XXVI NUMBER 19 THE NATION'S CAPITAL PROMINENT PYTHIANS LEAVE FOR FOREIGN SHORES. MANNING HOST AT HARMONY DINNER The Malachites are Out for a Record— The Political Outlook for the Colored Brother—The Age of Combinations— Colored Bank to be Established. (Thompson's National News Bureau.) The Malachites Out For a Record. The Knights and Ladies of Malachites are out for a record, and the outlook on order is growing rapidly, and at the present pace, it is destined to become one of the strongest, if not actually the strongest Negro organization, if not only benvolent—that is, paying sick, accident and death benefits—but goes beyond that. It purposes to combine respectable training and own for their benefit and protection along all lines, civic, moral, educational and business. It has all of the benefits of other great organizations issued by the supreme governor, from the headquarters of the organization, 609 F street, northwest, this city. Says the "Order of Malachites has no bosses." It is an organization of the people and for the people. There is no member not response, and none so high, if in the wrong, whose cause it will not attack. I would suggest to all progressive Negroes Get in on the ground floor. It is easy and safe. For the next three months, Governor King announces that the joining fee will be only $1.00—fifty cents, and none on the night of the initiation. The monthly dues may be either twenty-five ecents or fifty cents, as boltage may elect, or $10.00 per week sick benefits and $50,000 death benefits. Fifty cents per month pays $4.00 a week sick and accident benefits and $100,000 at leath. This is not merely promised, but is paid An Age of Combination. In order to give small localities, as well as the large places, a chance, the grand lodge will for the next three months set up members—nothing less than ten, but as many more as may be desired. Arguing that the people should have the opportunity for combination that the Malachites afford, it will not be a difficult matter to get together on respectable persons and appointees, and will be given his membership free and be eligible to attend as a delegate the grand lodge meeting, soon to be held in connection with the "military" to visit this city is a rare treat. "This is an amalgam of age combination and conservation," remarked Governor Macdonald, "and the power of organization by allying ourselves with something that promises good to the largest number. All other races are together, or material development, legal protection, and moral improvement. Washington, where the President, the Supreme Court, and an ideal spot for the headquarters of an organization of this kind. It is the seat of intelligence, of wealth, or refinement, and is made, executed and interpreted. It is the nation's capital. No other fraternal organization has headquarters here. The mission we stand; divided or not." Governor King and his lieutenant, Miss Davis, will return from Panama about the time that many new applications for charters for new lodges await them. Seekers for information should address requests to the Knights of Malachites, or find many applications for D. C." The Political Outlook The political outlook is good or bad, according to the spectacles through which Lewis and Patel, Assistant Attorney-at-law, Auditor Alphin W. Tyler has been named. No one can tell whether any further changes are completed soon or not. Collectors ofDKK-1000s and Register Napier and Recorder Johnson are for whatever may happen. The rift in the office, as far as colored Democrats are concerned, is the office of assistant register of the treasury and in the Liberian government, the executive and these will be filled shortly and by colored Democrats. The candidates are all "sitting tight" and refuse to get "gold feet" in a few reverses as to offices which they have not looked for very seriously anyhow. The wise ones among the colored Democrats are not confining their attention solely to the Republicans. It is remembered that Santo Domingo has had colored consuls in the persons of H. C. C. Atwood and A. H. Grimke. H. C. Smith went to Santos, Brazil, under Cleveland, and McKinley sent him to New York. He was in N. Runyah to Asunción, Paraguay. R. T. Greener has been to Vladivostok, Russia, and C. H. J. Taylor was once nominated to Bolivia, and H. C. C. Atwood was also named as consul to Calais, France. The question is asked, if colored men have held these positions, or have been more concerned in the real world than be considered in the virtual? There are those who think it worth while to try for them, and in the near future, it is likely that applications for some or all of them will be available in the state department, where there is a belief, they will be given kindt ytreatment. Several of the candidates are still here. They will be within the fewest of days the plums will begin to drop. On the highways and by-passes, they will be Wilson and it is felt that he will grant the promised "square deal" to the Negro gos around to the matter of Negro patterns. Mr. Manning "Mine Host" at Harmony Dinner. **Speeches That "Hit the Mark."** Although the function was wholly informal, there were deliveries, impassioned speeches, and natural out of the inspiration of a joyous occasion and the contagious influence of good fellowship, without Repondering and Democrats exchanged felicitations and compliments with prodigal generosity, and way reloiking, with the hope that different paths might eventually bring all to the goal of larger liberties, full rights and a universal recognition of the Negro a co-partner of the American corporation. Bishop Alexander Walters was chosen to tourmaster by general consent, and eloquent interesting talks were made as follows: * "Our Host," R. W. Thompson; "The People," R. W.

A Monthly Magazine Mr. George W. Ellis has received a very important communication from Prof. Spingarn, the Spingarn Scholar of the faculty of Columbia University and a noted philanthropist and scholar. Prof. Spingarn is now very interested in the movement which seeks a wise and sane solution of the American race problem. His work and contribution along this line has been the cause of the seeing of the living Americans. His latest contribution is to offer a gold medal annually to the academy as a reward for his distinguished achievement during the year in any field of worthy endeavor. It would be very worthwhile to offer such scant and timely recognition of the worthy and successful people of color whose attainments and progress receives such scant attention. It would be very much such little attention in public and beijing manner. It is not much to say that this method of offering awards will not only inspire an ever widening circle of ambitious and deserving persons of African descent, handicapped persons and not only public attention but it will serve to focus public attention and to educate the great white masses of the country to the growing number of noted and distressed New Yorkers it might be well here to insert the letter: A Gold Medal for Negro Achievement, by a White Man. "A white man, interested in the welfare of the Negro, has offered a gold medal to the woman of African descent and of American citizenship who has made the most distinguished contribution during the war, of worthy endearment.

Inter Railway Department H, Indianapolis, Ind. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Short Flights Governor Blease says the courts can go there too. * * * * An untaxed market basket will help the poor man. * * * * Genuine women do not go wrong for lack of means. One way suggests that Vardaman try a haircut for it. * * * * There never was a newspaper fight that did anybody any good. * * * * The school scandal wave has been deflected from Washington to Atlantic City. * * * * There will be no distinctively Negro exhibit at the San Francisco exposition in 1915. * * * * Birmingham, Ala., has 52,305 Negro population, with an annual earning total of $100,000. * * * * To the ultra-protectionist, one per cent. off of an exorbitant tariff sched- ule is "free trade." * * * * Dr. Booker T. Washington, contemplating current political conditions, smiles and says nothing. Princess Augustine Victoria, of Hohenzollern, isn't the only "queen" we know who has no throne. * * * * Chairman Charles D. Hilles is watching on the coach-line for weak plays on the part of the democratic infield. * * * * A headline that might be allowed to stand in the columns of our journals: "President Wilson and the Patronage." * * * * Dr. and Mrs. George Cleveland Hall, of Chicago, have a fine girl—a spring floral gift from the stork. Congratulations! * * * * Let branches of the National Negro Business League be organized in every community where the Negro has a foothold. * * * * Nevertheless and notwithstanding those Louisiana sugar growers will continue to vote the democratic ticket. Watch them. Patronage is essential to sturdy political organization. Party managers, no more than the ancient Egyptians, can make bricks without straw. * * * "On to Philadelphia in August!" is the slogan. Mingle with the colored men an dwonomen of business that you will find there, and take hope for the future. * * * The United States can settle its own problems of canal tols without submitting such a personal business proposition to arbitration at The Hague. * * * Japan is somewhat off-color, but she has a flag, an army, a navy and a whole lot of fighting ability. Japan is treated with respect by all the nations of the earth. * * * In "burying the hatchet," even with the handle sticking out, Bryan and Clark have set a splendid example for certain Afro-American warriors we know very well. If a visit to California places the "yellow peril" in a better condition, a distinguished emissary might go into the South and take a shot at the "black peril" there. Colored editors, preachers and business men generally should be more punctual in answering important letters. Many anxious moments would be turned into joy thereby. Bishops W. B. Derrick and M. B. Salter, differing widely in their personal make-up, were both great men and rendered yeoman service for the uplift of the Negro race. They will be missed. The Freedman's Bank depositors should be paid that remaining 38 percent. It would mean the distribution of more than a million dollars among needy colored people all over the country. It will be indeed a "human tragedy" if the favorite sons of the Afro-American democracy should fail to "land" a plum of goodly proportions, after a patient wait of sixteen years. "Hope deferred maketh the heart sick." * * * The filing of frivolous charges against candidates for office is one of the pastimes that is doing the race incalculable harm. It gives our enemies a chance to argue that we are at the zero mark in the scale of morals. The Liberian situation is again critical. The master of political economy who can devise a way by which the African Republic can be permanently placed on its feet will be the greatest benefactor of this generation. President W. S. Scarborough, of the Wilberforce University, is putting new life into that time-honored institution. His fame as an educator and constructive force in human affairs will long outlive that of his would-be detractors. * * * * We have a number of friends who are trying their level best to bat 1,000 in the Prophecy League by picking out the next Register of the Treasury, the Recorder of Deeds and Minister to Haiti. Only fools have been hit up to this time. * * * * Why should not the Negro regiments in the regular army be officered from top to bottom by Negroes? We say again, if we must have separate organizations based upon the color line, we should have all the advantages that go along with them. Register J. C. Napier says the young Negro of today would be better off if he would read the "Business and Trade" page of the daily newspapers, instead of the pink sheet which tells of the outcome of the base ball, basket ball and prize fight contests. No one will begrudge woman a place in the public eye, if she has any time to devote to the management of the government after she has washed and dressed the children, often through with her cooking, sewing and house cleaning, improved her mind with the reading of a few newspapers and pro- fitable books, and fixer herself up to look like the queen that her loving husband wishes her to be. * * * * It is pleasing to note the rehabilitation of the United Order of True Reformers. Grand Master Floyd Ross is "some leader" of men and women. A fraternity must possess extraordinary claims upon the support of the people when it can "come back" after being near unto death. The Negro has little sympathy for organized labor—because organized labor is bitterly opposed to a many chance for the Negro. No organization deserves success that draws the color line on the bread and butter of a worthy co-worker in the field of industry. Next month will bring the Negro's total of graduates to an enormous figure. What to do with them is one of the problems that will tax the ingenuity of the statesmen of the race. The embarkment of our moneyed men into business is one of the solutions that come most readily to mind. * * * It is not too late to secure a copy of Booker T. Washington's masterly article, "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" which appeared in the Century Magazine of last November. It is reprinted in pamphlet form and will be interesting reading for many years to come. Write to Tuskegee Institute for information as to how a copy may be had. Emmett J. Scott is largely responsible for the colored people's handsome Carnegie library at Houston, Texas. It was this brilliant young statesman who persuaded Andrew Carnegie to donate the money that made the institution possible. Mr. Carnegie is an ardent admirer of Mr. Scott and will come pretty nearly doing anything in reason that he urges him to do. Prof. Charles H. Moore, national organizer of the National Negro Business League, has turned statistician, and is contributing a series of valuable articles on the progress of the Negro to a number of leading North Carolina dailies. Prof. Moore is a man of ripe scholarship, possesses a remarkable knowledge of public affairs and would make an admirable head of a big college in the Southland. Mrs. Woodrow Wilson is an ardent believer in the saying quality of domestic science. Not long ago, while in Bermuda, she lost the services of a satisfactory cook. Being an expert at the kitchen range herself, she donned an apron and prepared her husband's meals with her own hands. It is but faint praise to say that she made a success of the job and added to her firm faith in the virtue of domestic science for every housewife. Former Governor Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri, and President Nicholas Murray Butler, of Columbia College, are mentioned as an excellent ticket for the republicans to nominate in 1916. Former Secretary of the navy, W. E. Chandler, has brought Senator LaFollette. Now is the time for "boomlets" to sprout. Every American is a possible president (except the Negro, etc.), and the people can try them out in the preliminary practice season. The Colorado Commercial Alliance has been organized by the colored citizens of Denver, Col., for the purpose of stimulating the commercial spirit and inducing Negroes to trade with establishments conducted by members of their own race. The wage-earning capacity of the Negroes of Denver is estimated at $2,000,000 per annum, and a goodly portion of this amount spent with Negro business would bring to the race a large measure of prosperity. Dr. Booker T. Washington spoke feelingly of the great worth of the late Bishop W. B. Derrick at the funeral of the prelate in Flushing, N. Y., the other day. He said that much of the achievements of the bishop were due to the fact that he had trials to undergo, the working out of which had made a man of him. The "Wizard" recalled the presentation by Bishop Derrick of a large American flag to Tuskegee Institute, following his first visit to the school some years ago. ```markdown ``` The race question will have another airing next August in the American Bar Association. If there is any place on earth where fair play should rule it is in a body made up of men sworn to observe the letter and spirit of the law, and whose daily trade is contending for equal and exact justice for all. Moorfield Story, of Boston, is leading the agitation for an "open door" to the association, regardless of race or color, and will lead a determined fight to have his liberal view accepted by the organization. Good health is a valuable asset in any employment the Negro seeks these days. Corporations insist that the men they depend upon must be eternally "on the job." The Pennsylvania Railroad has put into effect rigid health rules in the dining car service. All waiters, cooks, kitchen helpers and dishwashers, white and colored, are obliged to undergo an examination every three months, and only 100 per cent. report on the physical test will insure them of retention in the service of the company. Te new Carnegie library for colored people at Houston, Texas, was designed by W. Sidney Pittman, a son-in-law of Booker T. Washington, acknowledged to be the foremost architect of the race. It embraces every modern library convenience and is said to be a "beauty." Mr. Pittman has designed some of the best school, lodge and business buildings in the Chicago area building at the Jamestown exposition in 1907 was one of his most notable pieces of work, and it attracted international attention. The white teachers in the colored public schools of New Orleans have been "fired." It seems that the public schools were formerly mixed and only white teachers were hired to do the teaching. When the separation came the white teachers were retained. The school board recently decided to do away with the white teachers in the colored schools and employ educators of the Negro variety. That is the correct thing to do under the circumstances. If we must be segregated, we should get all the benefits that accrue from the color line.

The gratifying thing about the matter, if any satisfaction can be extracted from the deplorable situation, is that not one of the Negroes murdered by mob violence, was accused of a crime against a white woman. Dr. Washing-ton, well to keep an eye on these matters, called public attention to the growth of the spirit of law and order, he has rendered the nation a distinct service. FT.

Men and women are wearing near sandals now. O, fashion thou art a tyrant. Now if the suffragettes will demand enlistment in the army their demand for voting will appear real consistent. Meredith Nicholson did some fine talking to his party at any rate. But your Uncle Tommy T. was right back at him. Wouldn't it be like old times if it would turn out to be Bookwalter and Holtzman again for mayor of Indianapolis? The Progressive party is bent on putting up a first class man for mayor also. If they succeed it means—well, what does it mean, any how? The cost of onions has been cut at Chicago as a result of a war with the middlemen. Ah, cut something else, onions ain't much no how. The Republicans are picking up courage along with some good material for the mayoralty race. Uh! and Walker are counted on as Republican hopes. Haiti has had a change of government without violence. That is, without very much. General Defy made a feeble effort to demonstrate. It was so feeble that it is not counted. Defy flew as all of the unsuccessful contenders have done. Women's outer skirts have undergone a sudden transition. They were short, very short, sometimes. Now they are very, very long. The little women look like dolls, or like the little girls who dress in their mothers' clothes and play women. They are tantalizingly attractive. The tall women look, O, so tall—very queens—some of them. Others appear to have merely a superfluity of garment. Former Vive-President Fairbanks is further authority on the Panama situation as it concerns the difference owing to our desire to permit our ships pass through the canal free of toll. Like other eminent authority, he insists that the nation is in honor bound to observe the treaty with Great Britain, to the effect that there shall be no discrimination in rates or preference shown the ships of any nation. HAITI HAS A NEW PRESIDENT. President Auguste, of the Haitian republic, died May 24, after a short illness. He was General Fancede Auguste, who succeeded General Cincinnatus Leconte, who met a tragic death with four hundred others, officials and soldiers in a fire August 8th, which destroyed the palace. Immediately after the death of Auguste the assembly met to choose his successor. Four candidates presented their claims to the office, Judge Luxembourg Cavin, former minister of the interior; Michel Oreste, a prominent senator; General Beaufosse Laroche, minister of war, and General Bellard Michel. Oreste was the successful candidate. He entered on his duties at once, displaying considerable energy in the suppression of the tendency towards disorders in the city. As far as it is unknown there were no demonstrations excused during the voting, when General Bertaux of the Bureau-Prince attacked the parliamentary building. He was repulsed by the government troops. He took refuge in the Cuban Location. The new President says that he will keep the peace—with a strong hand if necessary. That his predecessor did not meet his death by violence will be very much in his favor. But violence the members of which pledge them selves to be as obstructive as possible to those in opposition. THE TABIFF Tariff, or the taxing of imports is suggested out of the industrial conditions of various countries. It may be that our manufactures have worked overtime in order to show that the difference in conditions were greater than they actually were. Be that as it may, it is certain that there were differences, and that they made for the difference between the cost of the production of goods at home and those made abroad. Legislation in accordance with the idea of a great difference has been to the disadvantage of the poor. In that the home concern have been able to fix the prices of their goods too far above their true value, measured by the possible competition of foreign goods under fair tariff rules. According to the present day tariff reformers the margin between the prices of imported goods and the home products has been unreasonably wide, thus permitting great fortunes to be built up in a short while, and which came out of the pockets of the consumers. We are for the tariff, knowing that there is a big difference in the cost of production in various countries. We know that this difference must be met somewhere. The tariff scheme was, and is yet, the only arbiter, the only possible means of adjustment, of evening up things. We are not in for inflated prices, made possible by excessive taxation of outside products. A protection that insures our manufacturers a fair profit on their wares, is the sense of the day. The Democratic party has that in mind. In fact, both of the leading parties, the Progressive party, parties are of the same mind. The most rabid protectionist will not be able to see anything ruinous in the new move. It's the poor man's hour. The Democrats are at the bat. NEGRO OFFICE HOLDING STATUS It turns out that the office of Assistant Attorney General held by W. H. Lewis, has not been abolished as it was reported. It was said that the Democrats put the office out of commission as a sign of their displeasure at a Negro holding it. Some of our own papers circulated the supposed information most industriously. Now it appears that the office has not been abolished, it has been filled by a white man, a no less irritating fact than the other information. A howl has gone up over this appointment, and perhaps politic. All would slip away if there were no effort to retain it. We, however, need not be surprised if most of the larger places slip away from the race. Some insist that no sign of great progress in their letter about Washington nor any other place much when it is all over. Nothing like that has been given out. Yet, the Negro contingent of that party should not expect to see what they saw under a Republican administration. The attitude of the Democratic party has never been any too cordial, consequently many places will not come to the race. If that party will make it a point to keep down class legislation it will have performed its best service for the race. We would not like to think of the offices going altogether. This would be a species of political contempt which would be as ruinous as class legislation. It would stand for the elimination of the Negroes from politics, the fact being as demonstrative through the exclusion from high places as if it were the lower places. President Wilson either has decided views on the Negro patronage question, or he is awaiting developments. We rather suspect the latter view is correct. Mr. Wilson will govern somewhat by public sentiment, and by party sentiment, but at but at no time wholly forsaking his own views of what is best. We venture this, basing it on our estimate of the man who wishes to serve the man. THE OATH BEAUTIFUL. Prof. Kelly Miller has not referred to what he calls the Oath of Afro-American Youth as the oath beautiful. Perhaps the expression lacks in virility. But those of us who think well of strength and beauty combined with the Oath of Afro-American Youth also as the oath beautiful. It is. "I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy deed or honorable act: I will live a clean, decent, manly life; and ever respect and defend the virtue and honor of womanhood: I will uphold and obey the just laws of my country and of the community in which I live, and will encourage others to do likewise: I will not allow prejudice, injustice, insult or outrage to cover my spirit or humiliate my soul: but will ever preserve the inner freedom of heart and conscience: I will not allow myself to be overcome of evil; but will strive to overcome evil with good: I will endeavor to develop and exert the best powers within me for my own personal improvement; and will strive unceasingly to quicken the sense of racial duty and responsibility: I will in all these ways aim to uplift my race so that, to everyone bound to it by ties of blood; it shall become a bond of enoblement, and not a bword of reproach." We are not so sure that the Kelly Miller symphony of thought will become a part of our race literature, or even a platform of principles to the Afro-American youth as a whole. We are sure, however, that in either event it is extremely worthy—"a string of pearls"—that should be counted one by one in the hope of the realization of their beauty. Prof. Miller outlined a race saving declaration at the very onset: "I will never bring disgrace upon my race by any unworthy act." Here is enough to last a lifetime if the Negro boys and girls will care to work it out. If they will stack hands here, and to stand on that plank, jails and prison houses would become obsolete and useless as far as they are concerned. All that follows along the line is but errant. It is just as the whole moral code which is summed up in: "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you." This means observance of every moral principle. The other principles of the oath leading in other directions are scarcely less vital and saving. As a code of morals the Oath of Afro-American Youth in potentiality is no less efficiencies than the holy writ. THE SUFFRAGETTE MOVEMENT The suffragette movement is getting serious enough in this country to be interesting. Outside of sentiment for women as the sex to be protected, admired and loved, there are no well founded reasons why some women, at least, should not be represented in the government by women. At this distance from the possible realization of what's now more than a dream the thing in this section is not so appealing, and because we are not use to it. The women of property have possibly a cause for wishing the ballot, in a manner they are taxed without representation—special representation. They, however, suffer no inconvenience or imposition, since their possessions are safeguarded just the same as the possessions of the voter. The laws of the land care for the women as they do the men. Knowing that they have every right except that of voting and office holding we cannot see why they should worry. Men as a rule do not care to think about the matter. This, out of the tender respect for thems, is out of the tender respect for THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER them. Men do not care to see women default the high place in their affections, cheapening themselves by activities that are so contrary to their nature. Men do not care to know of women enlisting in the army, and yet, plainly enough it will be their duty to become soldiers in event they become voters and office holders. has been on the sick list for six weeks.

The s AMERICAN GLI Duncan, 15 Custom and sentiment are, perhaps the most that stands in the way of the aims of the suffragettes. But these are sufficient in view of what is to be gained. If the women were mistreated as they were years ago their fight for emancipation would be righteous and just. In this day they are accorded distinguished regard. Inconvenience and untold hardships are endured that they remain queens of the human kind which is universally conceded them. They will not be comforted, however. They are willing, far too many, it appears, to resign their thrones, and compete with men in the things from which many men shrink as from an unclean thing. Through it all, nevertheless, we do not strenuously oppose the women's efforts. They are a part of the human family and should have, within the bounds of reason, what they want. We, however, prefer to see them going on in the old sweet way, loving and being loved, the true helpmeet of man that is spoken of in the Bible. But if they must vote and fight, let them vote and fight, let persuasion and not by injecting the militant phase, the Carrie Nation phase with their long line of misdeeds. A cardinal principle of government is that those fitted to govern show it by their willingness to be governed.

H. Dudley. Love Horty, a daddy's week. He presents Ania Ramsey, a daddy kid soubret with some class, followed by Frank Williams, a good single, who changes his name.

Jack staggers and the audience hold their breath, some of them holding on to theri seats. Then Jack drops his knife and as he stoops to pick it up and strike the fatal blow, Nell fires a (blank) shot and Dan falls dead. Jack gets the gold and the girl. The house screams and the curtain is lowed. It is a good act. The vaudeville is a riot from start to finish. Addell Jackson opened the bill with two songs that start the fireworks. Then comes Pelibon and Stephen, who gets heirs. Then Bert Whitman and her Sisters come amid shouts and whistles. It is of no use to say more, for we all know what Bert and her Picks do. Then the show is stopped, for String Beans and Turner come on with a musical act. We have to give three shows a night to accommodate the big crowds. We wish to congratulate our old friend, Tim Owlesy, on his little three-months-old baby girl. May all of his troubles be about like that. We have them all. Haves written you. Trixie Smith and Mabel Braggs are in for theirs at every turn. BAILEY'S AIRDOME, PARIS, TEX Young and McDaniels 'Vaudeville and Dramatic Stock Company of fourteen people is still doing a nice business here. We are in our fourth week and the classy shows we are putting on seem to whet their appetites for more and more. We were handicapped somewhat one or two nights on account of the inclement weather, but the business that flowed in afterwards fully repaid all shortcomings. We have added more new features and the manager has gone to Dallas, Texas, to engage more new people. Paris is a good show town and the people will appreciate and patronize you if you hand them the goods. A. O. H. McDaniels is the good comedian and splendid producer, and between he and I, I think we can sail this little theatrical ship to successful shores, financially. Regards to all. NOTES FROM 101 RANCH WILD WEST. We opened on the 5th day of April at Hot Springs, Ark, and did a big business, something that rarely happens in the closing town, we having closed there on the 16th day of last November. We only played two other stands in the state and then cancelled all our Southern bookings and jumped straight through to St. Louis, where we opened in the Coliseum seven days ahead of our schedule, as we were billed there for the 19th of April and we opened on the 12th. But in spite of all we did a great business for fourteen days and met all the old boys and had some times, as there were five bands partly or wholly fitted out of St. Louis this spring. And, when you come to think the matter over, that speaks well for old Missouri. Our roster is as follows: L. K. Baker, director, solo cornet and manager of band; M. Casey, second cornet; A. Parker, first cornet; David Francis, clarinet; Charlie Brown, first alto; S. Ford, second alto; W. F. Washington, first trombone; Willie Nash, second trombone; James Mitchell, baritone; W. H. White, tuba; Ernest Williams, bass drum, and James L. Holmes, snare drum. This aggregation is considered by the management and all of the old attaches of the show to be the best band the show has ever had in the side show, and, of course, we feel very proud of our little bunch. All the boys are glad to get east, as it will be our first trip in that part of the country in two years. Our genial manager, Mr. George V. Conners, and his amiable wife are still ruling the destines of the side show and ministering to all the needs of the sick and well. We wish we could express our feelings for Mr. and Mrs. Conners more emphatically for their many kind deeds. They are more like a father and mother to us than managers. Everybody is clamoring for the Freeman, so please send them at once. We all want them. AT ATLANTA, GA., ON L. D. JOEL TIME. Robert C. White and Estella White arrived safe in Atlanta and were cordially received by the theatrical king, Mr. L. D. Joel, whose time they are playing. They are singing their own songs, "Ball that Jack" and "Mr. Colored Man." Their tramp railroad act and own real scenic train is some act. They send regards to Billie Mills and Zollie Ford. The Whites and Arntes had a good time talking over old times. Keep in touch with the Freeman friends. AND STILL IT GROWS! The S. H. Dudley circuit will add another link to its chain June 2. The Ruby Theater, Louisville, Ky., is considered the prettiest and largest colored playhouse in Kentucky. This is the third attempt to open the house for the colored amusement seekers of Louisville, and Mr. Dudley will give them a run for their money this time to see if the people of that city really want high-class vaudeville or not. He also promises to give them a better class of pictures than they have ever had before. Well, to tell the truth, that's Dudley's long suit—pictures. He runs the best pictures in Washington, and the same applies to his Newport News house. He has something on the picture game; he gets the best. The staff for the Ruby Theater is as follows: S. H. Dudley, proprietor; B. O. Dudley, resident manager; Joseph Clark, Jr., assistant resident manager; E. B. Dudley, orchestra leader; Mrs. E. B. Dudley, pianist; Billy Burtley, trap manager; Billy Burtley, head usher; manager; Sam Thompson door manager; Miss Lula Ball, head usher; Miss Madaline Jones, box office. Week of May 5, 1913.

Susie Sutton was one of the best favorites that has struck Washington. Alonzo Moore is now under the Dudley management and has ten weeks ahead. Brown and Lawson are in the city of Washington laying off on account of sickness. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELPHIA. (By J. H. Gray.) Taken only from the standpoint of the paying public, the fine acts billed at the Auditorium made the most attractive evening's entertainment of any variety theater in this city this week. The combination had every variety of comedy on its list. To Lelia B. Mitchell and her four boys has been given the place as headliners, and, while the act is familiar the business introduced by the five comedians is so good and the actions so lively that the quintet has every right to the dance dance being down the house. The reappearance of Carrie Stithe proved a most delightful surprise. A good singing comedienne is always somewhat in the nature of a surprise package. This time the theater drew a real comedienne, her telephone song catching on, and everyone was reluctant to let her go. Tim Moore, a comedian of original methods, with a lot of timely quips and with some good repartie, held the close attention of the audience. Heester, his wife, by her singing and dancing won approval from the patrons. Thompson and Radcliffe are not only clever in their line, but they put comedy into their work to take the edge off the thrills. The Hackless Duo brought many smiles and their singing and dancing won the approval of the patrons. successful season in Beloit, Wis., at the Grand Theater, where they have been playing to S. R. O. The members of this company are as follows: Mr. Edward Atkinson, first tenor and manager; Clarence L. Long, first tenor; Joseph J. Miles, second tenor and reader; Harry R. Hopkins, second tenor; Charles S. Gilpin, baritone; Loraline Board, baritone; William L. Hawkins, basso; Matthew A. Outley, basso, and Otis Sanders, pianist.

Russell Smith' DON'TS FOR THE MANAGERS, PER FORMERS AND OWNERS. (By Uncle Joe Golpin, Pastime Theater at Muskogee, Okla.) Don't argue with help; let them go. Don't offer larger salaries than you can pay. Don't fail to pay off after you receive service. Don't think you are P. T. Barnum—he is dead. Don't think you are the only person in the business Don't carry your gun in your pocket and be a bully. Don't fall to treat your selp no worse than yourself. Don't try to show the producer how to stage his own show. Don't steal another man's show and call yourself a producer. Don't meddle with another man's act, unless it is your duty. If your producer is not satisfactory let him go and get another. Don't think you are a theatrical king but just keep a small head. `Don't try to handle the stage unless you know what you are doing.` Don't try to do omore than you are capable of doing. It goes badly. Proprietors, don't hire a house manager and try to run the house yourself. Don't fight your help. It makes you a bad fellow and makes help hard to secure. Don't ask your fellow performer what his salary is. It is not your business. Don't leave a manager in the hole. Give him time to get someone else in your place. Don't write and say you can do more than you can do. You make yourself a bad fellow. Don't think you are the best in your line of work, for the is just as good, if not better. Don't bore the company with what you have done and the big time you have worked. Don't think you know it all in a couple of years. It takes half of a lifetime to learn the show business. Don't let performers tell you what the stage manager should do. Tell them you are not running the stage. Don't be a reproducer. Write your own show if you can. I you can't, then let those who can put their own shows on. Don't treat performers worse than you would yourself. Treat all alike. Do unto others as you would have others do unto you. Don't meddle with the business manager's affairs. Run the stage, and you will do enough. If you give satisfaction there you will earn your salary. Business managers, don't distate to the stage manager about what he should do. You cannot work in the front of the house and on the stage also. Don't try to be a George Walker. Be original. There was only one Geo Walker, and one Bert Williams. Don't "ape" the other fellow; it's a bad policy to follow. Don't try to run the theater unless you are in that position. Do what you are required to do. Don't boast where you have been and what other theaters have and what other managers do. All houses and managers are different. Don't fight performers. Let them go if not suitable. The days of whipping are over. You should join the army. Don't fight at all. If you have a high temper, go into another business, as the show business is not for hot-headed people. Performers don't know more than the stage manager; if you do, keep it to yourself. A still tongue makes a white haze. Stage manager, don't think you are a king because you manager the stage. Last, but not least, don't be vulgar. Be gentlemen and ladies on and off the stage. Do your work and be brothers and sisters. SAM RUSSELL'S STOCK COMPANY HOUSTON, TEXAS. Ha! ha! ha! heard for blocks away while passing by. Sam Russell's Whirlwind Stock Company at the Dreamland Airdrome, corner of Milan and Texas avenue, Houston, Texas.

Corwell and B. H. Nye tendered the members of the Southern Smart Set Company a delightful banquet at the celebrated Goldfield Hotel, Baltimore, Md. It was given in celebration of the closing of the most prosperous season the Southern Smart Set has ever played. The invited guests were Andrew J. Thomas and Mr. Bvars, of the Howard Theater; J. Finley Wilson, editor of the Baltimore Times; Fred Tidings, foremost printer and politician of Baltimore; Judge Collins, of Washington, D. C. and R. Bushell, business manager of the Mississippi Minstrels. * * * The Mississippi Minstrels, under the management of T. L. Corwell and B. H. Nye, headed by Funny A. Strander and Happy Sam Gardner, opened the holiday Street Theater Monday night to standing room only. The show gave entire satisfaction and the advance sale for the remainder of the week was large. The Goldfield Hotel stands as a very beautiful monument to the memory of Joe Gans, the greatest of all-around fighters that ever donned a glove. The Goldfield is equipped with every modern innovation. The rooms are exquisitely furnished, and there is a telephone in each room over which the guests may telephone to any part of the country. The hotel has its own exchange. The rates are reasonable and the service efficient. Mr. and Mrs. Ford Dabney are always in evidence, and one may always be sure of a pleasant welcome. Politeness and cleanliness is the motto of the Goldfield. * * * The Baltimore Times had the following to say of the "Mayor of Newtown," while playing at the Holliday Street Theater: "S. Tutt Whitney, mayor of Newtown; J. Homer Tutt and Blanche Thompson with their mighty troupe of theatrical invaders captured old Fort Holliday last Monday night and have held the people during the week. "The editorial force of the Baltimore Times joined in the celebration as guests of the "Mayer of Newtown." The mayor, who is the commanding chief of this victorious army, is a comedian, a singer and a dancer. He is the only S. Tutt Whitney and as an all-around comedian is in a class by himself; everything is new and original. As His Honor depends upon his fertile brain for his plays as well as the staging, for two hours even a man with a chronic case of the blues can do nothing but laugh and enjoy him. THE GRAND THEATRE!

Mr. Tutt is a straight man of the company and is well versed in military tactics. He is successful in piloting the soldiers on their triumphal march to the Indian camps. As a singer he is one of the first magnitude, and we are proud to say that he is climbing year by year up the theatrical and musical ladder. He is the master of time, one he reaches the top. Russell Smith's 'Mexico' was well received. He was forced to accept an encore. The chorus stands out. The human nightingale, Blanche Thompson, waived her audience at her will. Blanche is a Baltimore girl, and the elite were very much in evidence on the first night. They have played to full houses all the week, and they leave the city for Washington, where they play all next week." CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADELPHIA This week the Circle Theater has the following artists: The Stewart Brothers, Comedian of merit; Miss Van Clay, contortionist; Watts and Turner, comedy duo; Purcell and Thornton, the heavy man and lead singer; Amzo Moore, greatest colored magician.

BY HAROLD C. MCGATH. JACK JOHNSON LOSES TO THE GOVERNMENT. Charge of "White Slaving" Now Confronts Him—His Chances of Freedom in the Balances. one—not strictly within the meaning of the law. This is ventured out of friendship for the champion, based on the fact that the charge was an after thought, and hence may not prove to be what it is supposed to be. (By Billy Lewis.) Jack Johnson comes very nearly having the distinction of being a captain who never lost a battle. Perhaps it isn't fair to list his fight with the government alongside his fist cuffs. But even in that respect he lost a few battles at the beginning of his fighting career. At no time has it been thought that Johnson would beat the government in this first case. Everything was against him. His wife had a new necklace which was not bought in this country. And to have such an ornament without it being seen would have been a useless expenditure of money. Mrs. Johnson wore this blaze of glory about her neck. It set tongues to wagging. Perhaps they were not envious, jealous tongues, as have so often been said, just curious tongues, eager to tell the news. A man of Johnson's notoriety is in poor business when doing things that should not be known. He's a prey for everybody; not always in the spirit of maliciousness as said before. Its human nature to try to know all about those who are in the public eye. It is said that we Americans are especially given to probing around in people's private affairs. This is not meant as an excuse for the pugilist; he should have known better than to offer a sample to rogue over the government when he so abundantly able to pay. However, he is not alone. The wealthy only have the opportunity to put it over the custom officials. There was no way for the champ to wiggle out of his trouble. So he had to lay down a cool $1,000 etch which was added costs to the tune of $700 plus. He dug up the amount from where he has dug up so often before. And that's what's so alarming. Can he dig up many more times without greatly impairing his for tune? It will be understood that Johnson also lost the $2,000 necklace. Adding these amounts it will be seen that he is out a very snug sum. The Johnson necklace may become tarnished or several diamonds, now known, owing to various ownerships, or because of some "peculiar" owner ship, or it may be considered a hooedo, bringing so sad bad luck to the future owners. Judge Carpenter cited other cases of smugging, but was inclined to see the Johnson case in a somewhat different light. He said there was no evidence to show that Johnson had personally snugged the necklace into this country and that the proof was that he had merely attempted to conceal the facts of the purchase after his arrival in Chicago from London. "This plea, while not a plea of guilt, is an implied confession," the judge said. "I might add that a plea of guilt in this case would probably create the greatest sort of prejudice against Johnson in case that that is to come up later." The prosecutor, Assistant District Attorney E. G. Godman, stated that when Johnson made a declaration to the officers in New York upon his return from London, where the necklace was purchased in 1911, he made no mention of the purchase. He said when the customs agents first went to Johnson he stated that the necklace had been brought to Chicago by a friend three weeks after he and his wife returned home. The careful expressions of the judge leads one to think that Johnson will have a good chance in the case that is to come up later, that of "white slaving". It is plain to see that the champ will not lay down in this case with its nolle contendere. Nor it is so plain that the government has him best, unless it cares to be too technical. True enough, there have been convictions on the same charge since the charge against Johnson was made. White men have received prison sentences, a most disheartening fact, one will think, for the pugilist. But at that, his case is not hopeless. The charge came about owing to his continued relations to white women and other conduct that was opposed to prevailing sentiment. It may be that his case will fall outside of what may be a liberal construction of the statute. In the courts to put the champion to the bad the charge may prove a lame MEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO DAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nerves delirium, lack of vigor, weak arm, numbness, memory and lame muscle, excess urination, cramping or the folles of youth, has so many worn and nervous men in their own homes—without any help or medicine—that this every time we wished to begin his many power and virility, quickly and would have a copy. So I have to send a copy of the pre-requisite free of charge in a plain, oratory send envelope to any man who write me for it. the prescription comes from a physi- cal therapist, and I am convinced it is the sur- sure combination for the cure of de- ficiency and vigor failure ever put down. I love it to it my fellow man to meet him a copy in confidence, so that my newhere who is weak and disinterested but repeated failures may stop himself and secure what I believe is theINPUT-DTINGING remedy ever devised, and so care him when he just drops in. Just drop him in line like this: E. Robinson, $331 Luck Building, Dick Mich, and I will send you a $331 spendled receipt in a plain envelope any emergency doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it entirely. one—not strictly within the meaning of the law. This is ventured out of friendship for the champion, based on the fact that the charge was an after thought, and hence may not prove to be what it is supposed to be. Johnson has made a bad move or so, and which has not strengthened opinion as to his innocence. I am not his attorney, hence will not be considered as giving his case away when I say this. It looked bad when he tried to nullify or invalidate the law in the Supreme Court of the United States. He was defeated in this preliminary, and if we take politics for it, it is not a good thing to be defeated in such contests. One will think that he is at least doubtful as to the outcome. Think as one will, no manner of assurance comes from that move. Beyond this, the move was at once unpopular, since very few will think well of a traffic in girls and women, carried on through the power of money. Sympathy cannot be extended to persons thus engaged, or who have been thus engaged. Johnson must rely on his ability to prove, that whatever his transactions, they were such as not to fall within the meaning of the law. As said before, I think he can do so, and because the charge was sprung, not because of the thing alleged, but because of a subsequent happening, he did not undo his standing, his liberty. Had he done so, Supreme Court there would not have been so much presumptive evidence, and he would not have had the thing of inferential guilt to disestablish. The Bible on the point says, that, the guilty fleeth when no man pursueth. Somewhat similar, at least, as it may be seen. Then, too, the champ bungled in that seeming attempt at getaway to Canada. He gave an explanation that was satisfactory to the judge, and most assuredly since he was again in custody, the thing cared most about. What is said here is not meant to prejudice his case which comes up shortly. The facts are given as a matter of information, the comment thrown in by way of elucidation if anyone cares to see it that way. Somehow we feel to be told that he will all shuffle up for a term of years in some prison house, basing the faith on the element of persecution that prompted the charge, thinking that in zeal for his undoing that the charge may not be well founded. FRENCH LICK PLUTOS WIN. A. B. C.'s Are Outclassed, Losing Con. Kenard of the French Lick Plutos was the big noise with the stick at Northwestern park last Sunday. He drove out three home runs and a single, while the A. B. C. pitchers looked on, dug great holes in the mound, but couldn't help themselves. The final score was 1 to 0 in favor of the Plutos. Beside the head coach, slugger the pill, the visitors' pitcher, Lynch, proved invincible. He struck out eight men and only allowed three hits. The Denison Cubs defeated the S. S. Athletics in a curtain raiser to this game, 3 to 0. The local club would like to hear from any teams who play weekday games. Score: A. B. C.

The fight fans are glad to see Snead back in the game, as he is local favorite. He will train sessions with Kid Schmitt, the white training officer of the South, under the careful supervision of Kid Phillips, the veteran of a hundred ring battles. He is confident of Snead's fighting ability as a lightweight, and with a little more experience will be able to hold his own with any man of his weight in the country. pionship match, which, in the opinion of boxing managers, would draw at least $30,000.

SACRAMENTO, Cal.—Prize fighting in California will receive either its death blow or added impetus with the reconsideration of the Brown anti-prize fight bill in the Senate here. On account of its drastic conditions, permitting four-round, non-decision bouts only, many believe it will never become a law. It failed of sufficient votes when up for first consideration. WOLGAST TURNS MANAGER SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Apparently satisfied that he has lost caste as a fighter, Ad Wolgast has hung out his shingle as a manager. The former champion is seeking engagements for Willie Hoppe, a local boxer, who, according to Ad, has the earmarks of a comer. NEW YORK BOXING BOARD UPHOLDS FRENCH RULINGS NEW YORK—Co-operation between French and New York state authori- tising controlling boxing was made效- effective in the case of George Gunther, the Philadelphia heavyweight, and T.

The State Boxing Commission upheld the action of the French Federa- tion of Boxing Clubs in suspending Gunther and Leary, the former for failing to fulfill a contract to fight and the latter for fouling. The suspension of each is for three months, dating from March 17 and March 8, respec- tively. The French commission sent word also that Billy Papke, middleweight, of Kewanee, Ill, had been suspended for the rest of the year for the willful foulting of Frank Klaus after repeated warnings of the referee. The state body did not ace in this case, because Papke already is under indefinite suspension here. SHAKESPEARE ON BASEBALL He knows the game—"Henry VI." O, hateful error—"Julius Caesar."

SWEEPING CHALLENGE BY FREDDIE WELSH English Champion Wants to Box With Cross, Britton, Rivers, Ritchie and McFarland. NEW YORK—Five American lightweights are named in a challenge issued by Freddie Welsh through his manager, Harry Pollak, the other day. The English champion, who has beaten the lightweight title holders of England, Australia and France and who got a twenty-round decision over Willie Ritchie, the present world's champion, before the latter defeated Adol Walgott, names his prospective opponents in this order. Dick Britton, Joe Rivers, Willie Ritchie and Packey McFarland. Welsh also is ready to include the winner of the Tommy Murphy-Ad Wolgast bout in San Francisco Saturday afternoon. It is a case of money with the British champion, as it is with all boxers. He has no feeling of empathy toward any of the boxers named, but he confidently believes that he can whip them all, which will justify his claim to the world's championship. Furthermore, Welsh is prepared to make 133 pounds ringside for all but McFarland, who can get a match at 135 pounds scaling at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. If possible, Welsh and his manager, want to box in New York, either at Madison Square Garden or at some other club. The Britisher thinks that he can polish off all of these prospective opponents in ten round bouts, after which he will give any or all of them return matches of twenty rounds in California if the promoters on the Coast will bid. Welsh defeated Cross on points several years ago when Leach wasn't an experienced lightweight. Cross has made rapid strides in the past year and Welsh believes a bant with the dentist will draw a big gate. After watching Jack Britton outpoint Matty Baldwin Tuesday night the Englishman urged his manager to go after Britton at once. As for Rivers, Pollock said that the Mexican manager had refused $5,000 to box Welsh here, saying a twenty round battle on the Coast. "Rivers is afraid," continued Welsh's manager. "If he will box my man ten rounds here we will agree to go to California and bet our share of a local bout on the result of a twenty round encounter. Rivers has pocketed nearly $10,000 for meeting Cross here, and he owes it to the New York sporting public to accept Welsh's challenge." Champion Ritchie has been dodging all challenges for many weeks because he is making easy money on the stage. But Welsh now offers to let him name the weight conditions and agrees to accept a reasonable guarantee or a percentage from the business next month. Welsh and Ritchie, if they should clash in a ten round bout here, would provide a real world's cham- plionship match, which, in the opinion of boxing managers, would draw at least $20,000. Ritchie's mentor, Billy Nolan, will find it difficult to sidestey Welsh's proposition unless he demands too much money. It is generally conceded that Welsh is McFarland's most capable rival. They have boxed three times, fifty-five rounds in all, and the question of summary, which remains in some doubt, McFarland got it in ten rounds several years ago, after which was a twenty-five round draw in Los Angeles and a twenty-round draw in London. If McFarland will do 155 pounds at 3 o'clock, which is his best weight, the Garden A. C. stands ready to clinch the match. BOSTON EXPERT DECLARES MARATHON RACE BENEFICIAL BOSTON—Marathon races are beneficial to young athletes rather than injurious, in the opinion of Dr. J. H. Cunningham, Jr., an expert examiner of the Boston Athletic Association, as given in the current issue of the association's official organ. Dr. Cunningham says that during the seventeen years he has had medical supervision of the contestants in the association's annual marathon he has not had a single case of even slight injurious effects resulting from the race. "The best physical condition is essential," said Dr. Cunningham. In fact, the conditions of the runners finishing this twenty-five-mile race is quite as good as usually seen in runners after a quarter, half or mile run. BLACK PUGILISTS CAN STILL FIGHT "Big Four" Have Been in Many Battles for Negro Supremacy. Johnson, Jeanette, McVey and Langford—Jack, Joe and two Sams—comprise a quartet of big black fighting men, any one of whom, in all probability, could lick the best of the present crop of "white hopes." The struggle for supremacy between the big blacks began in Los Angeles ten years ago, when Jack Johnson outpointed Sam McVey, the California culled man, in a twenty-round bout. Later in the same year Johnson again defeated McVey over the same route. In 1904 McVey was knocked out by Johnson. The year 1905 was a *busy* season for black Johnson and Jeanette fought three battles, Joe winning once on a foul, while Jack had the shade in the other battles. Jeanette also defeated Langford in eight rounds. Johnson Beats Jeanette. In 1906 Johnson beat Jeanneine in a fifteen-round affair in Baltimore, and a little later won over Langford. In the fall Jeanneine held Jack to a draw. Langford had the best of Jeanneine in fifteen rounds. Jeanneine and Langford and McVey fought draws in 1907. Jeanneine and Langford fought two drawn battles in 1908, and in that year Johnson won the title from Tommy Burns, and was since left the title by Jasper and comrade his attentions to Caucasians, which was a manifestation of wisdom on Jack's part. Go to France. During 1909 Jeanette and McVey fought three battles for the deletion of the French fans. The first was a victory for McVey and Sam repaired in the second, which went fifty rounds. The third bout of thirty rounds ended in a draw. In 1910 Langford defeated Jeanette in Boston. Langford defeated Jeanette twice in 1911, fought a twenty-round affair in Sidney, Australia. Last year McVey and Langford fought four bouts in Australia, Langford winning all of them. From this recital of the battles of the four big blacks, it is difficult to pick the best man. Many believe that McVey would have been Johnson's master if they had fought about the time of the Jeffries-Johnson battle, and others would have backed Langford and Jeanette against Johnson at the same time. McVey's fighting career is apparently over, and he has ceased to be useful even as a meal ticket for Sam Langford. Johnson is the oldest of the bunch, having been born in 1878, while Jeanette was born in 1881, McVey in 1885 and Langford in 1886. NEW PUNCHES IN RING GAME RARE Bob Edgren Says Fitzsimmons Used Occipital Blow Years Ago—Smith Successful With the Inside Uncut. With the inside Uncut, Which Leach Cross has Copied. (By Robert Edgren.) Its only once in a long while that a fighter invents a new punch. New stunts are limited. Even when some new champion or runner-up uncorks a novelty the veterans usually remember that the same blow was used effectively by somebody or other who flourished ten or fifteen years before. Gunboat Smith, with his "occipital" punch—or his "hospital punch," delivered at the joining of the neck and the back of the skull has a big bunch of imitators who think Gunboat invented something. But Bob Fitzsimmons used the same punch years ago. He loosed it on Gus Ruhlin and knocked Gus down so hard that the Akron Gus's nose stitches. Then Joel Jorgensen had a somewhat similar blow that he called the "back-lung punch." It was delivered between the shoulder blades. Fitz Versatile Hitter. Fitzsimmons was about as versatile a hitter as any ever seen in the ring. Bob thinks his hitting can still win. I had a letter from him saying that he'd like to fight this youngster, Gunboat Smith, and show the public how much better the Fitzsimmons style of biting was. Fitz, being only 50, feels frisky still. Jem Mace fought a dozen fights in the ring when he was over 60. Fitz became famous through landing the "solar plexus" punch on Jim Corbett, causing James to collapse like a pricked rubber balloon. But Fitz knew half a dozen punches as effective as the "solar plexus." In fact, the "solar plexus" punch was adopted by Fitzsimmons at Mike Donauon's suggestion, because it was much less dangerous than some of the other blows he used. Fitzsimmons traveled about knocking out all comers. He hit some on the jaw so hard that they didn't wake up until the next day—which interfered with schedules of the trains. So Mike cornered. Fitz and said: "See here. Bob you're going to kill somebody if you go on hitting 'em around the head. You haven't any idea how hard you can hit. You think its funny to knock a man out for six hours. Some day you'll be sorry. Hit them in the pit of the stomach and they'll go out just as easily, and you won't take any risk of trouble." Fitz tried out a few body punches and invented the shift that body punches and the solar blexus. The Inside Unpercut Up-to-date scrappers have turned out some clever stunts in the line of hitting. Tommy Murphy uses an inside uppercut, sliding his glove right up close to his own body in clinches and jumping up from his toes as the blow lands. Leach Cross copied that punch and used it on Mandot. "I knew it was gone from the way it jarred me," said Cross. "I practiced it. Mandot boxed rings around me, but in the close I got to him with Tommy's uppercut. He was putting 'al over me until I had the luck to catch him just right. The Murphy uppercut is going to help me out with Rivers, too." Mexican Joe Rivers uses a different stunt. Joe's specialty, helped out by great strength in the arms and shoulders, is a snappy short hook while breaking from a clinch. He knocked K. O. Brown down with this punch in Los Angeles, dazing him so badly that he was an easy victim for the following knockout. Leach Cross learned how it felt to run his jaw into this short right a few months ago. Rivers staggered him with it in the last round and Leachie did the serpentine for a few seconds. Packey McFarland has developed one of the cleverest hittings tricks of all. In every fight the spectators see Packey pawing out with the left now and then and tapping with the half open glove, withdrawing slowly. That's the beginning of the trick. Packey covers his opponent's eye for a second and shuts off the view. In the same instant Packey's right uppercut starts. And it lands. You can't dodge gloves in the dark. Cross a Candid Fighter. Leach Cross is the most candid fighter in the world. There's only one in Leachie's class, and that's Leachie. This is what Leach said after coming back from New Orleans, fresh from knocking out Joe Mandot. "Mandot made me look foolish. He was beating me right up to the time I landed the first knockdown. Say, he'd a 'had the decision sure. And Mandot had the grip, too. I know; his wife told me about it. Gee! I was a lucky guy!" And here's what Leachie says about his future: "I was lucky with Mandot. Now Rivers has just been married, and I'll catch him when he hasn't had his mind on training. And then if I beat him, I get Ritchie, and he's been boxing in theaters for six months. If my luck holds out I'll be a champion. I should worry!" KANSAS CITY, KANSAS: A Grand Chorus of One Hundred Good Voices. ONCE TRIED, ALWAYS USED. THE BAR-KEEPER'S "FRIEND" TRADE MARK FOR.

The club stands for higher education and encourages to the extent of being willing to help financially any boy or girl Indianapolis who tries for a college education. This being true it is only consistent that we indorse any Indianapolis college graduates who try for a college schools. All cities take care of their own graduates and then if there are vacancies in our city an extract from a letter written to Sylvester DuValle from the superintendent of the Louisville schools: "We have an excess of normal and college graduates among our own colored people and it is unlikely we shall be able to consider them. We are in colored ward schools or the high school of this city. In the event that we do consider them, then we shall be very glad to give your application careful consideration." Hasten the day when Indianapolis has an excess of normal and college graduates. We indore Sylvester DuValle's application. If you desire our boys and girls to have a better chance to fill vacancies in our school, you can apply to Superintendent Collect, 313 North Meridian street, asking that more colored graduates be admitted to the city normal WILLIAM HECHT FOR POLICE JUDGE.

Dr. A. N. Prince, of Sherman, grand chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of Texas, spoke to members of all the surgeons of Calanthus last Friday night at New Hope Baptist Church. The Grand chancellor was escorted to the church by the next of kin, Mr. J. G. Griffin of the First Segment of the Texas College, and introduced the speaker, who in words of praise due to the church, where a large audience was waiting, Sir James Overstreet, the doctor in Texas and its achievements and accomplishments in the various departments, each month to come and how the proposed temple could be built if every member of the church, given eleven months to come and how the their whole duty in a financial way that will soon aid in one of the greatest undertakings by the men and women of the church, will be a monument to Pythians of nation.
