"The great fortunes of men we meet day by day are not made from salaries, however much investment in business," said Samuel W. Rutherford, in stifling the keynote of a mass meeting a few evenings ago at the National Benefit Association, in promotion of the commitment under the auspices of the National Benefit Association, in promotion of the commitment of the District of Columbia, Mr. Rutherford, a native of Virginia, and confessedly one of the most experienced and successful general manager of the National Benefit Association, rated as the largest and the best-known insurance company in the world, president of the association is Dr. Robert W. Brown, a practicing physician, who has been a general manager cumulated a goodly portion of its world's goods. The other officers and members of the board of directors are: H. H. Kinsa, assistant secretary; M. B. Wood, treasurer; J. H. Braxton, M. E. Lowery, L. S. Flummer and C. W. Foster. The series of assemblies devoted to a stimulation of the commercial spirit of the market additional stock of the National Benefit Association for the purpose of enlarging the area of its activities in sales at the meeting amounted to $231.71. Prof. Miller Emphasizes Commercial Development. The principal speaker of the occasion was Prof. Kelly Miller, dean of the Academic diversity. In the course of his unusually able and scholarly address, Prof. Miller stated the quality in the general governmental affairs of the nation, because of conditions growing out of his past limitations and political oppression, the race for success and the paths to which he is allowed access at a minimum of friction. He referred to the Negro second only to the participation in government—in its influence upon the race in catering to the wants of this race, material, civic advancement. As a teacher, the Negro thus practically unmiserable, the command for self-helpment. Nevertheless, he thought that the greatest emphasis should be placed on time, the community, the moment of race. The weakest link in the Negro's chain of progress. Finance and trade are now accepted as the main means of people, and the Negro to occupy a commanding position in the scheme of modern civilization, must become a factor in the martial and business activities of the time. Rev. Walter H. Brooks, pastor of the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church, delivered the address of welcome to the organization on behalf of Mr. Brown. Brown felicitously responded. Hon. J. C. Napier, registrar of the treasury, spoke of "The Nesro as a National Business Association and admired the power to strive to be paymasters rather than employees, whenever and wherever possible. A choir, made up of the agents and attachés of the Nesro, sang to the direction of Mr. E, N. Breadnax, rendered folk-songs and hymns. How a Great Business Institution Was Built Up According to the illuminating address of Secretary Rutherford, the National Association of Teachers, for tenteen years ago, and had for its office a small back room at 699 F street, paying a rental of $6 per month and a yearly fee of $919, the nine members representing a business of $3,000. In 1912 by strictly business methods and systematics, the company's membership had advanced to 19,491, representing a total of $6,000,000 million dollars. Total collections run up to $6,000,000 in cash. Current receipts for last year amounted to $2,055,555, showing an increase in business of about 16 per cent, in a single year. The Nationwide entire building in which it started out as its humblest tenant, a modern structure located in the heart of the commercial district, $5,000. For the space not used by the offices of the company, a rental of $1,800 would be required, building three stories in height, values Public Library plan 13 The National Benefit Association is harmonious from top to bottom, and has its own mission. It also offers its officers and agents possess race pride to the last degree, and give evidence of being animated, not only by the spirit that exhorts them, but also by a broad humanitarianism that looks to the social and economic uplift of all our people. "Willow Tree Alley" Going "Willow-Truee Alley," one of Washington's most notorious slums, is rapidly disappearing. Last session of Congress appropriated $25,000 for the purpose of restoring the locality to it into an interior park and playgrounds. This alley, between Third and Fourth-street, has been one of the most closely populated sections of the city. The work in hand calls for the tearing down of the old buildings, the tenants, of which 171 were white and 256 colored. It is expected that other unsavory allays will be cleaned out in like manner, and able and sanitary houses and flats, of moderate size and low price, are being constructed on good streets and in the same colored and many colored families are moving into them.

Every lady can have a beautiful and luxuriant head of hair if she uses a MAGIC. After a shampoo or bath the Magic rises the hair, covers the dandruff, and it will straighten the curliest head of hair. The Magic will not burn or injure the hair, because the comb is never heated. The steel heating bar which irons the hair, is alone, puts to the flame of the alcohol or gas heater. The aluminum Comb is easily detached from the heating bar, then, after the bar is heated, the comb goes back into place and is held by a turn of the handle. The Magic Heater is also suitable for curling irons, has a cover and can be carried in a handbag. Fill with alcohol or light oil. Manufacturers and wholesale dealers in Hair Goods.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION ‘The Colonel admitted taking a little for his stomach's sake. It dy said that the council of Balti- ‘more is preparing for a new segrega- tion law, one that’s not too stiff to work like the former one. It is to be hoped that the fate of the first one will take the run out of a few of the members. Just enough of them to de- feat the proposed new measure. President Wilson has taken a firm stand against the lobbyists, many of whom are now in Washington for the object of impeding impending tariff legislation. He says there are good lobbyists and bad ones. Most of those in Washington at this time, he says, are in the interest of special concerns which hope to thrive off of the people. Prof. W. B. DuBois has) not had such plain sailing out West, A few papers had some ugly things to say of him, Said he was surly and ungrate- ful ‘after effort had been made to make his visit pleasant, Maybe the “campaigning” in Booker T. Wash- ington’s wake had something to do with this, Some Httle partisanship, don't you know, Colored applicants for diplomatic posts doubtless are a bit disturbed by the report that President Wilson did not intend to appoint anyone to a posi- tion of the kind who was an active applicant. We think. it a baseless rumor. The President will not intro: duce “violent” methods in his admin: istration, However, if the rumor is true the fellows who have shied cas- tors in the ring will think of their ef forts as “love's” labor lost. ‘A member of the common counetl of Philadelphia recently introduced @ res- olution in that body to the end that $5,000 be appropriated for the enter- tainment of the National Negro Busl- ness League, which meets in that eity August 21, 22 and 23. ‘The bill was passed and signed by the mayor. Doubtless Booker T., Washington and other prime movers in the organiza- tion are very thankful for the gener- ‘ous offering. It says very much for the white people of that city and of that state. It will be remembered that the legislature appropriated $20,000 for the use of the colored people in promoting their exposition, which is to be held in celebration of the fifty years of freedom and the maneipa- tion Proclamation. Pennsylvania ts al! right, GOVERNMENT DEPENDS ON COOKS. it is being said that the new regime at Washington has made effort to have the government clerks at thelr desks at 8 o'clock. ‘The colored cooks, who control the kitchens in that city of Sonthern inclination, absolutely _re- fused to serve breakfast at 7 o'clock in the morning because they were not used to such an unearthly hour. The Boston'Transcript says: “Threats of discharge as a measure of discipline have no terrors, for idle- ness is as normal as industry, More- over, probably 90 per cent of the col- cored domestics of Washington live in their own homes and go to and from their work morning and night. Some ‘of them live just around the corner from where they are employed and others miles away. ‘They will come at whatever hour they please and they please to come in time to get break- fast ready at 8 o'clock. ‘They will quit when they please at night, most. of them whether their work is. finished or not. This is not true of all, of course, for the ‘jewel of a girl’ among Washington domestics 18 to be found in the ratio of 1 to 10,000, but it ap- piles asa general proposition.” ELECTION PROBE SCARE. Senator Kern's effort to foree an in- vestigation of mining conditions in West Virginia has stirred up consid: erable talk about the Southern po- “litical situation. Tt has been safd that if the senate of the United States has authority to investigate as to whether or not citizens of West Virginia are be- ing deprived of their just and legal rights t would have equal authority Yosert its inguisitory arm into Missis. sipp!, South Carolina and other South- ‘orn states to ascertain. whether or not the black man is accorded the rights and privileges that are guaranteed to him under the Constitution of the Tnited states, ‘The bare idea that in dealing with the West Virginia situation the senate may. establish a precedent which might Jead to an investigation of citizens in the South, where the “Grand Daddy ¢lauses” and other hoctis-pocus legis lation operates to bring about the dis. franchisement of blocks of colored Yoters is enough to frighten the South: opm Democratic statesmen and thes considerably worked up by it. They don’t want the senate to commit itsel to such, precedents as might lead to an investigation of election frauds in the South and that is exactly what the West Virginia resolution seems to do, That the, talk Ie interesting ls mich a8 cai be said of it, Of course it reveals the fact that the Negroes itave a cause in the Southern states, « fact which has never been denied. The right of federal authorities to inves tigate election methods wherein fed. eral officials are concerned has never ween denied. The only fear, if it can be called fear, is that the Kern reso lution might ‘be considered a prece dent, making it possible to put the Democrats in a hole in event an in vestigation was demanded. ‘The result of such an investigation, we take the liberty to say, would be known from the beginning. In fact the Negroes do not care to be the sub ject of acrimonious debate which prom ises nothing’ in the end. SUPREME CHANCELLOR COM- MANDER GREENE OF K. OF P. REPORTED LYNCHED Report has it that Supreme Chancel- lor Commander of the Knights of Pythias Greene was taken from a Pull- man coach and lynched near Milton, Fla. At this time the information has not been confirmed. We do not wish to believe that such an awful thing has happened to Mr. Greene. If it is true he has paid a fearful “penalty” for bucking the hard and fast “Jim Crow” laws of that section. He did a foolhardy thing, not because he ex- ceeded his rights conceded him as a citizen of the country, but because he exceeded a law of his state and that still more difficult thing to beat—pub- lic sentiment. ‘This is not the time, nor perhaps the place to stand for proscripture measures, yet we cannot get away from the fact that they ex- fst, and that they are most rigidly en- forced. Mr. Greene meant well in his effort to be an entering wedge for prying open the door to better things for his race. If what is reported is true he fs fn some sense a martyr, as fool- hardy as his act was. Then, again, Mr. Greene knew that our race as a whole is not prepared to enjoy first- class accommodations. He was an ex. ception, just as tens of thousands more are exceptions. But the great mass still remains. We cannot, should not lose sight of that fact as distressing as it may be to those of us who are prepared. But regardless of all this, lynching is not a fate for any man who would ride elsewhere than in a “Jim Crow” coach, We do not think that the bet- ter class of white people of the South think so. If the report is true, it will not argue for the better relations of the races as we have always hoped for: We, however, are Willing to thing the deed committed by irresponsible hot: heads, and that the deed will be swift. ly condemned. It is about the only consolation to be drawn, unless that community takes the matter in hand and hounds the perpetrators, down—a ‘Very uneustomary thing to do. AT KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL.

LaBelle Cora in her dancing dental novel was quite an attraction. George Grace Sisters again held their own, going big. Crescent Theater. Franklin Theater.

Aggie Tansel as a pet daughter showed much sympathy for the auctioneer, Miss Carrie Houze played the part of the mistreated daughter which brought much sympathy from the auctioneer. Miss Carrie Houze played the song, "They Always Pick on Me." Mance McDaniel as the old hag proved himself with real work. Bert Houze as a tramp hero proved himself of real ability in the protection of the girl in the den from the characters as the assistant of the tramp hero was good. Julian Coin and Jack Pueilla as the den ruffians displayed real ability in their respective parts. The audience as a whole was appreciated by the audience. The Airdome orchestra is composed of Messrs. Eugene Landrue, pianist, and Michael Porter, conductor, deserve much credit for the way they handle the music, as they had some very nice pieces, and the Porter Porter stages no sleeping choruses. The Airdome staff consists of some of the most prominent musicians in the men; saxophonist Simo McHler, Alfred Beryard and Mr. Charles Collier, manager and deserves much credit for the way he handles the business end of this program.

Tim E. Owsley, Proprietor The Crown Garden theater has a good line of attractions this week. Some superstars are doing in the best of scouring the country in the interest of good shows. He will be in town to maintain its reputation as the house of good shows. He was off for Chicago this week where he booked a bunch of good ones. He will be doing something like a successful propeller and manager. Billy Cumby. Byrd, Brown and Byrd. This trio gives quite a variety of show, and entertaining. Miss Byrd is a very good singer, and she does a dill line of talk, making the scene with the comedian, Byrd, a good one. She has a good voice, doing the song, and I want My Byrd to be the best singer in the ranks of the good ones seen at the Crown Garden. She is of good stage appearance, and she sings the "Tartage Violin." He is a good comedian, who gets off some good jokes, some of them are new, others were worked on. She sings the "Miss Byrd were well received. His "Beautiful Doll" parody was a hit, being rented in the house. He rang in some well-known individuals when singing. This added to the humor. The other member, Miss Brown, sings the "Choo." She also joins the dancing at the close, when the trio do some very clever steps. The trio sings "In Dixie Land" and "The Greatest Neat appearing and are well dressed. The work was well received throughout. Wallace and Greene. The Crown Garden patrons were pleased to see Miss Wallace back again, and she took on herself as a duo of merit, one of her best qualities. She chose, however, to cut out her former style of dancing, doing a more elegant dance, and to wear Miss Wallace has a pretty little girl for a partner, Miss Greene, who is showing up for the new work equally as Miss Wallace. Both are well-known making perhaps the finest appearing team ever seen on the Crown stage. Both befriend women, one can imagine how swell they are. Miss Wallace sings in a pretty style, "You Certainly Look Good to Me." She is a beautiful woman, and to their hearts when she sings "Easy Rider." Their "In My Harem" is beautiful, one, the singing, and the dancing. Their Turkish costumes in this scene, making them delights to the eye. The act is new, novel, and proves a success as the auctioneer, and it is actually the best. It will be appreciated in any house. The Pekin—The New Theatre. The Pekin Theater opened Monday night under very favorable conditions, with good weather and a very attractive bill. The audience brought the turn around. Miss Lloyd Shepherd, after resting up for a while, opened the show with two beautiful new songs, and the audience least suggestive. The Kinkle Doo Trio, consisting of Misses Cooper, Weilks and Smith, were the closing number, and they were just as entertaining. Girls are always a big hit here, where they have played for several seasons and they return just often enough to be a regular part of the show on this week has been seen here before with the exception of several new songs. Notes. Miss Bessie Hocker has returned to the Pekin as the matinee idol, after a week of work. The opening of the New Theater, at Fifth and John streets, seems to be indefinite, owing to a general strike of the building trades. The owner, the popular assistant manager of the Pekin, is no longer connected with the Fifth street playhouse. Mr. Russell Smith, formerly of the Pekin orchestra, sends word to his friends that he is very much pleased with the work of the Williams, with which he is now engaged. NEW ORLEANS (LA.)

OWSLEY Begun as a Minstrel at $4 Per Week—Now Proprietor of a Prosperous Theatrical Venture — The New Crown Garden Theater, Indianapolis, a Success Under His Management and Ownership. The history of the struggles and rise of men is always interesting. This has in mind the limitations that bound ordinary men. The great captains of industry, of finance, of commerce, of art and of standing in the clear above the millions of their kind, and who seem equally as well endowed with face and touch them, rub up against them, talk and eat with them, but for all that, we yet know they have that power to long all men. They stand alongside of us, yet the difference is often as that between the earth and the sun if one may It is not given all men to do things that stand out enlightenly. One will think that a man who has been done or nearly done. The great inventions have about reached their limit. Nevertheless, a struggle to rise on the shoulders of a man is not even, if not greater. Men are struggling to succeed in their mercantile pursuits, in their manufacturing pursuits, in their art and craft. The tens of thousands are faintning and falling by the wayside, while the few reach the goal of their ambition. Some years ago an artist, sketching a pile of human skulls and port, sketched a pile of human skulls and Tim E. Owley was born October 4, 1886, in Glassport, Ky. He was the oldest of three brothers, and an ames Owley, was a Methodist minister, rose to some distinction in his church, becoming a presiding elder. He was a man of great intellect and ambition with which his son Tim is marked. He struggled for the front of the affairs in which he was engaged. As a pastor in the church, he met the U. B. F.'s, travelled with the well-known Moses Dickson, of St. Louis, established a country. Tim learned of his father in the church, his environment, and had not been a showman he would have been. He was a man of great ambition, began his career in Rev. Owley's church, helping to entertain by way of concerts, thus helping him to build church houses in the country. This was evidenced of his effort to get on in the world. He is also something of a patriot. When the call sounded, he played the fiddle troops when responding to the call Lincoln incoming, Massa Abraham. He enlisted in the Eighth Illinois regiment, going to New York to return he entered the show business. Massa Abraham. Owlsley's first partner as a showman was comedian. They rugged it as so many beasts the old days did, playing beer gardens, barns and so forth. Their career was marked by a series of ill-defined III: Terre Haund, Ind., and other cities in that vicinity. He appeared next in in Armenia's one-Ring circus, as a clown, and make-up artist. He engaged with Reed McCarrier and Reed in their "Honolulu Coon," doing a mono and making music, and an all-around man he was also an understudy for Howard McCarrier. When with it, he wrote his first song, "When Band Wand Bands Band Wand," which was published under the name of Howard McCarrier, by Leo Faist. The man he, however, was not resourceless. He wrote several other songs which were in 1901. Owlsley joined Meharry's Minstrels, starting at $8 per week. He played in the band, also doing comedian on the stage, and managing a made stage manager, then producer. As a producer he wrote "Because I Am Lonesome," sung with success by Bessie Lea Minstrel. He sung by himself with great success, and which made him a favorite. With this song part of the United States and especially the West and South, where he became a prime favorite. He closed with Meharry cappo, ill, for the late it. Motts, as amuse- TIM E. OWSLEY. ment director; relied at the end of the summer; joined R. Vogel's Black Patent star. He played the leading part until the company reached Seattle, Wash., when, owing to disagreement with the management, he then took work on the Plantages circuit for a tour of twenty-two weeks, with the show business. He closed this engagement in Los Angeles, Cal., at which he practically retired from the professi During his retirement he was engaged by the New York Dramatic Agency in the production of *Indianapolis*, from where he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Pekin theater of that city for W. J. Stiles, as producer and comedian, and the rehearsed short tabloid stock acts. At the end of this engagement he came to Indianapolis, from where he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Pekin theater of that city for W. J.

He then went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Maceo theater for Hubert, an engagement of eight weeks, after which he went to Savannah, Georgia, to play the opening of the Bailey, Closing here, he joined hands with Henry Bowman, the team name being Owlsley and Bowman.

After the last named engagement, the team dissolved partnership. Tim came to the management manipolls, the Crown Garden theater, owned by Roland S. Geyer. He took charge of the production in 1912. Geyer and Thompson became owners of this house. Owlsley still maintained the management. October 14 of the year, he formed a partnership, purchased the theater under the firm name Knox and Owlsley. The Crown became the first theater in Indianapolis owned and operated by Owlsley. Later on in the season, Owlsley purchased Knox's interest, thus becoming sole proprietor, reaching the ambition of his known ability and courage he would be heading some of the great houses of this country or at the heart of it. He is modest, unassuming, but thoroughly acquainted with his job. He is anxious to build up his profession, give him experience, and performers know. He has allied himself with Chas. H. Turpin, a theatrical manager of St. Louis, has been able to do very much for the performers. His ingenuity has told all through his managerial work. He is called the manager, owing to his ability to things done. Mr. Owlesy has become a good citizen of Indianapolis. He has identified himself with good moves to Miss Helen Shores, a school girl, marrying about two years ago. They now have a pretty baby girl of five years old, the proprietor of the Crown, Mr. Owlesy is greatly respected. He is earnest, honest and sincere, the best assets of a business man. He is already improving in its patronage, which is dependable. He spends much of his time searching for attractions that will please his patrons. This is well known and appreciated. His success is assured. W. L. MARRRIAGES IN THE PROFESSION J. A. English, the well known hoop roller of the team of English and Queen Street, of Montgomery.

Japon Foster was asked what he thought of the A. B. C. s. He said they were weak, notwithstanding the that they down, "Not a bit of it," he said. "It is up to the Giants to win all the games they can," he mourned the merrier. He sighed a great everybody thought so. The A. B. C did some nice ball playing. They looked little, but keen. Some of the boys were better than the big fellows after they saw that they had a fighting chance with the much advertised "invincible" fight at A. B. C. Louys dropped a nice one at first after Todd had stumbled over the ball. From that time on the dives were less frequent at the close we were playing with the big fellows. Their fielding was splendid; the best opportunity was to that swung high and clear in the air. Nothing was lost since registration. It was simply a few seconds. There is not very much difference between the playing of the two chants at the masters at any stage of the game. I do not mean to attempt to cheapen the Glants, just boosting the A. B. C. for the best of Negro teams in the land, but the A. B. C's are right in their class. Petway's shot down on to third after losing a little time getting the ball. The man and the ball were at third just about the same time as it was according to the sat- isfaction given the crowd. Lindsay pitched beautifully. He got wild in the ear, bragged, the tight hining, a thing which cost him the two runs, the only two made during the game. knocking out Brown in the fifteenth round. Those who saw Anderson in accomodation praised the tight hitting power in their practices, a hit hitting power some of them are already proclaiming after insistence on the chief it was complied with is going the rounds that loved a visit of Mr. A. B. C.'s WENT DOWN—LOUIS VILLE CUBS DID IT. Home Team Went to Pieces in the Eighth. Couldn't tell who was who at the Northwestern baseball park last Sunday. In addition, the latters city is itself by the way of the colored people. So when the two clubs were in the same city, there was a difference in the roofing. If anything the Kentucky town had the advantage. The men especially were for Louisville; the women were for their present locality. They went down with C's to defeat and shame. The C's were the favorites, but the Indianapolis team was making the most favorable headway until the eighth, when it went to Cincinnati. They thought that Bartlett grew weak, which was quite natural after having pitched the first game of the Chicago American Giants, and then the following day, when the same dreadful pitch again. C's to 14. The next pitch again. C's to 14. much for the little fellow, who only weighs 148 pounds. But he did splendid work to give it to him. The two clubs were evenly matched as to size and weight. Perhaps there is not much difference between the aggregate. They are differently keen. Sleuthful, chasing the ball like a cat chases a mouse. In a series of five games the chances are that the A. C. would win it, but it is a hapless guess, it tI might turn out the other way. The features of the games were two hits. One of Davis and the Cubs, the other A. C. was the "Quack" of the A. B. C. s. Manager Abrams pulled out a long green dollar bill and presented it to Mr. Quack for his bounty.

KNOCKOUT BOXERS USUALLY BIG FAVORITES WITH FANS. CHICAGO.—The favorite son of pugilism is the boy with the knockout clout, that sends an opponent into dreamland and brings to a sudden termination the finishing "kick" have been in the minority for a long time, but there is evidence of late that th ewheel has been revolute and coming around once more to the surface. "Knockout fighters." The "Knockout fighters" are none who would prefer to see a contest decided in any other way than the knockout. The knockout would know the point on the "point" is far less harmful than the average amount of punishment taken by fighters a bout between boys who lack in science not know how to properly protect themselves. Take the clever boxer and the strong youngster who prides himself on his gameness and put them into the ring. Take the clever boxer who lacks time out of ten the "game" bird comes out of the ring nearly beaten to a pulp and gazing through a countenance cov Many a promising youngster has met a sudden finish in the box game beamed up by the sport like that kind of gameness. The sport waged on even terms and the result determined by the clout on the chin, which leaves no doubt as to which man the honors of the struggle came to. The sport was a general term since we have had a crop of fighting men that possessed a fair percentage of real hitters. There hasn't been a big bolt on the big cat, a Kid McCoy among the big catworms; a big small cat since the public has been accorded the privilege of watching such performers as Terry McGovern, Young Corbett or. There was not one of the above mentioned scappers who did not carry the ball. The record is conclusive evidence that their main stock in trade often was brought into use. A tommy Rickey was narrowed for the simple reason that the field of pugilistic activity has been limited by the hostility of state legislators. In the game some select hitters who resemble the class of other years, which seems to indicate that the boxers with the knockout clout are There are three boys who are shinning examples of the hitting class. One of them is a boy who hit the ball but the other two have come suddenly into the limelight because they are possessors of the sleep product. A fellow, Joe Rivers, the little Spanish-American who is campaigning in the East, was the knockout. Joe Rivers has several knockouts in his record, but his most brilliant display when he put Knockout Brown, of New York, away in the tenth round of a scheduled twenty-round battle. The Knockout Brown was the saff and is considered one of the most rugged battles that ever stepped into a box. He handed punch to the jaw the New Yorker went down and out. That was the first punch that ever knocked out Brown, and the suffice that there was real stare behind it. Following on the heels of Rivers there has come a boy who hits the ball from Vancouver. "Bud" slipped down the Pacific coast to Los Angeles at the invitation of Uncle Good, who he balls from Vancouver. Good he might be. McCarey hasn't been long in finding out, for Anderson has turned out, for Anderson has started in a rebound short stretch. The Vancouverite first of all showed that he knew how to hit. So McCarya had to play the ball with real stiff test by stacking him up against the same "knockout" Brown. The New Yorker said the ball was a little more kale and incidentally the chance offered to go back home with something besides the knockout was a little more far the Warner. The match was a bad one for Brown, but it just suited Anderson, for it gave Bud the chance to play the ball and proceed to do so by knocking out Brown in the fifteenth round. Those who saw Anderson in action against the New Yorker are loud in support of him, and some of them are already proclaiming hi ma coming champion in the lightweight division. But the least of the trio of hitters is an eighteen-year-old kid, who promises to march straight to the world’s championship in his class. He is a former New Yorker and he halls from Racine, Wis. His real name is Mathew Paulson, but his manager’s name is McCue, so Matty adopted the nickname. Outside of his own ballpark McCue is not well known. He hasn’t been in the game much more than a year, and all of his bouts have been with wauwaukee. The Ask anybody Chicago—for the fans are forced to go to the Wisconsin towns to satisfy their fighting appetites—what they think of him is that he tells you that he is the greatest ever. In a little more than two months' time McCue has fought eight battles, and in all of them without having as much as one on the left out. In fact, he has left the ring after each of them without having as much as one on the left out. He has kept the sleep dose with the left hand just well as he can with the right, but he has not kept the right for the simple reason that he uses the left to straighten up his opponent's head while he lets go with the right. He has also kept the right efficient in each of his last eight fights. The Racine kid is not a swinger. He has the racy kid well covered up, but either the kid is also known pretty well how to take care of himself. He goes into the mixups well covered up, but he doesn't know when ready to hit. McCue is sighting at 124 pounds, but as he is only a young-age man, he may have something to keep the lightweights at night pretty soon. HOW HORSE RACES ARE RUN IN FAR AWAY AUSTRALIA. Betting is conducted by bookmakers either for cash or on credit, for which they are charged an annual fee.

That it satisfies the public is evidenced by the support accorded it. It is satisfactory to owners of horses. The owners of the carriers are ordinary occurrences on the Australian turf.

It is being said that the chief of the Bureau of Engraving at Washington has requested the colored women employees to sit at tables provided especially for them in the lunch room. Formerly, it appears that the women sat wherever there was a vacancy. The order was at first disobeyed, but after insistence on the part of the chief it was complied with. The story is going the rounds that the order followed a visit of Mrs. Woodrow Wilson, the inference being that she was not pleased with the custom of sitting together. However, no such intimation has been given out from the White House. It is also said that the President indorses the move. The information is not at all cheering, since it is reasonable to think that the President knows about the request of the chief of the department. It is a small matter, one will say, and true enough in view of what obtains generally throughout the country. That the government should be in the business is where the hurt is, and not because the thing is new. The colored race has been asked to sit aside so long that it is rather the expected. The government has been indifferent to the thing of social equality, insisting on seeing one individual as it sees another. It has stoutly refused to be small, but it must be admitted that at times it was forced to acknowledge such a thing as race and color prejudice. The government is no more than a reflex of the people, so what is done generally by the people will more than likely become a part of the government. We have a way of looking on the government as a sort of corrective agency, and to some extent it is that way. If the races, the whites and blacks, were not so wide apart, it would appear more so, and for the best, since there must reside some where somewhat of the spirit of reproof, even in republics, where the people rule. This spirit of reproof has never been equal to the emergency; it has never been able, in our case—that of our racial relations—to hold the situation down to the government alent as manifested through the laws. It is quite as much our business to know and to discuss the underlying causes of the prejudice and discrimination as it is to make effort to drive them away. We should understand that if the home and church stand aloof socially, that the government will fall at trying to be better. We may try to think of it as standing apart, as we said before, corrective in its influence, but it is not so to any great extent. Nor should it be, regardless of our very trying position, if it is to answer correctly the republican idea. We do not think the government should acknowledge racial conditions such as we know, unless compelled to do so. It should not be initiative. Our respect is not lessened when it gives way before overwhelming sentiment; it is also a part of the sentiment, since the individual in office is no more or less in his inclinations and desires than he is when at home. But as an official he should stand as firmly for the spirit of the laws and their letter as it is possible for him to stand. Now, then, if the color question is in abeyance at Washington, in the Bureau of Engraving, or elsewhere, it is very wrong to make it manifest through official activity. A race would be less than human if it, when hunted up and hounded down, did not show some spirit of resentment; and yet this spirit, engendered by meanness on the part of others, is often set down as impudence. If the case is correctly reported, the Washington official has gone out of his way to stir up racial feelings that could just as well have slept on. SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—William T.

(By Noble Sissle.) Mr. Preston Taylor, the wealthy gentleman from the Volunteer state, was a member of the Christian church last Friday night. The affair was given under the direction of the Rev. James Shawley, given by the Shawles, a quartette of young men, Noble Slase - and Wallace Hennick, John Montgomery, bassos, and Mrs. A. H. Hendricks, accompanist. Mr. Slase gave a short talk, and Ms. Hennick surprised everyone by the rendering of a planoque. Mr. Taylor gave a short talk, and Ms. Hennick gave a public. After the program an informal reception was held and delicate refreshments were served. Mr. Taylor, while in public, was guest of Mr. and Mrs. Hillard Gilliam. “Anne of Old Salem” a great Success “Anne of Old Salem,” the colonial play which was given at Bethlehem church in 1715, is a short time ago, was a grand success. There was an audience of about four hundred people and a great performance of the club. The play was hard one to render because of the strenuous work required of some of the characters, and the heavy for a first attempt, but the strong cast of characters got away without any severe criticism from the very critical audience. It must have been better for their success it may be said that the club has received three more engagement classes from the same audience it must have earned. There being two dramatic clubs now in existence, the enthusiasm is running high and seemed to enjoy the entertainment hugely. With such a friendly variety good ought to be done in regard to the standard of public entertainment in this city. The Players to Give Their Initial Performance. Tuberculosis Tag Day.
