she gave her services as a spy for the Union army at the Battle of Gettysburg, she chusets, and during the four years of struggle was under fire many times and nursed the wounded in army hospitals. She has been described by John Brown as "one of the bravest and best persons on the continent" and by Wendell Phillips as "one of the most courageous cause than many captains and colonels. Mrs. Sarah H. Bradford has written a book about her called Harriet, who was a captain in the army she said that. She led our forces through the swamp and jungle, guided by an unseen guide, and led us to the book that Harriet, known during the war as General Tubman, was able to purchase a home at Auburn, which she later gave to her husband, as a home for aged and infirm Negroes.

I would like to say a few words of comment on a colored ball player. Mr. W. J. Forker who is Fort Omaha for about seven years, is considered by both white and colored people as one of the best managers in the league. Fort Omaha colored teams that want a good manager would try and get him. Ford was manager of the Omaha Gladiators seasons, he was a key player for the he could pick up. He hasn't had very much money behind him, but has always made money for the teams of the Northwest as the black McCray, and all of the white aggrressions know that when they meet Ford's team they have a tough game on them. The sporting editors of Omaha write Ford up as they do managers of the large teams. Manager Ford said that he would be in the field this season. Giants would be in the field this season. I thought I would give him this little wipe-up, but I thought of a good team of him plitting a good team. Ford isn't a playing manager any more, but can play the game if he has to. Ford was considered the fastest second team in the league. Ford and he has played on some of the fastest white semi-professional clubs in the Northwest, and I hope he can play well. This Ford can be found at 2307 North Twenty-fourth street, Omaha, Neb. A WHITE PAN. DESIRES EARLY GAMES. Mr. Theodore Strong was in the city this week in the interest of the Marion Giants, of Marion, Ind., which club has a strong domestic season, and is one of the strongest teams in the state.

Week of March 10th, 1913. —Against the strongest opposition of the most carelessly selective conquerors finally realized real colored headlines in Philadelphia this week. The blue ribbon winners were Waddell & Hayes, the Grosse Pointe Dame and the Diminant. The bill included The Musical Seminoles, Extraordinary Artist; Buster and the Grosse Pointe Dame, and Russell, sister team, and the Grotesque Dancing Comedians, Mason and Howard. We were turned away every night and at two of the matines, from eight until eleven, the blocking of the streets compelled the management to put on extra officers to satisfy the police demands. FOOTLIGHT FLASHES FROM WASHINGTON. D. C. S. H. Dudley in "Dr. Beans From Boston" has been playing to capacity houses bright on the floor, and everybody the show is in. Dudley wears a broad smile as he scans the box office record of 22,000 paid admissions for the week. S. Tutt Whitney's Southern Smart Set welcomes of Washington advertised in booked for the week March 21 at the Howard. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis is preparing for a long tour of the South. Lew W. Henry has had the biggest house of the year this week, with the high-class Griffin Sisters and Joe Johnson as attraction. He is the most prominent man on the Dudley chain of theaters. "The Mikado" may be repeated soon, with more changes in the original cast. The Howard University Dramatic Club is to give an al fresco performance of "Dessalines" on the campus in May. The Dudley Company was given a fine "show-out" Friday night on the regular performance. WASHINGTON (D. C.) THEATERS Chelsea. Baby Charles opened the bill, going fine, olives and Gresson in a great dress, and the electric effects, closed the bill with rounds of applause. Mrs. Thomas deserved the office lady in the land, assuring success for the Chelsea to her courtesy to all. She certainly Fairyland. Winfred and Martain, Chinman and coon, went big. The Misses Sipp and Ringgold, America's greatest lady team, came early to return date. The Fairlyland sure is playing big time acts naw and with an increase of price still has them. The more some little girl, also Allen and Morton, those two boys. Miss Sutton is on the bill with them this week. I saw first show tonight. I was cleaning up with a A.C. Fellowed Me. Blue Mouse. Susie Sutton opened with a good Spanish act and went big, followed by Princess Sotainka, in the Dance of Death. Three pictures close a nice bill to a good crowd. ALABAMA MINSTRELS, EL PASO TEXAS. About the best Negro minstrel show that El Pasoans ever saw was that one night by the Alamo Baso minstrel. The house was well filled and the audience, black and white alike, laughed or applauded heartily throughout the event. There were also several acts that would win applause anywhere. Hi Henry, the contortionist and fireman was a real novelty and ate one the night. And anywhere, Among other feats he took a small frying pan full of burning alcohol and ate it in a spoon, the flames leaped out. Then he covered a string with alcohol and set it on fire and took it into his mouth; as a final iron from a dinner's furnace, walking to the front of the stage and putting it into his mouth. The audience could hear it. Arthur Prince, the juggler and hoop roller, is a real expert. There are hoop rollers on the best vauduelle circuits in country who have no better feats than he, difficult feats as Prince. His hoop roller is nothing short of wonderful. Similar acts have appeared at Hammersvelt's in New York One of the strong features of the show is that the comedians are real comedians. They are the funest Negroes that it has ever to see. They are the pervers to see. Watson, a big black fellow, is a fine singer and a natural funner. Lots of white men behind a mask of blackness, but with money than this Negro, are not such good entertainers. Edwards, his partner, is almost as good. He has a voice that gets from the very start, and the acting between these two men is a real screen. The quartet is also very good. The musicians sing in splendid harmony at the start, and in good comedy, the best of which is the imitation of a caliphe. Watts also gives a comedian a ton of tambone, and forms some specials, a lunch of cigars. He can keep two lighted ones inside his mouth while he smokes an e-liquid and then bring the lighted ones out e-liquid inside his mouth and chews a smokes it at the same time, blowing out both smoke and sparks. The first part includes some good dancing, a number of songs that are not at all difficult, and as new as the average minstrel puns. The show concludes with a planation far more complex than some good dancing and a great deal of comedy. El Pasos who missed the attraction at the time of its enchantment, or it has been a long time since it was popular, much entertainment for the price at the Paso theater. C. L. Erickson, former manager of the show, trotters, son of a millionaire is owner and manager of the show, and takes pride in the line of dark-skinned talent. EASTERN THEATRICAL NEWS (By Billy E. Jones.)

CHICAGO, IL, March 19 (Special—Shelton Brooks and Clarence Browne was really a lot more fun than the second show. Now really the people almost went into convulsions and that the laughter was as continuous as that. While we do not wish to compare Mr. Brooks with our famous artist, he certainly did make people laugh and laugh, and laugh some more as well as at other theaters as it did on the south side, its "peaches and cream" for them on the best time, but it gets kids, and many of them. But as for Shelton, he has a line of talk and funny songs. They are immense. One show is usual, but the other is just to have a great big, hearty THE FREEMAN, laugh while Shelton and "Bowensy" were on the bill, opened with Fredrick and his company, magicians; Jack Murphy Tri, very good.

Note: An article including a number of personal experiences and anecdotes that I hope will prove interesting to all, amusing to some, and instructive to a few. On the Road to Success. The bugle calls "attention!" the drums rattle and the bands play. From amid the cheering crowds and the waving flags in motion moves out upon the road to victory. Some who compose the army are fired by love of adventure; many are influenced by hopes of reward, promotion and fame. While many are driven by gaud stalking necessity, while the "going" is easy. The route of the army stretches through a pleasant country of green meadows, a night seated around glowing camp fires, the soldiers are sustained and inspired by tales of easy conquests, rich spoils and undying but soon the aspect changes, the marches are longer, the roads are rough and steep. Often the soldiers are armed with a fire or food. The merciless sun blisters and scorches them. Knapsack and gun become unearable burdens, with chattering Hercules to come along and give them a short respite from the weight upon their shoulders. The nights are bleak and cold, sometimes with chattering teeth and shaking limbs, they wrap their blankets about them and huddle close to the smouldering fires in a futile effort to Now there is much complaining. The wisdom of the expedition is questioned. The laggards fall behind, those physically incapable are sent to the hospital. There are many deserters. The laggards reach the enemy's country. Everywhere it is confronted with evidences of hostility. Everything possible is done to impede the sorties must be made to clear a way for the invaders. Furious, nerve-racking, death-dealing night atattack is necessary for rest and small time for sleep. The army is worn, haggard, foot-sore, homesick and weary—so we wear hickens and a heavy toll. But with tenacity of purpose and indefatigable courage the army moves onward, ever onward. Right. Again a wave of enthusiasm sweeps the army. Suffering, hard-ships, disappointments and jealousies are forgotten, swallowed up in the army. Preparations are made for the final assault. But now, at the supreme moment, there are many who find that the march is not worth the effort. They are unable to make the final dash. How bitter their disappointment. Also there are stories afloat, no doubt, that the city is invulnerable, and the army will be annihilated. The timorous are disheartened, the cowardly are remain uninhibited, the irresistible irritated. "Charge!" The officers shout it, the bugles blow it, the tide, the invading army, all-conquering, over-powering, onward they charge. Cannon roads, rifles, flash, sheels shriek. The enemy's army, Bayonets and sabres clash as fce fees mee in deadly combat. The groan of the wounded, the moan of the dying army, the roar of the grounded horses. Now is heard the fierce,肩嚎 shouting of men, crazed by the lust for blood. The air vibrates with the rumble and concussion of mighty gunpowder and black fire, sulphurous, envelops all like a huge funeral pall. But suddenly, above the roar and din of ever increasing in volume and power, it passes from lip to lip, troop to troop, regiment to regiment; the distant to distant, reverberates from mountain peak to mountain peak; the hamlets in the valleys catch it and pass it on from town to town, city to city, state to state, one happy, clamorous, soul-inspiring shout of victory. Once again the trumpets blare, the flags wave to the people shout. The triumphant army of invasion has returned. But only—only a pitiful, scarred and maimed remnant of the army that started on its It is easy to draw an analogy of the army of invasion on the road to success. The road to success. Note how great is the number that start in every occupation and profession, the number that reach the top and join in the glad shout of victory. It is hardly easy to reach the top and join in the easy—so easy to enumerate those who finish. We are no short cuts to success. Success can only be obtained by patient, persistent and well-directed effort. But is there anything that can be gained from success, ever appreciated or ever worth while? Even as the victors from the army of invasion are satisfied, so must the victors in the army of progress show marks of the conflict. After success, the victors often ask themselves if it was really worth the effort. Sometimes I hope to join in the shout and answer the question. On the Road. My voice was just passing out of the "gosling" stage, where it had played many quiet pranks upon us. I was on the road. Puglesley Brothers' Warriors were short of a man for their quartette. My friend, a man, told him he had a brother at home who could sing some, and they telegrambed for me. Was there ever a question about it? No, there was no question of salary. It was the opportunity for which I had longed, that I had dreamed about and I nabbed the right grab a hot pie from an open window. And a week, when the manager was magnificent, grabbed the munificent salary of a 4 week. I accepted with alacrity. I would have worked for less. Very often I did, but I was serving the men with care, with pleasure and information, and I have never regretted it and will always feel the men who gave me my first opportunity. Never will I forget those first, happy, warm days. We were playing the small towns in Indiana and we never traveled before and everything was new to me. I learned to read music with my father, and we were making their living by singing who could not read music. So, there were people making their living by good memory, made my work with the quartette easier than I anticipated. The men spent in sight-seeking and an appetite like an ostrich, it was insatiable, a wonder to all who saw me eat and drink. It was in Carlisle, Ind. At the hotel where we stopped, the landlady had just sixteen different varieties upon the table all of which she submitted for my appraisal. These were extra fine and would have passed the inspection of the pure-feed experts flying the blue ribbon. I ate until the night. That night I had sixteen different kinds of cramps. For two weeks they had hard work from too much preservation. I still suffer from too much preservation. My First Solo. Never will I or those who heard me forget my first solo. It was a bass solo, enrol me, a difficult selection and worthy of my fort. I have never made another public attempt to render it. My brother and I have been the great event and both pronounced me equal to the occasion. We were playing Gossypium and we were a national country school house. I can remember the desks and the blackboards with their familiar inscriptions. A large drum set and a large bass set of coal a coal box half the coal was just beside the stove. The audience was typical of the town and school house, with one exclamation of an evening's diversion, drifted in to hear our concert. His down-to-date attentiveness of the audience distinguished him from the others. He near the stove and just beside the coal box. The audience roared with delight at the music upon a fence, Chinamen in a laundry, the steam calope and the coontown band, but the drummer of a stoil indifference until I started my solo. The "drummer's" hand now rested upon the coal box. This took my last particle of my voice and I was able to my voice changed from a rumbling bass to a squawking falsetto. My brother left me in a prison and I never knew when I finished the solo. The voice of Charley was in a tense whisper he said: "Shelam, in a down, you're through." The platform and lurched in a chair. My manager felt that he must say something to encourage me, so he whispered, "I'm in you. In my mind I agreed with him and was very glad it was out. The "drummer's" hand was resting on a lump of coal. I continued." UNIVERSAL DETECTIVE AGENCY. DETECTIVES WANTED—Young men to operate in own locality, secret service work.

I posted a notice in the car Friday morning, and in less than fifteen minutes the team was rained out, fifth contribution is by the Southwest Smart Set Company this season for the relief of performers in distress. Only one team can make this contribution close made this the smallest contribution. Selfishness leads the category of sins. One must be selfish indeed that will not con- tinue to make the relief or a sister or brother in need. "Felicitas multos habet amicos" (Prosperity has many amicos) not any. This should be indelibly impressed upon the minds of all performers. Selfishness should be laid away for the "rainy day". Every company should have its relief fund. A small contribution to the fund should be made to the season, the portion of the fund still unused should be equally divided among the members of the company. "Verbum THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELPHIA, PA. One of the difficult things in vaudeville is to sing and act a dialect song so that it will stir an entire audience to create a new kind of comedy. One of the comedies in vaudeville who has this knack, and this week at the Auditorium she was so warmly welcomed by the audience, and eclectic dancing kept as long as she did if she had had the necessary material at hand. The bill had gone to Moore, singers, dancers and comedians, among the foremost on the list. A unique selection was the singing and dancing of Leona Marshall, whose expressive and eclectic singing up the fun. Even Robinson and White, who also sang and danced, gave a lively offering, created a whirlwind, just. Moore created a whirlwind. Just. The violin playing was music of excellent quality and of a melodiousness to please every listener. TO THE MEMBERS OF THE SMART SET COMPANY. Miss Blanche Howell, a former member of the cast of the musical Comet in distress. She needs assistance very badly; those wishing to contribute to a find for her relief, will kindly sign name and amount comedy, the same will be immediately. L. D. JOEL, THE THEAT. RICAL KING THEATERS ANOTHER THEATER L D. Joel, president and general manager of the L D. Joel Theater Company, added another link to the chain of theaters by purchasing the Famous theater, which has a force of contractors at work and will spend several thousand dollars for improvements. The grand opening will be on Monday, March 11, the name of the theater will be Dixie No. 10, the authority of the new house will be five-cent vaudeville and pictures. The theater is directly across the street from the Dixie No. 10, another of Joel's theaters which will be a ten-cent vaudeville picture house. The Joel theater on Peter street, five and ten-cent vaudeville and pictures, Central theater on Peter street will be a twenty-five-cent stock and vaudeville. The the atrical king has four colored theaters in Atlanta, one in Chattanooga and Augusta, Savannah and Jacksonville to follow. Keep your eye on Joel, he is now in a position to manage the business. You can get six to ten weeks in Atlanta alone, playing his four houses: Central, Joel, Dixie No. 1, and then Chattanooga, Memphis, Savannah, Jacksonville and Augusta to follow, so get busy and join Joel's circuit. THE GLOBE THEATER, JACKSONVILLE, FLA. The week of the 17th inst., opened at the Globe theater with a bill seldom if ever excelsed. Frank Crowd as manager and producer. Low Kenny as manager and producer, they are giving to the people of Jacksonville, the very best obtainable. The bill are the Arrants in a very clever musical act and aside from getting all as one would think from the slide, with the assistance of his hands, they are giving to the audience when he brings his foot into play, and very cleverly renders the "Barber Shop Csord," while Miss Arrant knows. Then comes Hester Kenton. You all know her. She is still receiving encores, and you are laughing from start to finish, with their favorite and the idiot of the gallery goods. Jenkins and Jenkins are in for their share of the honors, keeping the audience laughing from start to finish, with their favorite and the idiot of the gallery goods. Now you can tell who is on Everybody smiles, not laughs, mistaken again, for they are screaming, Uncle Chintz laughing from start to finish, ager Crowd snapping down the middle aisle with that smile of satisfaction and lean against the post. You believe in sigma, that is, that you. Your stay unfinite, that is good. Yet uncle Chintz is the oldest active comedian on the stage. Well he improves his comedy, but he excuses me, wives his comedy fine. Lew Kenner is still here, quite a favorite, twenty odd weeks and is still pleasing. We are now wondering which is the older, Uncle Chintz or Daddy Lew. Lew says Chintz, of course, cliting him back forty years ago, when Billy Kersands was Uncle Chintz "pick." Now, you can beat that? It is rumored that it being unlawful to buy human beings, Manager Crow has legally adopted little Lew. It is true, Mille Williams, of the team of Kenner and Williams, has been called home on account of the serious illness of her brother, Symon, to her from her friends in the profession. LYRIC THEATER, MIAMI, FLA A. Beautiful Playhouse. On Tuesday evening, March 4, the doors of the beautiful lyric Lyric Theater were thrown open with the promise of no use to try to describe the enthralling experience the opening was greeted, for the colored population of Miami simply went wild. To begin with, the theater is one of the most beautiful places in the city, and it is beautiful. It is owned bzy a colored man and believe me, it is some theater! The audience is borne in the South, but none like the Lyric. The house is pure white, with green and gold hangings, a beautiful balcony running entirely around the house, hammered brightly with gold and silver. The scene scarcely painted by L. Don Bradford. The front drop is especially a work of art. The audience must have been about 900 people in the audience, for they were packed in like sardines. On the bill was Charle Koots, a black-face comedian, late of the Johnny Jones' Shows, who was a scream from start to finish. He is a very clever little man, and he was a great entertainer. Tuesday night, he has established himself as a favorite with Miami theatergoers. He was compelled to respond to seven of his plays, and he managed him for stock, so he will be in Miami for quite a while. He sends regards to the Johnny Jones' bunch and all of his friends. Next on the bill was Trixie Smith, late of the Brooks-Smith players, who had the lead in the second half, and light two minutes after she had been on the stage. She took so many encores that it looked as if the rest of the band had been on stage, but finally the audience was content to let her go. There is no doubt of her being the favorite songwriter of the band, by the management for eight weeks and we probably stay longer. The trixie Smith, ballad singer and straight man, whose reasoned "All That I Ask Is Love" left nothing to be missed, was the grandgaphone player a was masterpiece. He will also be in Miami indefinitely as straight man with the Lyric Theater Stock com- Following Mr. Sears was Mme. Kathryn Berry will her daughter Sara play the piano and the bill just the touch of class that it needed. She was never in better voice than on Tuesday evening, and as from then like classical music as well as ragtime. Mme. Berry can only stay for three weeks, as she is booked so she will be in the audience for a return date as soon as possible. Fifth was Annie St. Claire, singing comedienne, and very much liked by the patrons of the Lyric and she will also be a member of the stock company for the season. She is never more introduced, needs no introduction to readers of The Freeman, as his work as a black-face comedian is always a big draw. She was never funnier than on Tuesday night. He has a brand new bunch of jokes and each one went over with a laugh. He is always packed in the audience wanting more. He has been secured as producer and stage manager, and from the way he plays, he is a comedian, most funny after-piece staged by C. H. Coffey, entitled, "Liza's Birthday Party," that also brought the dreams of many of Coffey and Charlie Koots. The musical call of the program was ably taken care of by Henry ascha, the musician, and the drums—"Nuf sed." The genial manager of the Lyric, Mr. C. C. Maultsby, who booked the show, planned the theater, expresses himself as being delighted with each one of his people. The prophet and author, Mr. C. Maultsby, was wearing the smile that stays forever, and immediately after the show the whole company was tendered. The passenger touring car, Everyone expressed themselves as being delighted with the beautiful city of Miami specially, and all anticipate a very pleasant stay here. Mr. C. C.

NEW YORK—Packey McFarland's clean visit to Pack Britton in the Garden the other night was a live topic. No sooner than the battle was over McFarland received an invitation to go to Packey McFarland's office of Chicago. McFarland readily accepted and met among others at a neighboring restaurant State's Attorney Macy Clark of Edward Fleming, attorney Edward Fleming, Corporation Counsel Sexton, Alderman Al Tierney, Oscar Mayer and Carter H. Harrison, Jr. Macy Clark mentored McFarland for his splendid showing. "It was the first boxing bout I had seen in twenty years," said the mayor, boxing is a fine athletic sport. I remember when I was a student at Yale that boxing bouts were far and manly, just like the bouts in the rejections to such exhibitions under the restrictions and regulations that prevail here and I am in favor of the proposed now pending in the Illinois legislature. McKairan explained to Mayor Harrison suit of the bout, although he showed a slight bruise over his left eye and a scar on his right cheek, feeling like a two-year-old colt. His supper consisted of a bowl of bread and milk and a small bowl of creme, in beetroot went to the Bronx and creme in beetroot. NEWSPAPER. ! o'clock in the morning. He was up 10 o'clock and had some interesting things to say. He didn't been for Manager Gibson I would have walked out of the Garden without boxing when I heard that Britton's money had been attached," he declared. "I don't care for such tangles and furthermore I object to being in a room just before the bout several men who are closely identified with Britton and his manager asked me to bet on the result of the bout. They wanted me to place a bet on the bout to 6, and mentioned the name of a certain newspaper to decide it. I told them that I didn't bet and that as soon as the boxing game got mixed up with gambling "Both Tierney, my manager, and myself were roundly abused and even the boxing inspector who had charge of the boxing ring, was very angry of the fellows who seemed to be the ring-leader. It looked like a nasty mess for a few minutes, but when Secretary Harvey the trainer of the boxing room he quickly drove the trouble makers out. Seems to me the commission ought to get after the sure thing gamblers at the boxing ring to kill the sport if they are not suppressed. "Mayor Harrison's presence at the bout was a compliment to the club and the sport. He assured me at supper that he would be able to win Governor Dunne of Illinois didn't attend, for I know he would have approved of boxing. "I beat Britton more easily than I expected, yet I want to compliment him for his pluck and energy. He did his best. So did I, and I think that New Yorkers convinced that I won fairly and squately. "Some of my friends tell me that I wasn't as fast as I might have been, but I was still as fast as the weight and never felt tired, even though I forced the pace most of the way. I could have made 135 pounds, but I insisted on 134 simply, because I refused to McFarland has made arrangements to sail for Bermuda next Saturday. He is a member of the Frank Chance's future as manager of the New Yorks. Packey says he intends to play baseball during his stay. Britton bore no marks. He was still bristling with pugnancy. He said he was not a longtime Bermuda player, a longer route, but there is very little chance of a return match. Britton and his teammate, A. C. in view of the attachment served in behalf of John J. Costello, held out $2,500 after the bout, but they had no kick come in. He had received his money before the papers were served. The gross receipts for the bout were $7,000 and Britton's share was about $5,000. The State tax exceeded $1,000 and the club's share was a trifle morale than $7,000 and expenses were close to $-5,000. It was said.

Ritchie Willing to Meet McFarland. GILCHAGO—Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion, announced he will give McFarland a day to win the title, provided he will agree to wein in at 133 pounds six hours before the bout. But blame me for wanting to drag Packey down somewhere near my size, said Ritchie. "I think he is the greatest fighter. If any one will allow him to come in at 133 pounds at least six hours before time, I will allow him to deal to have something to say about the weight. As far as the money is concerned, I am not claiming the lion's share." Jim Hall in a Dying Condition. NEENAH, Wis.—"Jim" Hall a former well-known fighter in the lightweight division. I feel it is purely a business deal to have something to say about the weight. As far as the money is concerned, I am not claiming the lion's share." Jim Hall in a Dying Condition. NEENAH, Wis.—"Jim" Hall a former well-known fighter in the lightweight division. I feel it is purely a business deal to have something to say about the weight. As far as the money is concerned, I am not claiming the lion's share." Gunboat Smith. Gunboat, who gets his nickname from his service in the United States navy, is absolutely fearless, carries a carbine, either shedded on his fair boxer. He is instead most of the big fellows, and McCarty ducked a match with him after he (McCarty) cleaned up AI Palzer. He met men for ten rounds in the Garden. Langford "Lawing" for his Money. SYDNEY, N. S. W.-By a unanimous decision of the judges, McCarty snatched his demurrer to McCarty's complaint against the promoter, in which the Negro pipilist demands money to be due him from McIntosh. Langford went ten days in which to prosecute his complaint. Johnson Trial Set. CHICAGO—Judge Carpenter, In the United States District Court, has set the trial of the former judge with smuggling, for April 1. The charge of violating the Mann white slave act will be heard later. Johnson is accused of smuggling a necklace from England. Can't Agree on Weight. CHICAGO—Wille Ritchie and Packey McFarland will never clash for light-mind honors unless Ritchie changes his mind and allows McFarland to make 155 pounds at 3 o'clock on the day of the day. After a meeting with Billy Nolan, representing Ritchie, Emil Thiery, McFarland's manager, said that it would be possible for McFarland to insist that Ritchie's manager insisted that McFarland should make 133 at 3 o'clock. Battling Nelson Loses to Frank Whit ATLANTA, Ga.—Fighting like a champion, Frank Whithey, of Cedar Rapid, Md., was not a dissenting player in the big game. It was agreed beforehand that the bout was to be a no-decision contest, but there was not a dissenting player in the big game. He stood head to head and out-sugged the famous Battler and repeatedly up to him he came up for a head elogement from gong to goong, with Whithey the better man. Ritchie Wants for $16,000 for Bout. CINCINNATI—Billy Nolan, manager of Willett Ritchie, the other dog made champions worth for a twenty-round bout with any of his three leading contenders for the title. The sum of $16,000 is the big down somewhat in his demand, a championship bout is very improbable. Nolan members Fackey McFarren and others whom Ritchie will pass up unless the big purse is forthcoming, adding that Fackey can have the first match. In view of the fact that all three will consider their services worth almost as much as the title holder, and just so a boxer Ritchie and any unlikely Fights for the Highest Bidder CINNAMENTATI—D. J. Totoril, the New Orleans boxing promoter, wired Billy Nolan, manager of the Cincinnati match between Hitchie and Joe Mandot, the pride of the Crescent City, when the present the real contender was the Crescent are closer was too small or consideration, and Nolan wired back as follows: to club the largest purse. If New Orleans wants Ritchie's services for a championship, he must have to "provide other live promoters." Bittle and Mandot met at New Orleans on one occasion, and the champion beat the latter in ten rounds. GENTLEMAN JIM SAYS IT'S UP TO McGOORTY AND KLAUS TO SETTLE AND WEIGHT DUSRATE (By James J.

His equal as a boxer anywhere near him. Packdy is not unpowered. Possibly Britton made a better showing than the average opponent, but his work did not indicate that he ranked with the stocky athletes. But Ritchie now says Packey can have a match at 133, weigh in six hours before ringtime. From what I am told, Willem would have to unpower. Possibly he was McFarlane. "They tell me," the champion has taken on much beef and scales well over the 140 mark. If this is the case Manager Nolan shows he have no chance of winning, so with the Chicagoan, but I doubt very much if he would consent should it come to a showdown. It is said that the athletic combination Billy McCarney has on tour, and of which Luther FcCarty is the headliner, is not unpowered. Expenses of toting around a few high-priced stars eat up the gate receipts very fast, and there's little left for McCarney and McCarty when the other boys have received their Richard Klegn, who promotes fights in place where there is a chance to get the money, tried to persuade McCarty to give him the money. When the proposition was put before Billy McCaryn he is said to have asked him to give the money to expenses and round trip tickets for two. Johnson asked that much money to box Langford and was called a "hog" to Johnson. McCary out of the preliminary class, and many seem to think he has not yet graduated. Heless to add that McCarly will not box Burns in Paris under Klesig's auspices, but if business with the troupe" does not work, Hilly McCary will have his big meat ticket back on the job somewhere pretty soon. Tom McCary has three championship contests "on the fire." First come Johnny Kibane and Johnny Dundee in the Fourth, then McCary's plans go through, Johnny Coulon will kid Kill Williams for the bantam title on Decoration day. The prize de resistance is the Wesley and Wesley may possibly include Willie Itche and Joe Iivers. It is thought, however, that an arrangement exists between the former champion first chance at his conqueror. Jesse Willard, the heavy weight from Kansas, has changed his mind about coming to New York. He offers as an excuse to play in a twenty-round match for the Fourth of July, and that an agreement with the "white champion" will prevent him from engaging in other bouts in McCarty must be trying to corner the white heavyweight market. He won't be able to do that until Willard's hands if report is true. Only a few weeks ago Willard sent an urgent appeal to the Garden Athletic club manhattan to send him a bombadier Wells or Goran Boatsm. Jess was recently "set down" by the boxing commissionees of the Englewood Buffalo club. This boy is badly in need of a level-headed adviser. Leach Cross, the New York lightweight, furnished the big purlistic surprise of the past week to the boxing team, inspiring aspirations into a cocked hat. All the dope pointed to a victory for Mandot, but I guess the southern man was just ill. Joe Rivers the first time Mandot was acclaimed a wonder, but this idea was dispelled by a decisively engaging engagement. Mandot is now entirely out of the championship running and it looks as if Rangers holds Cross, batting the ball about the ring in the closing rounds of their recent ten-round engagement. If Britton can claim it as his running ball, he looks the man to give a battle for position as runnerup to the championship. Jack made each Cross rudiculous, and Lach has qualified as one of the leaders of division. GUNBOAT SMITH PUTS AWAY BOMBADIER WELLS THE FREEM. was master of his opponent in the of the game. He ducked, felited and tubbed his cleverness of Jim Corbett. Smith was nonsuplied by his suity opponent. the second round a different story was the Gumbert. But the Pauley pushed him back against the ropes by his superior strength and finally sent him to the mat unconscious. The fight was over and another "white hope" disposed of. JACK JOHNSON CANNOT ENTER CANADA—A LITTLE PREACH- MENT ON THE RACE QUESTION —BASEBALL IN INDIANAPOLIS— GEORGE ABRAMS WILL HAVE A TEAM—HOW SOME OF THE BIG FIGHTERS TRAIN. (By Billy Lewis.) According to the latest Jack Johnson ballet, he is now persona non grata to the newspapers for short seen in the newspapers is as follows: "By the terms of a general issued order by the Canadian government to the imminent invasion of the Dominion, Jack Johnson, the pugilist, has been barred from admittance into Canada. The official reason for this ban is that he is to be ill with pneumonia in his home in Chicago, has been designated as an "unfit person" for reporting sense in any Anglo-Saxon county. This report sounds rather fishy, but in these days when the whole round world is awake, reporting sense in whole round world of colored people, one need not be startled by anything the racial lines that may happen. How can a white person worry one a bit at times to see the cold shoulder displayed by the white people for reasons which cannot be remedied. Perhaps there is too much skepticism in the world to follow wout those questions in the utmost conclusion. One trembles in the face of the question: does he see his religion flying its tests as if they were pestilence. If the tenets are violated, he is not going to maintain efficacy sufficient to salvation? The world fights shy of all of this; it takes its chances on the hereafter, rather than surrender a single principle of racial selfishness. It can be real honest the race, the Negro race of this country, composed as it is of various race tones, is scarcely the same as the white race, drawn race lines. The question of religion, Christianity comes home to us—to those among us who see difference according to race, to those who are on distinction, and yet we rebel to a man on the score of color, hair, etc. Where are we "at"? These questions are not answered, and we are not for the peace of society. Something is fundamentally wrong. What is it? . . . Jack Johnson is hounded because he is a black man who wooed and won a white woman, the "head and front of his offend-ing." Ten thousand of his players spirit as we understand it in the matter, seeing man as man. Though your sins be as scarelet you may be more scarelet than your phrased be by you as black as jet, we claim you yet. Canada has caught the cue, and one feels to say "Etu Brute." England has caught the cue, and we similarly as a sphinx for more than a century signs of revolution. On the last day it is said that the wicked shall flee and be withdrawn, and the wicked shall rock to fall on them and hide them from the wrath of Him. Are we now in those days? Have we been wicked? More than we have been wicked, hard pressed for a hiding place? Will that all searching eye also be locked up in the grave? How will we justify all of our marking as a whooping all under one master mind who sees the end from the beginning and who thinks of a thousand years as a day for the ripening of His purposes? We in Indianapolis are likely to see two baseball teams of course players this season, and we are rather unfortunate, but what can't be cured must be endured. George Abrams THE BOXING CLUB "KNOCK OUT" BESS Champion 118 pound boxer of Indiana. had charge of the A. B. C.'s season before last. He proved a capable manager who, by his genteel manners, helped the game up and won it many new patrons. Last season Abrams was succeeded by a general fellow also. In fact, whoever succeeded Abrams had to be a good one. Tom Bowser proved a good one; he also helped the game very much by his gentlemanly The Abram Giants were organized last season by George Abrams, who concluded the season indifferent. This year he expects to do much better. He expects to have the team of the city. He is negotiating for a new stadium that will be larger than with every feature known to modern parks. Abrams is not absolutely sure that he will get his park, but in event of success nothing will be lacking that inattractive, comfortable amusement place. Abrams' club will be among the big ones. He hopes that the team will be a Los Angeles, The American, of Chicago; the teams of West Baden, French Lick, Louisville and elsewhere. He recently came back from mLouisville, where he will greatly strengthen his team. These players are Leonard Griffin, pitcher; Jesse Briscoe, outfielder, and two players, third baseman. The Giants will be ready for early booking. . . . A few issues ago I presented in this column a portion of an article on training JSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Jimmy Was Easy. Jimmie Britt was somewhat like Corbett in his training, but used much better judgment in the amount of work he did. He was a hard worker, working hard to it to do and resting when he had the chance. A very good rule to follow. Britt put about as much action in his training as any of the sheer speed he could have with him and he would tear it off a fright. Jimmie, like many fighters, was a strong believer in his afternoon sleep. A occasional visit to the gym or a horse ride were frequent pastimes for him. If not these, he liked to meet and chat with his friends. Jimmie was another, who liked a good crowd around him. He was always kept an open house without any charge. Bat Nelson was faithful, methodical and a good trainer, always keeping good hours with little fuss and cared little for crowds. Ad Wolgast was very similar to Bat in his training and care not often well if alone with his sparring partners. Ad's leisure time was usually spent in a quiet way around the care partners and friends. He was very indifferent about it all and seldom got enthusiastic over it. Did he Bat with his care partners and pals to which he was always very loyal. PACKEY McFARLAND BEATS JAC KBRITTON Gives Fine Exhibition of His Skill- Fail in Attempt to Knock- Britton's best quality was courage. It is true that he brought McFarlane's rapidly delivered smashes, but it also is a fact that Jack stood up and mixed, at close range, with McFarlane's. He enough to make Packey's nose bleed in the ninth round, but when it came to the final, Packey was fashioned slugging McFarlane was supreme. He depended largely upon a swift, accurate left which landed in succession. Packey also used the right for the jaw whenever he found an opening, and from there he could move over he never let up in his attack, except when Britton was fighting him at close range. Packey said that he gave McFarlane a bitter fight. He tried his best to overcome class, but that task proved too much for McFarland and Britton got on the scales in the Garden at 2:50 o'clock in the afternoon for ten minutes in the article of agreement. At least two hundred persons crowded around the boxers who were sitting in the boxing ring, 137 pounds and when Packey scaled he did not tip the beam. He probably carried 136% pounds. Britton, too, was under the limit and the boxing manager, Reference Job, accompanied by Chairman O'Neill and Secretary Harvey, of the boxing commission, 135% pounds. Emil Buil Thiry managers of Britton and McFarland, respectively, went into a private room and discussed the interpretation of the rules. Thiry promised to have their men obey the rules of the commission—no hitting on the break-aways and no clinching after the referee's decision—to see that the boxers behaved in a sportsmanlike manner, at the same time doing their level best at all times. This conference in the ring before the bout. For a time it looked as if there would be no fight. It was 5:50 a.m. a deputy Ostrander, the garden box office, ticket seller in the Garden box office, with an attachment for $2,500 in favor of a $1,000. At once there was consternation among the minor officials in the Garden, but it turned out later that Morse, the garden box office, had given receipt for more than twice the amount to Manager Gibson of the Garden. Dr. Hills, who is Ostrander's attorney, advised the latter to hold out the $2,500 until somebody in the Garden had an amount of the attachment. Then Dr. Joseph Creamer furnished a bond for $10,000, which relieved Ostrander of further Long before the doors were opened there were indications of a record-breaking attendance at the upper balconies stood in single file half way around the Garden. The police formed the others who surged lines, so that there was very little disorder. By 8:30 o'clock more than 7,000 had filed through the gates and who were in the 10,000 had crowded in. Delegations of sporting men from Chicago, Cleveland, Buffalo and Boston chose vantage points for which they paid $5, $7 and $10. It was roughly estimated that the receipts were about $25,000 with the free list cut down Although open betting was, of course, prohibited, it was whispered that McFarland would offer that he would win on points. It was not until 10:25 o'clock that the rival boxers climbed through the fence. While they were pulling on the gloves Bombardier Wells, the British heavyweight champion, and Gunboat Smith of California, were introduced. The Garden on Friday night, were introduced. At the ridgeside McFarland weighted 140 pounds and Britton 135%. Packey was handled by Emil Thilier, Willie Shafer, Joey McFarland, and Dan Morgan. The boxers were Dan Morgan, Young Otto, Jack Denning and Britton's brother, Johnny Breslin. William Johw was handled by men stripped locked, dressed as silk. The great crowd was still and anxious when the gong brought the men up for the game. The crowd was still and anxious for the body as Packey stepped back. McFarland crowded him to the ropes and made him clinch with a leg lead with his fast left and Britton broke ground to the ropes. McFarland rusher. Britton clutching. McFarland rusher.

McFarland reached the goal and Britton backed to a corner. McFarland rushed into a clinch and followed with left and right to the face. Britton mixed and punched him in the stomach. Britton mixed it again and as McFarland outpunched him, Jack held in another clinch. McFarland round on aggressiveness and blows landed. As Britton came to the ninth round McFarland staggered him with a kick swing on the jaw. Packey rushed in with two more lefts and Britton hugged. He ran back and took a kick. Packey blocked easily and then received a left hook on the jaw. In a mix Britton landed a right hand cross counter that drew the ball. Packey also brought the claret from Jack's mouth. In another mix McFarland sent him a staggering right on the heart. McFarland's hand punch over the heart. They shook hands for the tenth and last game and ran into a mix.

WRITES BEAUTIFUL PLAY. Miss Minnie Cordel Kelley, formerly of Decatur, IL, but is now teaching piano and pipe organ in this city, is the author of the book *The Quest of the Black Diamond.*" The story is of an old Indian chief who is haunted by the spirit of death. This causes him to be constricted in his actions and is forced by his daughter, who succeeds in winning the secret from him. In her anxiety for the chief, she seeks advice from an old Indiana foe named teller of the story. She lives an old witch that has in her possession a famous black diamond. This stone has power to give its possesser eternity. The daughter tells this news to the chief and he calls his tribe together and offers the hand of his daughter to the teller. The teller is a Black Diamond. The rest of the play describes the search through fairyland, in the witches' cave and the final return to the land of the witches. This play is all very pretty. Some of it was written by a full-blooded Indian chief and some of it is the product of a successful first production. This play is being rehearsed now by thirty children from the Allen Chapel Sunday school and Miss Kelley expects to start first production at that church on April 16. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

It positively will be the last day of the season. One of the rarest treaties of the series was given to the audience at the conference over his famous address, "The Relation of Practical Life to the Higher Life," last Sunday afternoon, the morning meeting. The series of lectures, which have been dressed of some of the best brains of the country, have given to the Negro citizenization movement in close contact with men of deep thought and large experience, such as few communities have and the privilege of being interviewed. In a delivered interview, every strata of human nature has been given a thorough research by men of diverse backgrounds and delivered to more addresses. A series of interviews, in which the theologians laid bare Biblical facts concerning men's mission since the gray dawn of the 19th century, a very hardwork of the Creator in reference to man, and gave us the principles of social purity; the judge was here, too, and the audience was here, fact, life itself has gone through a clinic. That the association has broken all records for attendance made during previous conferences, the judge diction, yet only a small percentage of men have enjoyed these opportunities as compared to the large Negro population of Philadelphia. Sunday, March 30, will mark the close of these most interesting meetings, with Secretary A. H. Goddard, of the Central Bank, and Secretary A. H. Goddard, of the Central Bank, have not attended these meetings have missed something that, beyond a doubt, would have been a benefit to you. LIFTING AS THEY CLIMB For over a year there has been organized a club for charitable and rescue work doing the work of the good Samaritan, Freeman reporter, hearing of the work of this club, called and interviewed the secretary. It was found out that this organization 's known as the "Thursday Coterie Club," and members of the city's most influential Negro women, Miss Anna Moore is the president of the city's most influential Negro women. Since being organized many acts of charity have been performed. The club has made a special work in the rescuing of children in Alabama. One case taken in hand was that of a young colored girl, who was brought from her home in Alabama by a colored woman in Alabama. The woman was a Walnut boarding house in Senate avenue. The colored woman while in the city took care of the children and before the girl was discovered the woman ran away and left the fourteen-year-old boarding house. When found by the club members the girl was scantily clothed, her feet were bare. She was a "old ladies" comforts". She was taken by Mrs. Moore, the president (that was nine months ago), and made a member of the club. She was a school and is also given music lessons. Another interesting case was that of a sixteen-year-old girl, who was rescued from a house fire and would spend the day and also half the night. After the case was heard of, it was found that she was with the girl's father, her mother being dead. The father was very much grieved and doubtful of the girl's redemption. She was called to her and talked to her and persuaded her to return to her home. That was some time later, and she has stayed under her happy father's care. Such Christ-like work should be highly commended by the citizens of this "No THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTR work will be looked after as soon as reported to the club. The secretary, Mrs. Dump, lives at 809 North Senate avenue. The society is just getting ready to make an appeal to the public for help in the near future.
