XXVI NUMBER 30 THE NATION'S CAPITAL ATTY JONES ATTACKS THE NEW EXCISE LAW. Fourteenth Amendment and Principles of Personal Liberty Involved in Case at Issue - Will Carry Contention to the Courts of Last Resort. By. R. W. Thompson. WASHINGTON, @ D.C. , July 22—Through his skilful handling of an extremely delicate case involving the work of the Works' law firm, the District, Attorney Thomas L. Jones has set a high water market in the practice of law and again established the reader at the source the nation's capital. As is widely known, the Jones-Works law designed to limit the number of satisfactions in the District of Columbia, became operative July 1. Among other things, the satisfactions, barringing or giving away of indictments, are ordained that no liquor shall be sold to women at any time in a cafe, unless accompanied by an order for food, in the District of Columbia, or serviced by Charles Coleman for keeping an unlicensed bar at 1240 Second Street, southwest. In an exhaustive argument before the Police in the District of Columbia, Jones attacked the constitutionality of the excise law under which Coleman was convicted, and made such a profound impact on the Police, which heard him that the town is in an apop of excitement and the daily papers of Mr. Jones' expert marshalling of legal precedents to sustain his several contensions in opposition to the statute. The Times, regarded as the chiefly reliable source of information on marshalling, colored race, devoted a column report of Mr. Jones argument, and gave it the first mention of the litching stand of Mr. Jones in local journalistic circles that not one of the papers in speaking of his brilliant work in the law is a colored lawyer. Judge Pugh, in a pointed decision, held himself raised the conviction of Coleman, giving him six months' imprisonment; but Mr. Ruling and declared his intention to carry the case to the Court of Appeals and will be heard at the court if necessary. The case has been sealed to the Court of Appeals and will be heard at the next form of that august The Crux of Lawyer Jones' Able Argument In defense of Coleman, Attorney Jones advanced the argument that the Jones-Works law was not unconstitutional and that it was being no saving clause was void in that the alleged law was not a law. The Jones-Works law was claimed to be unconstitutional: That paragraph one, Section 9, provided "That not the person shall give you wine, nor will women give you liquors, and that paragraph 14, Section 9 provides 'Nor shall any bar room licenses sell, give, furnish, or distribute wine, nor permit any women to enter or remain in his bar room." It was contended by Lawyer Jones that women was clearly unconstitutional. He urged that congress had no right to discriminate against that women should have access to the bar room over to his side many women who do not themselves indulge, that this point alone invalidated the law. Lawyer Jones was based on the contention that the provisions in question violated the rights conferred upon citizens by the United States Constitution, which is not different from the inherent rights vested in citizens by reason of the Government". These three privileges and immunities vested in him as a citizen. "His right not to be deprived of his liberty and property without due process of law." "His right to the equal protection of the law: his right that there shall be no discrimination between citizens; that all privileges enjoy the same immunities, privileges and liberty, whether male or female." "concluding his eloquent address, Law Jones-Works law is one of the most common lawable, reliable and nefarious pieces of legislation that ever emanated from the brain of claiming to be the friends of liberty." The Coleman case is the first real legal settlement of the new law, and is regarded as settling the most points in the lower court. It is to endorse the intention to be finally adjudicated in an in-terior court and in carrying it to the Court of Appeals and necessary, the Supreme Court of the United States. Law Jones has the support or some of the oldest legal minds of the District, and is aware well that the new is opposed to the enforcement in its present form may involve the country some day in a seri- al male over questions of personal liberty. Lawyer Jones Scores in the Lightfoot Case our job is a hard and conscientious student job and goes to the very root of every situation. JUL 261913 haste to enhance the treasures of his own large library, or to spend hours at the congressional library, or to burn midnight oil, when the welfare of his client with us does not permit him to the court and never fails to secure the closest and most sympathetic attention the phenomenal success he has been practicing at the District bar for more than twenty years, and is going forward all the time. His experience as an eminent barrister and legislator, John M. Langston, and that he profited by such an inspiring association, is well attested the phenomenal success that Lawyer Jones has achieved. "Gray's" in a New Location. Hairdressers Organize. The professional hairdressers of the District have formed an organization known as the National HairDressers Association, which represents the interests of this important branch of service and to bring into closer touch the women engaged in the work. Offices are located in the District, President, Mrs. Anna Downey, who has a well equipped emporium on T. street near Seventh; vice president, Mrs. Janie Freee, president, Mrs. Caroline Tresser, treasurer, Mrs. Marie Marshall; assistant secretary, Mrs. Euel Jefferson. Regular meetings are being held and the inquiries of the Association will have delegates at the Philadelphia convention of the National Negro Business League, August 18, 2001. Membership has now passed the fifty mark. Henry Allen Boyd Is Here for Confer Mr. Henry Allen Boyd, corresponding secretary of the National Negro Press Association for a conference with President Thomas J. Johnson, connected with the fifth annual convention of the association, which is to be held in Philadelphia Angus and Bentley, and to be attended by Boyd and attended a session of the New York State Baptist Young People's Union, and held similar conferences touching the press conference in New York City, Brooklyn and Philadelphia. The outlook is bright for a big meeting, the "press gang" in N.Y. P.A. is the most widely advertised of the affiliated bodies of the National Negro Business League. While here Mr. Boyd is guest of President R. W. Thompson. Colored Baptists Negotiating for the "President's Church." M. Carmel Baptist church, Rev. W. H. Jernigan pastor, is negotiating for the purchase of the Central Presbyterian church at Third and I streets, northwest, of the city. The church, Wilson has attended most frequently since his inauguration. The edifice is quite a fine one, but the main body of the church is in a more ornamental ward, it is the desire of the congregation to build another structure in Mt. Pleasant, following its people. The neighborhood in which the presbyterian church is located, but a few blocks from the old Mt. Carmel church, it is just suited to the needs of that congregation. The new church is located on the week by the protests of the white neighbors of the Central church, but later information is to the effect that the sale of the church is being planned for August 5 is set for the completion of the arrangements. The Mt. Carmel people have an option of $800 on the property, and the congregation is to be organized. They are to assume a mortgage of $15,000, and to carry a second trust of $5,000, making a total of something $10,000. The Carmel folks say it is a bargain at that, as it cost the Central congregation twice that sum to build the church at the outset. If it does well, the Carmel folks do not go along L Street edifice to another Baptist congregation. The News in a Nutshell. Mr. George J. Dawson, a musical genius from Indianapolis, has entitled *Collation*, which he plans to present at the Howard theater some time this fall. He is also preparing for the press. He ranges not thought and purpose. Some of the curses touch the race problem in his own opinion, covering the range of situational and dramatic. "La Collation" has been copyrighted by Mr. Dawson. Manager A. J. Thomas is giving a series of fine shows, now that he has taken the booking of attractions in his own auditorium. The representative patrons of the Howard want. The new "talking pictures" proved a drawing card last week. The pictures can on one hand be improved by and by that a number of persons will be represented as speakers, each having a voice suited to the character portrayed. The Smart Set will rehearse "The wrong Mr. Presley" and New York's "Waltney's" "old stamping grounds." The performers will get together some time in August. The new company will have members of the "Southern Smart Set" of last year, and will work both the northern and southern circuits of the big cities and "cutting out" many of the one night stands formerly used. Salem Tutt Blitney, Homer Tutt Blitney, Thomas Ethel and Nina Marsh, Babe and Maybel Brown and Nettle Taylor will all have parts especially suited to the new comedy is said to abound in "limelight situations" for all who can do anything worth while. Harry Brown and Lulu Hodges made a host of friends during their recent engagement with the States' from Honolulu, working their way eastward from the Pacific Coast. We had a season of phoneme training and singing act, and are THE NEWLY BUILT MOTORCARRIER HOUSE. THE ATLANTA, GA., ODD FELLOWS' BUILDING. The Brown Sisters, Babe and Maybele, now doing vaudeville in the West, will be here soon to join the Smart Set, with the help of the talented artists of the national reputation they have won on the stage. They are clever and versatile artists. It can be asserted with safety that W. Calvin Chase is not a candidate for the Nobel prize, given annually to the greatest conservator of peace. The local opponents of the National Negro Press Association have been giving organization a very valuable contribution. It is the most-talked-about of the "children" of the National Negro Business League. A large delegation of Washingtonians will attend the sessions of the National Negro Business League at Philadelphia August 20, 21 and 22. T. Spencer Finley, after a successful month in Richmond and Norfolk, Va., is here, planning to start on a westward jaunt, opening a museum in the area appeared in some of the best shows on the road, and is a comedian of originality, and has rare powers as a real humorist. Maud Jones, in songs and a thrilling recitation, the Miner Trio, Montagus trained Cockatoos and Chiffon, an imitator, made up a stellar bill at the Howard last week. Attorney A. E. F. Paterson, of Oklahoma, is registered for appointment as register of the Treasury. Hon. J. C. Napier will return to Nashville, Tennessee, at the conclusion of a significant record and his departure will be sincerely regretted by the host of friends he has made. Col. Henry Lloyd Johnson, recordor of deeds has returned from the meeting of the S. C. M. of the Odd Fellows at ception and execution, yet so rare among colored people. Fifty years ago it is here that Bette Hammest that most of the in the whole world who could do what the contractor, Mr. R. E. Pharrow, has done in constructing such a monument of Negro progress is not there merely as a monument, though when it comes to inspiration I doubt if it does not serve the purpose. Mr. R. E. Pharrow is erected to such ends. It is there serving in a most remarkable and beneficial capacity. It houses nearby the larger Negro neighborhoods of the Negroes of Atlanta a business center and the Negro business man directing on the first floor are located Negro bank, a tailor shop, a barber shop, a cafe and two soda fountains. Forty-two offices on the second and third floors are the real estate and insurance men, while the fifth and sixth floors are given over to lodge meetings and insurance men. I am told those who planned and instituted such a structure long-headed. They see how useful such a building would be and Philadelphia. Boston has been selected as the seat of the next S. M. C. in September, 1914. Col. John indigently managed the parties that the colored employees of the recorder's office have been "segresated." He is corroborated by colored clerks and in a position to know the actual facts. Miss Georgia A.

HAS JUST PUBLISHED NEW VOLUME "A LITTLE DREAMING" Pays Visit to a West Michigan Resort— Miss Nannie Burroughs in the City— Tuskegee Band Draws 8,000 People— Woman's Aid Holds Meeting. (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Freeman Bureau, 3000 South State St., Phone, Douglas 8058, Automatic 75-233. Chicago, Ill., July 22 Special to The Freeman: Chicago is now talking about Fenton, a city whose race, whose volume of "A Little Dreaming" has just been published by the Peterson Company, a Chicago publishing company, four years old is the protege of several literary leaders among the white Americans. Mrs. Alice Hegan Rice, whose first novel was written two contents ago, writing from Germany, attributes high literary power to the son of a downrodden people, Mrs. Hegan Rice, the best type, and her commendation is the greatest attribute any Negro has ever received. Hannis Jenkins Jordan, a New York poet and critic, an editor of the Magazine Maker, not knowing Johnson's race, writes, "I will say at once you have the greatest discovering his race, she writes: "Your book will create a new order of things among your people." Buck J. Craker, editor of Correct English and author of several books and plays, by accident last summer discovered Johnson's genius as the highest type of his race and a true artist, so with the large heart granted her by nature she come to his rescue. Her through her "A Little Dreamer" was published: "Gife of Love To Me," would place him among the greatest bars of the age. There is a simplicity and a grand FINTON JOHNSON, POET. cur in the lines that elevate and sit the human heart. But Johnson does not rest entirely upon "Gift O' Love to Me," for such lyrics as "The Mallato's Song," "To an Age American Madness," "My Love (reprinted from the Crisis) and others, he strikes a radical note that has never been reached in the history of poetry. He elevates our women to a better position than any other black or white has ever placed them. Johnson's melody has been praised by critics and unite in pronouncing it marv- "When I die my song shall be Crooning of the summer breeze What a beautiful day I leaves plucked from the maple tree; On a couch as green as moss, And a bed as soft as down My dream of a poet's laurel crown." The Freeman As an advertising hdium is unequaled in any Negro Newspaper, going into the homes of a class thrifty, money-spend ing Afro-Americans not reached by any other Journal. Mr. Advertiser, take the hint and try us. Adjustant Anderson on Vacation. Adjit Louis B. Anderson, of the Eighth Regiment, left on Tuesday afternoon for annual vacation. The Assistant Counselor accounted for the spot, a beautiful bathing stream and a hospitalized home to ruscitate for two weeks. An invitation was extended his correspondent* but too busy to accept. West Michigan Resort. Your correspondent had the pleasure of visiting the resort the week end, the day before the wedding of the Secretary Dr. Geo. Cleveland Hall. The visit was a delightful one, there being a large number from Chicago and other cities, and the secretary calculated about 75 feet above the level of the lake on a cliff. The air is pure, sweet and invigorating. The visitor is met by a large resort company and driven through a mile and a half of shady pine, not a cottage where you are treated with utmost courtesy and hospitality. The ringing of a bell welcomes you to the dining room, where you never ate better and a more delicious dinner in all my life. Miss Alice is the girl who never ate better and a more delicious charge. You are treated as nicely as though you were stopping at the Blackstone. Then there is the lake for bathing, and the country. For rest, recreation and week end enjoyment, there is no place better than the resort where we were Nellie Cadoose, Mrs. Wickliffe, Mrs. H. H.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Mexicans and Japanese have it in for us. That's a plenty for a while. Hotels can't discriminate in New York after September 1, says one of our New York exchanges. It sounds good, all right. But we are from Missouri. The past year's administration of the Knights of Pythias of Indiana was so satisfactory that the most of the grand officers were re-elected, including Grand Chancellor Tiderington. Nothing like taking care of one's end of affairs; it makes enemies like it. Harry S. Cummings, the Negro councilman of Baltimore, earns his salary, whatever it may be. He has fought the segregation movement, distributing the races, to a standstill. He is now busy opposing segregation in the public parks. They can't beat him on logic. The Vigilance Association of Indianapolis is a new movement in the northeastern part of the city by colored people. Those at the head of the organization felt that something should be done to check the tendency towards vice. The effort will be mainly confined to that section of the town, but if the movement is successful a wholesome influence will be exerted over the entire city. There is room for the organization in Indianapolis. Tammany may be kicking on Governor Sulzer, of New York, but he is all right with us. He made it possible for the Negroes of New York to have a regiment. He made it possible for the Negroes of New York to have a demonstration by way of observing the fiftieth anniversary of the Negroes' freedom. He appointed a commission of Negroes to manage the $25,000 appropriation. He's a Democrat, but he's all right. He is doing whatever is possible that is at once good for the race and the general nation. James H. Williams, of Washington Ind., was in the city last Saturday, on his way from Kokomo to Anderson or business for the Masonic Lodge, of which he is State grand lecturer. Mr Williams is the well-known Indiana orator. He is one of the leading speakers of the Negro race. In fact, he measures up well with the best speakers of to-day. He is of good education. He has been a successful teacher in the schools of the State for many years. He will speak at South Bend and Connersville in the near future. These cities will celebrate the fiftieth anniversary of Negro freedom. The Tuskegee Band and Glee Club concert at Tomlinson Hall, last Tuesday evening, was a brilliant success. The great auditorium was well filled, presenting a scene of beauty and fashion that will scarcely be eclipsed. The band, under its splendid leader, N. Clarke Smith, sustained its reputation for tuneful, expressive playing, doing the classics, Negro melodies and transcriptions with equal facility. The singing of the quartette and Glee Club was a feature which was greatly enjoyed. At another time we will speak in detail of the notable aggregation of musicians. The anti-American demonstration by Mexicans and Japs, in the city of Mexico, this week, is not without some significance. It shows that we are beginning to accumulate foes, who, in time, are likely to become "ancient" enemies such as the countries of Europe know. Nothing may result from the understanding between the Mexicans and the Japanese, still it is not assuring to our tranquility to know that we are making enemies of our former friends. Our nation is great and strong, but at that it can be undermined. The Mexicans, as far as we can see, have no particular quarrel with us. It may be that they have found that the Americans among them conducted themselves offensively, relying on the protection of the powerful American flag. The American Negroes know something of a condition of this kind—one which is not easily resented, yet felt keenly enough. COL. ROBERT GOULD SHAW REMEMBERED. Memorial services were held last Sunday evening at Bethel A. M. E. Church in memory of Col. Robert Gould Shaw, in honor of his services and devotion to the Negro race. Among the speakers was Dr. W. O. Langston, of this city. He called attention to the sacrifice made by Colonel Shaw, saying that he was rich and of splendid education, a graduate of Harvard, consequently he was well prepared to take prominent part in the greater affairs of the country. He did not choose to do so; he cast his lot among those who so much needed his help. The speaker that followed greatly praised the generosity of the courage to defy sentiment in the interest of the subjects for freedom. He brought out the facts that Robert Gould Shaw was a captain in the ranks of his own race, the Second Massachusetts Regiment. Governor Andrews appointed him colonel of the Fifty-fourth, the Negro regiment which he led to Fort Wagner, where he fell at the storming of that fortress. He spoke feelingly of his fall, his burial, reminding one of the burial of Sir John Moore: "Not a drum was heard, Not a funeral note." The speaker said that his grave was that long trench so well known to the last act of battlefields. Here his body was placed, but not alone. Scores of brawny blacks who fell to their death were laid in this common mausoleum right alongside Col. Robert Gould Shaw, typing that well-known asseveration: "Here, princes, must be your bed, In spite of all your toils. The tall, the wise, the reverend head, Must lie as low as ours." But this was not the spirit of the speaker. He meant to show that as the gallant young officer threw his life among the lowly blacks, that the ending was fitting, and as he would have had it, if it were his fate to fall. The speaker said that he saw that possibility from the beginning, but he did not complain. No stake, no stone marked his grave; no prayers were uttered; no voice was lifted in song, the speaker said. And as if those who knew him—Col. Robert Gould Shaw—knew of him, felt keenly what his sacrifice meant, they have not been treated until song and torment full of his praises. Monuments are here and there. In Indianapolis a public school bears his name. Over the door is a tablet showing in relief the intrepid colonel leading Africa's dusky sons against the bonds of humankind. As he was cast down, so he has been lifted up, after the philosophy of human life for those to do right. He suffered and died grandly as another of which the world knows—obscurely, yet grandly. Those lives shall not he quiet 'neath the sod. The cerements of the grave are bursted, as it were, and they return to us. If not in the form we would love best to see them—in flesh and blood—they yet come in a more enduring way. Forever fixed are they in stone, bronze. Their doings become matters of record in our books; they live in our memory. O blessed memory! God knew when He installed that faculty that it was man's second self when he is not cursed by infamous deeds. To remember is to revere, to venerate. If there were no drums, no musical notes, there were none. We think of the burial of Abraham in the land of Moab. No man, according to the poet, dug his grave; no man saw him buried there. His memory lives, for all that, just as that of Colonel Robert Shaw, as that of Abraham Lincoln, as that of Jesus Christ, all of whom were devoted to the cause of the lowly and down-trodden. There is much of similitude in the lives of men who stand for righteousness as it concerns the humber millions. Colonel Shaw was ridiculed for leading the black, ignorant hosts. They were poorly equipped and possibly cowards. They were the great untried, and this young man of fortune and ability must be the sacrifice, as it was viewed. It turned out differently, as it so often does. The "mismit" soldiers went to their task, the reduction of Fort Wagner, with a right good will. The attempt was unsuccessful; the troops retired when all the officers had been killed and the force reduced to a shadow of its former self. They were successful in proving that they were fit for the field of battle, and therefore entitled to be called soldiers, and well worthy of the sacrifice by way of their gallant colonel, who plunged to his death as so many of them plunged to their death. THE WAY TO DO IT. Not long since a run was made on a bank by colored men in Muskegon, Okla. One of the stockholders became displeased at the management; he created distrust, owing to his opposition to the way the bank was being conducted. The depositors soon got wind of the fact that something was wrong. They acted just like other depositors when banks go wrong. They came on, stormed the stronghold of their treasury, but without avail. The old, familiar card was up: "This bank is closed." The bank closed all right, but with the avowed purpose of a getting together on the part of the management in the interest of the depositors. The substantial citizens also got together with the view of saving their bank and their town's reputation as representative of Negro thrift and integrity. We quote here from a special to the Kansas City Star: "Meetings were held in every Negro church in the city and the Negro ministers preached on the subject of the bank. They appealed to race pride and to cool judgment. They pointed out that to get panicky and draw out deposits meant to break the bank, sure. For the bank to fall would be a sad commentary upon the Negro as a factor in the business world, a thing that the Negroes could not afford to have happen. "The Negroes were advised to let their money stay on deposit and put in more. This had its effect. While the bank's doors were still closed one Negro merchant stood in front of it with $5,000 in a bag, stating that he was going to deposit it. Several others with big rolls joined him. In the meantime the officers and stockholders of the bank, all Negroes, were busy. "The bank examiner demanded an assessment of 100 per cent on the capital stock of $25,000. This was promptly met, and the Negro financiers piled on top of the assessment $75,000 more to show good faith. "With the permission of the bank examiner the bank was reopened the following day. Another crowd had gathered, but these were depositors trying to get their money into the bank instead of trying to draw it out. The bank had sufficient cash in its vaults at that time to pay every depositor in full, but the money was not demanded and the bank was saved."

The organization is the result of an organization established to have the apartment closed on Sunday, to prevent gambling and to suppress immoral houses in that section of the city. The police were appealed to and the colored people say they obtained the satirical newspaper to be mined to take matters into their own hands. THIRTY-FIVE NEGROES ARE BURNED TO DEATH. Trapped in Old Convict Nea Jackson, the Pretims Were Frigonge JACKSON, Miss., July 22—Trapped by flames in the second floor of an antiterrorism prisoner, the prisoners were burned to death at the Oakley convict farm, twenty miles from here late last night. The prisoners rapidly ate away the only stairway leading to the second floor, the prisoners frantically tore at the heavy bars that covered the jail window. No Fire Apparatus. Their screams brought guards and other prison attaches, but the flames thickened as they each time they attempted to liberate the negroes, who one by one, fell back into the flames and perished. Everything was in the fire's favor. The building was constructed ten years ago of lumber taken from a discarded pine; there was no fire lighting apparatus at the farm and the first floor of the building was filled with inflammable ma- Worked in Cotton Fields.

Pedrosa and Chacon, of the Cubans, were joking Green about what appeared to be a tripping, and Chacon waved Green off the field. According to the Cuban, Green applied a bit of pressure it by striking Green. In a minute both teams rushed to the field and there seemed for a minute that there would be a collision between police and park officials. Umpire Geckolel ejected Green and Chacon off the field. The Giants scored the Chicago Giants by the score of 3 to 2. Crawford, of the Chicago Giants, was in fine form and pitched one of the best pitches in the game. The Cubans only three scattered hits.

Avoid IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America. LOCATED IN Little Rock, Ark. This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America conducts Disability, Endowment and Burial Departments, and through these departments has paid to widows and orphans and beneficiaries of deceased members the enormous sum of a Half Million Dollars. Substantial Proof of Reliability Failures and frauds have been so numerous in organizations of this character that the public is naturally skeptical. We cite you the following evidences of our reliability, and same may be verified by spending a little time investigating: The order is now erecting a National Temple Building in Little Rock, Ark., at a cost of $60,000, the same being erected out of the order's surplus funds, and no extra building tax or assessment has been levied upon the members. This has never been heard of in the history of fraternal orders. This order has never levied an extra tax upon its members to pay off any kind of obligation, and not a single instance can be cited during thirty-two years, where the order has failed to meet promptly its just obligations to the people. In our Endowment department, the ninety-day waiver, which appears in most certificates, has never been taken advantage of, because the order has always had sufficient funds to meet its claims whenever proof of death is made. Our Endowment department is national and has been inspected from time to time by various insurance commissioners. The order has come out of each inspection with flying colors. As we grow older, instead of decreasing, our Endowment surplus is growing, as the following will show: A Lesson in Figures Rates per Year and Benefits Paid. Men's Department, $11.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $3 per week; burial, $50. Women's Department, $8.75 per year; endowment, $300; sick benefits, $2 per week; burial, $50 Children's Department, $1.85 per year; endowment, $50; sick benefits, $1 per week; burial, $20. The above rates include all taxes, local lodge, state and Supreme Grand Lodges. The endowment policies of $300 are graded and payable as follows: Should death occur during the first twelve calendar months, $100; after the first twenty-four calendar months, $200; after the first thirty-six calendar months, $200. Local Lodge Divisions The order operates in four divisions, and charter fees for organizing new lodges are as follows: Temples for adult males, cost of charter, $15; Chambers for adult female, cost of charter, $15; Fences for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Bank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nation-wide campaign for members and is allowing organizers the most liberal contract ever given by any fraternal order in the world. During the past twenty-four months we have organized 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extreme plan, to set up local lodges at the price of the charter fee. For instance, a organizer would see an temple of sixteen sisters at $2 each; that would amount to $120. His charter would cost $15, leaving him a net profit of $105. We are anxious to engage active young men and women in all parts of the United States to organize lodges. Especially are we anxious to secure organizers in Illinois, Indiana, Virginia and West Virginia, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Mississippi, Pennsylvania, New York and Kansas. This offer will not remain open open-nitely, and you had better write today for terms. Address all communications to J. E. BUSH, N. G. S., Box 36 Little Rock, Ark. Wm. Alexander, N. G. M., 504; W.

They played good ball in Jericho And better ball in Tyre. Then Nineveh set quite a pace, Some class had Babylon; But when they viewed the pennant race The Hittites always won. Mere signals, steals, or inside plays Just make the sluggers grin. Today, the ancient days, The Hittites always win. —Louisville Courier-Journal. Manager Abrams, of the A. B. C.'s says that many people are asking for games when that clubs come, the increased patronage does not justify the increased expense. A considerable guarantee is made to the players in ampsils. The Nashville Standard Glants were scheduled to meet the A. B. C.'s last Sunday. At last, the Glants found that he could not make it. He agreed to a certain guarantee; but he meant to make two games en route to Nashville for a profitable trip. He was disappointed in these games, consequently could not afford to make the jump from Nashville for the money in NEW YORK - Sam McVey, the colored heavyweight, who has been making all kinds of money in France and Australia, is following Sam Langford back to McVey is to cast his lot with Tom O'Meara, the veteran manager and promoter, who is already endeavoring to artifact a match between Langford and McVey. This strik note was picked up not long since. He give it for what it is $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO DAY-DYOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. I have in my possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakened manhood, falling memory and lame brought on by stress, amputated hand, on the occasion of youth, hurt or cut so many worn and nervous men that their own homes—what a burden! and additional men that I think every man who wishes to resign his power and virility, quickly and quietly determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, or ordered envelope to any man who will write me to it. This prescription comes from a physician and has made a special study of men, and is appropriate to the setting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put If the two Sams are coming to America, it's more than is generally known of financial trouble, which with their ignorance of the laws of Australia, promised to take a spell. Both of the men have made money in Australia, but they have spent it more than they have spent a sportorian stands until their chances of recoup are indeed small. But if they can only afford to pay for peaches. What their standing is there, or their chances of getting away are not known consequently their appearance The pugilistic status of the two men is pretty well known by men who keep track of their opponents. They have fought several battles with varying results. Sometimes Sam of Paris, won; sometimes Sam, of Boston, won; weight division, and everything else being equal he should be the favorite. However, the Tar Baby, of Boston, has demonstrated his skills in the number of fights won in the series fought. He is like George Dixon, who drew no lines because he outclassed his class. A number of fights have been necessary to fight beyond their class if they would fight at all. Their victories over their greater class opponents argue in the greater size. At any rate the sporting world anxiously awaits the clash between two勇敢 their way up inch by inch and not through the undue influence of ink and store the lost heavyweight harmony; the black men may no longer figure in the league and the white men they will win distinction as men of standing and ability and worthy of the sportman's consideration when the sportman is not so narrow as other men not so inclined. In spite of the elimination scheme they will not be able to understand what is due them. White sport writers speak lovingly of Joe Gans, of Peter Jackson, of George Dixon. Never is there an untimely word that can be used to describe the great fighters. They are idolized, so much so that one wishes he had known George Dixon. He stopped at the Occidental hotel, Indianapolis. I have walked and talked with Joe Gans. I am a man of the past, a man of the timed reference to them by the leading writers. No more ink has been spilled on white men that disfigured and lamented. There is reason to think that some of this regard yet remains, and for our sake we must disfigure and lament them to pieces by Mr. Johnson, but at that I take it that the condition is not hopeless. The ace of the game be beaten the honor of their class, except as it concerns colored fighters makes some difference; but perhaps not so vastly to cut them out of a group of men to carry out a studying audience when they meet to fight. YOUNG JOE GANS. Young Joe Gans, of New Orleans, knocked out Kid Gordon in the tenth round of the New Orleans, Gordon claimed the lightweight championship of the colored boxers. Young Joe Gans' manager will be the fighter over any 133-pound fighter in the world. OFFER FOR RITCHIE Canadian Club Would Have Him Fight Welsh.

Mr. Springer has made Ritchie a good offer, and it is stated that Willie is inclined to Leach Cross, by his decisive victory over Bud Anderson, by his leadership contenders, by his relationship contenders, Having removed Joe Mandof and Knockout Brown from his guts to wards, he became a sure winner over Cross by the Los Angeles fight followers, but the New York defense gave him a powerful Cross gave an impressive exhibition on the Fourth of July and is entitled to a lot of consideration.

Fat Tommy Burns Says He Is Not An Accident. SAN FRANCISCO—Arthur Pelky, now claiming the world's heavyweight championship, has been executed over the fast, arrived in California, the real battle ground of the Queensberry world, and has been no more than a few minutes applied to. Accompanying Pelky, whose real name, by the way, is Arthur Pelitzer, was one of the few people who wears considerable jewelry. He did all of the talking for Pelky, who stood in the background and kept smoothing back the embarrassment in finding himself in the big town surrounded by the men who were there, days when an important call for called a barge ride. There is a general disposition to look upon Pelky as a ring accident, just as the people tagged Willie Ritchie as a false alarm, and to mistake. My man has had thirty-three fights without having a decision given against him. He stopped Jim Barry in five rounds. All that he needs is the opportunity to prove that he is the best heavyweight boxer in the world. "There is not much doing among the heavyweights, the one-up fighters, but we are uped for a ten weeks stage engagement along the coast. The one man who will point a finger at the public will point a finger at another man we will be on the job. Pelikas will down to a mere 207.
