An authority states that the contract has been let to the Paducah Fraction Company, and in a few weeks things lovely and bright on the White Way.
With the thermometer registering 96 to 98 degrees in the shade, Paducah beer, that sole employer, a center, sells for 5 for a bottle, or 10 for a pint, and the company is selling ice for 15 cents per hundred pounds. It is said that the Paducah beer makers put their beer down to 5 cents every likely, by holding their beer to its former price, which was more than 5 cents per pint, so they cut the ice from 40 cents per hundred to 15 cents per hundred, it will make the Paducah brewery (which makes its ice and brushes the same sealers) (calers) "Fehr," who could ship this frozen water to Paduke daily.

The game broke up when Dr. Agnew and Steve Duessen were in the pitcher's position. the reason they quit playing was because none of the players could hit the pill while he was pitching, so to put a stop to the reason they quit playing down in a tub of ice water.

SATURDAY, JULY 19, 1913
MEMBER
NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS
‘ASSOCIATION
The Y. M. C. A. dream in Indian-
apolis has come true.
Mr. Bryant goes on his lecture tour
because he needs the money. Pretty
good reason, eh?
It has generally taken about a year
for incoming administration to reach
the colored constituents as it con-
cerns appointments. They are being
considered at present, with the assur-
ance that something is going to hap-
pen in the near future
W. Wallace Needham, of Zanesville,
©, was in the city last week looking
over fe journalistic situation. Mr.
Needffam is associate editor of the
Zanesville Advocate. He also enjoys
quite a reputation as a poet. His
contributions, which have appeared
in his publication from time to time,
have attracted attention owing to
their merit,
Dr. Booker T. Washington when
here last week proved that he was
‘still a man of the hour, and as it con-
cerns the,Negro race, the man of the
hour. His splendid success is owing
to @ superior judgment, and which
he shows on all occasions. It has
made for his world famed institution.
The citizens of Indianapolis heard
him eagerly, having nothing but
praise for his practical suggestions
and timely advice. i
R. W. Thompson, the well known
Washington correspondent got a col-
umn of stuff in the Bee of that city
Jast week. ‘The comment was not ail
favorable’ to Mr. ‘Thompson; _ it
showed, just the same, that he was
worth a column of talk. Must have
cost something to set up so much
matter not to speak of the necessity
for concentrating so much fire in a
given direction. So much ink is not
spilled on worthless individuals,
‘the white boys who felt it their
duty to rid Biverside Park of col-
‘ored people went up against a sorry
proposition. Among the penalties
imposed were ten dollars to be paid
to one of the colored persons attacked
and a suspended reformatory sent-
ence. The police and the court ere
ready to care for the next batch of
public disturbers. We are not much
interested how the privilege of the
park is maintained; just so it is
taiateined—that's » plenty.
The Democratic editors of Indiana,
at thelr recent meeting, refused to
indorse some of the acts of the last
legislature of the state which was
Democratic. Its just like that party,
many members, of which stand for
their conviction® even if it impedes
party success. And after all that is
the only independence worth while,
providing that it is based on honest
conviction and not theories advanced
simply to obstruct. Of all the parties
known in the history of the country
the Democrats as individuals have
shown most of that standpat disposi-
tion. Instead of breaking up thelr
party, as it seems would follow, it
has done the opposite thing. ‘We
think of the party now as the oft de-
feated, but always ready to reenter
action,
‘The Star, of Winchester, Va., speak-
ing of Gettysburg, said in'a recent is-
sue:
“So far as is known, the only bona
fide colored Confederate veteran at
the Gettysburg reunion from Virginia
was Levi Miller of Relfet, this county,
‘who has just returned " enthusiastic
over the fine time he had. Levi fought
with the Confederate Army in the
war, and his gray uniform is now his
proudest possession, In fact, Levi is
an ex-Confederate veteran and he is
treated with the respect he deserves.
‘He was sent to Gettysburg by the
Confederate camp, and he received
much attention and fine treatment.”
Levi Miller's fraternal spirit is to
be commended at any rate. And be-
sides, this is a free country. Mr.
Miller had the right to fight accord-
ing to his convictions.
It is said that Secretary Bryan has
to lecture because his salary is not
large enough to care for his needs.
After all, it seems that the big sal-
aries of English officials are in ac-
cord with the demand on thelr official
lives. We started out with simplic-
ity in official life, but we have grad-
ually drifted from our moorings.
Private life has been going up, and
at a rate that the fathers of the coun-
try could not have imagined in their
day. Men in public life cannot afford
to tall greatly behind their constita-
ents if respect for them is to main-
tain. ‘Then too, our officials must
tal those of a similar class of lead-
countries, very often. Spartan
simplicity i fits in on these occa-
sions, a thing that savors more of a
deggarly system than it does of pub-
ic virtue. Our country in this mat-
ter, should keep in sight of other
first class nations,
‘The Cleveland Gazette is still le-
‘menting the fact that the race is get
ting Y. M. C. A. buildings. It calls
them jim Crow Y, M. C. A's. Its
objection is far fetched. No one is
‘Compelled te attend the Y. M. C. A.
No one is compelled to attend our
churches, yet we do not speak of
them as: Jim Crow. We are. Jim
Crowed, as understood, when pushed
aside in those concerns that are ne-
cessities to us in our coming and
going of daily life. Under the cir-
cumstances Y. M. C. A's are oppor-
tunities. ‘If we will say that it should
be our privilege to attend the white
¥. M. C, A’s, we could also say that
it should be our privilege to attend
white churches, white lodges, white
social organizations of any descrip-
tion, The Gazette may hold that it
should be that way. But {t makes no
fight foranything but an open door
Y. M. C. A. ‘There's enough Jim
Crowism ‘to fight without attacking
the useful, helpful ¥. M. C. A, With-
out these magnificent structures
reared and still rearing the Negro
boy would have no taste of the
dream of life except as they see it in
the service of others. Our best homes,
barring the very few, are huts when
compared with our greater Y. M. C.
A. buildings. We should speak of
those beneficent institutions in the
spirit for which they stand—the
highest expressions of home and re-
ligious life. ;
THE COLORED CLEANERS AND
DYERS ASSOCIATION,
The Colored Cleaners and Dyers
Association, which was recently or-
ganized in this city, comes very near-
ly being an ideal organization it not
wholly so. It is made up mostly of
young men, a number of whom are
from our high schools.
At their meeting Wednesday night
of last week the young men set forth
the purposes of the organization in an
intelligent way, showing clearly the
necessity. Their ability as speakers
was an agreeable surprise. They
showed thorough acquaintance with
organjed - movements, setting forth
the virtue in them as protection to
the industrial classes.
In unity is strength, was the slo-
gan of the young fellows. They are
opposed to slashing of prices. ‘They
insist that they wish to serve the
public faithfully and the only way to
do it ix to get pay accordingly. Quite
a number of these young men have
their shops in the neighborhood made
up mainly of white people. This
means that they must compete in
workmanship with the white cleaners
and dyers. In doing so they are put
to the same costs. Consequently they
cannot afford to do otherwise than
stick up for current prices.
Instead of being opposed by the
white organization of the kind the or-
ganization of colored men is held to
be just the thing by it. Bither con-
tend merely for fair prices, consist:
ent with their calling.
A surprising advance has been
made within the last few years in the
shops of colored men. Some have in-
stalled high priced machinery. Claude
K. Brown is thought to have the best
equipped plant of any colored man in
the country. One cannot conceive of
what this enterprising young man has
accomplished until the plant is seen.
All are succeeding in a nice way, be-
ing able to care for themselves in a
fitting way and to give employment
with good wages to many assistants.
The Colored Cleaners and Dyers
Association should succeed because
the young men have the ability to
make it go. They have business in-
tegrity and thrift. ‘They care for their
obligations when due. These and
other requirements for successful
men they carry out faithfully. At
this time they are of one purpose,
and bid fair to coutkade 0,

Do you wish to reach the top?
Just keep climbing, never stop.
You can do it.
Work with the heart and soul;
Let each evening's daily toll
Find you nearer to your goal.
You do it.
What matter if the way be steep
And can't be won by sudden leap?
It may be chimpgy steady creep.
You can do it.
Are you trying to reach the crest?
You can do it.
Start each day with keener zent.
You can do it.
Never try to fathe the blame;
If mayhap you miss your aim;
Just look up and try again.
You can do it.
Are there hardships to o'ercome?
You can do it.
Falter till victory's won.
You can do it.
Never trust yourself to luck;
Face the the will and start to buck;
Tackle the fair, will grit and pluck.
You can do it.
Do you wish to sing a song?
You can do it.
That will help the world along?
You can do it.
Tune your heart in unison
With the meek and lowly One;
IfLove's the sweetest song e'er sung.

Mr. W. Benton Overstreet, musical director, has charge of the orchestra at the Mobile, Ala., doing nicely. Will play return date at Savoy theater, Chattanooga, Tenn., in the near future.
Gertrude and Thornton and the great Woodens were the two headliners at the new Grand theater, Birmingham, Ala., the Willey Hall, in Savoy.

Sunny Dixie Minstrels are still in North Carolina, doing fine and playing to packed houses every week. D. G. (D. G.) Taylor, trombonist and violinist, are still with the Sunny Dixie and doing well. Send mail care
A word from U. S. S. Thompson (Slow Kid) in regard to managers: I must speak a word of advice to the Booker Washington Annex, St. Louis, Mo.; Tim Wowsley, owner and manager of the Crown Garden theater, Indianapolis, and Lew Henry, owner and manager of Dudley's enterprise, Washington, D. C. These are all good managers that do manage and are much more successful in a business way, and I wish much success. An act that can do business with these people, I must say you could not find any better. I played all the time as a plenly.
EXTENDS SYMPATHY
TO MISS MARSHALL
Indianapolis, Ind., July 9.
Mrs. Elwood C. Knox.
Mrs. Elijah
I wish to extend sympathy
through the collumbs of your most valu-
able paper to Miss Leona Marshall,
who was assassinated by a man in
his own city. It is to be regretted that the villain was not
caught and severely dealt with. Much
praise is due Miss Marshall for the
columbs made. Herby retaining
his pocketbook.
Monday ground was broken for the erection of a large moving picture house. Smothers, one of the oldest residents in the city and owner of a large block beehive, will be in connection with her lodging house. It is to be completed within six or eight weeks and be modeled by the local community to be about four doors south of the New Crown Garden Theater. It is likely that Mrs. Smothers will be young, will take charge of the new house.
STRING BEANS TAKES A NEW PARTNER.
Butler May, known as String Beans, has joined hands with the dainty little girl of his own kind, who has been working single for some time. He has at last fond ad partner who put him in the spotlight. He is very dainty, and this is her first appearance with a partner, and we are glad to say that she is a star. Ms. Jackson has a sweet voice and her dainty work together with Mr. May's clever manner makes a combination that that beat. They are a scream in his songs. Managers and proprietors, look out and its the Freeman, as this team is with its dainty girl. They will play Charles P. Bailey's house July 28. Add a mail for May and ackson to

We are cleaning everywhere we go. R. C. Rolldo, our former stage manager, will again assist us in putting out some very clean and pleasing young, our young, and is very good to us and likes to see you make good and like to make you aanta cobret, is more than making good with "You Can't Expect Kisses From Me." Ethel Fields, late of the Dandy Dickie Moss, will make you Miss nightly with "When My Mississippi Miss Misses Me" and "I Want You, You." Miss Etta May Anderson has joined us and is making good nightly with "My Man."

HOW CAN PERFORMERS LIVE IN TH ESOUTH?
(Whitman and Lazzo.)
We will advise performers who wish to play the Southern time to keep away from the crowd. G. Sweat, a producer, a would-be manager of the opera house there, having once been a hamfat performer himself, following tent shows. He is what you might call a real "Grasse Nigger," good only for knocking performers of the Ofa.
Another would-be manager is George Freeman of Birmingham, Ala. He is known only from Tampa, Fla. to Memphis, Tenn, and only knows enough about the performers to be fairly jumping with the performers' salaries, as asked by owing the following performers: Tom Scott, Whitman and Lazzo, Eddie Daye, Johnny McKinley and Kid Ratliffe, Cora Thornton and Lillian Pharam, who are known as the Thornton Sisters, were tickets and $10 advance money with Geo. Freeman, transportation from Birmingham to Chatanooga. Freeman took the
tickets and money and went and took the booking for himself.
How can performers live in the South when such would-be managers as B. B. Joyner and Geo. Freeman are in charge of the houses?
JULIUS THOMSON, FAMOUS TENT
MAN STILL IN RING.
Is Yet Head of Firm That Has Built
Tops For Tent Shows
On Earth.
Some few days ago this office received a communication from that well-known firm of Julius Thomson & Co., stating that Thomson is the greatest en-makers in the business, and that Thomson & Co. were still alive and located at Cincinnati, Ohio. This is known to the people who made tents at different times for such world famous shows as Ringling Brothers, Gentry Brothers, Sells-Photo and most esteemed Knickerbocker. Thomson counted as one of his most esteemed friends. We have as proof testimonials that this firm is both fair and square, that this firm is both fair and square, and truly reliable, and so far as its connection with this office is concerned, we have a very good factory. Mr. Julius Thomson enjoys the friendship of a great many of our people, and most especially the leading tent show company, who wish him loner life and much success.

Geyer's Minstrels played here Monday night, and I must say they have some show. It is not a dirty looking show as we all know, but a clean. Every one was well dressed on and of the audience has a fine voice. I only wish that everybody could have heard her sing, "Find Me a Man" and "You're the one." I called her back three or four times. Mr. Peoples (Billy Kersands. No. 2) told me she was his jokes and "Frankie and Johnnie." He certainly knows how to put them over. Then came Robert E. Lee ("Rabbit") they called him, who sang with great success. Little Cat is great on the wire, and he is a great singer. He must say he is as good as they come, white or colored. He was Marsh Crags, the world's best contortionist and hoop controller. The show was good throughout.

NEW THEATER AT GALVESTON
TON TOMBED
HOUSE, NIGHTLY
Special to the Freeman.
ALVESTON, Tex., July 10—The Davenport-Sanford Stock Company has been playing to crowds since the company opened a theatrical theater.
Mr. Davenport has made a decided hit with his famous "Titanic Movements," while the team of Sanford and Sanford is doing justice to its past reputation, that
Miss coria Tolson, the singing Nightingale or colored vandeville, has scored a decided hit and has worked her way into the heart of the music world. The company consists of Mabel and Willard Davenport, Carrie and Harry Sanford, e.g. Tolson, Jessie Burney, Lizzie Thompson and Eugene Bell, with the orchestra under the direction of Mr. W.
This house has a seating capacity of upwards of 1,000 people, with a fully-equipped stage, complete in every detail. The proprietor and manager make this the very best place in the south, and will always maintain that standard.
The Billy King Stock Company, now in its third week, has sold 100,000 stock Kansas City like a hurricane, sweeping everything in front of it. Never, the company has sold more than one city where there has been a show that has given the satisfaction that the Billy King Stock Company is public at this house. It is quite out of the ordinary to see a company of this kind play, but it is still riveting the other. Well, this can be truthfully said about the Billy King players, who company opened here June 22 and
THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.
has changed plays and specialties twice each week and is still stiring the audience. The roster of the company appeared in last week's issue, so you can readily judge the talent of the players. The week the company was seen to advantage in two of Billy King's greatest musical works, "The Lyric Patrons." These two shows furnished bundles of merriment for the Lyric patrons, which brought better box office receipts in the second week of June 30. Mr. King presented for the first half "Thou Shalt Not for the last half," "Captain Gunn," a musical comedy in four scenes. The week of July 7, for the first half, "The Lyric Patrons," two acts, and for the last half, "My Old Kentucky Buckle." The Billy King Stock Company has been signed to play the Lyric twenty-five weeks with an option of twenty-five more. After a term of engagement the company is to invade.
THE PASSING SHOW IN WASHINGTON.
(By Ar-W-Tee.)
S. H. Dudley returned to the city this week. He will make Washington his general headquarters for the summer, while perfecting plans for his theatrical enterprises for the coming season.
Chicken Reel Beaman is one of the ranchers there, who is too hard to find it necessary to cast aspersions upon a leading Negro in order to get a laugh. There are some racial interests in the ranch, and he is one of them. Beaman should cut out his "crossing the Delaware" rag forwith. Otherwise his act is all right.
Béverly and Adams are doing nicely with their airdome on G street, near Four and One Half, and they are placing a place for a seating 1,600 people, and is admirably equipped in every detail. The benches have backs and thus insure the comfort of the patrons. One stove act will be very appealing by a big lot of up-to-date moving pictures. Russell and Russell were there last week and woman, full of smiles, is Russell a handsome woman, full of smiles, and Mr. Russell is a comedian of ability.
Miss Maggie Davies led the Porto Rico Girls during their recent engagement at the University of New York, named to honour life. So artistic and life-like was her production of Alda Overton Walker's *The Wonderland* that many thought she was Mrs. Walker herself. Miss Davis is a graceful dancer, and she acquires herself with and as a teacher acquires herself with a dance. She has youth, vigor, and is not afraid to let herself be heard, and will be heard of frequently and to advantage in the musical comedy world in the future. She is private life Miss Davies, private wife of the gifted New York playwright.
The ever popular Griffin Sisters are due here this month. They are under the exclusive management of the Griffin Sisters, a company of months ahead at liberal salaries. Not long ago when they opened at the Hippodrome, Richmond, Va., Managee Terry McCormack, their classy work and was delighted to find his house packed nightly, starting him out on a wave and volume to this day. It seems that the Griffin Sisters are natural mascots, for Manager A. J. Thomas, of Afro-American theatre, and the Griffin Sisters are credit of inaugurating the rush of business that has made his playhouse the goldmine of Afro-American theatre. The Griffin Sisters are engaged the Griffin Sisters have played over a wide circuit and have lately been cleaning up the York City. A picturesque "crop" adds to the scenic effect of their act, and their always lavish dressing number of rich gowns, etc., that rivets the closest attention of the ladies who turn out on mass. They repeat their former triumphs here, where they are at home, and have a host of friends.
Miss Gertrude M. Ryan, who has just finished a season as cashier at her company, is spending a few weeks here with her parents. She ran over to Baltimore Tuesday night to witness the benefit performance for the Provident hospital.
The Blue Mouse is dark. Fine opening thereof the right man. The theater is on the extreme west end and has a clientele all its own.
First-class artists never have a hammer ready for a fellow performer. Give everybody a chance, and help the brother or sister who is not as high up as you are.
Those Ginger Girls, Eileen King and Lotte Gee, will be at the theater when the host of vaudeville has been highly praised by the New York critics. At the Lafayette they carried everything before them, and the host of vaudeville has been widely commented upon by theaterers, who have watched their performances. Miss King and Gee are favorites in Washington, and it goes without saying that they will meet with a royal reception in their new costumes are said to be dreams.
Miss Even Robinson is in Chicago and is the feature of a trio made up of herself, Leona Marshall and a Miss White. In three years Miss Robinson has made a national reputation. She is a Washing-
Manager A. J. Thomas in a neat before-the-curtain speech at the Howard Monday night, complained that during the past week he had not taken of it by the professional booking agents, who had not taken pains to send him a line of talent adapted to the tastes of patrons. He said in this future by taking the task of bookings attractions for his house in his own hands, and hereafter the good people of Washoe and Idaho would be able to of a show he knew they wanted. Mr. Thomas will be his own scout, and will personally look over act performances, and things are "shipshape" at the Howard on each Monday night. Mr. Thomas will make a practice of going on the road and inspecting attractions that are likely to be brought to the Howard.
