Jordan Musselman, minister, schoolmaster, and emperor. Sweet is the memory of a man who accomplishes things. Dr. Chavis established a church while in Jordan and when he left the island, the church was in a most prosperous condition. What greater honor could come to a man than being a man, a man who worked to Christianize man propagate the idea of the fatherhood of God and the man, given him a devout and honored man among the closest spirits of mankind. Jackson Gordon, one of Chicago's finest architects, gave him the Silent Halls of Death and there are hundreds of others who have joined the immortal caravan which moves to that city. There are hundreds of many of the Civil and Spanish war veterans are resting here. Peace to their Our Soldiers: We are proud of the valor and fidelity of the Negro soldier. Long before the Battle of Concord he played his part well. He struck the first blow and shed the first blood for American liberty, thus vindicating his sclaim for the fullest and broadest American citizenship. During the Civil War we need only to mention Ft. Wagner, Gettysburg, Ft. Pillow and Appomattox to forever silence those who doubt the bravery and heroism of the Negro soldier. We abuse here to recite a sample of his bravery. At Ft. Wagner, amid a stor m of shot and shell, the ensign bearers of the black regiment was laid in the dust amid the folds of Old Glory; Sergeant Carney leaped to the front into the veritable faws of death and held aloof the American emblem of liberty, the old red, white and blue, shouting: "Boys, the old flag, and the old The Eighth at Cuba. The history of the Spanish-American War is fresh in the memory of each. We are strong said, 'Send me, send me!' The brave Tent cavalry was on the riffle with Our own Sergeant Berry was there with men. 'Dress to the colors, state of Illinois responded, but were united do garrison duty. The gallant Eighth Division only colored National Guard in the world, said; 'Send me, send me!' Their stands as a monument that rises into the heavens and there is a brood of the have faith, and make it possible for us to enjoy peace and prosper. We mourn today with the widows of the heroic dead. We shall strew flowers in memory of our loved ones on the graves monuments and there. Death is no cruel monster and there. Death is no cruel monster and there. The lowly Nazarenus that you make peace with Him, we pass from a life of sorrow to one of eternal joy and happiness. The Future. Let us hope that the vocation of the soldier and the opportunity of military service will rapidly disappear with the extension and progress of civilization, the development of the nation, and the distinguished service of peace. The torch of liberty and progress handed by the military chiefsfains of the past must be taken into account in the stern realities of industrial and civic pursuits. From the regal brow of war, the crown is soon to be smatched forever, to the great empires of the ages of citizens of peace. Let us seize the opportunities of the present, that the future may confer its just reward upon those who in turn must take up the glorious task, and we shall be called upon to lay it down." "The muffled drums and call has beat the No more on life's parade shall meet that No more on life's parade shall meet that On fame's eternal camping ground, their silent tents are spread, Old Glory guards with solemn round the square.

Zion Ministers Assigned—Underdown Heads District Negro Democracy. By Thompson's National News Bureau, WASHINGTON, D. C., June 4.—At a Berean Baptist church, Miss Marie C. James, a favorite prima donna of highest quality and added new laurels to her already richly-laden brow. Miss James has been heard often in star con- trees and has appeared in her reeer has she appeared to such marked advantage as upon this occasion. The large and brilliant nuance was in accoe- dence and that she thoroughly felt the inspira- tion of her work, dedicated by the intensel dramatic fire which she put into her music and the ease with which she entered into the masterpieces she so capably presented. Miss James is placed by the most competen- tial critics in the front rank of Afro- american music, and she has a warm, rich voice of wide range and rare contralto quality, she has en- situated herself as a satisfactory study. All of her entries into the at Berean church and scored for her the signal success she has striven to Miss James' fine mezzo timbre and versatility were admirably shown in the wide range of the program, which ran the gamut from Schubert's dramatic "Erl-hundert" and the "Rassembelung" of the "Margaret at the Spinning Wheel," to the outburst of joy in Del Riego's "Happy Song," each selection being rendered with adequate expression and an interpretation particularly effective in the difficult "Lul-liay" from Godard's opera, "Jocelyn," with violin obligato by Mr. Felix Fowler Weir, the violin blending harmoniously with the baldricade, and the sympathetic grasp of the mother love that the situation demands. She was repeatedly encored and at the conclusion of the "Lullaby," she was presented with a massive bouquet of American Beauty reels. Other selections which caught the fancy of the appreciative audience were "Autumn Gale," by Gries; "My Heart at The Staircase," by Gries; "A New Glow," by Wanderer; "By Schubert," As an accompanist, Miss Jennie Williamson is entitled to a large need of praise. She rose to the exacting requirements of every kind of韵律, and, as a very fine support to the singer, Mr. Weir's violin solos fully sustained his enviable reputation as a finished artist, and Miss Clarice Jones at the piano rounded out a program which, for general excellence and admiration, is the most excellent and most beautiful in this musical center in many moons. The success of Miss James' initial song recital is particularly gratifying to her host of friends because of the frequency of the rehearsal and the support for a number of years to the calls of churches, schools and movements for the betterment of humanity, and the many helpful services she has rendered to the people of the nation. In addition, at a serious personal sacrifice Miss James is a graduate of the Washington College of Music, one of the very few colleges in the country of being the only member of the colored race to finish the arduous course of instruction given there. She has done much to improve the quality of music in Boston and New York, having specialized at Columbia University in the nation's metropolis. She has long been a member of the Boston band and is acknowledged to be one of the most efficient members of the fine corps boasted of in this hull of culture. Miss James has directed an educational direction of "The Beranites," a social organization connected with the Beran Baptist church, and so please are invited to have a successful that make a Jamaican Recital" an annual event.

Too Much to Expect. Amid philosophies that try, With dreamy colors loves fraught, Perhaps it might be well to try A simple, unpretentious thought, So here a line for joyous youth we, as mankind's toilete prince, Remember, this truly prince, You can't be lucky all the time. The wheels of fate as they go round Must turn for loss as well as gain. Some blame as well as praise must sound And great reforms prove of in vain. And so, when wearying in the strife, We brave and play the game of life; You can't be lucky all the time. And the plot thickens This is a day of strikes. Are the "times out of joint?" As yet no Negro artist has adopted the "cubist" fad. Mme. Anita Patti Brown is easily America's greatest coloratura soprano. The entire race suffers when its great men fall out and fight over trivialities. The managers of the semi-centennial exposition have confounded their enemies. The newspaper man would pay his bills if you would pay him the bill you owe him. The National Negro Press Association will have a big meeting at Philadelphia in August. We generally suspect our "arch enemy" of being responsible for all untoward happenings. Kelly Miller would make Fisk Uni- versity a mighty fine president. Why not give him a trial? "Color-line diplomacy is even more difficult to manage than dollar diplomacy," says the Washington Star. Dr. Booker T. Washington is saying a little about a great many things he is thinking about. Just wait! The commencement season is on. The graduates, who have the goods will be able to cash them in—that is, we hope. The Knights and Lads of Malachites of the World is a new order that threatens to revolutionize things in the fraternal arena. Dr. Booker T. Washington is to deliver Fisk University's commencement oration. June 11 will be the worthy of the man and the occasion. There is a general agreement that President Obama would make an ideal minister to Liberia. There is no "politics" in saying so. Harry T. Burleigh "secured" as a soloist at the funeral of J. Fierpont Morgan. The race took a step forward in the world of music. The fourteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia, August 20, 21 and 22 will be recorded. The influential Negroes in every community should lend their aid to the propaganda to have Negro spelled in the white dallies with a capital "N." Major R. R. Jackson, of Illinois, wins his seat in the state legislature on a ballot. He is the race's most substantial members and all rejoice in his well-earned success. Managing Editor F. Z. S. Peregrino has our sincere thanks for a copy of the South African Spectator, a sprightly newspaper published in the interest of the Negro people at Cape Town, South Africa. Register Napier is "after" the mat who was elected to the position who insisted upon being paid to perform what ought to be a patriotic duty. Mr. Napier is always right and never hesitates to tell the plain truth when the good of the race is taken. The Y. M. A. movement shows a beautiful growth everywhere, Washington, Chicago and Indianapolis have $100,000 homes. Others are striving to reach the same mark, thanks to the generosity of Mr. Julius Rosenwald, Chicago's merchant-pilgrim hospice. Senator John O. Clarke of California, and William Z. Chandler of New Hampshire, declare that the Fifteenth Amendment should be enforced to the letter. Law is law, and the full power of the Constitution should bring to bear in demonstrating that a statute means what it says. The receipt of "The National Negro Almanac and Year Book for 1913-14," published by the Overseas Yankees, Chicago, IL, is acknowledged with thanks. It contains many facts of general and racial interest, as well as a comprehensively written account of the work of the company that issues it. Mr. Anthony Overton, president of the company, delivered one of the most interesting presentations of the National Negro Business League August. The National Benefit Association at Washington, D. C., operating in six states, owning property valued at $290,000, acquiring a building, and doing a fine-appointed work for the public uplift of the race. It began business fourteen years ago in a $6 per month back room. The association now owns a building, seven fine-appointed rooms, and is valued at $25,000. After using much of the assets, the association expects $1,800 per annum from its tenants. Isn't that "going some?" GLIMPSES OF SANTE FE, ISLE OF PINES, CUBA. A philanthropic Chicagoan recently said to the writer: "My wife and I, observing the harmonious conditions exerted by people in Cuba and sorrowfully noting that the colored man is losing out, industrially, in the United States, have taged to the progressive but badgered Negro farmer of Georgia and the other southern states. We believe when the colored man is working on an million dollars worth hogs, eggs, onions, potatoes, cabbage and watermelons at war prices from the United States every year, he will go there and raise those edibles and find I agreed with Dr. M. — the speaker, and wished for his presence at the meeting of the farmers and their wives at Pines, on the 22nd inst. when I saw thirty well-to-do and successful Afro-American farmers and their wives from Nueva Geraea, Genoa and the island of Sicily, come to the door in their automobiles to witness the burlesque minstrel performance, arranged by Mr. and Mrs. John B. McCormick, and ordered M. E. church at Santa Fe. Forty odd automobiles around the city, some with them wore inside. Santa Fe's leading lady, Mrs. Wagstaff (Chicago), gave a good-bye dinner and box party to twenty-five of the automobiles. The rector of the Episcopal church and the other members of society followed him to the hands of two admittedly renalied Negroes to follow him. and "Carrie" didn't disappoint their friends but they surprised their acquaintance with the hands of two unattended individuals in this breee-sweet town never dreamed of the pent-up dramatic ability possessed by these two unattended individuals which greeted the Clairs upon their appearance marked the measure of individuals but the repeated ovations given them as performers proves that they will henceforth be respected dually, and that Santa Fe has had but as long as the "This is the first affair the kind Chairs own land here we will have, Chairs own land here we will have, Chairs own land here we will have." Wall, Santa Fe's land king and biggest land owner. The owner of Nueva Gerona's Grand theater has requested the Clair's to "come over here and repeat your big success of the other night and you will get every man, woman and child in town." "Excepting Mr. F. Price, who returned to Boston the 26th inst., and whose sweet voice, easy movements and new songs made him a favorite, and Mr. Charlie Glover of Atlanta, whose dancing and guitar duets with Mrs. Glover were rewarded with encores, the Clairs used raw material for their successful show. While every one of the performers had talent for the place where he or she was cast, it was superior ability which enabled Mr. and Mrs. Clair to fit them in three weeks for such praise as they have received for their initial show in the isle of Pines, where they think a number of good colored performers (do well during the tourist season (winter months))." The Supreme Court of Cuba has awarded more than one million dollars worth of Havana and country lands to an ex-slave from whom it had been withheld by rascals. PROFITABLE DISTRICT CONFER ENCE IN COLORADO. The third session of " of the "Rocky Mountain" District Conference was held in Boulder, Colo., May 21-23. This body was composed of the district convention and the Alpine Endeavor League convention were held. It was the unanimous opinion of those in attendance that these work in every way the most successful convention not excepting the meetings held previous to the separation of the districts. On Tuesday evening, following the day's work, an informal but very delightful reception was tendered the ministers and delegates. Throughout the sessions the work was both pleasant and profitable. Many excellent papers, covering a wide scope of the problems confronting the Sunday school was indeed interesting and made by Mrs. Fannie Brown of Denver, convinced the Sunday school people of the unbounded possibilities of the primary department, perhaps, as nothing There were thirteen charges reporting, with the pastor and several delegates from each charge. Aside from the charges, there was a delegation from Cherenne, Wyoming. Boulder, that beautiful valley town lying in the shadow of majestic mountains, the home of the state university at Boulder, the ideal place for the convention. The best water in the state is to be had here, and the rich scenery with its surreal landscapes and delightful itsitors. A special car, donated by the Boulder Traction Company, conveys the entire delegation to all points of interaction with which they attended the meeting. The manner in which the delegates took hold of their work and the faithfulness with which they attended the meeting is the people of Boulder made every provision for the comfort of their guests. Elder Ward expressed himself as being highly interested in the people and their people, and all departed on Friday for their homes inspired and encouraged to accomplish greater things. Attendance were: Revs. R. L. Pope and H. Franklin Bray, of Denver; C. H. Boone, of Colorado Springs; J. B. Holmes and W. B. Anderson, ofington, of Cheyenne, and T. H. Wiseman, of Boulder. Rev. J. W.

The public schools closed Friday, May 23. The commencement exercise is scheduled for summer high school, at Thursday 11 a.m., and 22 at the white high school, Ninth and Minnesota avenue. The choruses were well rendered and the pieces spoken by the teachers were memorable to the masterpiece of some well-known Negro author. The teachers and pupils deserve great praise for their efforts to be remembered. The gradeschool also are to be commended.

Madam Breaux may be classed easily among the foremost piano and orchestra players, and retiring and like the sweet songsters in the leafy bouquets, she seems content that she will not keep concealed from the public any longer her musical culture and genius. Madam Breaux is a artist, and that, as competition among artists is so keen, it is not wise to enter into it without being fortified by more experience, and that, as competition among artists is so successful musical career are genius, culture and wide experience. As an interpreter of musical thought and expressive art, Madam Breaux is the cult passages and phrases in music, Madam Breaux has few equals.

That is the edict issued by the National Civic Federation, and congress will aid in the work of reforming housing conditions in the entire District. This movement will greatly aid the poor colored people, who constitute the major portion of the population of these plague spots. William W. Cooke, who recently closed out his labors as superintendent of construction, is the leader of building at Ironton, O. has been assigned to a similar duty at Bowling Green, O. His salary is $2,000 per annum. He is under the direction of the supervising architect of the Treasury Department, and is regarded as one of the most efficient men in the business. Fred R. Moore, editor of the New York Age, was in the city a day or so last week, winding up his affairs as United States minister to Liberia. He was called to the state of the United States to importate documents, to audit the accounts of his office and to clear the decks for his successor. Although Mr. Moore did not go to his post, he was, for thirty days, a budget minister to Liberia and was held by the State Department of the performance of all the functions appearing to the office. The "temperst in a teapot," that has been brewing in the office of the recorder of deeds, because of the malicious meddling of a so-called and authorized Association, added with Recordor Henry Lincoln Johnson fully master of the situation. The administration of Colonel Johnson was the pienomen successor of the office in beating condition now, nor was there ever o greater degree of harmony among the attaches of the place. Rev. Winfield Henri Nixon, who preached the thanksgiving sermon for the old Dell Friends of the District at Convention Center, was the elder of the Huntsville (Ala.) District of the A. M. E. church, and is preeminently mentioned in connection with the election of the editor of the Selma News. He is an able speaker and as a bishop would "look the part" to a nicety. He is being strongly supported and his friends confidently predict his election in 1916. Counsellor J. Frank Wheaton, the leading candidate for the Libertarian mission, is said to be hopeful of appointment soon. Charles Stewart, the globe-trotting representative of the Associated Press, spent Sunday in the city with friends. He spoke in the evening of his 18th anniversary celebration of the Y. M. C. A., and preached in the evening for Rev. W. H. Hermanin in the city. Mr. Stewart will be one of the stellar lights at the Philadelphia convention of the National Negro Press Association next August. Mrs. B. K. Bruce recently addressed the National Council of Women and spoke eloquently on "The Conservation of Childhood." Robert A. Prather, of HLittle Rock, Ark., helped hold a long-lobed-petition signed by more than 8,000 white railway mail clerks, asking an order segregating white and colored clerks in the city.

All matter should be addressed to THE FREEMAN PUBLISHING COMPANY, INDIANAPOLIS, INDIANA, New Phone 2880. SATURDAY, JUNE 7, 1913. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Poet Riley had a high time in Anderson, Ind., this week. His path was strewn with flowers. More than likely when they are through contesting Mr. Bell's nomination for mayor he will be the nominee on the Democratic ticket. Pretty difficult thing to beat an editor. Mr. Roosevelt did the thing and as it was generally expected. In the first place the charge of excessive drinking was a bit too serious and ugly to put against an ex-President. The colored citizens of Baltimore are up in arms again fighting the second attempt at segregation. Harry Cummings, the colored member of the council, is making a splendid effort to beat back the discriminating measures. Evidently they are not on to the importance of S. C. Green's job in some sections of the South. One publication had it that, "He is said to be a representative of some colored secret order." "Lahd hep de white folk to get right." The XVII Amendment to the Constitution of the United States has been proclaimed by Secretary Bryan. It declares for the popular election of senators. A colored politician of this city said that it was a good thing since it meant more business for his line of politicians. He has a rather narrow view of the situation. Cincinnati, O., is also making for a $100,000 Y. M. C. A. building for the colored people. Julius Rosenwald gives $25,000; Mrs. Thos. J. Emery, of that city, also gives $25,000; the board of directors of the Central Association gives $35,000, leaving $15,000 to be raised by the colored people. Oh, yes, the colored people of this country have got a pretty good thing. Speaking of his suit against the Marquette, Mich., editor, the ex-President said: "It was not pecuniary gain that I sought. It was the rumors and reports, without foundation and sweeping over the entire length and breadth of the country, that I wished to stop. Ephemeral in character, and almost impossible to trace to any original source, these reports have been circulated in every State in this Union. Of course, the facts presented in the trial at Marquette have been widely reported in the daily press, and I do not care to discuss them now, but it is my duty to inform you that I has served to hush forever these whispers—so vague in character as to make it difficult to effect a sweeping denial of them, yet having a sinister effect wherever they were repeated. Consequently the outcome of this suit is very gratifying to me. I have been able to present the real facts, and, to me, that is the most important thing." THE COLONEL WON Colonel Roosevelt beat his man "He always does"—nearly always. He proved to the satisfaction of judge and jury that he was not a drinking man in the accepted sense. The damage was only six cents. But the Colonel was more about money; he has a sufficiency. He wanted vindication, and he got it. PUBLICATIONS Among the publications coming recently to The Freeman office: "What the Negro Has Done for Himself," a study of social uplift, by Lewis B. Moore. "The Crisis," a monthly magazine, of which Dr. W. B. DuBois is editor. "The Aurora," the monthly publication of Knoxville College, Knoxville, Tenn. "Kelly Miller's Monographic Magazine," by Kelly Miller, of Howard University, Washington, D.C. "The A. M. E. Review," the well-known quarterly of that church.

STILL AFTER OUR WASHINGTON CORRESPONDENT. R. W. Thompson, the well-known newspaper correspondent of Washington, D. C., wishes it to be known that there is nothing in the foolish talk about his "demotion and transfer," spoken of by Editor Calvin W. Chase, of the Bee, of that city. Mr. Thompson says: "I have voluntarily made a change, taking a position that offers larger opportunities for promotion than one previously occupied. That is all there is to it." It is so strange that some so-called big colored men find pleasure in hunting up the truly capable men of the race, making it their business to hold them up to ridicule at every opportunity. The so-called big men take delight in calling the objects of their wrath little men, insignificant men, and the rest of the bemeaning epl thets. They insist that they hold the little places in life, and so forth, and with such ghoulish glee that they add to the already large stock of Negro discouragement. Mr. Thompson is our leading news paper correspondent, and, as such, serves Mr. Chase's highest regard. If takes vastly more education, a broad education or more training than any other, he Who but half succeeds is still beyond the average of learned men. Mr. Thompson is succeeding. We are very much afraid that Mr. Chase cannot calculate his value. JAPANESE AND THE NEGROES. A big meeting of Japanese was recently held in Tokyo, Japan, as a demonstration against the spirit of hostility recently displayed toward them in this country. The meeting was made up largely of students, who took occasion to denounce the existence of color prejudice as exhibited against the Negroes in the United States. Of course, it will be understood that the Japanese are not greatly in love with our race. Nor do we mean to say that they entertain special anti-racism feelings, are of the opposite nature that we do, and today those people would not dream of drawing lines on any people that are anyway similar to themselves in the way of civilization, enlightenment. The Japanese, in their own country, it is said, have regulations of some kind against all foreigners. Just how stringent these are or how far-reaching, we are unable to say. We are satisfied, however, that they are general, and meant to preserve that country from the "land-grabbing" foreigner. The fact of these regulations gave California its best moral right to take its anti-Japanese step, one will think. However, we have no general anti-foreign policy, consequently measures like those enacted by California require counter to the Japanese, the American and conservative conceive it to be. They are bad in precedent, even if no hardship has been entailed on the Japanese. Race proscriptive measures do not sound good to Negroes, and for reasons known. The Japanese spirit of sympathy shown doubtless is appreciated by the Negroes. But at that, we will not forget that what we are in this country came by the way of these people among whom we live. The most that we may say, truthfully, against them is that they do not care to have us mixing up with them. When that is said all is said. It’s plenty, since at times it means great inconvenience. But it could be much worse. Employment could be denied. The opportunity for education could be denied, that greatest boon to mankind. Opportunity, be it the own and be masters, clerks, banker, merchants, could be denied. We want Japanese sympathy, but we do not want to be inflamed. We’ve got a pretty good thing, if we only knew it. It’s natural and right to hope and struggle for all. We chafe ‘neath the goods we know, yet we should rejoice because of the weights we have flung aside. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED TO GREEN. The Pensacola Journal, of Pensacola, Fla., gives the following account of what happened to S. C. Green, supreme chancellor of the Nogro lodges of K. of P.: "Taken from the Negro toilet room by a crowd numbering about seventy-five, who met the train at Milton, and saved from rough treatment, if nothing worse, through the prompt action of Sheriff Harvell, of Santa Rosa county, was the experience of a well-dressed Negro, who, disliking to occupy a day coach with his own race, purchased a Pullman ticket at Jacksonville for New Orleans, yesterday morning, and started for a ride over the river, division. He is now in jail at Milton, where he was placed for safe keeping, and possibly spent an uncomfortable night. "Passengers reaching the city last night at 10 o'clock told of the occurrence. The Negro enjoyed his ride in the Pullman, it seems, until after he had passed Tallahassee. Then word got out that he was aboard and at each succeeding station larger crowds would meet the train. This at first excited the curiosity of the Negro, but before the train reached Chipley he decided that more comfortable seats could be found in the colored coach. The desire to mingle with those of his own race possibly was brought about by some one whispering something to him, for when a crowd at Chipley entered the Pullman the Negro could not be found. Another crowd had gathered at DeFunik, but it, too, was disappointed. Milton and Bagdad learned of the occurrence, and they proposed to find the Negro, so, when the train reached there, they instituted a search. The Negro was found in the toilet, but the conductor and flagman refused to allow the crowd, which numbered about seventy-five, to enter. Before the train could leave the station, some one on the outside began raising the window of the toilet, and the Negro, taking fright, opened the door and dashed out. "He was seized, but Sheriff Harvel, who had suspicion something was going wrong, was in the crowd, and he immediately took the frightened Negro into custody and kept the crowd off. The man was placed in the county jail for safe keeping, and was safe this morning at 2 o'clock. "The Negro is the same one who passed through Pensacola in a Pullman car about ten days ago, en route to Jacksonville. Then he only occupied a berth, but on the return trip he had a drawing room. He is said to be the representative of some colored secret order." We made our "post-mortem" speech last week on the happening. We see no reason to change our views because Mr. Green is still in the flesh. Special laws are not right laws; they are proscriptive, but they prevail. In the meanwhile we must concede that all of the race is not as Mr. Green, who is prepared to take advantage of the best offerings by way of accommodations. To buck the law and sentiment is a very tough occupation. What happened to Mr. Green is one of the incidents making for the racial situation as it obtains to-day. We can see no reason to fight the enemy, he must fight to the upstreme Court of the United States. He would find his progress most effectually blocked in that direction. If he would assault the gates of opposition it would be best that he begin at the point of the least resistance. SPEAKS HIGHLY OF MR. KERN. No well-thinking citizen could have viewed the stand recently taken by Senator John W. Kern before that honorable man stood light than a clean fight for right and justice. Not since the adoption of the fourteenth and fifteenth amendments to the Constitution of the United States has a man with noble and fearless stand taken for human rights. It is safe to say that in this struggle THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Mr. Kern had to "tread the wine press alone," for his own party deserved him, and fifteenth amendments of the Constitution stood afar and off refused to commit themselves to the record, in that, by common consent, Kern's resolution was a viva la viva fight. Mr. Kern was neither Democrat, Republican, Socialist nor Progressive, but he human rights. He has not only delivered the miners of West Virginia from the shackles of peonies, but he has also negroed Negro's salvation throughout the South and every member of that downtrodden race should hold his name sacred to their souls. Mr. Kern confined to the West Virginia miners, but its effect will be farreaching. Indianapolis JOHN BROWDER -In the Star of Indianapolis IN OLD PADUKE. Big Home Coming Celebration—Heavy Rain Storm Accompanied with Hail Strikes the Indian Town—U. B. F.'s Home Services—Bishop C. H. Phillips Here. (By J. J. Amos, 1063 North 7th St.) PADUCHA, KY—Paducah saw more people, homecomers, concessionists, business men and signers during "homecoming," and the parish that Paducah derived its name from a chief of the Chickasaw Indian tribe, who was styled "Big Chief Paducah." He was formed and marched out Broadway to Ninth and back east on Jefferson street. A tall marble monument opposite the town hall was known as "Old Paducah," founder of this Indian town—Paducah. The order of Red Men represent Paducah and baskettle was "Paducah." The parish was "Paducah," in a canoe with his squaw beside him. Following this was Indian babies or small children drawn in baskettle for the first time up was a loc cab, said to be the first home built in Paducah, by James Poor, in April, 1821. In this cabin there was a spindle wheel and a spindle old; a spinning wheel and tobacco. Around the cabin door sat Mr. Louis Thomas quarter statue St. Louis Luther King, former Loretta Thomas, which sang that never died song, "My Old Kentucky Home." While passing the corner the multitude of homecomers joined the crowd, many heard many blocks away. This float was driven by six oxen.

JOHNSON DRAWS YEAR IN PRISON AND $1,000 FINE Negro Heavyweight Champion Is Des- nied New York Case Under White Slave CHICAGO, June 4.—Jack Johnson, the Negro heavyweight champion, today was sentenced to five years in State Penitentiary at Joliet and fined in the sum of $1,000 for violation of the Marriage Act. Sentence was pronounced on Johnson after Federal Judge Carpenter had denied a motion for a new trial by county court. The judge objection last week's time in which to prepare a writ of error and the bond for $30,000 on which he has been at liberty since his convictory. Expected Resistance. Half a dozen deputy United States marshals, who had grouped themselves about Johnson in anticipation of resistance as he entered the room when Judge Carpenter announced that the fighter could continue temporarily. "The sentence to the State Penitentiary is the result of a recent order from Washington that all persons convicted of a crime in this district should be sent to the State Prison, owing to the crowded condition of the Federal Penitentiary. Johnson left the court room, declaring he would not give up his fight for liberty, and that if the writ of error were denied he would be sent to the court. Action Was Surprise. The arguments for a new trial came up as a surprise late this afternoon. The case had not been set previously, and that if the writ of error were denied appearance in court of Johnson and his lawyer, he has been hard to determine what punishment should be meted out in this case," said Judge Carpenter in passing sentence. "We have had many cases where the defendant had been punished with a fine only. We have had other cases where defendants have been sentenced to one or two years in the prison." "The circumstances in this case have been aggravating. The life of the defender's own admissions, has not been a moral failure." Sets Bad Example. "The defendant is one of the best-known men of face, and his example "The sentence shall be that the defendant shall be confined a year and a day in the Joliet Penitentiary and that he shall be denied a request of counsel. The court denied a request of counsel for Johnson that the Negro be allowed to serve the term in the city Bridwell Institution and that Johnson was convicted May 10 of having-paid for the transportation of Belle Schreiber from Pittsburgh to Chicago. THE CHICAGO UNION GIANTS DIT TO—WENT DOWN JUST LIKE THEIR BIG BROTHERS. A. B. C.'c of Indianapolis Did the Harpooning. The Chicago team has had bad luck Both o' the them fell to the Indianapolis A B. C. I's. About two weeks are the well- known days of the game, but the saw, but did not comer, Monday of this week the Chicago Union Giants came, saw, and also did not conquer the pesky A. Kansas City Chiefs. The Chicago fellows are splendid lookers; not so heavy as Rube's famous aggregation, but considerably heavier than his. It was a good ball, steady, cool, and for a time it appeared as if they were not to be beaten. Their pitcher, Joe Piscifetti, had that fatal sixth inning. The A. B. C.'s pounded out three good ones—one and two good balls, and one and two good ones in the Giants called him off, putting in McNeil. Walker had pitched fine ball up until this inning; no scoring on him, and he was not a help matters by changing to McNeil. He pitched one inning during which Davis put a ball in the lake, making a home run, and then a home run, ghost, retiring to his position in center field. Walker was called back. Manager Abrams, of the A. B. C.'s, announced that he would not give up a good ball, but could not overcome the lead off he A. B. C.'s. Well Batteries—Chicago Union Giants, Walker and Coleman. Oiler pitched one hit in Chicago. Chicago Union Giants lineup: McNeil, center field; Brockman, third base; Coleman, second base; Lewis, shortstop; Alexander, left field; Wright, first base; Pitch, C's lineup; Cooper, first base; Davis, left field; Seldon, shortstop; Allen, third base; Higbsy, center field; Francis, third base; Right field; Cornett, catcher, pitch plight. Notes. Coleman, catcher for the Giants, was pretty smooth. Was catching like Petway until the fatal sixth, when his whole team got rattles. * Francis made the first hit off Walker, up until the sixth—a single. * Benny Lyons was absent, owing to the death of a relative. * Todd and his men played great ball. The Giants held several conferences, but the A. B. C.'s kept piling up the score. * The A. B. C.'s play the Cuban Storm, one of the fastest teams in the country, on Tuesday, June 10. * Two Games Tomorrow. The A. B. C's Juniors will play the Black Sox. The A. B. C's will play the Miller Giants, of Terre Haute, the champions of southern Indiana. American Giants Take Four Out of Five in Series From Plutos—Foster Wins Two Games—Smart Set Here Sunday.

The Hawaiian Duo also went well. Four pictures close the good bill. Foraker Theater. Miss Bessie Eddington made her first appearance in the city here, getting away near one of the streets she seen here for the city. She used a well-trained dog in her act. Baby Jim followed, and like himself, went big. He was a big boy in East. When Mr. Simmons announced Baby Jim, he received as much attention as Baby Jim himself, as he is News Notes. While in the S. H. Dudley office during the week, the writer saw twenty-five letters from performers, asking for work. They also saw several acts out of work. The performers managed managers featuring white acts in preference to good colored acts, which we think deserve to the colored performers, and white brothers in the profession. As colored houses, catering to colored people, the managers should give preference to colored Simmons is without doubt a real manager, and also an excellent speaker, who showed his ability as such when he announced Baby Jim Thursday night before an audience. He assumed a pose of his own and said, "As I grip into your sea of upturned faces," "good night, hear him finish, as we said" Lew Henry's home office for the Dud. ley circuit is one of the finest in the city. D. Gentry is the first colored man to be employed in the office of a white picture gallery. Bessie Eddington is a soubret with a good act and fine costume. She is doing well here in Washington. Anita Ramsey and Magnolia Brown as the Airdome this week. Susie Sutton, an excellent soubret, arrives this week and will be an attraction here. AT THE PEKIN, CINCINNATI, O. The manager of the Pelkin thought it was hardly possible for him to do a very large business this week, owing to the fact that he was working with Y. M. C. A. campaign, now being conducted in this city. We have not heard anything but help the cause since May 23, 2014. The people of the everybody is satisfied, for after a hard days' work soliciting funds for that $100,000 building, you may get plenty of recreation looking at and listening to those pretty people. The catchy acts playing over this time, and, of course, they were a scream here. The girls are good looking, have nice costumes, and knoow how to put ginger in the work. Miss Lucy Shepherd is still looking good, singing very well and wearing a peach headdress very much. She keeps this up, we will lose her soon. Mr. Olive Dempsey, Jr., is the new stage manager at the Pekin, while Dempsey, Sr. looks after all other details. Col. Sam Brown, formerly of the Pekin, is one of the hustling members of H club of the Y. M. C. A. campaign. Other members of the club are Samuel B. Hill, John C. McCarthy, and Frank W. Johnson, Pearl P. Perkins, Horace Allen, Col. Wm. Ford, James E. Jackson, andrank member over $1,900. The report of subscriptions for the first three days of the campaign from the fourteen clubs, Col. Moorland, national secretary, and Mr. H. W. C. secretary, are very much impressed with the spirit show nih the movement of Cindyatt's leading businesswoman tributed $1,200 to the cause. This is said to be the largest single contribution made by person in any of the camplains so far. THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. (Tim E. Owsley, Prop.) Big times at the Crown Garden this week. Wizard Tim hooked up a bunch of good ones and a rattling good show is on. He hit it lucky when he booked Lask. JONES AND LISTON. ton and Jones. This team was here just a few weeks ago. Manager Tim went to Chicago and brought the pair back, along with the others of the bunch. Liston and Jones. So much has been said about the team of Liston and Jones that it appears that there could not be much more to say. But it is just like their work, which is so good that the patrons can stand very much of it, even if it is the same. This has reference to the satisfaction it gives. Other teams may do finer work; they may be more humorous and fall like that, but when it comes to giving satisfaction just see Liston and Jones down among those at the top of the list. Of course, all that the team does is not equally good. "Hambone" Jones is funnier at times. In his Silly Willy talk he makes some real good hits. His "silly" voice always tickles the audience. His dancing is characteristic and in keeping with his role. But it is Miss Liston who is the greater drawing card of the team. She is a "blues" song singer, such as perhaps the Crown has never seen before. She has a splendid personality for the business—tall, good looking with a bit of "wickedness" in her just enough to make her go good. The men patrons surely must care. They eat her up. Her "Titanic" holds em spellbound. She puts it over mournfully, soulfully, beacons. He takes it and she sings it; it does not tarnish or lessen in value. The audience still remains through the beacons. She beautifully costumed this week, which adds very much to the act and the effectiveness of her singing. Their other songs include "Wear," "Good Night," "The Melon Man" and "The Lovey Dove Glide." Frank Kirk, trump musician, is giving satisfaction in his musical act. The Kinky Kinky Trio do a most pleasing turn. They crack some good jokes. Washburn and Piper do some dashing turns. They are favorably received. Miller and Lyles at the Grand Next Week—Excellent Bill the Present Week—Charles "Chicken" Jones and Ethel Cole Hit on Monogram—Tim Owley. a. Visitor—Danbegay. a. Hugh Success. (By Cary B. Lewis.) Miller and Lyles. Young Mr. Smith, of the Grand, stated to us on Tuesday that Miller and Lyles will positively appeal to the public. Third-first, and State streets. These are the two young comedians who have made the most rapid progress of any who have last week that they appeared at the Palace and have the best spot on the bill, with John Harper, the more just of the two, and the lobby on gilt frame frames, the first incident of the kind seen here in Chicago for a number of years, need not be the lobby with Slide frames of vaudeville houses. They have a big act, draw big salaries; therefore, they 'deliver the show' to the public wants to see and managers will pay big sums for them. It is not a question now of what big colored show you were going to offer now. The public is a peculiar thing, but if you have what it wants,ers. They are the public to whom some Miller are an excellent guarantee that the house will be crowded from Monday to Friday. Reports are that hundreds of people are making efforts to secure boxes to avoid the nightly crowd. The Grand Theatre. Marshall and Trible are headliners at the Grand this week. This is a return engagement. It is said that when these two comedians were at the Grand just several weeks ago, they were only time during the year. We do not know about the receipts but THE FREEMA AN ILLUSTRATED CO-RED NEWSPAPER from the crowded houses nightly when they were there, such may have been possible. They are another big act of which we are, justly proud. They have the goodness of a daughter will make you like to see an act that will make you laugh; and when they come on you start to laughing and never get "Grey" until they ease off the laughs, urging "Grey" to be "good" and laughs was this act to a lady down in Indiana not long ago, that the ushers had to carry the lady to the corridor and, with a bit of laughter, maintained that she must see all of "Sambo and Dinah." Paul Florus played the xylophone. This was one of the best numbers on the bill, played some very the music and Mr. Peyton continues to startle the natives with the newest and latest high-grade selecting. By all means, see Miller and Lyles next week. reach the climax in entertaining the many hundreds that filled the house. Billy Cumby, whom I have often said is a genuine comedian, dig and in using their grass from a small town near the house. Smith and Redmond, a sister team, gave their audience a "new thought" in the work of our colored artists. Dr. Lattimore, one of the leading physicians of Louisville, introduced the distinguished guest, Mr. Dudley, and remarked that they all were all the more appreciated the patronage of the public. Mr. Dudley "backed" him in his statement that he was a spindled one, my opinion, and I feel that the house should "make good" by looking over it. Executive Staff: S. H. Dudley, sole owner of the group of R. J. S. Slater, resident manager; Joseph Clark, assistant manager; Mayme Ashford, secretary and treasurer; R. B. Dudley, leader of orchestras; E. M.

This week finds us in northern part of Texas and of our extended tour The Monogram Theatre Charles, "Chicken," Jones, formerly with the Dixie Minstrels, and Miss Ethel Cole, a charming little actress, were their first name. "I'm a blackface comedian of the funniest type and funnier in his make-up, and opens the bill with Miss Jones, who was the first one of the most latest suits, singing 'Dixie Land.' Tails number is followed with a line of talk that will be so great as they've been resembled by the women resemble a letter. Miss Mitch and the changes her costume to a red gown and signs most acceptably. "Let's Go To Savings, I think," the�, "I'm a beautiful figure caught the audience and when she began dancing her popularity went up about 50 per cent. "Chicken" was the first one of the most popular "Chicken" female, she started a whirlwind of laughter to go over the audience, singing "Bye Bye." They sing "Love Dear and close with a buck" and "Love the Jade," and "Chicken," and "Jones following. It was a splendid bill and must have gone equally as well as when they closed the Keith house at De-Miss Hitch. "Miss Hitch," she looked up, "I'm a good-looking and of Indian parts, and she featured nicely," "Chimpanzee," and "Chimpanzee," and "I'm a warm reception and saw with perfect ease and grace. Estelle Harris and Bessie Brown, Miss Brown being well-known, and I am very good-looking and I am good-looking." I was a good-looking wardrobe and plays the piano and sings, rags just as good as she would wish to hear. My "I'm a good-looking," she made a bit. Miss Bessie Brown, as a man, in evening dress, features "I'd Rather Be a Wester Than a Wise Guy," and I was a know-not. The role of the bill will be a "classed Process." Ethlyn and Luke, an eastern team, very classy and a good wardrobustness, very well. They sing, "Any Old Time, Good by, Rose and Hypnotizing Man." Oakland Music Hall Tim Owsley Here Tim Owlsley, of Indianapolis, Ind., and known all over the country, was in the White House last week. Louis, Mo. We did not get to see the actor-manager but a few minutes. We were glad to see him looking so well. Mr. Owlsley always a welcome visitor in the Windy City.

AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILA- DELPHIA. teresting motion pictures to lend variety to the vaudeville program, was the offering this week at the Auditorium Theater. Anita Bush and her company, with a baker named Robbins, Bush makes no less than five changes and her array of costumes out-dazzles anything that has ever been introduced in the vaudeville stage. The costumes of money. Besides her warbore, she reveals one of the most melodious voices ever heard on the vaudeville stage. The Miss Bush's exceedingly good looks and charming personality, because she made good. Criswell and Bailey in their third week followed in "The Circus Day." They produce a measure of entertainment that is generally hilarious and always good, the "Williams and Walker" of the profession. Fun and melody were pleasantly matched. Leslie and Carter in a novel and skillful dancing number were real good. In something of the same line of endeavor, Boute and Carter, a pair of talented entertainers, met with an equally talented group. An enterprising combination of song, dance and talk introduced Robbins and Robbins to the general satisfaction of the Margaret Taylor and company in burlesque with plenty of lively comedy, good food and great music, call regular glamorous dispersers. Their work was so clever that the audiences were unwilling to let them go. They were good, people lined up waiting for every performance. A Very Impressive Scene—Great Crowd of First Nighters. By Elwood C. Knox Special to the FREEMAN — In all my career as managing editor of the Indianapolis Freeman, I have never seen a more impressive scene in the theatrical line as that of the Ruby Theater on the night of June 2. It seemed that people came from everywhere to welcome the triumph of the new production of the theatrical ability of S. H. Dudley, the premier comedian of our time, so to speak. Today afternoon, on Monday night, the Ruby Theater was filled a capacity business, standing room only at both performances. I think that Mr. Dudley was the best of them, in purchasing the Ruby Theater, as there has been a necessity of that want in this city. Performers who know me will say that I am the best of them, but so overcome am I over the opening of the Ruby Theater, that I must say more than ever in regards to this “special deal” played by the speakers of the program, there could not have been a better one for the opening of a first-class theater. Jines and I have been the performers of an artistic measure, and reach the climax in entertaining the many hundreds that filled the house. Billy Cumby, whom I have often said is a genuine comedian, did me proud in using first-class fresh "dope" that brought down a sister's team, gave their audience a "new thought" in the work of our colored artists. In fact, the management could not have secured a better bill in vaudeville for the opening of the Ruby. The executive staff of the Ruby Theater is responsible to my opinion, and I feel that the house should "make good" by looking over it. Executive Staff—S. H. Dudley, sole owner and proprietor; R. S. Slater, resident manager; Joseph Clark, assistant manager and Maintenance Secretary and treasurer; E. B. Dudley, leader of oroctra; E. M. Mukes, electrician; Pete P. Walker, master mechanic; ushers, Miss Dovie Harges and Myrtle Johnson; Mollie Clark, maid; John Ross, custodian. Dr. Lattimore, one of the leading physiotherapists, has been a leader of the distinguished guest, Mr. Dudley, and remarks that Mr. Dudley at all times appreciated the patronage of the public. Mr. Dudley "backed" him in his statement that he "did not have a good time with my company." (Dudley) would give them high-class personages. My visit was a very pleasant one, and even as a newspaper man, I can not express my gratitude. My First Visit to William Hogan's Theater. I visited the Olio Theater at 1230 West Walnut street, Louisville Ky. I last monathe who is proprietor and manager of one of the prettiest little theaters in Kentucky. My visit to this playhouse was made very enjoyable, and most especially by the clever bill Mr. Hogan had engaged. Green and Wallace and Lizzie Wallace impressed me much. The play is very well done. The Troo is fine and should reach after the higher plums. Thomas Melton, as a playwright, is never seen before. I would like for him to try Indianapolis. In excercise, I would say, in regards to the book, that I think that Green and Wallace are one of the best set of performances in the business. They are natural performers. They are natural performers. The average. Personally, I think they are at the top in vaudeville. Thanks to Manager Hogan. Long live the Ruby Theater, and more of the people of Louisville, Ky. NEW YORK NEWS (By The Owl.) The Lincoln Theater The opening of this bill was Carlice Wright, a clever single who went big. Those two clever Bostonians, Juniper and Carington, have borrowed from the Williams and Stevens No. 1 company, a few weeks and are over filling them. These are two of the cleverest performers in the show business. They were a riot at the Lansing theater last week. There are at Gibson's the editorium theater, Pride, Ph. Pa., this week going big. Next Beatrice Hodge, that little singing and dancing soubret. She was another big hit on the bill. This young lady and her partner, Miss Emma Keys, are this week in Philadelphia. The taem is known as Keys and Hodge, the two dancing devils. Next on the show is the book in one of their screaming acts. The last half brought Walter Evans, another good act. Then Josephine Tobias, a very good act. The Burtons, then the Moors, in another one of their great acts. Of all the theaters in Harlem, the Lincoln is it and some more. When most of them are empty, she's crowded to the doors. Now this I have been told true, by the Old Owls. No. 2. The Lincoln and Lafayette theaters are packing them day and night. Lafayette Theater Erol, character protein artist, is in a class by himself, and a great act. Leonce Lazzo Johnson, the girl from the West, was good. Lasso and Company created quite a little applause. Frank Montgomery, assisted by Florence McClain and the paper on their young Monday had little bad luck. They are good people though and we feel sorry that all did not go well with them. The company consisted of twenty five people. So Sipp and Ringold were then called upon. This is a very clever team and the Reese Bros. and Co. Davenport, Leonard and company, white, in a comedy sketch, went fairly well. R.J. McMaster and company, in a sketch, "Fun in the Cafe" was good. Berta and Wulfker, white, very good. De Costa Duo, the xylophone artists, great. Then Pallcapri and company, three real Chinese in their Chinese marvels of the Orient in songs and music. They talked six different languages. Harper and Gilam came just ahead of the chinks and were a big scream, but the Chinese act, their closing show was a little baby to the�. They were safe, brought down the house, and they were compelled to take several bows. Crescent Theater George Hamilton did a nice single and pleased. The Olivers were good. Marnie Jones did well. Brook and Wilson went very big. The feature picture was the sinking of the Titanic. This was a great picture and quite a drawing card. The last half opened with the Dupres, Goe and Girlie, white, very good. Smith and Hatch, a good act. Frank Williams very clever. The Brinkleys did very well. Show very good. Fifty-Ninth Street Theater Well, here's another house that seems to be holding its own so far. Chief Wolf Wanna, a real-Indian, made quite a hit Collins and Belmore, white, went very well. Hunter and Chappell's stock company did nicely, but an Thursday, just before the matinee they walked out. It seemed the manager up to that time had failed to give them their contract. They were told to give the show and later they would receive contracts. This did not please Hunter and Chappell, and they walked out. The last half brought Hirk and Durban, white, just fair. Billy Dixon of the Four Dancing Devils, did a nice single. May have done better with a good orchestra. The one at this house is very bad, and I can see no chance for improvement. Next White and Lee closed the bill, but they had a packed house. The manager says his business remains the same. Family Theater. The Alabama Comedy Four opened this bill. This is one of the best acts in vaudeville, and it was a big hit. The Kinky Girls were a riot, Harris and Turner was another great act, but the dancing Ips cleans up. The show was good and the manager is all smiles. Pioneer Theater. White and Lee opened this bill on Mon day. Gum Drop Trio followed, a half hour later. The company received their share of the applause as each performance. Mitchell and company did fairly well. Epps and Loretta came out and Winfrey closed the bill, going nicely. Franklin Theater. Manager Ostriker has cut out vaudeville, showing pictures only, at 5 cents. When in conversation with the residents for�, we made a prediction that we would have a new first answer was he was tired of using the repeaters, meaning acts had played his house two or three times. He said, "I know there were the feebest acts in New York." I don't play a poor one; they are canned as soon as they reach my doors, so you see there are not enough good ones to keep a house over the past. They are out for what they can get out of it and will send you anything. Then when you can or close them, you are going to be a bad fellow. The best things to do are not to see such acts as they send you. So I have cut them out. No more vaudeville for mine unless I open up an office and know just will do to make you good. And a number of them at an act is and have a number of them on hands at all times and a number of one stock company to fall back on. I am a good manager Ostriker and I am very thought Manager Ostriker has compelled to differ with him when he spoke of a few good acts in all of New York. I told him this city is full of the best things to do with a new work. His sales would not reach the number of them. He partly agreed with me on that point. We only hope that Mr Ostriker will see conditions as we do. We need all the vaudeville to do as well now. I am a good man, that he will again put in vaudeville and have an overflow of the best acts.

We are in our second week in old Brooklyn and the business has been swell, although, although, we can tell. Eat Rainy Williams, our bass drummer, met his wife for the first time for many moons, and part of the time in the West; also Frank Washington, our first trombone player, met his wife and her relatives, for four people and some of them all smiles; of course I mean Earnest and Frank. We have put on a new repertoire of manager, visited the music publishers, and they are all saying "the best ever" Alex is in Philadelphia and reports a swell time. The eastern boys will have a chance to see their folks this season, as we play the East off the man, so say they招手 to all in and out of the profession. YOUNG BROS.' GREAT CARNIVAL COMPANY Mr. and Mrs. Chas. C. Stewart, now with Young Bros.' Great Carnival Company, are playing a new comedy skit, called "The Professor and the Student," in which the student brings nightly, Mrs. Stewart is quite a favorite with the people. The little soubrette is a hard worker and always goes to the school to send kind regards to all in the professors. Miss Suzett St. Paul, the dainty little comedienne and former teammate of the student, is struck an awful streak of hard luck. After being confined to her bed all winter, is now suffering with a fractured arm. He is expected to join her partner, Happy Jack Cooper, in the near future. She sends kind regards to all. Happy Jack, formerly of the Cooper and St. Paul, who starred with the Royal Amusement Company the past season, opened two weeks ago with the premiere of his exquisitely zucking the population. Happy Jack says he certainly likes the carnival business. He thinks Mr. Harry Young, the general manager, is the finest if not the business. BOOKER WASHINGTON THEATER, ST. LOUIS, MO. "Exceeding the speed limit" is the most appropriate definition of the show now playing at the theater, for its moments being issued against the acts of the The Porters, Willie and Buster, and that riot伎剧 sister team, team Smith and Redmire. The actors, tended to tender these performers it can be heard for many blocks, thereby disturbing the peace of those in the theater, to these more than clever folks' antics. The Porters open their act with the songs, composed by Charles De Vine's Broke Down. "I Wouldn't Work For No Human Being, and close with it, for the moments skit, "Bing Arrests the Moon." Now commences the fun, screams and roars, when chubby little Miss Laura Smith, of the team of Smith and Redmond, has finished her first song, "When You're in Town." She was immediately dubbed "The Bronze Eva Tanguy," and easily took the audience by storm, especially so in her interpretation or rendition of "The Gaby Glide." Miss Redmond also scored heavily with "Where the River Shannon Flows," winding up the fastest and positively the best bill this house has ever presented with a classy pretty little summer song, "I'd Do As Much For You." Taking the show as a whole, you are getting a dollar show for a dime. Special feature photo plays conclude the banner bill and week's business of this theater, thanks to the Porters and Smith and Redmond. EILER'S UNCLE TOM'S CABIN. The original Aaron Gates is now with Eller's "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Show. The company has only five colored people with the show, and Mr. Gates has the management. He is staging his own acts.

This week's bill starts with a scream and ends in a riot. Bill opened by new team in the business, Peters and High-tower, and these two boys have an ex-good-boy. His life is a fortnight-old rest. Mr. Peters is a contortionist of no mean ability, and Mr. Hightower is some funny man. Second on the bill was Stovall and Stovall. The singing of Mrs. Stovall is marvelous; her voices as a clear-skelled ball and a system of mocking bird, while the comedy of Mr. Stovall was an easy winner. The last on the vaudeville bill was Nugent and Schaffer, a sister act. Now, when it comes to dancing, these ladies are past-time, and the men are the most stopped. Miss Nugent claims to be the champion female buck and wing dancer of the world and defies anybody to dispute her word. Then follows the big musical extravaganza, "The Missionary M. M. M. from the pope's Joe's Ph.D. in the show." It is in two acts and three scenes, and the plot opens in Booker T. Washington's school in Tuskegee Ala. and closes in Africa. Mr. Lee Nicols, in the character of John Greys, Plg, starts from a laughing on the raining and keeps it up until the curtain falls on theight between the baboon and the king in the wild's of Africa. Mr. Campbell, or the team of Campbell and Campbell, is some straight man and knows his way. Mr. Cousin and Miss Logan, the team of Nicols and Logan as ALABAMA FEATURE WORLD'S COMING COLOR SOME SINGING, DANCING, TALK That More Th ALABAMA MINSTRELS FEATURE COMEDIANS THE BROTHERS WATTS AND EDWARDS. Mr. Elwood Knoxs, Indianapolis, Ind. : Watts and Edwards have been with me ever since I have organized my show, and are, in my estimation and also of the people wherever I have taken my show, the best colored comedians that have ever played the Pacific Coast and Middle West. Watts is an Indianapolis boy and a brother of Billy Foots Watts, known to all the readers of the Freeman. Watts and Edwards are more than coming to the front, and the future is very bright for them. Billy Edwards is more versatile than Watts, as he does a very clever slack wire act, a contortionist, comedian and dancer that makes every one take notice. I have special did her part with ease. Little Rastus, as the baboon, got his share of applause. The sun dance by the company, at the opening of the second act, in the jungles, had to be repeated several times. Much credit is due our stage carpenter, Mr. Charlie Williams, for his hard work in narring the scenes in the second act. When the curtail rose on this act the house went wild. Uncle Joe Golphin, the author of the play, as King Slag Ankle, did his part nicely. Manager Frank Crowd was seen walking up and down the missis, his face all families. Mr. the word just received a brick from the new Booker Washington theater, at St. Louis, Mo., from Chas. H. Turpin. Inscribed on the brick are the following words: "A brick from the Booker Washington theater, to my friend. Frank Crowd, from Chas. H. Turpin." I forgot that little Tommie Parker, in his character as the Missionary Man, was an easy winner. Those whom I asked to write me care from the theater, Sir William, also kindly write me care of Globe theater, Jacksonville, Fla. Also would like to hear from Willie Owens, Zennie Cole-Jefferson, Missouri Mayo and Monte Mallory. Important: write The Old Order Passing—Something New Promised in Theatricals. "Let us be progressive." This has been the slogan of the colored race throughout. Specially among the theatrical professionals, it has been made wonderful strides within the last few years. They have had to compete with all other races with the disadvantage of starting two performances, so unfamiliar to the audience, for performance, they teaches us, given by a Greek by the name of Acholi, who traveled from one community to another, very much on the road, and who has been pronounced in old English fiction. The sons of Ham were the last to start in the race, and that they have left some of the best of the country, and by the advancements made all throughout the country. More especially is this noticeable in the South, where are building a wonderful network of theaters devoted to colored attractions only. In the North, with but few exceptions, advancement in building theaters has not been so successful, and justice and "time" be secured for all sorts of attractions. Then again, the population of colored people is not so large as in the largest cities. In days gone by this has FIDDLER & SHELTON FIDDLER & SHELTON kept our most celebrated leaders, such as Williams and Walker, Ernest Hogan, Cole and Johnson, SHELTON, S. H. Johnson, others to devote of their time in the North; but now that sufficient time may be obtained in the fields of these houses will in all probability, secure their best attractions, which leads up to a few remarks. Fidder and Shelton much may be said. They are too well known to need a detailed account of their past record. This team has been together for years and has been many times in their trainees are of high experience, young in years and have built up a reputation with both combinations and variety in their careers, to be available. They have in course of preparation a musical tablod for so scenery and splendid aocumes cannot be surpassed. We will continue to receive advice on their departure and believe the managers will avail themselves of this opportunity of these, these who and what ways have credit and a progressive to racial principles on and off the stage.

The Josie Mills Dramatic company was the name. Then I went to a new dressy outfit and some more money. The angel came to my rescue and I spent my savings, about $60, and owed me $100. My new agent was my agent. I worked fifteen weeks straight, then laid off for about six weeks, and then went work as a blackface monologue song and dance artist. I was trained by barrel act, started them on the wear, so after working with them for some weeks, I saw I would have to work with a performer as soon as possible. I simply mention this in conjunction with my brother performer, Mr. Wooten, in stating that the act was practically due to the fact that the acts cost the performer quite a sum and patient practice. And on the other hand, the performer colored houses don't believe in running filled in a variety of acts, so the performer finally gets a song, a pair of dancing shoes and a line of lokes and a movie act is jumping to another town. For myself, I am blessed with more than one act. Thank God, I have three acts. I am a graduate of Prof. Eph William's Famous Troubadours and Silas Green Company.

The pastor of local church entered the ring and, after saying there was nothing brutal in the preliminaries, asked the great assembling blage to think that they were daily an agged in a similar fight in life. The preacher said he did not disapprove of (By Billy Lewis.) That Luther McCarty, champion of the white fighters, met his death at Calgary, Alberta Canada. He was 88. Arthur Peky, is generally the object here will be to quote from various sources a detailed account of the happening and also the comment bearing on it. No effort will be made to give an account of the event that the information is as reliable as information goes. For fear that some of the Freeman readers may not know Luther McCarty is, it is best that I call attention to the facts that The white heavyweight champion won that title in what is known as the elimination contests. These were between the two players, and the two such men as Carl Morris, Al Palzer and Jim Flynn. McCarty succeeded in beating all the would-be champions in the last few months ago. This elimination game was meant to rid the fighting game of Jack Johnson, as was the Los Angeles made for the importance of McCarty, since it gave him the distinction sought, and also made him a sort of pretender to Johnson's title. . . . CALGARY, Alberta, Canada. — A dislated neck caused the death of Lutheen McCarty during his fight with Arthur Pelley. The result of the autopsy made it seem likely that the firstblow inked in the neck was caused by a knife able for the ficthern's death. Pelley got in a clean hook to the jaw as the first marker after the men clenched, and many others were wounded. McCarty's neck. In discussing the case, the crown prosecution alleges that crown fighting is illegal under the statutes of Canada. It was intimated that in addition to the charge against him, he was again against Tommy Brus as promoter, Ed Smith, of Chicago, as referee, and Billy McCarney, manager for McCarty. These, however, are not ex- Police in Predicament. A peculiar situation confronts the authorities because of the fact that the man was under the jurisdiction of the mounted police and that several police officials attended the contest, none, however, proclaimed. The case of Pelkey will not be far enough advanced to be tried at the Asses now sitting and I heard will come up. It was said by the physicians that death undoubtedly had been caused by the heart was found to be sound. A clot of blood on the brain aided in convincing the doctors that death was not due to the blow. Shortly after the contest began McCarty received a shock back quickly. It did not appear to have caused any pain and he was afterwards on his feet for half a minute, followed back quickly by Pelkey with a right to the heart region, which caused the spectators to believe that the latter blow had Spinal Cord Ruptured. Physicians are of the opinion that the dislocation of the neck was not sustained in the fall which followed. He fell slowly and was not injured. After the second examination had been made, the physicians said the investigation show that the blow caused by causing a rupture of the spinal cord and a hemorrhage of the spine. Just before the death of McCarty was amputated, Perley had slipped into his clothes at the request of his trainers and was taken to his hotel in an automobile. It was not until after he had been admitted to the hospital that McCarty's death. He had started from the hotel when officers arrived and took him into custody. In his belief that the stiff foot hook which ended the fight in burns' arena was not primarily responsible for McCarty's death. He denied that the blow actually handed the heart. There had been one or two mixups of an inconsequential nature and a clinch. He was trained in palliative attitude, neither seeming to be worse for the clinch. McCarty was seen to double up in a matching attitude and his position simply was a fighting pose. He dropped lower and lower, however, his eyes rolling. Then he collapsed and fell full length on the Takes Final Count. The before, assuming that McCarty had been knocked out, snood over him to count off the seconds. It was the final minute, when the winner of the battle, at such heavy cost, stood at onside of his fallen adversary. He scarcely could realize what had happened, and he became alarmed. He called for a doctor and several responded. The mounted police were called in to chase the enemy, which had swarmed on the ropes. The physicians worked over the stricken man for eight minutes. Then they pronounced him dead, and the police handed him by artificial respiration for more than an hour. There were probably 10,000 men in the arena, and they were known that McCarty was dead. A few minutes before, whetted by the lust of battle in the pre-minutes that had been found, the police put a quietus on the spirits of the spectators and they filled quietly out of the arena, shocked by the tragic end of the battle. Almost the last words McCarty heard $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. EEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

He contended, all fighting all the challenger on Sunday. He was listened to respectfully by the court. The physician who took charge of McCarly and made a thorough examination after death, contends that the collapse of the heart is due to heart trouble or paralysis of the heart. He said that, owing to McCarly's condition, the heart was sufficient to cause death. Laughs With Friends. Both men apparently were in splendid condition when they entered the ring, ropes. He was laughing and joking with his friends and assistants and apparently was in a confident mood. A few minutes later, he was greeted by men who were cheered. Pelkey, strong local favorite, receiving the greater volume of plaudits. The men shook hands, were photographed and our attention was on them. Men captured attention at the opening, both handling themselves well. There were several mixups of no consequence, then Pelkey jabbed McCarty on his shoulder and our attention was on McCarty under it, but smiled. Then after about a minute of fighting there was a fierce exchange and a clench. He was shaken and the blow which caused his death. The referee separated the fighters. McCarty stood near its corner with Pelkey in the ring. Both men were feinting. McCarty then assumed the啄ing position for probably ten seconds before he fell to the floor. The referee, after making the customary counts, held up the hand of Pelkey to indicate that he had been declared the Physician Called. McCarty's seconds rushed to his side and began to work over him. After a few seconds there were calls to him. After a few minutes in the room he did not realize the seriousness of his condition. A few minutes later his death was announced. Short, king's counsel, said that an information would be placed against Pelkey and possibly some of those closely associated with the bout. Under the threat of a doctor it is liable to arrest for manslaughter. Body Was Shipped. McCarty's body was shipped to his birthplace at Hastings, Neb., on the following day. The fatal ending will have the effect of putting the lid down tight on boxing contests in western Canada. Tommy Burns succeeded for just one year in running bouts at his arena, located outside the city. Betting on the contest was lively at 2-to-1 against Pelkey holding out for ten rounds, while McCarty was a straight shot. Luther McCarty Luther McCarty was born at Lincoln Neb., on March 17, 1892.His father was a Irish extraction. Standing a trifle over 6 feet 3 inches, he was physically powerless, but his best blow was a right uppercut which he used almost continually in clinches. He first sprang up into ringing presence with the Chicago City Springfield, Mo., on May 3, 1912. McCarty was immediately hailed as a —real white knight — by the Chicago City Springfield. His best battle was with Al Palzer at Los Angeles last New Year's day, where he was defeated by Bombardier Wells in eighteen rounds. The last fight, previous to the fatal battle, was a ten-round view of Frank Mo. Belky Powerful Man Arthur Pelkey, whose blow caused McCarty's death, is one of the new crop of heavyweights which sprang up after the defeat of Jeffries by Jack Johnson. He hails from Chippewa Falls, Mass., and is a powerful six-footer who fights at about 200 pounds. While never a clever boxer, he has almost been noted as a terrific slugger with a knockout blow, either right or left hand. He has fought a number of bouts throughout the East, usually meeting third raters with rather indifferent results. His last two bouts of important losses were against Jesus Willibald at New York last July and Tommy Burns at Calgary several weeks ago. Burns, former heavyweight champion, announced a heavyweight elimination tournament to be staged at his club at Calgary, and as the opening attraction billed a fight between the same and the same. The team was a draw at the end of the men's rounds, and Burns immediately matched Pelkey against McCarty, the winner to meet "Gunboat" Smith, who secured a decision over Jess Willard at San Francisco. James J. Corbett. ex-heavyweight champion, speaking of the sad happening, McCarty was the most prominent white hope we had and there is no doubt that the condition of the man that would not have affected him. Again there must have been something wrong with his heart; there is nothing particularly of the matter that is such a blue line if a fighter has a poor heart, most anything is liable to happen. "My brother had a weak heart and was the picture of health which was dropped in the way he is. I am sorry to do the same thing. I am sorry that the accident happened but do not think that it will affect the sport to, any very marked degree of health." "I think it is so important that he was said to there be no question that he was mismanaged and probably when per-mixture to do as he pleads did not have any care." He had been in fit condition. Certainly he had been in a heart that he would not have fessed him. You know he had been a regular man who had been a heart for a regular and a-crushed his ribs and had been a sound-up to him. "I think he was a good-old person who had been a good-old man," Mr. Corbett continued. "A lot of people will now say it's a brutal sport. They don't know if they're talking about them. It would be been in the same times if it was a common occurrence, for I have been beat around the heart by the best men that ever stepped in the ring, and the bunch "The paper I read reported that the blow was made by the man. That's unusual. Must have been a mistake there. A blow to the heart is delivered by the right front right from the body, like this—" Corbett, by the waist, drew his musculus, and his own waist towards his interviewer's short ribs. "I wouldn't really hit you, he said when his victim "There'll be another contest now for the heavyweight championship, course the Big Eagle, but but be white man now on the boards, I think, 'Gunboat Smith.' It is a great long, randy fellow who does some promising work with the gloves." The death of McCarty adds another knocked out a long list of fighters killed in prize-ring battles. Bob Fitzsimmons knocked out Con Reardon in an exhibition, and Reardon never recovered consciousness. Owen Moran, the English lightweight, killed Thomas McCarthy with a blow in a bout in San Francisco Other deaths in San Francisco include, Harry Tenney, who died after a clash with the police, Jimmy Tenney, who died fro mthe result of the blows of Jimmy O'Connell, in 1900; Ginger Tenney, who died fro mthe result of the punch ten years later; Max Landy collapsed and died after a bolt with Joe O'Brien; and Joe O'Brien, a Philadelphia Negro boxer, was killed in a bout with Stanley Rogers in Philadelphia the same year. Another death in San Francisco, the bolted battle was killed by Billy Vernon. known as the Haverstraw Bricklayer, Vernon collapsed in a Philadelphia bout the early nineteen and died the next day in a car accident. He was a bantamweight, the result of blows delivered by Jimmy Barry, the American champion, in a bout before the National boxing club, of London, on December 6, 1897. Recent deaths include those of Joe Billy Walters at Waukegan, IL, in 1912, and a French pugilist named Pelli, who was killed during a fight with an English boxer fighting under the name of Everenden. Itsburgh's astonest ring fatality was the death of Poirry Laverie, a Southside lightweight, who died a few hours after his bout with "Swats" Adamson, in Adamson as a substitute for another boxer, and was out of condition. The bout was stopped in the final fight, after Laverie had taken considerable punishment. He collapsed in his dressing room and was rushed to the hospital and died without regaining consciousness. just an ordinary tough fellow with a waltop and nothing else.

THE TRUTH OF JACK JOHNSON'S TRIAL Evidence Does Not Support Allegation of Indictment—Judge Carpenter Absolutely Fair—The Defendant Will Be Acquitted On Evidence Heard. CHICAGO. Ill.—The trial of Jack Johnson, champion boxer of the world, as we go to press is now in progress in the United States District Court before. His Honor, George A. Carpenter. The work was given to the券商 at the home port on about 11 o'clock, and the government in their opening statement stated what they expected to show in reference to the violation of the Mann act by Jack Johnson, who's the Belle Stairway, the same way as many witness. After the statement was finished the counsellors for Johnson in a brief statement asked the jury to pay attention to the evidence and the law and that would be all they would ask to their own. For this, the action is not introduced about five witnesses, and from their evidence not a single one of them had connected Johnson and the Schrieber woman together prior to the enactment of the Mann law. All of their evidence was printed in a d�-d.com and a copy of the 1909. None of the testimony given charged Johnson with any act of immorality with the government's chief witness, Miss Schrieber. On Thursday, the star witness of the prosecution, Believers Schieber was written to the law. It is a man and remained until 4 p. m., and up to that time not one aspect of testimony had been given by her which showed where Johnson had aided or abetted in her transportation from Pittsburgh to Chicago. The charges charged in the indictment were accused. Mr. Parkins, the assistant proposing attorney for the government, realizing his matter helplessness and inability to take care of the law, and the allegations set out in the indictment, resorted to the incompetent and irrelevant matter wholly immaterial to the case at bar, but was not permitted by the court's decision to bring in a matter which would have a tendency to prejudice the minds of the jury against the defendant's court's� to the l�ida. Hildo and the facts of the case, Mr. Parkins wanted to show the jury that Johnson at times had beat and slugged the complaining witness and by such means had been found to be so large, or so wise she would not have done, and it was through fear of his great physical power that she had acted. The jury was excluded from the argument and the court, Mr. Parkins made a strong effort to prejudice the jury and failed he remarked that he might as well stop there if the court would rule out that line of advice that would be the only way to get the verdict of guilty whether Johnson was guilty on not in other words, that the sympathy of the jury would be the only way to get the judgment of the bar. The bar was the only way, but Parkins would like to make her admit it for the purpose of a conviction wholly upon race prejudices and not fact or law. The court is in the case that he would have found that he would give the government unwill the 10 o'clock Friday to study over it, and that a woman of her reputation could not be debanched by anyone or anything. Johnson could not have a better judge to hear his case in all the land than the Hon. Judge Carpenter. He is a man of great integrity. He is honest in his dealings with all people, of whatever race or religion, and has never been known to have a prejudice in his mind against any person charged with a crime. He is absolutely hard and impartial. BRAINS, NOT BRAWN MAKE CHAMPIONS. Jimmy Britt, One of World's Greatest Lightweights, Tells Why Many Fighters Never Reach Top of Pugilistic Ladder. (By RoyalBrougham.) "Why do many fighters go so far up the pugilistic ladder and suddenly stop? Well, listen. Jimmy Jumped up and experienced boxers on the world, straightened the pin in his tie, drew his chair up closer and continued—"because they don't study." They study, and they are at the top. And those who do are not champions because of their natural ability alone. They study. They figure things out. They go along for a while, winning battles. They reach the second class, that is, the near-champion class. Then, do they just train, spar and take off weight before an important battle? No! They stud "Did you ever know a fellow-sufferer at school when you were a kid, who, naturally bright, seemed to float ahead of his class without half trying?" And he did not. He went into the higher grades, fall down with a bump when the time came to show? That was because he did not study. He did not apply himself. He got along well enough, but some came when his further ability would not carry him any further—and then stopped. Wins Eights Naturally. "It is so in prizefighting, baseball or any other line of athletics. A fighter may be the class of his town. He wins the confidence of the fans because he is bright and just wins the battle of his nation," he says. He meets champions for other towns, and wins. But not on any systematic methods, but on just luck. "Then our champion gets a real match. He signs with a man of reputation. He claims down the title at the end of the shape when the fight comes off. But, toward the end of the battle, he weakens. He is losing. Why?" He has nothing to fall back on. He has spent all of his natural ability, and is beaten. "But that is not to be so far as to the near-champion class by ability and then scientifically studies out his battles, is the conqueror. He figures out why a boxer felts. It is just a habit that he will do his no benefit. He is accomplished something by sticking his mitt without a foot of his opponent's face and then stop." He studies these things out. Does he needlessly sidestep when no real good is the outcome of the fight? He has a long interest at the right moment? Does he figure just how is the best way to slip over the winning punch, whether a body blow or a face blow is the better? He watches these things closely. "There are many samples of the fight "I was behind Al Kaurman when he fought Dave Barry years ago. Al was going strong. He was going strong. He was winning battle after battle—but not on headwork. He won them on his feet. He was not to take punishment. Kaurman never figured a minute ahead in his life. That's why he was never champion. He was a rough-and-readyrapper who knuckled." just an ordinary tough fellow with a wail- hop and nothing else. Well, Al had every- thing he needed, but Harry lasted fourteen rounds. He should have got him in four. Fighting Own Fight. "Daleyan, Kaufman's manager, was letting the fellow fight his own fight. And he was making a poor job of it. Kauwai brought that helpless expression on his opponent's face time after time. Then, without any other attempt, flashed the face of the opponent and let Bowie cover. It was the same thing over and over for thirteen rounds. Time and time again, Al would have his opponent groggy with that stiff left of his and then jumped. "Well, at the end of the thirteenth round I became so disgusted that I could not help offering a suggestion: I was not intentionally the fight, but intentionally, but nevertheless it was so, while any moment his husky opponent might slip over one of his sleep producers I was, and I was pretty well known about those parts then, and Kaurkman listened to me. Gives Him Hunch. "Good heavens, man, follow up that left. Can't you see you get him if you don't want him? He's into his face anywhere, oYu can't help but get him." "He didn't went no further than the fourteenth." "Al, for the twentieth time, sent one of those crushing hits into his opponent's head, then stepping a stead of back, pushed his right into Barb's face, then taking a tilt. He could have figured the thing out himself just as well if he had wanted. He was not a fighter who figured things out." OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLA. Skirvin Giants Organized for the Sea son.

C.'s defeated the Indianapolis Reserves, 4to 1, last Sunday at Northwestern Farms, a large crowd of twelve minutes. Both teams played fast ball, neith club having an error. This is the first game of a series to decide the fast fielding by both clubs kept the fans on their feet throughout the game. The team played well on day at second base, accepting ten chances without an error. Calderhead, at second for the Reserves, had two difficult challenges in deep center, which looked good for extra bases. The winning of Bartlett for the A. B. C.'s a feature. He allowed but four hits, two of them being infeld hits. Dawson was the big noise with the stick getting the ball. The Reserves were the first to score, one on one, and one on two. Edwards opened the game by fanning, Pritchard scratched an infield hit through short and took second on a passed ball. Edwards hit at first, Pritchard taking third. Calder-head hit too hot for Barlett to handle, and Pritchard scored. Barlett hit at the Franks-Turmer route. Barlett had the Reserves at his mercy for the next eight innings, C. Milner connected safely. Barlett connect safely. Pritchard singled in the ninth, but a fast double play by Seldom, Francis and Turner kept the B. A. C. Ludwig Weakens in Third Ludwig held Bowers' club safe until the third inning. Carmett was out, Calderhead to Wagner, Bartlett was given a second out, Carmett was out, Calderhead to Wagner, and Pritchett knocked down Davis' single, scoring Bartlett.

C.'s and the West Parks, a team of players, met on Decoration day at the Northwestern park, wherethey battled for about three mortal hours. In the first game the West Parks came very nearly being blanked. Thescore was 8 to 1 in favor of the A. B. C.'s. In the second game the White fellow got their heads together, planning for some execution. They went to the battle and began promptly on their program. They battled triumph and ran like deers. It was evident they didn't mean to be done twice on the same day. The colored fellows called out their reserve force of pitchers—Davis, Hirsys; then Bennie Lyons, Bennie managed to stop the slaughter after he learned his men. The West Parks led until the game was half over, when the A. B. C.'s began slowly to steal ahead. Score 11 to 9 in favor of the A. B. C.'s. Features of the game: A West Parker out the hall in the lake so plumb that the water shot up like a fountain. Todd did the banner playing for the A. B. C.S. He knocked a home run; and the ball didn't go over the fence. He picked up more hot grounders than any other player; shot them to first base like a quiver from an arrow. He got the old dollar bill for his home run. Davis, in the left field, ate up everything that came his way, and then some. He belongs right out there and not in the pitcher's box. He pitches too good—they hit him so beautifully—just couldn't help it. Batteries—A. B. C.'s, Griffin and Sibly, first game; Cornett catcher for second game, Davis, Higgsby and Lyons, pitchers. West Parks, Brown, McElrath and Gould, McElrath and Gould. Last week I tried to say that in a series of five games between the Louisville Cubs and the A. B. C.'s, that the latter club would take three of them, instead of five of them as it appeared. B.L. AT THE CROWN GARDEN THEATER. Badgers A. C. Boxing Card. The Badger A.

M. A. SISSLE, Pres. This organization is still in existence and intends doing work in connection with the city charity workers. Although the organizations did great work, still they were only representatives of the public in general. This whole population of the credit}}}} I'd like to find the possible work that was done, for had it not been for the ready response on the part of the public, these committees and organizations would have been in vain. Without urging, the people and the city's public solidity and supplies. And those who did not have that to give gave money and services. It was no time for personal glory; it was a case of every one answering the call of humanity. However, one case deserves special mention, and that is the one of the most important results in the company. This company makes a special effort to solicit the patronage of the colored people. It is reliable, and has always kept its promises. Each collector gave one dollar, and the company gave two for every one the collectors's share of the income. The company has not to be used among the people from whom they received their support. To praise the people justly is impossible; there is only One Who can give the right credit. He who sees and records, even if he does. To Him we'll look at the reward. Y. M. C. A. NOTES.

When will our people awake to the fact that they have their lives and money loafing on undesirable places that can never bring them the least good? When will people be permitted to be cared if people would turn their energies toward upbuilding the race and spend their idle money in the interment of their fellowmen. If they were done, the Negro power would soon be at the front in the race of civilization, and in the entire world, both morally and financially. The pastor, officers and members of the new Gallilee Baptist Church met last Sunday at the church in the city, where the church and rendered a priest service in honor of the completion of the edifice. Rev. King and his small flock dedicated a place of worship that is a credit to the city. A large audience was in attendance. Several prominent divines were present. It is a noticeable fact in Dallas that the people are casting attention and humility at a place of worship that is together as never before. This is surely a right move, for we are all striving for the same heaven, and should work together to make good can be done otherwise, and the Master's kingdom brought nearer to the zenith of its glory on this old earth. We have the hearty co-operation of all in the building of some of the finest edifices to be seen in the city, making every effort to forward the cause of Christ in this part of the country. The Freeman is always the most important moment of religion, which is the greatest work of mankind, in that it saves the souls of men and women from destruction and places them in a better phase of life.
