JONES FOR BOARD OF FDUCATION Dr. Washington Notes a Decrease in the Lynching Record—Ex-Senator Henderson Dead—Theatrical Movement—Lively Times in all Arenas of Activity. (By R. W. Thompson.) Though in no sense a political speech, a bishop referred incidentally to politics, he also was not to take anybody's advice who suggests that we "get out of politics." Through political activity, he encouraged people to fight, to fight, and business and intellectual power must be used primarily to elevate civic status. Financial strength and ability to succeed as a teacher and intelligence, will make us a force that will compel all political parliaments to strive for our support and grant our communities the opportunity to treat our minister. He said he had several talks with President Wilson since March and there had come to him positive suggestions for treatment at the hands of the new administration. Bishop Walters advised degrees of the country to possess souls in patience and await results. The meeting was presided over by by President Freeman, president of the local business and Dr. Jula P. Holeman, acted as secretary, and with that of Bishop Walters were covered by Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of Treasury, and chairman of the local business and with that of Bishop Walters were covered by Hon. J. C. Napier, Register of Treasury, and chairman of the local business and with that of Bishop Walters were covered by Mr. A. E.

There is a strong demand from many classes of our people for the appointment of questionnaire-taker Jones as member of the Board of Education, the District of Columbia, to succeed Lawyer R. E. Horner, who is to retire in 2015. Jones has no salary, but is one of the most exacting an most important places under the Board of Education controls the public school system and is responsible for the training of Education controls the public republic. About 15,000 of these are our race, and they are taught by more than 500 colored instructors, over whom property, valued into the millions, is in charge of this board. Thus it will be trusted with the administration of this mighty trust have a large part in controlling the destinies of the district, admonishing requisite character, training, business ability and breadth of mind, should be considered for a moment for a post Mu-So-Lit Club in the Limelight. Prof. L. M. Hershaw threw much new light upon the American Constitution, analyzing the force of the amendments to the Constitution, the latter mere "restoration" of rights stolen from the black man, rather than the conferring of something the race had not posed a threat to. Speaking of the necessity for independent political action on the part of the Negro, Prof. Hershaw supported the vote of the Negro in the "Liberty Party," led in 1848 by Martin Van Buren, a bolting democrat, who had served as President of the United States from 1845 to 1853, as one of its principal supporters none other than the immortal Frederick Douglass, "Independence in politics, conclusion in politics, common ground in politics, the logical outcome of the present situation, as far as the Negro is concerned, since each of the great parties have about reached a common ground in the political status of the Negro, the decisions of the republican supreme court had and again sustained the practice of the democratic party against the Democratic party, in wisdom, in view of these facts, for the Negro to stand by his friends wherever he can find them, regardless of party and commitment was enthusiastically applauded. Supplementary talks were made by F. D. McCracken, of Minnesota, R. W. Thompson, of California, and T. of the Mu-So-Lit Club. Mr. Fr. Fowler Brown, the popular Hoosier hostier, introduced as "ine who has made his state as state as famous," Meredith Neboosh, Lew Wallace and Booth Tarkington have made in literature, or as Benjamin Harrison, Thomas H. W. Kern, made it illustrious in politics," rendered a beautiful ballad, which was heartily enriched. Mr. Felix H. W. Kern, selected on the violin and Mr. Henry L. Grant rendered a piano soil in fine style. The executive committee, G. Smith, will deal for its excellent work in connection with the inaugural smoker. Steps are being taken to assist in saving the Mu-So-Lit Club in Hawthorne-Taylor in London, which is likely to be sold under the hammer unless about $2,200 are raised at once. The May meeting of the Mu-So-Lit Club will be on the 9th at the Hawthorne Theater. The News in a Nut-Shell. Lawyer R. R. Herner announces that he will not be a candidate for reappointment as a member of the Board of Education and as a member of the Board of Decords. He wishes to devote his entire time to the lucrative law practice he has built up in the district. Indexes of the court, prominent lawy- ers of both races and many of the leading business men are uniting in a general movement for Terrell, who is conceded by all odds to be the ablest judge on the bench of the municipal court. It is significant of his strength and potential. Negro Democratic League, with candidates for every other plum in sight, have given Terrell the so satisfactorily fills. Judge Terrell deserves to be reappointed and it is likely that he will be. Dr. Booker T. Washington has a card in the Washington Star of recent date in which he notes that the first three years of his career have decreased in the lynching evil. So far this year only thirteen Negroes have been victims of mob violence, while during the past two years two-thirds of those showed twenty-four—a reduction by nearly one-half in the number of lynchings. This is very gratifying, says Terrell. "We have no doubt that there have been any illegal taking of life at all. Dr. Washington enumerates in detail the nature of the offenses committed by the Negroes in the year, and makes no concealment of his satisfaction that not a single man was put to death by the THOI RDLPU on white woman. Dr. Washington's letter is brief and to the point, and merits the large hearing that it will doubtless re-appear at the hands of the American people. ```markdown ``` Hardwick, of Georgia, has reintroduced the bill to prohibit the intermarriage of gulls, etc., in the district. The measure will never become a law, because it will be unnecessary. After the tariff is out of effect, Sen. Vardaman is to introduce bills for the reintroduction of the citizenship and suffrage rights of the Negro race. Mr. Vardaman was waste of time, and he should hold the people of Mississippi, he should do his campaign in his own state and refrain from yelling ears of the nation with his mouthings. --- Capt. James F. Oyster, who retires after 40 years of service, Education, tendered a farewell testimonial last Friday at the M Street High School. He is a friend in need to the colored schools and their patrons. He is wanted by our commissioned citizens for District Commission. Commissioner: Rapid progress is being made in the erection of the new Normal school No. 1, the new Normal near Howard University. It is modern and very particular and is to cost $250,000.

Elaborate preparations are being made here the witness was blessed by a house packed to the doors with Washington's best people and it is evident that Mme. Walters' engagement will not be less successful. Bishop Walter Harey deliver one of the principal addresses at the international convention of the Christian Endeavors at Los Angeles, Cal., this summer. Mrs. Walters, California is Bishop Walter's "old stamp grounds" and it was there that he made the treatment of Mrs. Walters to his election to the bishopric in 1892. R. W. THOMPSON. OWENSBORO, KY.

Brown, made an appearance at the Tribune news conference. It is indeed appealing, and we hope for it and its publisher a prosperous future. It contains this statement: "Necessity supplies the oxygen for life. It is the oxygen for life." If that be so, then the News should live long, for the necessity is great. Let us hope that it will be made available to the mortal remains of its illustrious predecessors, the Indicator, the Major, the Morning Times and the Times. ...A general call has been issued to unite as an interdenominational body to promote the work of all Sunday schools in the county.

OVER 500 TURNED AWAY FROM THE THOMPSON RECITAL AT BETHEL CHURCH MONDAY EYE. Mr. Felix Weir Appeared in Recital on Wednesday Evening—"Rube" Foster and his Champions to Play Sunday—W. D. Neighbors to Speak Sunday. (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Fresman Bureau, 3000 South State St. Pittsburgh, 8058, Automatic 73-6250) Chicago, Ill., April 23, 1913. Special to The Freeman: Over 500 people were turned away from Bethel A. M. E. church on Mon., 14 February, 1945, to Mr. De Koven Thompson and Mme Marle Burton-Hyrum. At 8:15 o'clock every seat in the spacious edifice was occupied, and a person had an evening with his own numbers and twelve were rendered by Mme. Hyrum with Mr. Thompson at the Dr. Roberts Interests Public. For six weeks Dr. D. P. Roberts, one of the most beloved ministers of the city of Chicago and the entire country, started to announce "recieving" Heinz the church's charitable donations to the church and asked them to "put their shoulder to the wheel" and make the event a success. The women got to know Heinz more and more. Hepson got busy with the advertising and the result was that the largest crowd was present at a musical since Heinz's arrival. The orchestra Hall. So great was the crowd that nearly $50.00 was refused to those who could not get in. A number went to the church and a number went to the church. Mme. Schumann-Helink was to appease and give a short tldress, accompanied by a party of friends, but at 3:30 he sent her to the church. Heinz had to deal with the city to make another engagement. The Recital. Mme. Hyrm was beautifully gowed for the occasion. She was cordially appalled by the audience, and she is a "hone girl" and is a graduate of the Chicago Musical College and has had vast experience on the stage. She is a possessor of a tone symphony, a tone of the symphony and her appreciation perfect. This was evident when she sang with great success "If I Forget." She possessed a sense of musical perfection, this song and made a wonderful impression with "Dear Lord Remember Me." These two numbers awoke the large audience and the sweet-tone singer in the audience. In this was shown her wealth of training, experience, volume and appreciation of the nice interpretive points. She rendered were "When I Think of You," words by Alfred Anderson; "When Tomorrow Comes," words by Jussie Smith and John Anderson; "When I Think of You," words by A. A. Govern; "My Darling," words by A. A. Govern; "I Miss You," words by A. A. Govern; "I Miss You," words by Remember Me, words and music by De Koven Thompson; "A Tear, a Kiss," words by A. Govern; "You see him Anger," words by Your Heart," words Benl. Blood, and "Good Night Sweetheart," words by Alfred Night Sweetheart. The music of each number was by Mr. Thompson. The audience was very appreciative. The playing of Mr. Thompson was excellent, and she was great success in musical work and courage given him by Mme. Schumann-Heinke in an interview on last Saturday, warrants him to believe that he is a greater success in the future for him. Mr. Felix Weir in Recital. Mr. Felix Weir, a graduate of the Musical College of Chicago and a musical conservatory, and a publicist of international fame, appeared here last Wednesday evening at Entertainers Hall, 35th and Indiana Avenue, where the large audience responded to the house no longer packed. Mr. Weir played two numbers, "Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso," Saint Saens and the Orchestra, and Taylor that were highly appreciative. His tone and technique was above criticism and so much enjoyed by a most critical audience he responded to more number. Mme. Martha Anderson, the favorites of Chicago and widely known soprano Mme. Martha Anderson, the respondent to that evening than ever before. The first number was (a) Bird Raptures, Schneider; (b) "Were My Song Wings" with Wings; (c) "The Encores were" "Rose in the Bud," and "Irish Love Song." Mrs Irene Howard-Boardman and received encores, and Mrs Fannie Hall Clint recited. Mr. Thoe Taylor was at the piano. The whole program was fine. Mrs Garfield Wilson Orchestra played for the dancers. Mr. Harrison Emanuel Downtown. It was unfortunate that two recitals came on Monday night of this week. Mr. Heekoven homemade an ensemble at Kimble Hall downstreet, Mr. Emanuel was a violinist of excellent training, a Chicago boy who is making rap music, and evening was a grand success from an artistic point of view. Hundreds of music lovers were present at the young artist. An excellent program was rendered and the numbers played by Mr. Emanuel showed a vast improvement, the recital at the same hall last year. Autos and Taxis Engaged All the autos and taxis on the South side have been engaged to go to the game on next Sunday, the opening day to give Rube the opportunity. We are just licking for their return and the weather man says that indications are that Sunady will be a typical baseball day. Box seats are selling out, and the crowd will be people will join in one grand chorus of welcome of three cheers for Rube and his Giants. A band of music will be present to enliven the occasion. Mayor H. H. H. will throw the first ball across the The Freema As an advertising me dium is unequaled by any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class of thrifty, money-spending Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal.

A number of out-of-town baseball fans have sent word to the country this season, to seek seats for them and their lady friends. The American Giants are scheduled to play the country this season. As last year, the best of order will be maintained and the high class ball playing as characterized by the players, be carried out to its highest degree. Mr. Foster is to be congratulated upon this season, as a ball player and manager and it would be a wise thing for the Chicago Giants to bring him and his players a bankrupt early in the season, for no one doubts it being richly deserved. Let every Chicago fan enjoy the opening game, Sunday, April 27. Anitia Patti Brown Home Mme. Anita Patti Brown, probably the greatest traveling singer of the race who possesses the most sweetness with nature, has returned home after a three months' visit to a number of Islands and cities in the east. There is some talk of her being Prof. Munday, securing Mme. Brown for a monster recital at Orchestra Hall this fall. We believe it could be packed. It looks as though she would be a great appreciation of musical artists, especially Boston and Washington. "Rube" Foster and His Champions to Play Sunday. "Rube Foster," the world's famous ball player and greatest baseball teacher and pitcher of the race, will arrive at the game on April 27, baseball team to open the season on tomorrow, Sunday, April 27, at Schorling Park, 33rd street, playing against the Gary, Ind., Champions.

Her art instruction and now she has decided to open a school and give lessons. Mrs. Crump has a most charming personality, and she is certainly magnetic. She has a host of friends and as soon as her formal announcements are out, we predict she will be a big crowd. She would give a recital here, there is every indication it would be a great success, for musicals have been given frequently in the recital in oblution would attract large crowds. Miss Helen Jackson Entertains. Miss Helen Jackson, one of Chicago's most charming girls, entertained on Thursday Day Evening Club and the 500 Club.

Swinging in a hammock and lulled by the ocean's favors, I soon forgot the tall palms that surrounded our villa, and too, the ethereal dome, which so plainly witnessed that God must have seen "that all was good." I was thinking of the warriors of the eNgro race—of those whose ancestors claimed the Sahara and the Nile for their very own. And it appeared to me that it mattered not what spot in Africa might have been given them as a birthplace, whether only one of his parents traved their progenitors to the dark continent in the south, or whether or no he had no authentic proof as to his distinctly negroid originality; if his color was dark and their appeared the least doubt as to his aryan or his semitic eligibility, he has always been classed, is now generally classed and always will be classed as a Negro. On this thought I based my musings. Since it was the hour of siesta in the Orient, when all nature seemed to love all things and to be loved likewise, I closed my eyes and joined my society to that of the muses. I wondered, too, shall the valiant departed ones arise. If so, shall my people be represent, ed among the illustrious brave? One approached me and beckoned follow on! As we marched I beheld that his uniform was that of ancient days, and his figure that of the Grecian God of War. We traveled through ages of distance, though only a second in time. Then from a cloud of namelessness we emerged. We beheld a plateau surrounded by palms and firs. This plateau was smoother to the eye than the bosom of the calmest sea, and greener than the sword of central Africa. In the center was a flagstaff from whose halyard floated a banner designed as a laurel leaf. This instinctively I knew to be the Great Parade Ground of the Right Brave, who die in the great army of the Nero Race. It was parade day. I could see the busy forms in the magnificent quarters among the palms, preparing to present the military formations. At the center of one side of the great square stood the reviewing party—almost too magnificent for my sight! And as my guide lead me in rear of this assembly I realized that a stranger in their midst was about to meet the generals of this great Army Corps. Then came a sweet, clear command, that thrilled my soul: "Orderly, sound the 'General!'" The call was sounded. And though many was the time I had heard "officers call." I had never heard the "General." So imagine my feelings of surprise, glory, beatitude and martial respect, as immediately I beheld arrayed before a group of forms as uniform and equipment as the imagination may permit, but all wearing the uniform expression of bravery superior—ah, bravery superb! The adjutant general steps forward: "General Antipinus!" "Here!" came the response. And before we saluted an undoubted African, armed with primeval weapons. "This," says the adjutant general, "is General Xantippus, who, during the Punic Wars, came up from Africa, and of a huge army of Romans in the field, left only two thousand alive to tell the tale of battle." From his right came Hanibal—aspiring Hanibal—adventurous Hanibal! It was he who dared to cross the sea, conquered southern Spain, advanced into what is now France, then entered Italy, herself, and at the great circle of Came, sent home the rings from the fingers of the slain which same filled three bushel baskets. This did Hanibal. And he was that caused the defeat at Allia to be marked in the Roman calendar as a day of fasting and prayer. The adjutant general then scanned the line as if in doubt as to what next mighty soldier to call, then suddenly smiling and removing his hat I heard the name: "Touissaint L'Ouverture!" And the very palms seemed to bow to the dark figure who almost sprang from the line, and with the trained politeness of the French nations, courtesied low, presenting us with his characteristic smile. "This," says the adjutant general, "is Touissaint Breda; first a slave boy born in San Domingo in the year 1743, and in the month of May, when only twenty days had passed. He married, then learned to read whilst yet serving as a steward in a sugar house. When the internal strife became ransom, the revolutionists in the year 1791 and became the commander in chief. This man never saw an army until he was near fifty years of age, and the army which he organized was from a raw, motley batch of recruits, who were only four years in the island as slaves, and speaking many different dialects of several different languages. Yet, with this conglomerate mass, Touissier repulsed the proud Spaniard, shamed the vain Frenchman and humbled the English, who, in disgrace, retired to Jamaica. From all sides compare him with Alexander, with a cesar, Cromwell or Napoleon, if you choose/ But by treachery he was undone in earth, yet, until today the spirit of Touissier lives in the heart of every Negro, and whispers in every ear, "Libre San Domingo." As he ruled San Domingo in the body, he still rules in spirit. With a flourish of trumpets, the man who could always find an opening and was therefore called L'Ouverture, retired to his brigade. Turning our faces toward the line we beheld one dressed in colonial costume, depicting the Eighteenth century, standing as if antici pating a call. And as the adjutant called his name we noted that he carried no weapon, but both fists were clinched and his manner was resolute as thus he reported: "Sir Citizen Crispus Attucks reports to the adjutant general, host of the Brave Soldiers of Color." All faces were solemn—all hearts were proud, for all had felt a thrill of ardor as this man of strength reported. The adjutant spoke: "Well pleased am I to present you to the first man to fall in the streets of Boston for American Liberty! And I am proud to represent the zena were soldiers, and first denom- strated to Great Britain that American resistance would be unto blood and unto death! "Good citizen! Martyred soldier." Then after receiving former Sergeant Carney, Fifty-fourth Massachusetts Regiment, and Sergeant Jasper, the brave man of all time, it seemed as if for age s that we might hear the two monumental phrases, "I'll try, sir," and "I will plant these colors upon yonder fortress, or I'll report to God the reason why!" The former tried and was successful. The latter "reported to God the reason why." But the bravery of these two men under fire proved to the nation that Negroes were brave unto death in America as they had proven themselves to be in other climes! I turned my face to one approaching with a rocking gait—with a sailor-like swagger. The adjutant general spoke: "This, sir, is Captain Robert Smalls, who, whilst employed upon the Confederate vessel 'Planter, delivered her to the Union forces, and for such service was promoted to a captainy upon the same vessel. He afterward rendered valuable service to the nation in the war of civil strife. So Fortress Monroe, Fort Pillow and the 'Planter' each sent to us a distinguished hero, and in the same division shall they forever afterward be found!" Then turning to the generals, he commanded: "You, your posts, sirs!" Then commanded: "Orderly, sound the officers' call!" The call was sounded. Then as if it was an army within itself, a great horde of men approached. They, like unto the generals, represented many different bands and many different conflicts. They represented the Negro participants in the fifteen decisive battles of history, and many different raiding parties, even including the Negro soldiers of the Ninth U. S. Cavalry, who whilst en route to support Custer, arrived only in time to prevent a general massacre of all the settlers on the Western frontier of America. Too, there were present the Negroes who joined the Crusaders in the Middle Ages, but since wars are the issue, and not skirmishes—since parts taken by the Negro make the scenery instead more memorable statistic to wry memory the adjutant presented us with the most prominent officers of this grand corps. The remainder were presented collectively, for time itself suffices not to present individually each officer of the Right Brave, who fought with and for the world. One stood surrounded by guards and in his hands he held an insigna of sovereignty. Then to him the adjutant called: "King Ceautauy!" "Here!!" came the response. And a majestic one from Afic's soil bowed before the line. "This man is one of the few native rulers in African soil who made life miserable for the Dutch and Outlanders, whom had held slaves on virgin territory! And who as King of the Zulus in 1877 caused more fear among the Boers than did the British themselves. "He was not alone. But although the Kaffirs sent more than 1,200 men to raid the colony and continued for twelve months at war with the Europeans, the name of King Ceatunayo was first terror in the land. "His action against the tyrant hand stirred the sentiment more strongly, which, after the Jameson raid, developed into the war between the English and the Boers! "His heroic words to Sir Shepstone were: "I intended to fight the Dutch once—only once, and to drive them over the vaal! I have called my people together, but now I'll send them back again to their houses." "Revolutionary Squad, U. S. Army," cried the adjutant general. "Forward, guide right!" came the response. The Solomon Poor, Peter Salem and Austin Dabney, marched forward and saluted. They first fired the shot which wounded Major Pitcairn at the battle of Bunker Hill; the second distinguished himself in the same battle, and the third so distinguished himself that he was captured by the government for mentorious service. When this squad was dismissed, we saw the adjutant send a mounted messenger to the headquarters of a distant brigade. And in a remarkably short time a hand of troopers and infantry were on the "trot" and on the "double time." One placing himself in front of the remainder, reported: "Sir, Private Lewis Bowman, Tenth U. S. Cavalry, reports himself and Hero Squad of the Fifth Army Corps, United States Army, versus the Spanish Army of Occupation, before Santiago de Cuba in the year of our Lord, 1898." "Very well, sir/" was the response. Then to us: "This on the right is Lewis Bowman, Tenth U. S. Cavalry, who pulled down the "gold and red" at San Juan Hill, and replaced it with the "Red, White and Blue." "The next in line is Bugler Hunt, whose bugle called the gallant ones to rally in the same battle, and whose bugle now calls forever throughout eternity." "Behold on Hunt's left Sergeant George Smith, Twenty-fifth U. S. Infantry. It was he who so stirred the young soldiers to action by urging that some one follow him to attack the blockhouse on the hill at the battle of El Carney, until the soldiers became so 'battle borne' that they followed him to a man. "He made the famous remark, 'Let's go and take that outfit up there!' "The Twenty-eighth Infantry took that "outfit up there!" El Caney was a key to Santiago. The fall of Santiago was the end of the Spanish-American War. Sergeant George Smith not only became a hero during the campaign in Cuba, but continued his heroic career in the campaign of occupation in the Philippines. Accordingly, when the white regiments had failed to make any impression upon the insurrectos or insurgents, commonly called "Goo-Goos," Sergeant Smith was placed in charge of a mounted detachment, and this assignment was placed on scout and escort and the work made by the "Horse Sergeant" was of such a nature that he was feared and respected from Manila to Dagupan and from Iloilo to Cavite. The men on the left are men who have served the United States for years in her various conflicts and have received commissions for deeds of valor and for worth. Continued Next Week.

AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER HOT SPRINGS, ARK. Welcome Address, by Rev. J. M. I. Reed Church, to the Hotel Waiters (By A. L. Stewart.) Mr. President, Ladies and Gentle men: It is a very pleasant duty assigned me by your committee; the Master has sent me to welcome men to the greatest banquet of the ages, among all the sweet words of the English tongue, there are but few sweeter than the word "Welcome." It rolls the burden from the shoulders of the laboring man after his day's work is done. The weary soldier steps faster coming home from battle when he thinks of the happy welcome that awaits him. The school boy laughs and plays as he skips along home when school is out for he knows that he is welcomed. The Queen of Sheba risked the symoons and robbers of the desert to meet King Solomon, for she knew that she was welcome. Thus, gentlemen and ladies, I am glad to be able from the depths of my heart to utter that much loved word to you toiling sons of Ham and assure you that you are welcome. Gentlemen, I extend to you this welcome, because of the class of men you are. You are not a gauge of tramps, or dudes, or midnight prowlers, you come not to fill our jails with prisoners, and our home with shame, nay, far from this class be such. You are hard working men, come in our midst to make a living, and help your people. You belong to the horney hand sons of toil, men who serve their fellowmen, and the greatest position on earth is one of service. Christ our Redeemer, occupied a place of service when he fed the five thousand with a few loaves and fishes. He taught all the value of duty well done, hence we welcome you. In the second place we are glad to welcome you because of your opportunities to benefit your race; you are thrown in ear shot and in the midst of the greatest minds of the world, and no great mind can keep from letting fall some crumbs of light every now and then, and an open mind will receive light, matters not from whence it comes. Again your work gives you an opportunity to make a good impression on the ruling race for your people, for verily he is inclined to think that all Negroes are alike. If you are honest, well prepared in mind and hand, you leave your impression on those you serve. See that your minds are well developed, so if you are called in question, you as a young man, you can give a good account of yourself and race. Again you bring to us the best ideas of the highest social circles of the world, from presidents, kings and queens, for no banquet is every rightly served until the humble son of Ham serves it. In the third place, we are glad to welcome you because of your intellectual standing. You do not belong to the blockhead band, the thoughtless class who spend their time in bar rooms. You are men of thought, you have in your midst men of learning, graduates from all colleges, making a living, putting their learning to use and service for mankind; what God would could do, make the world better. You have poured over the Greek, Latin, French and German languages, and many of us are able to serve in any tongue, now used by this and other countries. Therefore we welcome you. Gentlemen, in the fourth place we welcome you because of your department here in city and church; you are not among the crowd that answers to the roll call of the police court every Monday morning; you do not keep cells in our jails; you do not keep the officers of the town busy; you are men in every sense of the word, some of you own beautiful homes here and elsewhere, and have good families; you are found in church on Sundays, hearing heaven's message to man; you are helping to build better churches, every church in town has a part of your money, and God will bless you for it. If I had flowers to throw at the feet of the greatest factors of our civilization, I would throw them at the feet of him who makes the bread and him who serves it—the Walters. If there was a special seat in the house of God I think I would gladly give it to the waiter, who needs God's word. Gentlemen, in the lifth place I welcome on because your home is in the South, and you after all, are only come home for a few days, so boys, here is mother's key, go in and enjoy yourselves. The South has been the home of the greater part of the Negroes, since that twenty landed in Jameses town, Va. Boys, its here our mothers were born, died, and we burid. Here the flowers bloom, here the lark sings gaily. We do not boast of being able to offer you a place where you may eat with our white brothers, but we do boast of being able to give you a place by his side where you can make an honest dollar and keep the wolf from the door and take care of loved ones. Gentlemen, with all my heart, you are welcome. In the sixth place we welcome you because God has said, "It is not good for man to be alone." You need wives and we have raised them for you. The Negro women have always stood among the fairest and usually take the prize when given a fair show. The Negro who wants his own woman, and God knows he wants them all to him; be believers in them, all nations have admired them, and often their most noble sires have sought their hand in marriage. They suited plious Moses, the learned Greeks and classic Romans found it hard not you? They have been taught in the hard school of experience; they know how to work; they are not looking simply for a title or bank account, all they ask is a partner through life. Gentlemen, we offer you not the lady of leisure, the street traveler, and club fiend, but a good sensible housewife to be the mother of your children. From the applause and waving of hats, boys. I think you are taking this sixth welcome seriously. God grant that you may for one of the best marks of manhood, is a family. Last, but not least, we welcome you because of the outlook for our nation. Ah, young men take heart, heads up, there may be some small tempest, sometime here and there one of our race may be lynched, or brutally murdered, but God lives and He does not hurry His time, but works out His own design. He golfs to victory, thousands of years, but where is the proud Roman that laughs hi mto scorn? Yonder he is selling peanuts on the corner of the street, and the white man rules the world; look back fifty years, boys, and see from whence your fathers come. Then turn your faces like men to the rising sun and make the world hear you. Don't go whining with bowed heads, look the world square in the face and let all men know that we are men. O, there's a good time coming boys; Act well your part like men; For nothing else can hinder us, If we are free from sin. There's a good time coming, boys; We've almost won the day; Now work with all your might, boys, And don't forget to pray. There's a good time coming, boys; Get a home for you and yours; You're having your bitters now, but soon Will come your certain joys. O, there's a good time coming, boys; Let's rally round the flag. There is a good time coming, boys; Go to your work like men; Be patient, and when work is o'er The Lord will take you in. BISHOP WALTERS EXPLAINS. It turns out that the letters between President Woodrow Wilson and Bishop Walters were stolen and not given out for publication by the bishop, as it was thought. He says, "I did not give out the letter in question; they were stolen from me. Why I would no more have published these letters than I would have tried to by without an airplane or wings. When I saw them in print I was astounded. "I have since seen the President and received some encouraging letters from him, hence I am sure he was not displeased with their publication. I handed in the list of appointments to the secretary of the President so agreed on by the National Democratic League and the same afternoon the list appeared in the Washington Star. Again I was astounded when I learned that the information was given out from the White House. Then I knew that it was a friend and not an enemy furnishing to the public this information. I suppose it is being done to pave the way to make the appointments of Negroes without opposition—from certain quarters. I have been told by some very wise acres that the publication of the letters and lists was the best thing that could have happened. I hope so. Believe me when I say I had nothing to do with their publication." We are glad enough to learn that the Bishop did not authorize the publication of the letters, even if they did show that he was on good terms with the President. Bishop Walters is in a splendid way to be important during the present administration. If he fails it will be wholly due to himself. Everyone concedes him the probability of being the President's right-hand man, as it concerns advising on Negro affairs. Mr. Wilson, judging from his letters to the bishop, regards him highly and doubtless means to rely largely on him for information during his term of office. We hope that Bishop Walters will be no less guarded in his expression than President Wilson. As we view it, the less he has to give out along the line of which he seems to have chosen, the better it will be for him. Bishop, you must be careful, very careful. Do you know that in your explanation of the published correspondence President Woodrow Wilson and yourself, that you said in the beginning that the letters were stolen from you? You conclude by saying: The letters were gotten from me by my brother, and I dreamed they were to be published." The statements agree in the main, yet the bishop will hardly insist that they are identically the same. JAPANESE HONOR DR. WASHINGTON. Dr. Booker T. Washington is meeting with great favor on his Western tour. The citizens regardless of color are vieing in their effort to show the distinguished educator courtesies. In Seattle, Wash. 400 Japanese residents showed their appreciation of Dr. Washington by giving a reception in his honor. The Japanese Imperial Consul was present together with the most influential Japanese of the city. When Dr. Washington had concluded his address it was decided that a scholarship should be presented Tuskegee. The Japanese were very thoughtful in the presentation of this scholarship. Perhaps nothing could have been more satisfactory to Dr. Washington. It will also be considered a contribution to the race, since some colored boy or girl will benefit by the generosity of the Japanese residents of that city. Even more than a contribution to the race, we think, the giving will be construed—a mark of race appreciation, and which will not get unnoted by our race. The Japanese have made great advance toward the greater civilization within recent years. Double-quick time has been their gait. They seemingly are being impelled by some hidden force which deserts them neither night or day. Making up for lost time seems their ruling passion as a nation. Thus we see the sons of the land of the Mikado everywhere there is an opportunity to enrich the human mind. Eager, anxious with a zeal that is beautiful to see, the Japanese hat is a thread those who lead to the pursuits of knowledge, becoming human reservoirs who will in time find their way home to irrigate, so to speak, where it is so much needed. The Japanese are also a colored people, and as such have felt the sting of discrimination—the proud man's contumely. Australia is relentless against them in spite of their civilization, their advancement. Our own country is some better, yet here they have felt the keen scalpel of criticism that the Negro race knows so closely. They have also shown doubtless sympathy springs up. Thus we find that people tendering a scholarship, their best gift as they view it, since education is the bent of the nation, to the Negro race. THE CAPITAL PLEASURE GARDEN.

The weather is all that could be expected. More work than there are men to do it. Eggs selling at 20 cents per dozen. Ain't them happy symptoms? The Democratic captains of Indiana have had quite a tilt over the appointing of a postmaster for Indianapolis. Senator Kern and Vice President Marshall put one over on Congress- man Korby. It is to be hoped that California will not mess up the whole country with Japan. The situation can be very simple if those concerned choose to make it so. Complications set in only when we try to become discriminatory. Jack Johnson was fined $1,000 in the Federal Court at Chicago, this week, being charged with smuggling a diamond necklace in this country for his deceased wife. The pugilist pleaded guilty. He will be tried for "white slavery" later. The plucky King Nicholas of Montenegro has got the great powers of Europe at a standstill. He's the man who dared. He took Scutari in spite of the cumulative warning. It may be, however, a scheme of the wiley Turk to embroll the whole of Europe. It's the powers' move. Wm. J. White, who died at his home in Augusta, Ga., April 17, was editor of the Georgia Baptist, a publication that has been published regularly for thirty-three years. At the time of his death, he was about eighty-two. He was actively engaged in the pastorate in Augusta. He had lived in Georgia fifty years. He was a member of the National Negro Press Association. It is not generally known that the St. George Episcopal Church of New York has a colored man in its choir. This is the well-known John P. Morgan church, and from which he was buried. Harry Burleigh is the name of the singer, a baritone. He sang at Mr. Morgan's funeral. To be a member of a choir of such a church is quite a distinction for Mr. Burleigh. R. W. Thompson, the well-known correspondent, desires it stated that he is not the author of the political letters appearing in the Amsterdam News of New York City, and that he does not share the sentiments expressed by the writer of said letters. They are supposed to be sent out from Washington, and are published anonymously. Mr. Thompson's letters are invariably signed by him, and are never written in a malicious vein. Dr. Booker T. Washington says that there are colored Mormons out in Utah. In a recent letter he said: "I think it will interest my readers to know that there are colored Mormons in Utah. I met several of these. Many of them came here in the old days; in fact, Brigham Young brought colored people with him to this country, and they or their descendants have remained. Of course, in the old days plural wives were not prohibited by law, but I have made careful inquiry and could find no case where a colored man ever had more than one wife. It seems to have been the custom of the old days that a man could take a second or four or four wife without the consent of his first wife, and I was told that no colored woman in Utah would ever give her consent for her husband to take a second wife." The colored sister's Mormonism goes just so far, then stops. RT. REV. W. B. DERRICK DEAD. By the death of Bishop Wm. B. Derrick, the A. M. E. church loses one of its most distinguished prelates. In some respects the late Bishop took rank over his associates. If he were not more technically learned, then he had that other thing, dignity of presentation, which served him quite as well. As an orator, he was glorious, if one may say such a thing. He stood, at his best, with the greatest of the land. In his speeches were evidences of ripened scholarship, fine judgment and rare discernment. He was majestic in appearance, in pose, and his spiritual self was thoroughly in keeping. His very presence looked as authoritative as a battleship. In some respects he was not unlike Bishop Turner, his great friend, who survived. Bishop Derrick was a man of affairs as well as a churchman, and a statesman in ability. Had his life been thrown constantly in that channel, he would have won all possible for a Negro in this country. As it was he was called on in emergencies to appeal to his race from the political platform where his eloquence, elegance and enlightenment impressed all who heard him as to the manner of man he was. Death came to the distinguished churchman at his home at Flushing, L. I, April 15, after an illness of a considerable length of time. He was surrounded by the members of his immediate household—his wife, two daughters and others. He was in his seventieth year. A great light went into eclipse, and from which it will not emerge in this world. The church will miss him; the Negro race will miss him; mankind will miss him, as it does all of life's great luminaries. PERSUADING CALIFORNIA TO BE GOOD Ex-President Roosevelt is opposed to what seems to be the stand of Governor Johnson in the proposed anti-land legislation by the legislature of California, which, if successful, will affect the rights o the Japanese as now existing. Mr. Roosevelt, when President, had a similar difficulty with california, concerning the Japanese in the public schools. He was prompt and certain in answering to the situation, just as President Wilson has been. The close relationship of the ex-President and Governor Johnson, it is thought, will secure Mr. Roosevelt respectful consideration. The governor Wilson, assuring him that nothing will be done that will impair the treaty existing between our country and Japan. The governor said. "I immediately upon receipt of your telegram it was transmitted to both houses of the legislature. I think I can assure you that it is the desire of the majority members of the legislature to do nothing in the matter of the alien land bills that will be embarrassing to our own government or offensive to any other. "It is the design of these legislators specifically, to provide in any act that nothing therein be constructed as affecting or impairing any rights secured by treaty, though from our local standpoint, this is deemed sary. If it were not enacted it will be embarrassed in character, relating to those who are ineligible to citizenship, and the language employed will be that which has its precedent and sanction in statutes which exist upon the subject. "I speak, I think, for the majority of the senate of California, certainly I do for the vetoing power of the state, when I convey to you our purpose to co-operate fully and heartily with the national government, and to do only that which is admittedly within our province without intended offense, or invidious discrimination. (J. HURAM, W. JOHNSON.) (Signed) HIRAM, W JOHNSON, "Governor." DR. DU BOIS A CANDIDATE FOR MINISTER TO HAYTI. It seems pretty well assured that Dr. W. D. DuBois is a candidate for the Haytian ministership. The information is a little surprising, notwithstanding the office is most alluring, with its $10,000 attachment. The doctor's ability and reputation are in his favor as a candidate. He is held to be the best educated Negro in America. His candidacy, however, should not be based on the fact that the physician has made a very acceptable minister. He is nicely educated, but makes no great pretense to learning. Political affiliation and political activity have something to do in qualifying an individual for office-holding. There's a tendency at this time to get away from that fact. If we get too far away from it, then the worse for the people. The checks and balances against the rapacity of the continuously successful come through the activity of opposing parties. If we will have opposing parties we must have individuals of those parties who will carry out the reforms of the party that comes to power. For instance, the Democratic party has it that if came to power we constitute a new tariff. The point is that we must have parties—we must have men who espouse the political principles of those parties, that there be changes, as is so often necessary. Dr. DuBois will not be grudged the Haytian ministership if it comes to him. But if he gets it he will find himself another W. H. Lewis, Assistant Attorney General, in that the thing would be considered honorary rather than for services performed, Lewis was of splendid education and ability. He was popular owing to his education and ability. But the politician has a way of knowing the fitness of things. DuBois doubtless would give a most excellent report of himself as minister to Hayt. But have his affection been benign and have sent his elevation above other men of the Democratic party? We do not stand particularly for any candidate; it is not our fight. Of course, we prefer to see an Indiana candidate succeed, as a thing of State pride. WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE THINKING ABOUT. Vice President Marshall is coming in for quite a deal of discussion because of his views on inherited fortunes, which he recently expressed in a speech. By some his utterances are classed as incendiary, in that the resultant tendency is to array class against class. He, however, is not without willing listeners and admirers. These see nothing but truth in what he said, even if not so palatable. The Washington (D. C.) Star thinks Mr. Marshall is simply exercising his political presupposition on American citizen as it should be during stressful political times when men are zealous in squaring themselves with their rights. We are interested in what the discussion has brought forth. At the close of the Star's editorial is this: "Let us have full and free discussion in this day of deep unrest and numberless remedies for our governmental ills. Let nobody be 'silenced.' Let men in office or out, men of high grade like Mr. Marshall and men of 'wild and woolly' grade, like Colonel Thingumbob, of 'Wind,' like speak out and have a position. It will be thought to know what everybody is thinking about at a time when it is proposed to throw a good deal into the melting not." Perhaps the Star did not have the Negro race in mind, but it is needless to say that its observations fit us to a nicety. Nor do we need to feel that we are excluded. We said at another time that mankind is becoming more interested in man, conceding one individual nothing more than another would take for himself, nor diminishing his sphere of rights and activities. It is more than theory that the Negroes will benefit, have benefited, by the wholesome advance. They benefited when Thomas Jefferson and his patriarchal set wrote in the Declaration of Independence. "All men are created equal." And as if that were not sufficient, Lincoln and the salvation set inspired the Fifteenth Amendment, that rock of Negro hope, conferring the franchise, thus making our Constitution the fairest flower that blows; and, of course, including especially that portion of the Fourteenth Amendment which says, "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty or property without due process of law, nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." The immediate foregoing has nothing to do with inherited fortunes, but follows: "It will be of value to know what everybody is thinking about at a time when it is proposed to throw a good deal into the melting pot. It will not amiss to insist that we are thinking to the rights of Negro citizens, insisting that they do not go to the scrap heap, but in the rearranging of our political atoms become an unrecognizable part of the mass. formances were largely attended by both white and colored people. Julius Glenn, the principal fun maker, as Captain Glen, played his part well and as a whole were very attractive.

The Negro race, as we think it, will ever be a distinct feature in the affairs of this country, a fact which carries with it the deplorable idea of discount, the result of prejudice. We hope and insist, as citizens, on the operation of the laws, leaving it to individuals and society as to what they may do or what they may think. As said before, the tendency is to have just such a condition. Recently a Southern publication, of the State of South Carolina, had the following on lynching: that lynch law is the best protection for our women. The certainty of justice and punishment and the enforcement of the law is the surest deterrent of crime. There is no certainty or justice in lynch law, and there is nothing more certain than that a Negro who commits an assault on a white woman will be convicted and punished if left to the due forms and process of the law." To some this will appear but a mild defense of what is right. When all of the facts are in it is not so feeble as it appears. Blease is the Governor of South Carolina. His attitude on lynching is well known. He prefers the sacrifice of the Constitution to an unynched Negro that commits a sault on white women. The operation would do the business as effectively as a mob, yet he would strike down order, institute anarchy, simply to accommodate a whim. Gov. Blease has something to cast into the melting not evidently. The position of the publication makes for an extremely hopeful condition. It is good to know what it is thinking about, and better that the thoughts can be registered on the side of law and order, the third thing to do is Baptist speaking meeting is not a bad for our civil affairs.

Julius Glenn, the principal fun maker, as Captain Jasper, played his part well as a whistle player. He was also a conductor and were very attractive. Black Patti were many handsome diamonds and her melodious voice was in good condition. That all were glad to see them was demonstrated by the large audience.

Prof. James H. Lyans, electrical engineer in the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, is so acquainted with the foremost educators and mechanics of the State of Kentucky. He is a brilliant scholar and master in his particular line of work. His work is quite frequently by corporations and private individuals and business men.

Prof. Lyons came to this school three years ago, Washington, D. C., to accept the position of electrical engineer and he has filled the position ever since with credit to himself and agreeableness to the trustees of the school. Mrs. Tabitha Anderson called the citizens of Washington at the A. M. E. church. Dr. E. U. Underwood made a short talk, and Miss Julia S. Tempe, tenor of the Normal Delivering address on "Woman's Influence," which was very eloquent. Mr. Robert White, a very popular young man, is dead. The attention of the citizens are turned towards the loyalty of Negro business, even if you ever think, whatever you want something as good as whether there is a colored man in that store, or whether you would like to hear a response from those who believe in the elevation of the race, or patronize the colored coalf yard, drug store, pressing shop, insurance company, soft drink and restaurants, boarding house, or to divide up the spoils and patronize your Negro business houses as well as the white business houses to support your support. This is to be continued. PRESIDENT WILSON POLITE, BUT FIRM-ENDING TE ALTERNATIONS President Wilson, after a conference with the Democratic delegation from congress, concluded to address the California question. He also laws threatened by the legislature of that state. The note is as follows: "I speak upon the assumption, which I have made, that the governor of California do not desire their representatives—and that their representatives do not wish or intend—in any circumstances to embarrass the government of the state with a nation with whom it has most earnestly and cordially sought to maintain good will, and that least of all do desire to do anything that might impainte treaty obligations or cast a doubt upon the honor and good faith of the nation." Apeals With Confidence. "I therefore appeal with the utmost confidence to the people, the Governor and the legislature of California to act in a manner that would be considerably in a manner that cannot not view be fairly challenged or called in question. If they do mit necessary to the success of the mission, their intention to become citizens from the privileges of land ownership they can do so along lines already followed in the previous chapter, including all the national countries, including Japan herself. Insidious discrimination will inevitably draw in question the true obligations of the United States. I register my very earnest and respectful protest against discrimination in this case, but do so as the chief executive of the nation, but also, and the more readily, be subject to the more restrictive authorities of California, full generously respond the moment the matter is frankly presented to them as a question of justice. If they have ignored this point of view, it is, I am sure, because they did not realize what and how much was in CENTRALIA. ILL. Special to the Freeman.

Stovall and Miller have joined hands for the second time. Mr. Miller has just been called in to help, and will be known as Black Mutt and Jeff, the name they have written privilege to use in the game. This team can rightfully take the name of Mutt and Jeff as Mr. Stovall's three inches, while Mr. Miller is only three feet one and one-half inches high, weighing deep baritone. The difference in the sizes of these two individuals causes a big difference on the stage.

His stage personality is a voice and proved to the public that he is clean and a very good eccentric dancer. Mr. Miller being a natural born counselor of a clean type also, causes him to laugh in the screens of laughter and hold them to that point until he makes his exit. Songs used in the act were all written by the Black Mutt and Jeff, and are now on sale at all five and ten cent stores in all the principal cities. The act is now playing at Mobile, Alabama. The musicians are brining songs on encore nightly with the Black Mutt and Jeff. Mr. Stovall says that the Pike is the manager and are very fine and even the audience is very enthusiastic. Play at the Pike. The audiences are very nice and like clean work. It would remind you of the Howard theater, Washington, D.C. The Stovall and Jeff act disbanded on account of the understanding between the two, but Mr. Stovall was still very understanding. It was simply done to give Miss Stovall a rest, as she needed it very badly. Stovall had worked eleven months and was only and four days away off this time. She will be giving Miss Stovall a Mutt and Jeff act will possibly be introduced to the public as Miss Nina Stovall. Mr. Stovall and Jeff act is to try to intrude on the public at all times something but now for the Black Mutt and Jeff act is to talk about Black Mutt and Jeff act in attraction. They send them home on their songs and you can hear them on the street talking about Black Mutt and Jeff act in mistake in securing this act for the house. The Freeman says go ahead, Black Mutt and Jeff you got 'em. We will be glad when you all come in this part of the country.

C., where they have been playing regardless of the bad and unsettled weather. This show is composed of all favorites and was built with great care the musicians for bonus purposes. Miss Bonnie B. Thomas gets to the heart of her audience in her act. "Robert E. Lee is arranged especially for her and her husband," Bad Gordon, White, Brown and, Willie Moore delight the crowds with their runaway. C. B. Drew holds his audience spellbound in his barnyard act of magic when he has the stage literally covered with flowers. Everything from the very air. Everything is "over" the show and to all, and would like to hear from their friends at Rock Hill, S. C. Judging from the laughter and applause which greeted the Wilsons at the Auditorium this week, the new medley of nonsense which they prey on, the boy "Boy" caught at once. The main thing is to keep an audience in good humor, even if it should require horse play means to do it. And the boy "Boy" is good as anything that has been seen in the city. The Silent Wonder, was very clever in his eccentric chair, balancing feats and demonstrated the fact that he was a peer in his art, as he presented Montgomery and McLane were better than ever. Miss McLane was in good spirits. She displayed the exuberance she remained selfless. She remained a powerful magnet. Her work was not without the vim which has ever distinguished her. She labored as assiduously and deserved bursts of applause which followed her singing of the "Bumble Bee." Montgomery as a laugh producer has no equal. He was the laughter of the "Love Me" was humorous. Both of these people teamed up so well in a dance number that their ability was impressively The Crampon Trio had the audience deeply interested for fifteen minutes, as they watched the risabilities in motion constantly "Under the watchful eye of the good action and sentiment.

The "Darktown Politician" turned them away nightly at the beautiful Howard Thomas and Mr. Byars deserve a credit for making the Howard a successful playhouse. It is impossible to book enough first-class classes of acts to satisfy his patrons, Manager Thomas has been introducing mixed bills (colored and white) to the theater, most of the white acts come from the South, and stranger still, they have left their prejudices behind the white acts they packed nightly. Mr. Dudley continues to give his patrons the best vaudeville entertainments procurable, and Mr. Lew Henry, his assistant manager, are planning to make more shows which promise to improve existing conditions and evolve to the mutual benefit of managers and vaudevillians.

The work of the chorus is excellent; the music is excellent; the ensemble is the best heard in New York since 'Abyssina.'" Charence Logan: "I have always believed that your show would please in New York as well as in the South and West. Your singing has created a sensation, even in New York." Allen and Morten, comedians: "The best act of a comedy company seen with most incredible company which we have ever been associated." Fidler and Shetton, high-class entertainers: "Your show is giving general information about the music we are receiving. We are pleased with your success, but not surprised. We had confidence in the home product." Lester Walton, editor of the New York Age: "Your company gives a pleasing entertainment, and with a few minor changes should be able to make good anywhere."

A few days ago the H Cooper, member of the C of the city of Philadelphia clerk of the Emanupliah Commission, introduced an appropriation of $5,000 est. of National Negro B for the early days of the Emigration period in August. --- The Savannah, Ga., News says: The impression has prevailed that Negroes are unfit for factory operatives. This is not a new trend, only on the fact that several factories built in other parts of the South to be operated with Negro operatives failed. The failure was due to the lack of training to comply with mill regulations—to be on hand at a fixed hour continuously six days in the week. The Standard Life Insurance Company is a new organization by Negroes in Atlanta, Ga. It has a full legal reserve life insurance for all requirements including the depositing of $100,000 in registered municipal bonds with the state treasurer. The officers and directors are Negroes, and in the directorate and among the stockholders are some of the most prominent and really successful men of the Negro race in several Southern States. htE stock is well scattered. The population of this town is about 1,000, mostly natives and Chinese. There are about ten Americans, five of whom two American Negroes in the military service and one is civilian, blacksmith and a child soldier, and the other is Chief of Police. This is not so bad for this little town. This is a nice farming and a nice community, and good character some in here and settle. The Japanese are coming in by the hungarian force. The American Negro is waiting for the country to get settled up and then come running in, grip in hand to be kicked in the face, just as he is served today in Australia. The latest census from Boley, Oklahoma, one of several Negro towns of that state, gives a population of 4,000 a bank account with 100,000 deposits of $75,844.44; twenty-live grocery stores; five hotels; seven restaurants; water works worth $55,000; electric plant costs $10,000; construction sins ranging from $8,000 to $14,000; one bottling works; one steam laundry; two newspapers; two ice cream parlor; two hardware stores; two store; two churches; $40,000 Masonic temple; two colleges; one high school; one graded school; two city school buildings; one telephone exchange costing $10,000; six churches; two livery stables; two insurance agencies; one second hand store; two undertaking establishments; one number yard; two photographers; one bank and one of the best city parks in the state. One of the crying needs of Liberia is to have a native frontier force, well drilled, ready to protect and maintain the country. The Liberian army has been organized; it has been in existence for several years; just at present it is being drilled under three young officers. The Liberian government in the past year to Monrovia-Major Ballard, Captain Brown and Captain Newton. These men now bear counsels and orders. The Liberian government are paid by it. The force will be developed to 600 soldiers; it is rather easy to collect them; they come from many of the countries in the region, listed, know no English; they seem to enjoy the life of soldiers and rapidly improve their skills, the soldiers present a creditable appearance. When actually disciplined, so that they will not loot or cause distress when they are in battle, the soldiers present a great advantage to the nation. Unfortunately, the Liberian government is frequently in financial difficulties, the soldiers falls into arrears. There is always serious danger that, under such circumstances, they end isponent force against the government and cause difficulties. $10,000 TOWER CLOCK IS PRESENTED TO TUSKEGEE TUSKEGEE, Ala. — Booker T.

If you do him a slight, he will not do him an injury, he is justified in his first impression." When a fellow with an imaginary grievance has it in for you, only wise thing to do is to let him alone.

CLUB PULLS OFF BIG CONTEST One-Round Bess Goes Down The Badger A. C. had one of the largest and best fight cards it has ever had at the 1988 N.Y.C. Championship, April 18. Young Joe Gans had the best of Kid Edwards, of this city, in their ten-round bout. The first eight rounds were won by Edwards, but in the tenth Gans showed that he was master. Edwards fought a clean fight from start to finish. The first round of his six-round bout with Kid Bryant and then Bryant put Bess down four times, the second time he put Bess down eight each. The third put him out. Bess did not train for his match with Bryant and this is the first boy to defeat Bess with Bryant again the 16th of May. A year later, Jack Brooks was to fight Young Viney ten rounds, but Viney got back with Brooks went six fast rounds with Kid Bryon. Jack Hamblin fought six rounds with his barring skills. Fields.

DESTROIT—Discipline, not money, is the al-important question at issue in the debate between President Cobb and the late baseball club and its star player, outfielder Tyrus Cobb, who is now under suspension because he refused to accept the terms of a 14 contract outfielder President Navin. This declaration was made by President Navin in a signed statement. It is the amount involved in the monetary dispute. The statement follows the difference between Mr. Cobb and the Detroit baseball club is not over a matter of money. There are fundamental principles in the discipline organized in all walks of life. Money Not An Issue. It is conceded by everybody that Mr. Gobb is the best ball player in the world. $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous delibility, lack of vigor, weakened back, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has eroded so many warm and nervous men that their own homes—without any additional help medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his many power and virility, quickly and would have a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, ornamental sealed envelope to any man who wishes to me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of delirious anthood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to carry my a copy in confidence, so that when I'm anywhere who is weak and can courage a courageous person, I can dragging himself with harmful patient conditions, secure what I believe is the acting restorative, upbuilding, E. Robinson, and so cure him at home quietly and quickly. Just drop me at a line like this: E. Robinson, 3881 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and I will send you a copy of the book I have written on ordinary envelope free of charge. A lot many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely free. And Mr. Cobb is also the best paid ball player in the world. But this is not the issue. "Mr. Cobb did not make baseball; baseball made him. A player can not be bigged than the Mr. Cobb who creates him. To be a big player, the Mr. Cobb who attitude would be to concede that he is greater than the bame itself, for he has its laws at defiance. "Mr. Cobb is reporting for spring practice and giving the club the benefit of his knowledge and his play, organized through the south starring himself, with daily ultimatum to the Detroit club. If Cobb can persistently defy the laws of the game of baseball, the other players and where will his 'team-above-the-law' theory end? We may as well turn the club over to him and see what happens. Maybe It's Temperament. "If Mr. Cobb doesn't like a room a hotel client stays in, he doesn't like a week. If he doesn't like what a silly man in the grand stand yells at him he punches his face and is again out of the room." "He quits the game when we were fighting, he statues that he would not play with in left field, D. Jones, on account of some injuries, and the player. If he doesn't feel like practicing he leaves from the park. He has grown to believe that his greatness precludes his being a subject." Still Some Hope. "I think Mr. Cobb eventually will recognize his fault—until he does there can be no understanding between us. He de- signs his equipment and services, but then he goes to the other end of the facility finalmatums at me through the public press, proclaiming that no representative of the Detroit club has been sent "to the office." Mr. Cobb is an employee of the Detroit baseball club he knows where the office is. "In the past I have patiently put up with a great deal from Cobb.

BIG MEGO FIGHTERS ARE ELIMINATED FROM GAME (By Billy Lewis.) In the run of human affairs there are happenings now and then which so absorb attention that they stand out as the enduring triumphs of mankind. Everything swings about the date of the happening until the happening takes off often for the rate. Take the Jack Johnson film, for instance, that time there was a sort of pugilistic order that was going steadily on in one direction. Champions were coming, chants were being sung, and as they have ever been going since the business began. When Jack came he was a man of the street, routed the past, filled the present completely, changing the course of things as and as he moved. The man that has assaulted its borders. Enter in a sphere carved out a new future, an unexpected future, and most assuredly as it concerns Mr. Koosevett, for the better. It is by no means certain that the pugilistic trend dating from Reno is the best. It is not, however, the evidence of some good that came out of Reno. The quarrel that followed brought the white people and the colored people neuer face to face than has been the case in the race. True enough they were discussed mainly relative to physical ableness, yet the racializedness was fixed. But it is not this of which I wish to speak. This thought however in keeping with this (division of the theme, that the result of Reno. The elimination that was so much talked of a few months ago was thought to have back Johnson's arms, it was meant the objective of the attack, it was meant that way. It will be noticed, however, that the thing has been cached in the displeasure of the fairly under the ban of displeasure. This dates from Reno. The object is not to heap coals to the thing because because he was a principal at Reno; but to chronicling pure pugilistic history with the concomitant circumstance of the encounters, with more or less of the same jocular feeling, and I guess the head as a poutte must hasten a boll, but it was coming all right; the difference being that the long duffed puff agony was shortened but it was more Before Reno you could read pleasingly of Joe Gans and often, also, of Sam Langford, of Sam McVey, of Joe Jennette, Sams, and Sam Langford, who can only an exile. True enough, one gets at a line on him now and then over in Australia where he gets fighting enough to do the work. By the way, Australia has some funny laws about aliens coming into the country. It is something on the bond order given to responsible to go to Australia and so forth. And before such persons can leave the country they must give a satisfactory account of themselves during the sojourn, to go to Australia or to law failed in living up to the laws they may be detained by the sponsor. Now, if that's a fair tale, Billy McClain is responsible for that. Why does that no one thought of holding him. He thinks Sam Langford THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER and McVey will have a sweet time getting away from the Kangaroos. So like a play of some master hand the big Negro fighters find themselves like McVey as a pugilist had Paris for his parish, an erstwhile American citizen. The lure of gold led him to Australia and then to New Zealand, two, three order until he had nothing more to do. Then came our Sam Langenhiem—whipping him and getting whipped by him. The shekels fell to him in showers in his first engagements but he acclimated himself to the manager. With his fights far between as they seem to be he may be just dragging around, but they may be true. The fighters over there may have everything their way. This is absolutely true, however, that they are not accidental or big bouts whether by accident or design. --- Joe Jeanette gets a go now and then, but never with the big "white hopes," but with the small, hard-working fighter not drop out of the fight together. All of this may have happened just this way, but it looks as if there were no other fighters in the fights where there is money worth talking about. Such beakers are not figuring in the fights where there is money worth talking about. Such beakers don't look very good, colored boys who are anxious to be known as the joining Joe Gans or the coming Jack Johnson. To be a Joe Gans or Jack Johnson is a fine job, a fine job, a mean much. "Twould be us to tinkling cymbals and sounding brass, very poor and the terrific beatings they sometimes get." The colored fighters seem to know that the day of big pursues for Negro business under the name of boxing has become more general. Persons who never saw a scrap before now see them as a new breed of business since Reno. The boxing matches reduce chance of a scrap, since there is not such a scrabble. So the kind of money is no longer spent to see them. There are no instances that could reproduce Reno financially. The colored fighters have all of this against their chances of winning the championship, the thing of elimination which is more truth than fiction. This elimination is first intended to outrage Johnsons in championship competition, heavyweights and which they have done—the most concerned that they meant to take.

THE COLORED GIANTS IS A WONDERFUL TEAM Defeat Seattle in the Rain and Mud— Show Remarkable Speed, Fine Fielding and Hard Hitting—Raymond's Play Badly in Spots, but Fight Hard. (By Portus Baxter.) It is not surprising that the Coast League clubs avoided battle with the American Giants in colorado in courage to tackle them and was walloped four out of five games. Yesterday afternoon in a drizzling rain, the colored wonders added Seattle to the list of teams with 10 to 5. There is some satisfaction, however, in the thought that it was a battle all the way through enough our teams had spots. We may be able to beat the colored men out of the remaining games, but on form they are entitled to make that three out of four. The famous Cuban Giants. There is not the slightest doubt about their being of major league caliber. They play ball at all the games, and their skill had something to do with making our team look "rotten" several times. Rain and a slippery field did not A Wonderful Ball Tteam. It is only fair to the local team to point out that the Giants have been playing all winter and are in much better shape than they were out of ninety-hive, which is some record, believe me. Dougherty, the left-hander, who was in the box, is the same fellow who let the Chicago Cubs down with two outs in the first half of the world's championship. And yet they say that Lindsay, who will be in the box, is even a better pitcher. Perhaps he, is but Dougherty has all the goods any self-respecting pitcher should carry about. In the ninth Dougherty walked Jackson. Nill and Fullerton hit, filling the sacks. Killip drove a high passer to the left, stockade, scoring two. Baird batted for Dean. Wally had the chance, but he felt chilly and Baird was only too eager to try. Baird walked. This filled the sacks, but Raymond hit to Dougherty, who got Fullerton at the plate, and then Petway what a catcher he is by the way he got the ball to first, ending the game. Pete Schneider struck out eleven, and although hit for two hits, his deserved injury late. In several instances support was below par, which permitted runs to come over. The error column does not show some of the bad work by the same teams played the following afternoon.

COMMENT ON CHICAGO GIANTS WINNING GAMES AND FRIENDS ON THE PACIFIC COAST. The following items are given without reference to place or authority but nevertheless are rare. The Giants now playing ball on the Pacific Coast. "Megaphone" Miller, the popular announced at Dug's park, thinks the greatest catcher in the country is Petway, who played with the Chicago Giants in 1985. According Miller, if the Chicago Giant was not of shady complexion, he would go in in the big league and roar there. He says Petway was a cushion without even getting up from a crouched position. The "smoke" is chain lightning on his feet and is a terrific hitter. The critics who declare that the American Giants would win the pennant in any minor league and finish in first division in the majors do not ever mention Portland against the Colts April 12 and 13 are real ball players. They demonstrated this at Vancouver, Barracks, blanking the soldiers, 7-0, in a five-in- The score alone means little insofar as the strength of the dusky squad is greater than the strength of the defensive ones themselves in the field and at the bat does. The colored boys only played the game to satisfy 500 military fans and to show their championship skills the high-touched Chicagoans, and then shoved Parks, an outfielder, into the box, and placed Petway, the regular catcher, at first base. It is unfortunate that the visitors can play the game from home and greatest colored car in the world and qualified to battle on even terms with the best in the Nation. In the games they have played here they have shown their class in many ways, yet the conditions have been such that they could not play the kind of ball the fans like to see. Rube Foster's band of merry troubadour league team a dreadful drubbing before a crowd that packed the park. The score was 17 to 7, and it surely was a great victory. The team had a couple of days of deluge and the baseball bugs came swarming from everywhere to see the great negro ball team in the game. And fringed the foul lines just like Dug expects it to on opening day, big Sundays and holidays, and the fans enjoyed the game. It did spell disaster for the local team. The American Giants are not members of this league, and the three stinging runs not count, so no harm has been done. If some genius could whitewash that pumkin in any minor league land, he would also be made quite welcome in St. Louis or Boston or BGrowlkyn, where second division teams weary the faithful formation. A complete census of the colored population of Seattle could have been taken from the town and his gut was there, and they gave the darktown brigade from Chicago a noisy greeting and showered them with kisses of dismay. If the Giants did not go away with a friendly feeling for Seattle they are an ungrateful bunch, for they were given the best team in the division. Gatewood, a mammoth black man, went out on the mound for the negroes and put half the park in eclipse. Our hired men were darted from the shadow made by Mr. Gatewood, way to the plate was rather rocky until the last round, when the big black lobed runs, thus bringing the fellows made three runs, thus bringing the score to more respectable proportions. This fellow Gatewood is considered another Johnson, Matthewson and Wood all of whom have perfect control and terrific speed made him a formidable opponent. His spit ball was breaking in grant style throughout. He played on the street, Chicago, where they play right through the summer, touring the South in the winter months. Jack Johnson figured out how to play first base, but he could not fast long in such company. The team is regarded as major league coach of United States League compete against the League Clubs. They have edge over the Northwestern Leaguers and that they are now training at top speed. M'CARTY OUTPOINTS FLYNN. Ring Experts Declare Luther Shows Great Improvement. PHILADELPHIA. — Luther McCarty carried the scalp of fireman Jim Flynn when he left. At the Olympia A. A. he round bout. That McCarty did not score a knockout was due to the fact that Flynn covered up in five of the six sessees and to swap punches with his opponent. Ring experts who saw the conqueror of Al Palzer express the opinion that he has indeed wonderfully since his first fights in the east. BOB ARMSTRONG One of Cleverest Heavyweight Boxers on the Tennis Court 80% Account of Tender Heath "Gymnasium champion" was the title originated and measured to fit the program. He was the boxing any of the pugilists of his heyday in training quarters, but he lacked one essential that kept him from becoming more of a character in the pugilistic arena. Armstrong was too tender hearted to decisive conquests, and he was decisive and command public attention and support in his quest to openly engage the best of the heavyweights. He could not beat an opponent unmercifully once resented that his adversary was his inferior. The most impressive example that can be seen in his matches was meetings with Prink Childs. After watching them fight different opponents it was an odds-on wager that Armstrong won, but once in the ring opposed to each other Bob failed to press Childs, and Armstrong won comparatively easily from Although Armstrong never was even what might be called a near champion, he was not well liked and best liked of all the boxers of his time because of his wonderfully even disposition. There were few—in fact, his opponent was not bad and countered when his temper became ruffled. Most of the time he smiled. He smiled when he was punched and he smiled when he was hit and countered with a fist or a hook. An Ideal Sparring Partner. This made him an ideal sparring part ner, and it is in this capacity that Armstrong serves even at the present time. He is the prominent heavyweight practically all of the prominent heavyweight practiced by Joe Choynski was preparing himself for his fight with Peter Mather at the old York club in New York. He has worked with him since Fitzsimmons, Jeffries and the rest and now is perfecting the work of "Gunboat" Smith and "One Round" Davis, of Buffalo. It was really "Parson" Davies who brought Armstrong out. The manager in his travels saw the negro work and was impressed by his boxing ability. At the Davis club he trained himself camp at Asbury Park. Tommy Ryan, Jim Hall, Joe Choynski and Jim Berry were training there. Davis sent his training and told him to report to Sam Austin, who was associated with Davies. It was Bob's first appearance in New York City and Austin was prepared to take the boxer to Asbury Park. Looked Like a Tramp. "Well, I remember," remarked Austin, "how Armstrong looked when he arrived. He had worn the toes out of his shoes, and wore them were rugged. In general appearance, he was taller than the boat on the ferry boat crossing the river to take the train for the training camp Armstrong stood on the rear of the boat, and were considered scary skiers in those days. Bob remarked, admiration and wonder, fairly sticking out of him, "That sure is." The one long speech for Armstrong in those days," continued Austin. "He was always very polite. He never spoke unnaturally, but answered for the most part in monosyllables. The one big thing that Armstrong did in a pugilistic way was to act as chief fighter in the war, and his fries to the New York public. Jeffries traveled to New York to fight two men in the same ring on the same night, and some pumkins in the heat of the ranks, was selected as one of these two men. Armstrong was decided upon as a fighter, more chance than because he had prepared himself to be in line for such an opportunity. Bob Outpoints Jeffries. Tom O'Rourke was conducting the club and Davies was a friend of his. Parson personal challenge and it was agreed. Armstrong was armstrong was put on first with Jeffrey Armstrong, saying the Bob might prove sufficiently aggressive if fries and thus give O'Donnell a better chance. Armstrong boxed Jeffries to a fries box and then nounced that he would be unable to meet O'Donnell because he had injured his right wrist on Armstrong. Armstrong boxed Bob who originated the expression "Bring home the bacon." Armstrong was behind Joe Wolcott the night Joe fought Tommy New York. During the encounter Armstrong fairly hollowed from the corner at Valcourt. Come, on you Joe, bring home the bacon." ATTELL,KAUEMAN Officials Stop Sham Bout and Declare it "No Fight." ATLANTA—Atlanta police commissioners last week stopped the scheduled runoff of the national featherweight champion, and Benny Kaufmann, of Philadelphia, in the seventh round. Action by the commissioners was not immediate, but the bout was "on tight." After the first round the Philadelphia assistant commissioner, Matt Attell until the contest was stopped. BOOKER T.
