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.

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. 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.

It fought the intermarriage Dill that was recently introduced in the State Assembly through its representative, ex-Assem- blyman L. H.

Commencement exercises at Tuske- gee are marked features of that insti- tution. 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 miform, also other fea: tures, 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 200 teachers and instructors, led by the fameus insti tute band of fifty pleces, in charge of Prof. N. Clarke Smith, bandmaster. ‘The procession marched from the drill grounds by way of the Andrew Mem: orial Hospital to the chapel. The procession was composed of stu: dents from thirty-five States of the Union, Africa, and eighteen other for- eign countries of Central America, South America and the West Indies, including Prince Charles T. Wardah, from the West Coast of Africa, and Prince Lattevi_ Ajayi, from Lagos, West Africa. The procession repre sented students in forty different in- dustries 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, pre sented an impressive scene, which elic- ited applause from the thousands who thronged the passage to the chapel. ‘These magnificent demonstrations by way of commencements have been ja part of Tuskegee for a number of years. They bespeak its permanency land the hold om 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, im human af- fairs, and will not be dislodged. The world owes him a debt of gratitude for his remarkable generalship.

Yow Pises BESO.__ SATURDAY, JUNE 14, 1913 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 « noise like an expo: sition. Eggs are in sight, Bacon is nnrea- sonable. Bacon and ezes 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 com- pared with Republicans, Many in of fice would alarmingly reduce the ranks. Couldn't blame those corporations for kicking against taxation that dow- bled and trebeled 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 yel- low, 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 organi- zation 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. ; ee Discrimination is getting a bit keen about dear old Indianapolis,” Ie 48 be- ing said that at one of the big depart- ment 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 trve, it is something of re- eent ordering. It seems that our novelist, Meredith Nicholson, has got there In, spite of ‘the strenuous opposition. Nicholson is considered © rather high class man, but not long on polities or regularly. ‘The President, apparently, loves him for his faults and for the enemies he fas made. He will be iinister” to Portugal at $10,000 per annum. Fourth of July is a great big incen- tive to patriotism, may be, If the preservation of the patriot’s spirit re- quired the sacrifice of many lives, per- haps it would be worth while. And if so the family of the victims should be pension for such loyalty. But patriot- ism ean be preserved without a yearly sacrifice of human lives. And since it ean, our present observation with its death roll attachment is an abomina- tion, Lauisville is to have a theological seminary for the education and train- ing of Negro leaders. ‘The institution, which is by the Baptists, will be na- tional in scope, and essentially for the education of Baptist ministers. The movement is headed by such men as Rey. Dr. Parrish and Rev. Dr. Amiger, of Louisville, Ky. Many more promt nent men are associated with them, and who hail from all parts of the eouatry. Rev. J. R. Harvey and his associates who had such a time collecting their bass full of evidence against saloons ‘of the northeast section of the city that had violated the Jaws by selling Hiquor on Sunday were rather _cha- grined to find the superintendent of police otit of the city when they were ready to make thelr deposition. Cap- tain Coffin was sorry, he said, that the superintendent was absent. He in vited 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 dis turbed. Commenting on the happen- ing 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 require ments of the law, will not be allowed to travel on accotint of necessity, in a comfortable way, when willing to pay Yor such accommodations as the pub- ie iecnoptetionebenton say ford.” | It ts: indeed a sad commentary on the state of our affairs when citizens of similar walks in life may not en joy similar privileges, yet just such a thing makes for the race problem. Mr. Green's struggle 1s but an incl dent and in the right direction since it tends toward the freemen's goal a country with the open door. It will not be possibe, however, for any ono of us to do much at bringing about what is desired by jumping inte the middle of things. We will have te 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 revolution wholesale, of ou own conduct and notions, and practi ces of life as well as a revolution of thought and conduct among the other people. Many of us are prepared to enter om this newer life, the more acceptable condition, and for those prepared it fs 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 ¢ shame for him, ‘In this elay careass a eripple to abide.” Many more of us are not prepared te ‘make a contest when challenged for short comings. We are making double quick time all right, and in the years to come we will be where we should be if we will but keep the faith, and rur the race with patience. WHAT'S THE MATTER WITH GOV- ERNOR TENER? Governor ‘Tener, of Pennsylvania aid the unexpected’ when he vetoed the bill permitting the organization of Negro regiment, passed by the legis lature of that state. It is a rather bit. ter pill in face of the fact that there was but one dissenting vote in the leg islature, ‘The state of Pennsylvania has done some splendid things for the colored people. The legislature appro. priated $20,000 to be used in promoting an exposition in celebration of | the fiftieth anniversary of freedom. The council of Philadeiphia granted $5,000 to be used in entertaining the National Negro Business League which meet in that city in August. One would think that this governor's recognition pointed to an unusual friendly rela tion of the races. ‘Then again the Governor's known at titude on Iynehing, which he foreibly expressed owing to the happening in that state of a few years ago, caused him to be set down i nthe column o! avowed friends to the race. It will be remembered that there has been considerable talk anent the stew. ardship of the $20,000 appropriated Is it possible that the management o the fund has created distrust? 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 Hews. (By Cary B. Lewis.)

The American Giant, after defeating all comers in this section of the country, extended their territory on last Sunday City, Johnson hit a no-hitting game shutting out Coogan's players from the Empire state. Johnson struck out seven men all was sibly supported. He had fine control of his splitter and all of his son's record for the first of the season goes up many notches. The visitors seem to have attended and all of them were as years. The attendance was good, the day being very chilly. Mr. Foster did not don his uniform but watched his men from The Freeman press stand. Tittle score: AMERICAN GIANTS.

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. The last Sunday in this month will be flag day at the American Giants' park. The pennant and western coast will be raised on this day and a speaker of international reputation will present the flag to Mr. Tiger. Preparations are being made to have the largest crowd of the season on this occasion. Box can be reserved for this day. The Smart Sets made a very poor showing the first two games, both shut-outs, Johnson and Dougherty have the honors, and last on Tuesday, 5 to 0, Gatewood mitched. ROUTE PROF, P. G.

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.

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 ABOARD A.

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.

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 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.

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. 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.

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 $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.

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. The agreement upon by committees of the two branches of the legislature provides for the regulation of boxing by two commissioners, one for Chicago to be appointed by the mayor, and one for the remaining, the state, to be named by governor. 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. Todd knocked a home run and secured one dollar, the standing reward for the feature. Seldom did he do that.

THE ESSENTIAL THINGS TO GOOD PITCHING (By W. H. Levells.) GEORGES CARPENTIER KNOCKS OUT WELLS. Apparently Beaten, Game Frenchman Discovers Englishman's. 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 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.

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.

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!
