JUNE 14. 1913 KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL The Twenty-Sixth Commencement at State Normal, the Greatest Event in Its History—Swell Banquet at the Ladies' Hall—Former Editor Reid's Tribute "Negro and the Japanese." (By Hardin Tolbert State Bureau, at Peoples Pharmacy, Both Phones 666, Box 233. Mr. Ben D.

Protective Insurance Association. He is prominent in fraternal circles and especially in the Knights of Pythias, being a charter member of the Young Men's Pride No. 12. He is a member of the First Baptist church choir, Mr. Madison is steward at the Capital hotel, the oldest and most historical hotel in the state.

Mr. Madison has a beautiful home on Logan street and is blessed with an affectionate, sweet wife and daughter. Mrs. Madison is a graduate of the University of Marietta P. Madison is a music teacher at the Shelbyville high school. She is a graduate of the Clinton street high school specialized in music, and is making a remarkable success in that field. She has won renown as a pianist. She is a conscientious church worker and is a great friend to many. She is able to have such energetic citizens as Mr. Madison in our midst. He has always been loyal to every development for the The twenty-sixth annual commencement of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute marked the greatest milestone in the history of the college society. There has never been, it is said, by those who have watched the Institution from its start to the present day, a larger crowd of people than the number of students. There has been as busy as farmers were, they were present, and the students were present, and the others throughout the state and country that the Kentucky State Normal always has some disgrace each year, on the part of this college society. The college society has been there for a year of immorality or a disgrace of any kind. President G. P. Russell should have the common ground of the University. The college society, for having conducted the institution so excellently. He now stands as the peer of all educators who have been at the place of the college society. He has, in some state, no cannot estimate. The state has been demanding such a man for a quarter of a century. The state official has, on the other hand, an official, excellently. Dr. Booker T. Washington and other prominent educators in regard to a man for this college society, who, in the course of the period, had this institution, for it seems to have been in the limelight. The people began to boast that there would be some disgrace for the college society, but he had been some talk about a white man for the head of the school, but the call was answered by Prof. G. P. Russell, who, in the course of the public school of that city which bears his name, Russell high school. Mrs. Russell, who, in the course of his life, had been an extraordinary in society, and she is not conspicuous in society, but she is active in club work or anything that pertains to the public school. She is a very well-known, cool, prudent, and a man of the wash-woman, cooks, scrub-women, girls in domestic service just the same as to the preachers' wives, who are not a heraldayer, but what was demonstrated to the people at this commencement. President Russell has a band of students, who are the only members of the State Street Baptist Church, pastor of the State Street Baptist Association, vice president of the State Street Baptist Church, and the leading ministers of the state, delivered the address before the literary societies. Rev. Morrells, of Lexington, is a member of the State Street Baptist Church, religious society. There was an excellent program at the class day exercises. This is the first time in the history of the institution that the college society was ever a part of. The college society was always away all o the high honors. What's the matter with the young men? --- FRANKFORT, Ky., Special. MADISON. Port, Ky. Prof. Rollin W. James, who was born in Huntington, W. Va., Cabell county, August 25, 1889, worked and received his only education from the common school, and graduated from the West Virginia Institute in 1895, and after which he worked for several months in the coal矿es. His alma mater, which position he held for two years and resigned to take a post graduate course at the famous Tuskegee Institute, in 1905, was elected head of the children. After graduating he was elected superintendent of the farm. After serving there for several years, he returned home and in 1908 was elected head of the department of agriculture at St. Paul Industrial Institute. After several years of valuable service at the St. Paul Institute, he was called to the scientific and practical department of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute in New York, position he no reserves. Since he had been elected to this position in 1912, and under his administration, the Normal farm has undergone a great change. A few weeks ago the trustee of this institution visited the farm and paid Prof. James many compliments on his unique way of conducting the institute farm. Last week the state inspector came around to inspect the dairy, and said that the institute dairy PROF. ROLLIN W. JAMES, Frankfort, Ky. has the cleanest and purest milk in the county. This was indeed something credible to the institution. Prof. James has the ability to get his vegetables on the market first, and the fellows who is up and doing at all times, looking out for the best interests of the institution. Mrs. James is a very pretty girl, and she is kind and benevolent. She is one of those young ladies who is always looking after the best interests of her husband's. They are both Christian young people, and are making a remarkable record in life. PUEBLO, COLO., ITEMS. Special to THE FREEMAN Quarterly to the Freeman, held at St. John's Church, Rev. W.

ACTS OF A FLORIDA MOB GRAND CHANCELLOR GREEN'S EXPERIENCE WITH "MOSS BACKS" Was Esorted by a Lawless Crowd to the Jail and Interviewed and the Locked up for the Night—The Next Day was Fined $25,00 and Cost. I arrived home safely last night, after an unexpected and unusual experience with a Florida mab. As has been described, and in pursuance of my duty as head of the order of Knights of Pythias of North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, I left this city on Saturday, May 17, 1913, with a train ticket and a ticket for a carriage in the village, Fla., going from there to Qcala, Fla, to meet the Grand Lodge Knights of Pythias of that jurisdiction, which issued its session on Tuesday, May 20, 1913. It has been my custom for years when traveling long distance and having a good time to go to the outskirts of the duties at Grand Lodge sessions, in order to obtain rest and meals while in route, and for the conservation of my health and safety. I have no other plan, as I have a comfortable accommodation as possible under the law. To this end I readily paid the extra fare for drawing room access to the building, and I have no other sleeping car reservation when not otherwise because of the conditions mentioned. While quietly occupying a seat in the main room, I have no other time to do. The train conductor informed me that the sentiment in the day coach occupied by white people was opposed to the use of the new train, and I was not sure he would advise that I take a seat in the day coach for colored people. While my rights under the law, but in order to avoid trouble I could go in the day coach. If I so desired, I readily considered the use of the new coach in order to avoid any trouble. After hard and arduous labor at the Grand Lodge session at Ocala, Fla., and holding many sessions all night, I was able to get the train to the new train, upon my return to Jacksonville. Fla., and in order to avoid any appearance of a desire to oppose public sentiment, I was able to get the train to the new train, as well as the letter of the law, by paying extra fare for the drawing room access to the building. I was not sure to felt myself secure as being entirely separate from the white passengers, without any need of being in their presence. I was not sure to feel the same all times. To my surprise when the train arrived at River Junction, Fla., en route to this city, I was informed that the train would be set up in the same that expressions from some of the white persons at the depot at River Junction were feliced to be in the drawing room in the Pullman car. I then readily consented to abandon the drawing room and go into the day coach in order to Upon my arrival at De Funah Springs, Fla., a large crowd of seemingly irresponsible young white men and boys had gathered on the outside of the coach and were pointing to me while I sat in the day coach for colored passengers. Just before arriving at Milton, Fla., I was informed by some one of the train crew that a mob was being formed for the purpose of taking me from the car, although I was then in the day coach. Upon my arrival at Milton, the crowd discovered me in the day coach and some one claiming to have a warrant for my arrest caught hold of my hand and went with him out of the coach and the train pulled out. A crowd of about seventeen people might have been surrounded with one large man on each side of me, holding each hand and accompanied by from the depot into the town, where they carried be to the jail and interviewed me. After learning my name, residence and the position I occupied and the duties I was called upon to perform, the crowd seemed to become somewhat appeased, and I was placed in jail by the deputy sheriff, Mr. Martin. The next morning I was carried before a justice of the peace and allowed to plead guilty to a misdeannour and fined $25 and costs for violating the jim crow hated that while Sheriff Harvell was not present during the trouble, he had left word with his chief deputy, Mr. Martin, that no harm came to him, and Mr. Martin instructed to the very letter. I wish to commend in the highest terms possession of the peace, under the circumstances, by Sheriff Harvell of Santa Rosa county, Florida, and as deputy to the police, conservators of the peace, and my only regret is that in every county and parish in this state, I wish to add that for the past seventeen years, and descentive officers in the discharge of their duties as the two just mentioned, I wish to add that for the past seventeen years, I wish to add that from Jacksonville. Fla., over this same road every year, occupying Pullman station on the road to the station on the part of any person, and have frequently while traveling got off the train and greeted me and the police, and took back to the or drawing room in the Pullman car. The trouble seemed to have started when I came in possession of the ticket for the berth, and when he was informed, stated that he had been in the past seventeen years and had never yet seen a colored person occupy space in the Pullman car. I seemed that someone had public sentiment to such an extent that persons in the several towns on the road and decided that he should not occupy the Pullman car. It is a sad commentary upon the boasted American claim of justice and fair play that a citizen accustomed and complaining with all the requirements of the law, will not be allowed to travel on account of necessity in a comfortable way, when willing to pay for such accommodations as the public transportation companies may afford. I wish at this time to thank the Daily States, of this city, for the kind and cooperative dealings, the managers of the Daily Item for the very fair account of the affair published in their issue of Tuesday evening, May 27, 1913. I also thank the Daily Spokesmen of the city, for kind words and manifestation in my welfare and safety. I regret that the Daily Picayune, noted Public Library pjau 13 for its conservatism, saw fit to hold me forth as Negro Pythian Boss instead of being the Supreme Chancellor of the state, and in their headline setting forth that my insistence upon riding in Pullman cars got me into trouble. Such headlines are calculated to inflame public sentiment and to have the effect of a violation of the laws. I think the home papers should at least give a fair account of the occurrence and thereby allay public sentiment with respect to parts of persons in public conveyances. CHAMPAIGN, ILL.

D. S. Oakford.) From the highest point on a lofty peak in the realms of thought domain, I spread my antenna to the ether of life And wired the delicate sensitive chord To an active cell in my brain. With a skillfully scientific touch to each neuron and each cell, I turned the instrument of my mind to the highest key on the scale And with the receiver of love to my ear, I listened for the signal bell. The vibrant thoughts of many a mind that were tugged in a lower key. And though I knew they were passing by, They failed to interest me. As I sat one day, in my wireless home and dwelt on a theme sublime, The vibrant chords of my wireless machine caused the signal bells to chime. The operator from far away Had tuned to this theme of mine. I broke the current to ask the mind if we might commune anow For the tenor of beautiful thoughts like these. "We shall know each other till time's gone." As the days go by and the years are passed and the cons are left behind. Two minds that were wed through the ether of life. Commune o'er the wireless line And the masculine spermatazoa of love hath entered the ovum to bide its time. When this life shall bud in the age that dawns, where the unoger boards no gold. This life that is now in embryo, shall neer be bought nor sold; But through the transition of mind supreme. Life will be love and thoughts will be clean. And our teachers will live in the age to be, when the world is purged from crime; They shall vibrate on o'er the mountain peaks To create a MASTER MIND. Thoughts that are born of love sublime That commune to us all, o'er a wire NEWS OF TUSKEGEE, ALA.

Washington Men's Forum was organized several months ago for men. The president, Dr K. D. Cammack, is a tireless worker and is injecting everything into it that will make it a moral, intellectual and social uplift to the people of Milwaukee, and it his aim to urge and encourage every man who cares for himself or his race to become a member. This organization takes up everything pertaining to the race in the United States and nothing is too large for it to tackle, for it goes after things in such a manner as to obtain results. It fought the intermarriage bill that was recently introduced in the House, and through its representative, ex-Assemblyman L. H. Polmer, to a successful consummation, and the entire state of Wisconsin should feel proud of this organization. The meetings are held on each Monday evening at St. Mark's A. M. E. church.

Commencement exercises at Tuskegee are marked features of that institution. Last week more than 7,000 spectators gathered from all parts of the country to witness the winding up of the year's work. Automobiles and other vehicles numbering above 1,000 were on the scene. There were 1,600 students in uniform, also other features, together with one hundred sixty graduates. All of this made for a very impressive occasion. Following is a small part of the very interesting program, which continued over several days: Promptly at 9 o'clock a procession was formed of students representing the year's enrollment of 1,618 young men and women and 290 teachers and instructors, the famous institute of fifty pieces, in charge of Prof. N. Clarke Smith, bandmaster. The procession marched from the drill grounds by way of the Andrew Memorial Hospital to the chapel. The procession was composed of students from thirty-five States of the Union, Africa, and eighteen other foreign countries of Central America, South America and the West Indies, including Prince Charles T. Wardah, from the West Coast of Africa, and Prince Lattevi Aijayi, from Lagos, West Africa. The procession represented students in forty different industries taught at Tuskegee Institute. The 180 graduates in the procession included seventy-five young women, thirty-one post-graduates, ten Bible students and seven trained nurses, three of whom were young men. Marching in uniforms, the student body, followed by the teachers, presented an impressive scene, which elicited applause from the thousands, but stronged the passage of the chapel to commencement demonstrations by way of commencements have been a part of Tuskegee for a number of years. They bespeak its permanency and the hold on the popular affections. Scholarships and awards of various kinds give additional value and make for interesting variety. The great work of Dr. Booker T. Washington lives up to its reputation. It has a true niche in our affairs, in human affairs, and will not be dislodged. The world owes him a debt of gratitude for his remarkable generalship. He has many men and many of the end, making him university, so to speak, and which is being emulated the world around. Long live Dr. Washington. BOWLING GREEN, KY.

K. Bruce Company D Gave Display Drill at the State Normal—Decoration Day a Grand Affair. (By Hardin Tolbert, at Peoples Pharmacy, Both Phones 665, Box 233. Bishop B. F. Lee, Special. Bishop B. F. Lee, University, delivered two elegant sermons in the city Sunday, one at the St. John A. M. E. church, of which Rev. D. C. Carter is rector, at 11 a. m., and the other at the State Normal school. A large number of people heard the sermons which were full of logic. The bishop made many demonstrations in his baccalaureate sermon to the students of what their future life depended upon. His psychological judgment of the future hope for the young progressive colored boys and girls was very encouraging, as he is a man of great experience. He gave a sketch of many things that have happened in his life of forty-five years of toil in the service for the development of his people. He was much elated over the excellent discipline of the school under President G. P. Russell. He said there were but few schools that equalled it. The opening of the "Empress," a NEGro theater, on Washington street, opposes the Old Fools' Hall that was built to the color of the people. This something that has long been needed, a first-class play house. It is especially for the fine exotic pictures and songs. This house gives the young NEGro an opportunity of equal rights in the same money. The service is the same as getting it. Why should both pay the same and one be isolated? The salvation treatment NEGro has at the Empress, Mr. J. W. Rankin, proprietor, a first-class white man whose ancestors rank among the richest people in Kentucky. Employees none but colored help. Mr. J. E. Hudson is manager, and the orchestra is something to inspire our youth. This is something to inspire our youth. Here is a chance to see our people display their talent. The initial performance will be large and large audience. The theater will be even more beautiful later on. With nearly five thousand NEGros here we are no known drawer card for our people.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The campaign for mayor at this stage is as cool as the weather. Vacation days! The happiest of the year to some boys and a few girls. What's the matter with the Negro Exposition of Pennsylvania? Why don't they make a noise like an exposition. Eggs are in sight. Bacon is unreasonable. Bacon and eggs are divorced. That erstwhile devoted pair put in on the score of non-congeniality. The weather is fine for sleeping, but extremely hard on the farmers. It is no time to be happy if it is got to be paid for next winter by way of high priced food stuffs. Well, the Negro Democrats can't hope, consistently, for very much. There are such a few of them, as compared with Republicans. Many in office would alarmingly reduce the ranks. Couldn't blame those corporations for kicking against taxation that doubled and treebled in a year without any visible cause. Just don't believe in the spirit of hold up, even if it is John Rockefeller. Butter now thirty cents per pound. is it possible? Real butter that's yellow, once more is possible, even in the restaurants where the word butter is never uttered, or if so, in strange stage whispers only. Well, if the people wish to give the Crisis a benefit entertainment we guess it is all right even if it ain't regular business. The Crisis is the monthly publication edited by Dr. DuBois. It seems to enjoy more popularity than prosperity. Governor Sulzer, of New York, has signed the bill authorizing the organization of a Negro regiment in the state of New York. Verily, his action is somewhat different to that of the Governor of Pennsylvania. By the way Mr. Sulzer is a Democrat. Mr. Tener is a Republican. Discrimination is getting a bit keen about dear old indianapolis. It is being said that at one of the big department stores the colored women are asked down stairs, some where, to try on garments they wish to purchase. It sounds unreasonable. If such a thing is true, it is something of recent ordering. It seems that our novelist, Meredith Nicholson, has got there in spite of the strenuous opposition. Nicholson is considered a rather high class man, but not long on politics or regularly. The President, apparently, loves him for his faults and for the enemies he has made. He will be minister to Portugal at $10,000 per annum. Fourth of July is a great big incentive to patriotism, may be. If the preservation of the patriot's spirit required the sacrifice of many lives, perhaps it would be worth while. And if so the family of the victims should be pension for such loyalty. But patriotism can be preserved without a yearly sacrifice of human lives. And since it can, our present observation with its death roll attachment is an abomination. Louisville is to have a theological seminary for the education and training of Negro leaders, the institution, which by the Baptists, will be manual in scope, and essentially for the education of Baptist ministers. The movement is headed by such men as Rev. Dr. Parrish and Rev. Dr. Amiger, of Louisville, Ky. Many more prominent men are associated with them, and who hail from all parts of the country. Rev. J. R. Harvey and his associates who had such a time collecting their bags full of evidence against saloons of the northeast section of the city that had violated the laws by selling liquor on Sunday were rather chagrined to find the superintendent of police out of the city when they were taking their captain. Coffin was sorry, he said, that the superintendent was absent. He invited the gentlemen to call back and bring their bundles with them. CHANCELLOR GREEN'S VERSION. Grand Chancellor Green's version of what happened to him will be seen elsewhere in this issue. He admitted violating the Jim Crow law, pleading guilty and for which was fined $25.00 and costs. This is strange enough in view of the fact that he had traveled over the same road for the past five years, occupying Pullman berths and drawing rooms without being disturbed. Commenting on the happening he said: "It is a sad commentary upon the boasted American claim of justice and fair play that a citizen, decently clad and complying with all the requirements of the law, will not be allowed to travel on account of necessity, in a comfortable way, when willing to pay for such accommodations as the pub lie transportation companies may afford." It is indeed a sad commentary on the state of our affairs when citizens of similar walks in life may not enjoy similar privileges, yet just such a thing makes for the race problem. Mr. Green's struggle is but an incident and in the right direction since it tends toward the freemen's goal—a country with the open door. It will not be possible, however, for any one of us to do much at bringing about what is desired by jumping into the middle of things. We will have to find some means of overcoming Jim Crow provisions and others that work against us wholesale. The process will be slow, meaning many years; meaning a recollection wholesale, of our own product and notions, and practice of life as well as a revolution of thought and conduct among the other people. Many of us are to prepare to enter this newer life, the more acceptable condition, and for those prepared it is something like that old heathen poet put it: "Why if the soul can fling the dust aside, and naked on the air of heaven ride, Were't not a shame—were't not a shame for him, In this clay carcass a cripple to abide." Many of us are not prepared to make a contest when challenged for short comings, we are making double to come we will right, and in the years to come we will be where we should be if we will but keep the faith, and run the race with patience. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH GOV ERNOR TENER? Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, did the unexpected when he vetoed the bill permitting the organization of a Negro regiment, passed by the legislature of that state. It is a rather bitter pill in face of the fact that there was but one dissenting vote in the legislature. The state of Pennsylvania has done some splendid things for the colored people. The legislature appropriated $20,000 to be used in promoting an exposition in celebration of the fifthth anniversary of freedom. The council of Philadelphia granted $5,000 to be used in entertaining the National Negro Business League which meets in that city in August. One would think that this governor's recognition pointed to an unusual friendly relation of the races. Then again the Governor's known attitude on lynching, which he forcibly expressed owing to the happening in that state of a few years ago, caused him to be set down i nthe column of avowed friends to the race. It will be remembered that there has been considerable talk anent the stewardship of the $20,000 appropriated. Is it possible that the management of the trust? Some thing, one will think, has changed the Governor. What is it? DEDICATION OF THE Y. M. C. A. Major R. R. Jackson Honored—Free man "StenO" Honored—General (By Cary B. Lewis).

Many will be learned by the team and the performers will be in greater demand. When Mr. Gibb Young opened the舞台 as a colored vadeville theater, he installed a white orchestra. The colored patrons were quick to notice this and many censured Mr. Young for having been so long in the color house. Mr. Young has always been willing to give his own colors the preference. He immediately searched the color code and was very soon from the other, after considerable trouble. He then dismissed the white orchestra and installed the colored musicians. The change was gratifying his friends. He was very well until after the first day day. The Monday following this event the violin and cornet players were missing. They gave Mr. Young the notice of the music in the show. The trap drummer missed the morning rehearsal and appeared five minutes before curtain time and made a ruffle effort to play hard show with him. The piano player also had the only man on the job and did excellently under the circumstances. The next day Mr. Young rebirthed the white or chestra. The show was then in the� of the裕宜.

The Auditorium. Is crowded nightly. Ore Criswell and Laura Bailey closed their third consecutive week at this church than any other act. Anita Bush and audiences never tire of these clever girls and their meritorious work deserves the highest commendation. Anita Bush and girls were another strong feature.

Fans of Chicago are talking about the coming of the world-famous Cuban Stars, and they are also talking about gin a series of games with the American Giants. This is one of the best attractions that will be offered the fans in Chicago, and everything on route to Chicago and flushed with confidence that they can take the other hand, Mr. Foster tells us that his men have absolute confidence in themselves and will demonstrate that they will be able to make many followers in this city who will lay their money on them, and 3,000 Cuban makers have pledged themselves for $1 million each. The money will have many followers in this city who will lay their money on them, and 3,000 Cubans make $1 million each. Notwithstanding the many admirers of the Cubans, the players are laying their money on their team. More money will change hands during the series of these two teams than any clubs that have played in the series. Club Intact. The Cubans are intact. Their men are well and in good condition, fast and snapping, and ever than ever. There is Chacon, Moran, Mendez, the great pitcher; Hidalgo, Margionet and Parpett, the great catcher and first baseman; the gallos will be behind the bat, making the Cuban Stars stronger than ever. No fan will be able to beat them. Mr. Schorling will make arrangements to seat everybody. Fans who have heart disease had better stay at home, for the Cubans are hard to find and enthusiastic ever seen in Chicago. Batteries for the opening game will be Lindsay and Petway for the Glants, Orley for the Stars. Order your seats today. Flag Day June 29.

CLASSY KID. Little Julius Turner, formerly of the Great Southern Carnival Company, Mineshires, is some "classy kid." He knocks them off their seats nightly, featuring the late hit, *Row*. Row. Row. Row. He sends and takes cards to all in and out of the profession. NOTES FROM WILLIAM McCABE'S GEORGIA TROUBADOURS. We are still in Kansas, and business is good, with every member enjoying the ebst of health. Mr. Upton Williams and his company are leaders in the industry with the company and making good in every town. Their act is pronounced as the finest colored acrobatic act in America. They will be with McCabe's Georgia Troubadours next season. The entire company reports to all. HOUSTON, TEX. Mr. J. Samuel Green has a brand new pastime park on the Loeland car park. Mr. Green is a very empathetic person. He empoly believes that Mr. Green will be successful, as he is a good man and an entertaining gentleman. He is the best person to serve in the city of Houston. And Mr. Green knows that people in the city need to be kind in the whole business. The Freeman is on sale at 413 Milam street, Thomas W. Butler, agent. Read the Freeman and get the news from him. NOTES OF CHAS. GEYER'S MIN STRELS. Charles Geyer's big two-car colored minstrel passed through Indianapolis, on with the 6 at 11 a.m. forty people in the minstrel business. Marsh Craig is one of the many feature minstrel days ago, for their second year. Seven more canvassers joined in the last few days when he is standing room only at each performance; weather fine. Two new cars will be added in a few weeks who will replace those until last season. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHILADELPHIA. A remarkably good bill, one with plenty of humor and variety, prevailed at the Auditorium Theater this week, with the team of Keyes and Jones in mind that a genuine novelty is offered in a sonic and dance act, that when a good offering comes along it is a premium surprise, and Keyes and Jones have an excellent turn, with plenty ```markdown ``` Juniper and Carrington do a talking singing and dancing act that is full of humor and ginger. The Girls made a hit and were well received. Rose Fox and her dancing boys were bled over for another week. She is always attractive in her dancing costume and makes good. Emmet Anthony, the comedy entertainer, was a highlight of the audience. He was full of humor and was interesting. EDDIE E. DAYE HAS A FEW WORDS TO SAY. Eddie E. Daye, of the team of Dave and Williams, has joined hands with Shille Zeek and the team of Dave and Williams. They are doing an original act. They are not like the majority of acts, their act is all original, but they are from our own ideas and slash and cut up other people's acts so they can not use their own act after they are from their own ideas. This is true. We are Mobile one week ahead of us and used as much of our act as they could remember. Who else would want to mention it. Where did he steal it? He stole it in Louisville. You see, he is laying in the city, the person in the theater every night during our engagement in the city. So, brother, please let me work my own act. I will "give you", ALABAMA MINSTRELS We are now touring the picturesque part of the West; crossing the beautiful sierras. The view of Blue canyon into the gorge of the American river is great. The descent into Nevada and the ride across the wide basins in view of serrated mountain ranges is impressive and the crossing of great Salt Lake a marvelous sight to behold. So, with a capacity business and such splendid surroundings, the company jogs early along. Watts and Edwards, two featured comedians are a scream throughout their act, and when Hi Henry Hunt extinguishes his flames it really seems as if one had been gabing on his satanic majesty. The orchestra, under the able direction of Wallace Peterson, keeps up to the standard in latest overtures and selections. Arthur L. Prince, the pastmaster and exalted ruler of the order of hoop rollers, still continues to mystify his audiences with tricks that seem an impossibility for hoop to perform. This is Prince's farewell tour with the hoops, and he states that next season he will lay an act that none can imitate. ABOARD A. G. ALLEN'S PRIVATE CAR 999. Our ball team continues on its victorious tour. The team has received new uniforms courtesy of the Chesterville (Toxas) Slugeers, and outfit and outfit them to the tune of 12 to 5. They played the Idabel (Okla), team, defeating them by a score of 7 to 0. We were all visibly shocked on May 23 when the transportation agent, who died at Sherman, Texas on the above date, following an assault on the building, was esteemed by each member of our company, and we, one and all, extend our heartfelt condolences to our family in their hour of need. CAN THE PERFORMER LIVE IN THE SOUTH? We have now four theaters, the Pike, Majestic, Galety and one which I have not yet learned the name of. At the Pike this week are Houze and Houze, Gulfport and White, Hugo Turner (the musical tramp) and Seals and Fisher. The entire bill is a scream, and the manager is all smiles. Jim Wise, of A. G. Allen, Minstrel fame, is curtain puller, works the lights, shifts the scenery and fills in when we run short of an act. Frank has a performance, who formerly held the job, and is not a performer, says the job pays a good man eight dollars per week. Quite a fall for Jimmy. But we all fall. Can a good performer live in the South? The Galety, called the "Theater Beautiful," truly lives up to its name. It is owned by Yates and McCoy and managed by F. E. Snyder. Seals and Fisher have been engaged as directors of amusements, and wish for all of my old people and others to write me at once for the 23rd of June. I have recommended the Freeman to these gentlemen, so watch out for their big ad. We leave this week to go on a big fishing trip. CULLEGAN'S NASHVILLE STUDENTS. T. J. Cullegan's Nashville Students, en route through Washington, showed in N. Yakimi four days, matinees and nights, to packed houses, and during their stay were highly entertained by the leading ladies and gentlemen of the place. Mr. Roberson chartered three touring cars, and the bunch proceeded out to his ranch to a special supper. Misses Frances L. and Margaret Sanders, sisters, rendered some very beautiful pieces on the piano and too-lin, also singing some very classical songs. Harry Nay, out of many little comedian, entertained with his favorite "Next Week Some Time." His brother, Hurl Nay, sang a bass solo, "Davie Jones' Looker." Cov Herndon, our hoop roller, was married to Miss Petrona Cordova in Mount Vernon, by Judge Crookstan in the presence of the members of the company. It was the largest, and, by all odds, the joltest wedding party that ever appeared before Justice of the Peace Crookstan. The city hall was bastrown to a spot of and as the newly wedded couple went to their hotel, old shoes sent flying after them. Everybody is happy. Thomas Thompson, interlocutor and straight man, also assistant pianist, sends regards to all friends. Write to 1110 1198 avenue, North Seattle, Wash. care T. J. JACKSONVILLE IN VAUDEVILLE (By Gloomy Gus Smith.) Joe Golphin, the black Belasco, is at the Globe theater, Jacksonville, FL, where he is writing over one hundred shows, all said to be good. Now I have seen some of his productions, and I am amazed at the talent H. Turpin, of St. Louis, says Mr. Golphin is the greatest producer of the race, and Mr. Turpin knows as a gentleman that he is closed to one year and eight months of service. Leon, the great, is in Waycross, GA. He owns a vaudeville house in Waycross, soon. Gloomy Gus Smith is about to organize the company's of ten people. Watch The Gloomy Gus Smith Roseborough, known as the magic wonder, has invented a new illusion, which Carlie Nugent and Odessa Schafer at the Globe theater. Some sister dancing act, believe me.

James Harris, the drummer; P. Gault clarinet; T. J. Bright, baritone; M. A. Douglass, tuba; Buddie James, alto Jackson, snare drum; H. Anderson, bass. Our minstrel show is always a secre- tive show. We sing his songs, "My Man," and "Baby," Please Do Not Shake Me While I'm Gone, and is unkilling a hit with his song, "If You Had Asked Me a Little Sooner." U. A. Dauclass is cleaning up with his songs and dance, and he interlocutor is doing fine with his "Melow Melody." Perry Gant makes them scamam with his jokes and funny sayings. interactions with our side show are Mine, Clifford, sword swallower; Miss Mayne Glimnor, make her side show are Mr. Charles Tripp, the armless man; Mr. Al Mashiff, inside man and ventriloquist; Mr. Corbett, front door man; Mr. Carroll, front door man; Mr. Law Aranson, our popular side show manager, is a princess of performances, to have the tops up, regardless of the weather.

KANSAS CITY, KANS. The Grace Stewart Stock Company. Stewart. The Grace Stewart Stock Company opened the new Oakland Alldome at 10am on Friday and Beyond a doubt. Miss Stewart is an artist in her work and those who had the opportunity to work well pleased. Miss Stewart takes great pride in her company. She is a little bit of a maker like a dmaker like lots of artists. If the dressmaker likes her, she sits right down and Miss Stewart sits right down and does the work herself. She sees that everything is just so and ss it has been stated before her company is noted for both dress and fashion, on and off the stage. white and four colored acts, opening with the Kelly Trio, and although this act has the greatest advantage it never seen to the greater advantage than at the Central, each member of the trio and Tony Barrfield, basses and Wm. Hay, drums, the concern is this hard by Wm. May, the technical execution and hard Harrison Anderson, the straight man, is sure a stummer and his voice is hard to hear in front of an audience. Henry Walton, known as Face, the comedian of all comedians sure was a bunch of fun and he plays a song that can be said about Mr. Walton is that he sure is a devil. The prima donna, Miss Moore, the girl with the sweet voice, was certainly received by the audience. Her voice has won a home for her with her new friends. Then the chorus, "O You, Big Beautiful Girl," are hard to beat in looks, and they certainly have harmony in their voices. Miss Stewart will change her program Monday on an eastern play and on Thursday she will put on another play. On Tuesday nights will be a fun night, known as pie contests for which there will be cash prizes. The little folks are already beginning to find about Miss Stewart, for it certain Friday nights she has planned to have amateurs' night, for in this way she has started lots of her race into the show prowess, and she has been home, living in this line of work, Now, Miss Stewart does not bar either color in these amateur contests and she wants her students to do the same, she would rather go to an amateur she wan't to go to a circus, so come and enjoy yourself with the crowd. The Grace Stewart stock Company, Tenth and Oak-Kings Chapel. NOTES OF 101 RANCH. (By Sam Ford.) We are now in the Old Nutmeg state, and still doing a banner business. The natives seem to realize the real thing in town is to dress up in town with tents packed to the utmost capacity. The boys are all well, except A.N. Parker, our orchestra leader, who is getting all right, and we have never quit drawing that bow; good boy, Parker. I like to see the young fellows with grit and determination, and they are almost absent in the young performer. We played Tuesday to the Yale students, where our old friend, Billy Taft, our late president, and our friend, the students—Billie did not show up, at least in the side show. The roster of the annex band and mini-tenors—do keep the students—Billie did not show up, at least in the side show. We are getting along just like brothers, and this week makes us all square with the white wagon. Now watch the boys tump, do kaju, do kaju in the New England states; it cost him $8 cents to know it, but a bought lesson is very effective. All send love to friends. We are getting along just like Jimmie Harris and bunch with the Golmar shows; Prof. Wolfscale and bunch with the Barnum and Bailley, and all the rest out of old St. Louis, the Mound GLOBE THEATER, JACKSONVILLE, FLA Stovall and Stovall opened at the Globe theater, Jacksonville, Fla., and the act was a scream from the audience. Francis Mikel, Globe theater orchestra leader, has written a new song and dedicated it to Stovall and Stovall. They will use it as a double song. The director, who is also be erected in Jacksonville, Fla., by a white company. Wonder who has the nerve. Look out, Frank Crowd, the time Stovall's Kurt Levy 8. They have already received contracts for ten weeks. Open Oakland, Cal. Imperial theater. Dancing Carrie Nugent is in Jacksonville, Fla., knocking 'em out of their seats. She is some dancer. Miss Stovall is taking four and five bows nightly with "That's How I Need You." The Jacksonville people say that Miss Stovall is some singer. She must be. Everybody says the same. Before going to Jacksonville, I heard that you could not make it without smut, but I don't want to find a better audience to work to. We never ball the Jack and got them just the same. Stovall and Stovall. Uncle Joe Golphin says see The Freeman next week. He has something to tell about the performers in general. Nichols and Logan are at Jacksonville. Doing nicely in their fourth week. Another eastern act making good in the South. Manager Frank Crowd is sure giving the people a run for their money. Four vandeuville acts and many people in stores. How do you do that, Crowd? Mr. Sinkier, an agent for The Freeman, gave a six o'clock dinner in honor of the Stovalls, at the residence of Mrs. Armstrong. It was a very swell affair. Gloomy Gus Smith is in the city having off on account of a lack of rheuma- int. We hope him a speedy recovery. But he still writes his puns. A Word to the Up-growing Colored Performers. (By Ernest L. Wiggins.) As I view them today, I must say there are a great many colored acts on the audience that are stage that can be performed from the time they enter until they exit. Why? I am unable to tell. In my time I have had a very bad act, and I have very often seen a very good act bad and a very bad act good. Why this is I will tell you. Take a bad act that I have done to the audience, and deliver it in the best way they can to make a success of nothing. They work hard to please the public, and they succeed, for I have seen bad acts go on the bill with a headliner, and I must say that no bad act made the good act bad. That is why I must say that it made the bad act good, as I view it. It made the bad act good, as I view it. I can not see how so many acts can take on a success, but I must say they are good actors and deserve much credit from the public. No when I meet with their stiff necks and old reputation getting them by, it seems to be a regular thing nowadays on this stage, and I must go and spike knocking you hard! You should do your work on small just as good and hard as you do on big first-class time. It is better for the actor to go to spike. You must see at the stage, and others that are trying so hard to make a success, and it is very hard to work hard. You just spoke to sit up and take notice. I long to see you grow. So make good cut out. If, "could" and "should", I have to give the best thing to you. I have the rest of the men and women who have achieved things just because they believed in themselves. You are deceived if you think fortune or the fanfare state to hand yours on a plate. That is on the way she visits today. You must get out and rustle and hustle and bustle. You need all the money you have to pay. You need all the money you get to be possible—Plunge into the night, hit to left and to right, and keep crashing and smashing. Do not let up with your striking till things meet you like. For some reason I stop having like head to some mawling. It makes the world bitter to look at a quitter. Fate scows when she sees a grown-up on his knees. A few years ago, I was so tired of the time I was moved with wealth, full of unexplored lodes; why, the freckled-back toads have the sense to keep jumping—and here you are a sumping. It is too late; there's no such thing. It is too late that foot talk of luck, get a grip on your pluck, and buck; begin to arith and win. For it's great as it is, and you are a good one. You know who you know to be great at this date, and your cry, it is. It is no work of fate that has brought out this greatness. It's great to be great at the end of the life, because the hate of the man who has fished to be great without bait, and now say they will never catch up with my galt, as you leave them behind. Get it up. If you are a great one, I'd be great and be called up to date. So applauded and lauded, you're bound to inflate when you hand you the city and key to the state, and they say, help me. It's great to be great when your plans are laid straight, and prepared to meet failure, which often comes late. If you've been through it, and you're sure to find the mile you wait, and can go to your sleeve Gee! it's great to be great. It's hell to be great when you feel that the date has arrived when your greatness is growing. It's a cruel work of fate. It is then it's not great to be great when you're great. THE CENTRAL THEATER, ATLANTA, GA C. H. Coffey, who succeeded Billy King at the Central theater, Atlantas' most beautiful playhouse, is booked indefinitely here, being personally recommended by the King's eyes have been failing him for the last few days and he had to give up the stage. On day night's show was a scream from start to finish and consisted of two white and four colored acts, opening with the Kelly Trio, and although this act has been performed by the band never seen to a greater advantage than at the Central, each member of the tricorporate laureate. Ursie Josh, the rube fiddler, had to respond to several encounters, something unusual for a white act at this house, which goes on that any act with the goods can go here. Coffey and Bowman got theirs and although Mr. Bowman has been here with the band, he is still a favorite in Atlanta, who said classless won't go. Coffey keeps on writing and paring with the band, best Love and from Philadelphia, big and are booked indefinitely by the American Theatrical Exchange. And we have continued to use such acts, and one person personally recommended by him to the exchange. They must then made good. Coffey's white bicycle act closed the olo in fine style, doing the best all-around novelty act seen in this house. A "Mistreated Husband," staged by C. H. Coffey, was one big laugh from start to finish, and the title role assisted by Henry Bowman, the Kelly Trio and Love and Love. The manager is all smiles, having the best all-around bill seen in some time. Right here, I want to say any act from your office to treat your patients treated squarely here, as the managers as a whole know how to treat you, so don't misrepresent your act but write or wire them. You can be a manager at Auburn aveine, and they will take care of you. Come on down, the field is bright. You can come. C. H. Care will be glad to hear from his friends at all times and will do all he can to aid you so far as information goes concerning the time here in Atlanta LOWERY'S BAND, ORCHESTRA MINSTREL SHOW AND OTHER ATTRACTIONS WITH THE WALLACE HAGEN- BECK SHOW. The band is making rapid progress. Each member is striving hard to be able to play with the band, and to be able to play with credit in any band in the United States, as P.

CHAMP JACK UP AGAINST THE LAW. Gets One Year and a Fine of $1,000— Judge Said That He Was An Immoral Man pair or invalidate the testimony. Our race, I dare say, is in for this indiscriminate recognition—without regard to race color or previous condition of servitude. But the judge put on the loud postal in the first instance; he wasn't so particular about his interpretation when it came to (By Billy Lewis.) Our time most people are well aware of what has happened to Jack Johnson, the founder of the company. However, the matter will considerable discussion since the colored people, the most of them nothing but white in the wheat, and with some show of reason, the assistant prosecuting attorney said as much, a thing that is not governmental official, there are times when it does not pay to tell the truth. No: an individual can defile himself, lose his spots, yet there is such in the interest of the general public as sacrificing sentiment, prejudice in the interest of the general public as to leave out of the calculation. They are not looking for amalgamation, nor are they looking for the sake of it. It might be taken at their word. It is unpleasant to talk of what the courtyard could or couldn't do. It did just about what it wanted to do, but all the other courtyards in town thought all too much. Johnson was a bit "too fresh." Had he been a white man he would still have appeared unusual for that class of men—plenty of them. He thought money was the only whole show, and he bucked his paltry thouands against the sentiment of the country, backed up by untold millions, he was not one, two, three. This has nothing to do with money, but it had to do with sentiment. Johnson's best friends can not stand stammeringly close to each other, but other champion fighter in the world's history di do much to attract attention to him, unless speaking of humility, quiet, genteel way, impressing one as if he were a refined gentleman. His was a case where he spoke more politically than he could, unless that his actions were not offensive; they were particularly so. And as I said another, they were not offensive; they were taking him down all right. Only a few people, few colored people, will think Johnson, few colored people, will be impressed by his business, prohibited him from boxing, snatched thousands of dollars from him to protect himself in court, and in a hundred thousand dollars in opportunity, not to speak of the actual cattered away. Rather a rare penalty for the "breach" was $150,000. ... The court, Judge Carpenter, talked as though he might do his utmost for Johnson during the trial, one the prisoner be a witness. But the iron also entered his soul and he would not, although he could. "It has been hard to determine what happened," Judge Carpenter in this sentence, said Judge Carpenter in passing sentence. "We have had many cases where violations were committed with a fine only. We have had other cases where defendants have been sentenced to one or two years in the penitentiary. In circumstances in this case have been aggravating. The life of the defendant, by his own admissions, has not been Those who thought Johnson drew an easy one can just dismiss the thought. The prison sentence could have been omitted, since the case was not an an-advised, and the result of argument that was one at all. I say again, and without knowledge of the cases cited, that not a single one parallels Johnson's case. He is charged with sending money to the Belle Schreiber, of Pilgrim's defray her expense to Chicago. This is the reason that with whom he lived. And he cannot pay her expenses, mind you. They should, at least, have refunded the money. I do not think of defending his relation with the woman. The act of the court will not be the result of the interest of innocent people and also to prohibit a traffic in the Immoral business. Technically, the Schreiber woman falls under the classification because the inference is to be a material purpose, was transported for the trial. It would be a no-for-reaching such an interpretation would be if it were generally applied. Really, what might be said on the point would not be best. Jack could have been squeezed out of his萃，but it would be the result of the action. It would have been plainly shown that this was a common law wife, an acknowledged thing of some states, or a lover engaged or not engaged, and as such would have a right to receive money from her妻 and her intended or what not. More in- The judge said that back was an immoral man, as if it were the unexpected. The young man, as if it were the unexpected. The Nort Indian and the white people looked at Johnson in a wa ydifferent to that which they should have done. They have thought of him as a race leader, and Johnson is to be blamed for very much of it. He, when in his glory, insisted, going to churches, making starchings, giving the advice and such status when he was in the place of all the all along—a sporting man—with all of the fruits. One Morrissey, in the days of long ago, did go to convalescence from New York, I think, because of his pugilistic ability. John Sullivan tried the same gag; it wouldn't work. And in these degenerate days the hero of the prize ring is getting further and further from such, and similar considerations, long back had some of the feelings. He is told of being a Chicago alderman. He even breached a bit on the color line—didn't believe in it. Guess he's been converted by this time, that he'd better play in his own back yard. Of course he is an immoral man. How could the dear judge have thought other who? But this should not have we�tish? He said in the matter of a number of words. He made it very much that the character of woman was witness, no matter how deprived God forsaken, would not im $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. EEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous dolibity, lack of rigor, weakened strength, and I have back brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many warm and nervous men right now, and I have additional help or medicine—that I think every man who wishes to regain his power and virility, quickly and quietly, and a copy of the prescription have determined to send free of charge, in a plain, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who writes me for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a special study of men, and I am convinced it is the surest combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together. I think I owe it to my fellow man to come a copy in confidence, so that any man nowhere who is weak and discouraged can receive the help of a drugging himself with harmful patient medicines, secure what I believe is the fastest-acting, restorative, upbuilding, NPSTN therapy. I never devised and so cure himself from a sudden, quickly. Just drop me a line like this: A. E. Robinson, $381 Building, Mich., and I will send you a copy of my tender receipt in plain ordinary envelopes, free charge. A great many doctors would charge $2.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but I send it ent pair or invalidate the testimony. Our race, I dare say, is in for this indiscriminate race, and we are in for color or prejudice condition of race. But the judge put on the loud pedal in the first instance; he wasn't so particular about his interpretation when it came to --- All King George's horses couldn't have kept Jack Johnson out of prison. The very officious assistant prosecuting attorney put it right. The whole business was that he would have been world around. And not a bad lesson by the way. Only this: it is not up to one set of free men to tell another set of free men what to do. The liberty and political liberty of such a people will not be worth a "tupence" if such lesson are obeyed very well. The law, and not object to it, will not be suppression by those who before the law like themselves. SAM M'VEY STOPS BELL. NEW YORK—Word has just reached here to the effect that Sam McVey, the colored American heavyweight, stopped in sixteen rounds, and Dave Smith, the champion middleweight of Australia, knocked out Jerry Jerome, another Australian, in eightteen rounds at a show held by 'Baker's' stadium at Sidney Australia. PUG BILL MAY PASS. CHICAGO—Bills legalizing boxing in Illinois have been sent to the house and senate, according to information received here today, to the state's constituent committees and Senator or Carroll, who introduced one of the measures, predicts that ten-bound bouts will be permitted.

ENGLISH CHAMP IS LICKED BY ERFNCH. MIDDLEWEIGHT. NEW YORK.—Matches for Bombardier Wells, the English heavyweight, will be returning to America. Sporting authorities express the opinion that Wells' power as a fighter will be a result of his defeat at the hands of Georges Carpentier, the Frenchman at Ghent. Carpentier, a middleweight was whipped by both Frank Klaus and Billy Papke. Wells is several inches tall, and he was a middleweight. Wells had Carpentier in a bad way in the first round when he put the Frenchman in a second round and put him to the door again in the second, but Carpentier then began to play for the fourth round and put him in the fourth round.

Sunday they were in heartbeat after team 10 to 3. A few Sundays ago the Giants did up the team in a good way. He was a bit too steady for the visitors. Up until the eighth inning it looked as if the white fellows were going to be blanked. Schmitz dropped on the Giants and then during the drooping hopes of the Giants. Harvesty later on pounded out a home run, also. The white boys went to the Giants, the last four runs. B. C.'s piling up four runs. After that they simply played in self-defense, trying to hold the A. B. C.'s in mind doing any A. B. C.'s own score.

Weak Stomach and Puts Him Out in Fourth Round. GHENT, Belgium.—George Carpenter, the French light heavyweight pugilist, was knocked out by Bombardier Wells, the British champion, in the fourth round. Carpenter himself took the count of nine in the first round, but was again sent to the floor in the second. In the third round the Frenchman discovered Bombardier's weak stomach, and, believing power was lacking, plopped into Englishman. He ended the fight with a right punch to the solar plexus just before the end of the fourth round. The fight by rounds follows: 1—Carpenter came up, but Wells man with the knee in the face. The Englishman followed quickly with a short half arm right to the head, sending the Frenchman up, bleeding profusely. Round 2—Wells soon had the Frenchman to the ropes again, seemingly landing on the ground. Carpenter. The Frenchman was groggy throughout the remainder of the round, and Wells was soon in distress from a shower of blows to the stomach and the Frenchman sent him reeling with a hard swing. Round 1—Carpenter came up the freshener of the two. He quickly spot he continued boring in. He missed a hard right, as a result of which both the tightest and the quickest immediately and Carpenter landed a left to the body, allowing this with a terrifying right to the solar plexus, which floored Wells for the bout was scheduled for twenty rounds. Carpenter is a high weight champion, well known as middleweight champion of Europe and previous to that welterweight champion of France. The Englishman had a considerable advantage. THOUSANDS MOURN DEATH OF M'CARTY. Luther's Untimely Has Been a Blow to Fight Fans All Over The death of Luther McCarty, white heavyweight champion of the world, which resulted in his death by a blow from the iron lice of Arthur Pelkey, of Chicopee, Mass., after one minute of fighting in their bout in Calgary, and by thousands throughout the country, who have looked upon him as an idol. He was the best heavyweight in the ring, and was on a fair way to make ring history for himself when he met his untimely death as a fighter of the masters of the sport. McCray took on the bout which resulted in his death more as a trial for future fights than as a contender for his title, and when the first word of Luther's death was flashed over the wires on Saturday it was unholy. He was awaiting contenders who were awaiting the outcome of the bout, expecting that he would surely stop his man in a forked trunk, and the debt negotiations were under way for a bout with Gunboat Smith to take place in California on July 4, which would have netted McCary in his short ring career probably made more money than any otherighter, but not any otherwork, for the same length of time. Lother, after knocking out Al Palazzo in California in 1984, sparred with the actors, and from the start was a big hit. Besides sparring a few rounds with his partners, he gave an impressive exhibition of coworkers with lariat. He had a meteoric rise to fame. He first attracted the attention of the media, and was a local light promoter, when he knocked out Carl Morris at Springfield, O., in the sixth round. The time of this fight McCary was in the corner of Morris, but when he had seen the easy way, he knocked off the big Oklahoma engineer he saw in him the coming heavyweight champion and immediately took him in hand and coached him to bat- the site. Before the Morris fight McCarty had taken part in twelve other ring battles, scoring knockouts in ten of them. Two ten-round, no-decision affairs. Under the direction of Manager McCearney McCarty forged to the front rapidly, defeating the best p the present army of heavies, including a knockout over Al Kaufman, Jim Flynn and Al Palmer in easy fashion. Luther was one of the most magnificent specimens of manhood who ever entered the ring. He was most than six feet, and he was much more than a few best fighting prim. He was clear-skinned, with the look of a trained athlete. He was remarkably fast on his feet for a man of his height and weight. At the time of his unfortunate death, Luther was on a fair way to accumulate great wealth, but just 144 days from the day he won the white heavyweight championship of the world from Al Palmer, he lay still in cold death in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. In the year, who was McCarty's opponent in the fatal bout which killed Luther, had never gained any distinction in the heavyweight ranks. He was one of the many heavyweights to spring up recently, he was never known as a firm fighter. He is his and husky. He is over 6 feet tall and weighs more than 200 pounds and carries a terrific punch. On February 22 he met Jim Coffey, he "Dublin giant" and was knocked out into the second round after taking a terrible punching about the head and body. Pelkey's most notable bout was the knocking out of Soldier Kearns, the big New York heavyweight, in the fifth round of a heavyweight season on March 28, 1912, at North America Mass. He later deweated Sailor White on two occasions. On the second occasion was defeated in a ten-round bout by Jes Willard in New York. He won the former heavyweight champion, met in a ten-round bout in Calgary, Canada, on April 16, 2005, the former title holder. **The Illustrated** FULTON, KY. NEWS NOTES.

EVENTS AT HOOSIER CAPITAL "The Players" Score a Grand Success in Their Play, "Mr. Bob." (By Noble Sissle.) A beautiful audience of at least five hundred people in a cozy hall, a green carpeted parlor, exposed pairs of the stage bedecked with pains, through which the dazzling rays of the footlights were scattering their glow. The sweet strains of popular music; a sudden stop of the music; a quick hush of the rippling conversation of voices; simultaneous gasp; curtain being drawn; simultaneous gasp; a beautiful interior breakfast room scene was exposed; a few moments of exchange of comments; absolute silence, and the Then followed one of the most delightful evening's entertainment that could expect to be played in the play and a rapid action, a mixup in the plot that caused every one to pay the most strict attention lost to the character and the every character was well chosen, every detail of stage accessories was used to make the setting realistic the best effort possible. Even the window to the rear of the stage). If there ever was such a thing as an audience, it was equally divided that it was hard to pick out the star, it was so in the production of this play. Each one portrayed their part in the play, the course, there were some parts that were more prominent than others on account of their parts in the play, as far as the developing of the very intricate plot, were taken by Mr. Long (as Mr. Brown, the lawyer), Mrs. Valentine (as Mrs. Brown, the lawyer), Mrs. Stevenson (as Mr. Stevenson, as Philip Rooney), Miss Henderson (as "Mr. Bob"), and Mrs. Hendricks (as Mr. Kogers, the niece of Mr. Long was very good in the interpretation of his character.

It was very dramatic, the stage at the time worked the part up in nigreat style, which was very necessary, Miss Henderson, as Mr. "Bob," took her part well.

This was very interesting for the parents and insist on rather embarrassing for the teachers. Anne of Old Salem Repeated On Tuesday evening of the past week the Hallie Q. Brown Dramatic Club re-created the scene of the play. There was a large audience present and those who attended the first performance said that the second was better and more critical. Being in the play I cannot tell how the play went on the other side of the footlights, but on the stage there was a large audience present always present at an opening performance. Every one was more at ease and less lesson to us and we felt very good at the splendid way the audience warmed up. The audience cannot appreciate and that cause the stage and behind the scenes. On one or all of us so much amusement that we could hardly keep our faces straight, but we slipped it over on the audience and they felt the fun. It was an enjoyable evening and we feel that the public was satisfied. The club is under Harry Jackson's great credit as do his faithful protges. DAYTON, O. The Marcos Lost to the Ots Superbs. Notes. The Marcos, colored champions of Ohio, lost their first game to the Ots Superbins in a fast game played at the Ots Superbins. The second game, Peter, of Columbus, allowed the white boys four walks and three hits, giving the ma chance to make six runs in the first inning. Denny Anderson was then named the winner, and ended the game with the following score: Dope from Marco's Bench. Thompson, the ex-captain, Marco's forbearer, gave a three and a two bagger and a Cincinnati hitter. Encourage Dennison. He old wonderful hurling. Anderson, the third bassman, was benched the first time in the history of the Marcos. Why? Well, you ask him. He to your neighbors; keep them quiet and manely when upon the white's grounds. Evans made a homer with two men on bases. The team loses their first game; that's nothing. The season is young yet. Why Wilson got a hit. Johnny Carm is managing now. Keep cool!
