Binga Entertains in Honor of California Guest Business Men's Parade a Creditor le Affair - A Week's Social Movement in the "Windy City." (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Freeman Bureau, 3000 South State St. Phone, Douglass 8058, Automatic 75-233. CHICAGO, Ill. Aug. 5 (Special) Mr. Wilkinson, formerly of Nashville, Tenn., but now of Memphis, has been in this section of the country for several weeks on professional business. He is a general doctor at Provident hospital, in company with his friend, Dr. George Clerkin of Memphis, and his colleague Hammond, Ind., to Bethe the largest instrument house in the world, to make some purchases for his hospital, Maya Bros., for some special surgical work. Leaving there, he will go to St. Louis, Mo. where he will perform some surgery and his colleague in-chief of Collins Chapel hospital, Memphis. Speaking of his worth and work, Mr. Roscoe Consulting, the medical officer of the Memphis Sun, has the following to say of the South's distinguished surgeon: There are several colleges in Memphis where comparisons are unnecessary and often unfair, but Dr. Wilson deserves a place second to none in the city. He was educated there, partially at Atlanta University, and was a full man when he entered the profession in 1893. He began the practice of medicine in Nashville and there built up an important clientele. From the time he was educated in Nashville not been long in the practice when he started the South with a major operational operation on Lulu McAfee, who gave him fame and increased his responsibility; also his desire for knowl-ledge in major surgery. His work increased upon his return to Nashville his practice grew heavily, and he was called on to serve in major surgery. His work grew so rapidly that he was compelled to open a private infirmary to care for his pa- "Shortly after the Wilson infirmary was opened a disastrous fire occurred at the hospital, and the dentist is close enough upon the Sun readers for all to remember the heroic work done by Dr. Wilson for many of the uniformed officers. "Breaking the post-graduate school, Dr. Wilson paid particular attention to the patient, and the delicate formation of the wound. He gave a certificate from the postgraduate school and again returned to Nashville. Not long after this, Dr. Wilson performed an operation on a patient and put his name in the first medical journals everywhere. The operation performed on a dwarf that weighed but 45 pounds. Both the mother and child came. This is said to be the first case of a dwarf in the medical where such an operation was performed by either white or colored surgeon, and both the mother and child survived. In touch with all the leading surgeons, and oared less about being a 'race leader' about being a great surgeon. Most of the patients were treated with their time trying to 'lead' somebody somewhere rather than seeking the help of the Policlinic and Jefferson hospital at Philadelphia, he looked into orthopedic surgery, and gained new information. Police and gained new information. Police and gained new information. Police and gained new information. In company of Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville, Dr. Wilson spent some time at the University of Surgical Philadelphia, and visited the school in York. He sought the great John Hopkins hospital in Baltimore, and in addition to gaining a general knowledge there, he and talked with the school by Howard Kelly, the gynecologist. In company, Dr. Wilson visited all the leading hospitals in the country and talked with the great men of Canada. Four years, one after the other, found Dr. Wilson with the great Mayo Brother, the bishop of Mason, whom he got much of the higher discoveries in his science. His ability was recognized when he was elected a life member of the International Surgical Club of Rochester. A few years ago the Associated Press reported the news of the wonderful operation of Dr. Kelly on the heart of Robert Melver, of Nashville, who had been shot and whom the doctors took to take the hospital. All the doctors dissected a rib, and from the mediastinal pocket there came a half gallon of blood. The heart to the right with a slot of blood in the pericardium, the membranous enveloping the heart, removed the clot, blood, re-encveloped it and closed the heart. The blood lives to tell the story. After that science took him for her own. As time passed Dr. Wilson has had his hands at time the removal to Memphis is simply a defense to further serve his own people, who need a medical care and who get less than any other medical care for a number of years he has filled the first days of usefulness. By a standard day a great surgeon; one of the greatest in South, and as great as any of his race, a great enough to be counted when the race is counted. Mrs. J. C.

Milton Lewis is doing some gifted editorial work on the Indianapolis Freeman. M. J. Chisum's new venture in Baltimore's Colored Man." It is bright publication and seems to be on the high road to prosperity. P. B. Young, editor of the Norfolk Journal and Guide, together with Rev. Charles S. Morris, won the libel suit instituted against them by W. H. Thorgood, of Norfolk. The program for the national convention at Philadelphia, August 18 and 19, will be held in hopeful that all persons invited to take part will repel pitymply to the invitations that are now going out. The success of the Baptist Sunday school convention at Muscogee, Okla., was a big feather in the cap. The officers are energetic corresponding secretary. Mr. Boyd does not know how to spell "failure." The veteran associate editor of the New York Age will henceforth be known as plain "Thomas Fortune," the familiar "T" being discarded and the reason someone would try to himself. Mr. Moore will deliver one of the "keynote" speeches of the Press Association at Philadelphia on the 18th in the 18th for his subject, "The Press and Public Opinion." It will be worth hearing. Nick Chiles, the deputy editor of the Topeka Plaindealer, was in Enid, Okla., a few days ago as a witness for the government in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Louisiana, a gang led grafters for using the mails with intent to defraud. The local committee at Philadelphia expect to have the Press convention addressed by Dr. Talcott Williams and John Ammanaker in August, as well as by Dr. Brooke T. Norcross and the Walters, Tanner, Coppin, Caldwell, Blackwell, Clinton and other celebrities of national proportions. An effort is being made by prominent members of the order to develop the Old Walks Journal into a general newspaper, as well as to give services as the official spokesman of the U. G. O. of O. F. The matter will probably be threshed at the coming meeting of the subcommittee of management in Philadelphia. scheme, doing a lullabay, each member carrying a doll in his arms. This number was also pleasingly rendered. Violins were features of the orchestra in these conditions. Six of them introduced which were handled with considerable skill by the young violinists. The William Tull commission was a feature with its turquoise fissimoim and the rest of it when the storm is on. The Colored Prima Donna' waltz was a rather poetic movement, however, could have improved his opportunity. The program had had nothing light, ally, elegant, up until this time. The plantation would have been good grand. It would have been quite the thing to have made his "Colored Prima Donna', brilliant, captivating, something that would have been observed on the streets the next day. A dash of light and air would have greatly relieved a program which, in the respect of the able company, tended to the Comme. The plantation melodies by the quartette were pleasingly done. Afraid to come to town, the band. It is a humorous characterization, taken off by the assistance of Bandmaster Smith, who does a belated tip to the audience. Franklin F. Johnson, of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, is one of the most progressive news gatherers and his report demands by the white dailies of the Monumental City. Editor J. H. Murphy concludes that the report is a factor on the Afro-American Ledger. Nevertheless, and notwithstanding, it is the opinion of many sagacious newspaper men that a first-class race journal could be made a success in Wash. It is not, as it is in many men, it is resarded ridicule for anyone to assume that the 100,000 Negroes of dollars annually, cannot or will not support more than one paper. A new book has appeared entitled "The Conquest." It gives in a vivid and interesting way the experiences of a black man in the growing millions of dollars annually, cannot or will not support more than one paper. He solved many race problems by the application of everyday common sense will aid a black man who find it difficult to comprehend the difficulties of this American civilization. TUSKEGE BAND ORCHESTRA AND GLEECH LUS INDIA AN AMPILOUS (By Will M. Lewis.) That well-known aggregation, the Tuskegee band, orchestra and glee club, made its debut in July 22nd, arriving in the morning at about half past ten o'clock. On the former the organization played at the offices of the school, made its way to the new colored Y. M. C. A. building, led by Geo. L. Knox, Secretary Th. W. Taylor, and Dr. Ed. N. Perkins, who preceded it in marriage. The forty-seven youthful musicians of the school played through the streets. There was no apparent effort at precision in marching, yet there was evidence of good discipline no longer present. The young men masse. The young men were agreeably surprised at the beautiful interior of the school, even when the masse agreed that in this respect it was equal to the Y. M. C. A. in Chicago. The expressions of surprise meant something; these young men could, even with well-placed buildings, some of which are among the best of the kind in the country. They made themselves at home at once—sociable—agree In the afternoon the band made the streets in a short parade, the object being a state house. The grand office of the state house. The grand office of the time being. The band struck up lively alps on the street when returning, we were mount an accountant as long as there was something doing. The audience at Somerset. It was somewhat larger, one will think, than the one which greeted the band last year. The affair was managed by the colored men on one point. The concert was expected to begin at 8:15. It began at about 8:45. Many persons in the audience seemed amazed. Many were present. Some of these were seen pressed displeasure at the long wait. Of course colored audiences cannot make the time that is made by white audiences, and was a reason. But this audience was an exception. The band played as brilliantly as it did on its first appearance here, but there was no striking changes in the program. The first number, "The Tuskegee Institute," by Smith, was the second, "The Light Cavaliere," descriptive gave chance for advantageous display of the many instruments. Bandmaster was a master of the baton. Mr. Smith called attention to the fact that Dr. Washington wished the folk songs preserved by him unmistakable theme, but giving it at times a Wagnerian treatment, so to speak. The glorious outbursts of grand toones our audience was inspired. The audience applauded long and loud. The bandmaster, the band members all seemed to value this work, playing accordingly. This was the work of the pleasure of the audience. The leader has a good leading voice, making it a point to be distinctly heard. The song. So the audience was amusing. It was received that way. "Poet and Peasant" overture never fails to please. Bandmaster Smith is at home here. End of first part. The second part of the concert opened up with what Captain Smith is the best, the "Planet Song Cycle." "Dreamin'," a character song, was done by Samuel Barnes, baritone. My Rose, a blues solo, Myen, a blues club followed in pursuance of the scheme, doing a lullaby, each member carrying a doll in his arms. This number was used to create a series of were features of the orchestra in these renditions. Six of them were introduced, which were handled with considerable care. The "William Tell" overture was a feature with its furious fortissimo and the rest of it when the storm is on. "The William Tell" overture was rather pretty waltz movement. The composer, however, could have improved his opportunity. The program had had nothings to do, and the time. The things that were particularly good were grand. It would have been quite the thing to have made his "Colored Waltz" a part of the program something that would have been hummed on the streets the next day. A dash of color in a program which, in all due respects to the able composer, tended to the sombre. The plantation melodies by the quarterly Come Home in the Dark" is the final by the band. It is a humorous characterization, taken off by the assistance of Handel. The individual who is afraid to come home in the dark. Really this selection should be a rather brilliant composition and brilliantly done; but the audience, one will think, would have preferred something that had been a grand climatic of the occasion.

Childs has entered upon his duties as a member of the board of the National Negro Business League, is loyal to the Davidson-Bruce administration and will work in harmony with his associates, both white and colored. Dr. Childs is an able speaker and will be rewarded for his knowledge of the board of colored children, although he will be heard to equal advantage on questions touching the schools as a whole. He has held many positions here of great responsibility and has been a strong advocate of the people. The people are fortunate in being able to secure the services of such a broad-visioned man as Dr. Childs on the school board at the time. The small city of Howard University have given into their holes and pulled their holes in after them. President S. M. Newman is a master mind and a fine executive officer and the school is prospering in every department under him. All roads are leading to Philadelphia and the National Negro Business League will meet there. Secretary George William Cook is getting things ready for a big year at Howard University. Lawyer L. Melendez King, catching the "uptown spirit," has moved his office from 609 F street to the Brown building, corner of Eleventh and street. He is the number of citizen who are helping the Y.M.C.A. to practice fashion—by paying the members' piles of boys too poor to pay for themselves. W. C. Young, the department manager, paid the fee for the Misses. Young paid for three boys. Dr. Mildred Young paid for four boys. Dr. Mildred and Miss F. C. Lewis, principal of the John F. Cook school, put fifteen boys each into the association and paid their fees. Young paid for six boys, bids fair to prove very general when the fall season opens and the schools are in full blast.

Washington St. Lumber and Hardware W. S. SIMPSON, Marion, Indiana IS THE RECORD MADE BY THE National Order of the Mosaic Templars of America. 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, $300. 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, $5; adult females, adult females, cost of charter; Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, 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 extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. For instance, an organizer would set up a temple of sixty men 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 indefinitely, and you had better write today for terms. Mme. T. D. Perkins Scientific Scalp Specialist Madam T. D.

The Hawkeye held the crowd spellbound and caused them to say in loud tones "On to Covington. So Covington. So Covington. So Covington." The meeting, Past Grand Chancellor H. F. Jones, of Henderson, was presented with a bandoneon gold medal as a recognition of his experience and dedication during his four years of service as grand chancellor.

Upon devote its best energies to bringing the welfare of the Pythian fraternity. The supreme representatives that shall go to Baltimore are among the most important of the grand lodge. We regret that space will not allow us to give in detail each day's proceedings. We are also aware of the important happenings. We desire to congratulate the local committee and the good citizens of Paris for their generous loss of lodge, although we expected this kind of treatment, since it was the home of the old grand Pythian, Sir Knight French The grand lodge officers are to be congratulated for their businesslike methods and for their trust to their care. The future seems to be bright for the grand lodge, coupled with the plan ahead. Mr. Grand Chancellor H. F. Jones is at the helm, assisted by those veteran Pythians, J. H. Garvin, S. R.

ADDRESS OF GOVERNOR SULZER At the Gettysburg Celebration, July 3, 1913. Mr. Sulzer said: "My Friends: We meet on the far-famed field of Gettysburg; dedicated to the freedom of man; consecrated to the perpetuity of a reunited Country; and memorable forever in the illustrious pages of our glorious history. "No pen, no tongue, no brush, can ever picture or describe the scenes enacted on this field. "Gettysburg is fame's eternal camping ground—an inspiration and a shrine—the epic poem of the Union—sacred to the heroic men, living and dead, whose struggle here made Gettysburg immortal, and hallowed this ground for all the centuries yet to come. "All honor and all glory to the men, from upland and from lowland, that met here to do or die for Country. Their fame is secure. Their memory will endure. Their deeds shall never be forgotten. "Fifty years ago, Great Captains, with their men in blue and gray—the bravest of the brave, from North and South, that ever faced a foe— Boys' Judging Contest at Indiana Fair A Indiana Women at the State Fair THE MUSEUM OF THE HISTORY OF CHINA Farm Machinery at Indiana Fair T A feature of especial interest to farm boys of Indiana which will be held during the state fair, week of September 8th, is the judging contest, open to farm youth 16 to 20 years, the prizes to be four free scholarships to Purdue University. Twenty or more boys are in this contest every year, passing on the merits of live stock and grains, and it is a very valuable experience to them whether Indiana Women The women of Indiana, whether from town or farm, will find the state fair rich in attractions for them during the week of September 8. While the whole exposition, including band concerts, live stock, horse shows, races, vaudeville, machinery and general sight seeing will teem with interest for these visitors, there are numerous departments which every year especially appeal to them. The chief center of the women's interest is the art building. It will contain one of the greatest displays of hand painted china ever made by Indiana artists, for each year the large show cases in this building are Farm Machinery The Indiana state fair will the week of September 8 show about forty acres of machinery for farm use, including in endless variety all of the newest devices for doing the light and heavy labor of the farm, and showing through demonstrations how these machines may reduce the physical work of the farmers and at the same time give a greater output in fields, orchards, about the home, dairy and barn. No department of the Indiana fair approaches that of machinery in extent of acreage cow- NEW EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR NEW EXHIBIT AT STATE FAIR How Public Is Defrauded In Foods and Drugs Will Be Shown. A new exhibit of interest to both farm and town people will be shown at the Indiana state fair by the department of food and drugs of the State Board of Health. It will be made up of weights and measures, foods, drugs and dairy products, and will include a modern sanitary grocery and an old fashioned unsanitary grocery. The weights and measures will display many kinds of condemned scales and measures which dishonest merchants use to defraud customers, and through this exhibit the importance of every town having an inspector or weights and measures will be shown. The food and drug struggled here and there across this plain, amid the roar of cannon, for three long weary days, in the mightiest contest that ever shook our land; and in that clash of steel, and by the trial of battle, it was decided, then and here, that all men must be free, and that the Republic of the Fathers shall not perish from the earth. "Half a century has come and gone since that terrific conflict, but the intervening years have only added greater splendor to the sacrifice sublime, and a grander glory to the victory triumphant. "History tells us truly that on this they win a prize or not. The contest will be under the direction of experts from Purdue. The State Board of Agriculture and Purdue University held the first of these contests at the Indiana fair in 1909, and up to this year the prizes have been won by nineteen boys from thirteen different counties, and they have through the scholarships become educated in modern scientific farming. at the State Fair filled to capacity with this highly decorated ware, making it plain that the Indiana artists are in the forefront as producers of these artistic creations. Needlework in great variety, paintings, drawings, photographs examples of brass, leather and other craftsmanship, most of it done by Indiana women, will be shown in profusion. Throughout these departments the Indiana women find the fair fruitful in new ideas for better home making—ideas which are both educational and inspirational which Hoosier women can apply to their own homes and families.—Adv. at Indiana Fair ered, and no department outranks it in interest for farm men and women. Chief among the exhibits will be the tractor engines, which will give demonstrations of plowing on a thirty-acre tract on the northeast side of the fair grounds, and these gasoline giants will also show their ability to do the heavy hauling and other exhaustive work which usually falls upon the men and horses. Mechanical milkers, operated by electricity, for reducing work and saving time in a dairy, will be shown in operation. exhbit will show some of the frauds practiced on the public through adulterations and cheap substitutes, as well as methods of candling eggs, that consumers may guard against stale products of this kind. The drug exhbit will show how the public is defrauded by many patent medicines and toilet preparations. The Indianapolis Chamber of Commerce is organizing a state fair party of 1,500 wholesale and retail merchants, and manufacturers, to attend the fair on the opening day, September 8th. The party will go in a delegation, not only for a day of pleasure but to look into the possibilities of the exposition as a factor in the commercial advancement of Indiana. The party will have dinner on the grounds and attend the horse show at night.—Adv. field was fought the decisive battle of the War between the States; that it was here the flood tide ofthe wate of Union—of all that we are, and all that we hope to be—turned toward Old Glory; that it was here the triumph of the Stars and Stripes, over the Stars and Bars, saved from diss' uition the greatest Republic the sun of noon has ever seen; and that the valor, and the herosil, and the devotion, and the chivalry, here displayed, by the men of Lee and the men of Meade, will live throughout the years of Time—the heritage of allin the song and story of America."

Events have displayed, the world's history through, the world of trick. Whatever you say and whatever you do, Somebody is going to kick. When Caesar set out for a liberal sway, His own friends attacked him, as shown in printable material. And the best of intentions but prove to this day, that somebody's going to kick. If you journey in solitude up to the pole and plow through the icicles thick, You discover, when homeward you so proudly place, that somebody's going to kick. If you're poor you're unhappy as friends are, that somebody's going to kill. If rich, what made comments your pleasure will mar; Whoever, whatever, wherever you are, Somebody's going to kick. - Washington Star.

The National Negro Business League has been in existence thirteen years and at no meeting has a "point of order" been raised. It has a "Business League" in more than that name. Last year the colored people of Macon county, Alabama, (the county in which Tuskegee Institute is located), raised over $7,000 toward the support of their schools. Self-help is the best help. That man is to be pitied who besets his home and school by his official position he happens to hold for the time being. What will become of his "social standing" when he is separated from his government job? Those who have been complaining that the colored men of ability are not taking to the ministry as a profession should be cheered by the fact that Howell excalled calling last month. If Daniel Webster could have lived to note the cruel man in which his great name has been affixed to Intellectual midgets in Tennessee and elsewhere, he would have taken advantage of his family honor protected by some kind of a copyright. The marplots who got poor little "Web" Porter in that jam, will not be at Philadelphia to help him out. He will not be so sulkable next to him. He is young yet, and much must be forgiven on the score of youth an dinexperience. Says the sagacious and farseeing Porter in the "Bishop J. S. Jackson" is one of the foregone conclusions of the General Conference of the A. M. E. Zion Church in 1916. This is as it should be. That's what they are all saying. Zion should make it famous. The people all over the country would like to see J. C. Gilmer revive the Advocacy of Zion, the brightest sheets ever issued by the race and its reappearance would be billed with delight. West Virginia, Negroes are among the most progressive in the world. If you have a kick to make or mischief to stir up, you can get it in the washing up. At age 13 and 14, you might but if you wish to pay a compliment or push a cause that counts for human happiness, you will have to "dig down in your jeans" for the coin of the realm. Dr. Booker T. Washington again "made the speech of his life" at the dedicatory ballroom of the National Negro Business League Auditorium, and hear his element plea for the race! The friends of J. Fletcher Wilson, the influential organizer of the Improved Order of Elks of the World and the "live wire" of the Baltimore Times, insists that he stands as a candidate for the national convention at .atlantic City August 26. As, G. E. K., Wilson would be a "dandy." The writer does not waste his time or energy "hating" any one on earth, nor trying to get even with anybody for an appointment. He is ready and willing at all times to work with any person who is willing to get along with him. Isn't that with trifles? If the colored wards of the 10th ward of Louisville, will put up a solid front, they can land like Lee. It is the Kendall of politics; simply a call to the race of the Negro. When Opportunity knocks, he will address the address of Old South and party affiliations should all be dropped, and an open door presented. Bishop Walters repeated his former successes on the Pacific Slope during the sitting of the Christian Endeavor Conference and the address to "belmirner." It was in California that Alexander Walters, the spiritual leader and energetic pastor, made the record of being the Zion Bishop at Pittsburgh in 1892. George W. Harris, editor of the Amsterdam News, is the new Assistant Recording Secretary o the National Negro University, a versatile and scholarly writer and always stands for the best thought and highest aspirations of his university, to make a capable officer wherever placed. The newspaper men who are to be at the Press Convention in Philadelphia August 18 at 10 a.m. are to sample copies of their papers and let the convention get an idea what kind of sheets we are getting out. An attractive display could be made, typhing the advance of the Negro in the field of journalism. One of the peculiar features of the society National Negro Press Association is that all of the "fighting" is being done or inspired by men who are not members of the society. The men are broadminded craftsmen on the inside are quite satisfied with the way things are going. Malicious meddlers can "go hang," they say. Go to work prepared to do a man's THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. part. Dr. Booker T. Washington, dedicating the Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. said, "Weakens his body by drinking and keeping late hours. He must know that if he stays up until early in the morning, he will lose his job. Bear this potent truth steadily in mind. The Pennsylvaniaians will have "some experience in the application of the will." The $5,000 appropriated for this purpose is being put to the best of use and the rest will be treated to "the greatest show on earth." Wright, Bass, Cooper and the rest are "onto their job," and they will give an excellent account of their stewardship. Dr. E. C. Morris is the man of the people. He has had many honors bestowed upon him, and has always worn them modestly and manly. His name is synonyms for "the man of the Convention, of which he has been president since the memory of man runmeth not to the contrary, and he should remain at that post for the remainder of his The fifteenth annual meeting of Imperial Council A. E. A. A. O. N. M. S. and Imperial Council A. E. A. O. N. M. S. and Imperial Council A. E. A. O. N. M. S. and held at the new Pythian Temple in Indianapolis, Ind., August 6, 7 and 8. The program will embrace an address by the prominent Sir Eugene Philips reception at Ribbett Street street a, full dress ball at Tomlinson Hall, and many other enjoyable features. Dr. Algenor Brashear Jackson, as president of the local Business League at Philadelphia, is the right man in the right place, and he is proudly endowed upon him his whole duty in looking after the welfare of the host of visitors who will be there August 20-22 to attend the four-day Negro Business League. The less he is hampered by outsiders the better results he will accomplish. Col. Phil Waters, of West Virginia, is to be congratulated upon the prowess of his talented daughter, the M. E. A. O. N. M. S. graduated with honors from the Ann Arbor (Mich.) High School and who was accorded the unprecedented title of basketball ball team o tithus exclusive institution of learning. Maybe, in time, Col. Waters will be known only to fame as the fatter o f the brilliant Phyllis Waters. M. M. Lewey, for two years president of the National Negro Press Association, was a prominent figure in the press proceedings that body of Philadelphia August 18 and 19. He is confessedly one of the cleanest, ablest and most progressive journalists of the time, and his boast for many years he has edited The Florida Sentinel, published at Pensacola and Jacksonville, Florida, and at Washington, the national, industrial and intellectual life of the entire South. Mr. Lewey is a veteran of the Civil War. Really the most interesting feature of the sessions of the National Negro Business Association, and the speakers by President Washington. The plain man of business is seldom a natural orator, and by proposing to the president, Washington and other "quizzers" are able to extract information that would never be heard. Hite "rapid-fire" discussion is the very life of the Business League, and the practice that has worked so well for thirteen years will be continued at Philadel- Maryt. Myrtle Poster Todd, of Muscogee, Oklahoma, the handsome and accomplished young lady who made such a procreation of the National Negro Business League through her graceful address in presenting her portrait of himself, expected to do the honors for her state at the Philadelphia convention this year. It is pretty much the same portrait as Muscogee in 1914, and Mrs. Todd will be on hand at the Quaker City to extend to new delegates of a next year assurances of the charming ladies of Oklahoma. James C. Thomas, Jr., of New York City, son o f eminent business man, J. C. Thomas, of 134th St., was the only graduate of the University for license to practice law in New York. He was successful and was recently admitted to practice at the art school. He is an honor graduate of Cornell University, and has an enviable reputation as an all-round student. Mr. Thomas was royally entertained by Lawyer Thomas L. Jones, a leader at the bar of the District of Columbia, who will be heard from in the near future. George L. Knox, publisher of the Indianapolis Freeman, has done a wonderfully successful career, many years he has given steady and lucrative employment to men and women in several business enterprises. He has been the founder of the promoter of schools, both for the academic an elite industrial education of students, and for the careres, he is at the head of the Y. M. C. A. movement in the field with Dr. Booker T. Washington a Sunday or so ago in dedicating the handsome $100,000 home of the Association. The race needs more George MUSKOGEE, OKLA. (By John W. Williams.

"RAPID-FIRE" DISCUSSION AND "GUIZZES." Life of the Sessions of the National Negro Business League Will Be Continued at Philadelphia By all odds, the most interesting and attractive feature of the meetings of the American business community is the "quizzing" of the speakers at President Washington. The plain man of business is seldom a natural orator but is always a brave speaker when addressing an audience on his own affairs. By proponing leading questions and asking questions, he can extract valuable information that would never have come to him, one facetiously puts it. "The Wizard thus compels a man to make a good speech, whether he knows nothing." The rapid-five discussion is the very life of the National Negro Business League, and it is pretty obvious that finance to any suggestion that the practice be abandoned. The system has proven its popularity and worth, and it has been the source of the thirst wears it has been in vogue. and it will undoubtedly be continued this year at the Philadelphia meeting. **Business League in the Middle West.** The National Negro Business League is particularly strong in the Middle West. Some of its most successful meetings have been with the states of Kentucky and Missouri and there is always an "open door" for this great organization whenever it can be persuaded to attend. This year the league goes East, and it is the wish of many to follow it an denyjoy of its invariably grows out of its sessions. They are a perennial source of pleasure and profit. The coming of the national organizer in the territory to be "an event" the people to know can be done at Philadelphia, and they want to hear the facts from an authorized agent. New leagues should be organized, even at this state, and old ones should be rejuvenated. The national organizer can well leave to Philadelphia the local arrangements and put together length for the month on the Middle West. LITTLE STORIES OF SUCCESS—No. 3 Anderson of "Big Hungry." (By Dr. Booker T. Washington.) Thomas Anderson, as you will roadly agree, who expects his picture, would not stand much chance in a beauty contest, but when it comes to contesting for the title, he always carries off the blue ribbon. Some fifteen years ago Anderson attended the Bible School Department of the University of Alabama, and all the institutions of all the students in the Bible School is that they must work on the farm and thus acquire some knowledge of science, and he acquires Anderson for not impress his teacher as likely to start the world with his preaching and his career after graduating proved that his impressions were correct. And graduate students at the School and his hand at preaching for a while he decided that the "P. C." call for him meant "Pow Corn," and this he pro- About five miles from Tuskegee Institute the land was so poor that it was could be raised upon it. The people who could there hardly ever raised enough to eat and so the district came to be known as the Hungry Farm. A number of Northern philanthropists decided to buy a tract of land and sell it off in small lots to Negroes. The land in Hungry was so poor for sand dirt, that four thousand acres were purchased and in small lots were colored farmers. Every one said that the project would be because of the farm, which, he added, would be better settled on the sandy hills. One of the farmers to locate there was Thomas Anderson, in his own words he had "nothing but a farm, a soil, a year-old boy." His credit, however, was good and he bought forty acres of land on time. Within five years by constant, careful work, he built for the forty acres of land, three good mules, three cows and $300 worth of farm implements. In one year with one mule, raised more than $600 worth of farm products. In 1911 the state of Alabama offered farmers, white or black, who would raise the largest amount of corn on one acre of land. Anderson, although living on the land in his county, decided that he would enter the contest. By raising sixty-five bushels of corn for $25, he was awarded prizes of $2.50 for each prize of prizes at the county fair. Altoona brought him $55 in prize money. In other years he has been equally successful. In 1912 he received for which he has entered into competition. What Anderson has done on some of the poorest and most poor farmers he can be biased to every section of the South, if the Negro farmers will use the improved methods of farming, white or black, of agriculture of the Tuskegee Institute.

JUST A FEW DOTS, THAT'S ALL Great Men Fallen Since the Last General Conference—A Most Wonderful Woman—Our Church Journals and the Articles Apearing—Some General Notes—One or Two Destiny Men. (By J. G. Robinson, D. D.) Newport, Ark. When we left Kansas, we drove to Chicago. Moses B. Salter and Wm. B. Derrick, Drs. J. T. S. White, H. K. Solomon, J. Allen Graves and T. N. M. Smith were all living, and were forceful elements in our connection life. Today they are all dead. Moses B. Salter and Wm. B. Derrick are falling, and one by one the ranks are being reified with worthy and competent leaders, and T. N. M. Smith goes on. But as we contemplate the lives and works of these great and good men, we cannot but wonder when they will be we have as nobly performed our tasks as we have as nobly performed our tasks as we can answer to the call and receive one of the 'Master and go home to rest. The Christian Recorder of July 17 had several good editorials, and especially was the editorial, "Building Up and Tearing Down," one that had taken him himself high as a writer in that one little editorial. No question about it, the men for the most part who have been building up the country are relegated to the role of the place placed over great charges that have been built up by men who sacrificed and toiled, and they are pieces are placed on the ground of destruction. The place have had built up a great spirit of evangelism, and the modern "unconverted," unregenerated pastor has in a great great measure reared and reared in their stead "places" of dead perfalum and cold ritualism, where once burned the blazes started by Wesley. Dr. Wright should again speak, and speak out in the open, the seed and when the landmarks of the church are held up before us, we are getting a healthy journalism that will help build up the faith that God will be praised for the editors mentioned. Dr. G. W. Allen has called the writers down about writing about men to fill the great office of bishop. I have only to say, "We need to be faithful before the church, the great writers of the church, the writers of the church kept their names and efforts continually before the people, thus giving the church a sense of the importance, ability and fitness of the men. But we have to have to wait and 'edge' in a name now and then. Speaking of the C. P. A. department, if the matter is like the explanation given in the earlier edition of the Eastern Recorder of the 17th of July, then the men to do is to wipe up the C. P. A. business, and Dr. Lewis or someone else work out a plan of how to get any reference to the old C. P. A. policies, poor preachers who had their policies in Kansas City cannot get into full benefits of the church. But it will be best to have them take out policies upon application. If not, we are in confusion that will never be remedied. IN OLD PADUKE.

MISSION RALLY AND EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION The Good Work by Bishop Phillips. (By D. Wellington Berry.) NASHVILLE, Teen—Bishop C. H. Phillips, of the Fifth Episcopal District of the Church, has raised the sum of $25,000 in missions, receiving a little more than one cent from each of the 7,500 members, in one cent each for year of freedom of the race, in a missionary rally and emancipation celebration held by the C. M. E. If was one of the most representative gatherings held by church members, Katie and her husband, David, attended in many months, and the week's program consisted of addresses thoroughly in keeping with the occasion of the first anniversary of the church, the colored Americans. Nashville did herself proud in entertaining the visitors, and the one read by David was a memoir of the monstrous reception tendered the delegates and many local guests by the bishop and his wife. A residence, one of the prettiest and most exquisite homes owned by an Afro-American in Nashville, and perilips in the en Nivalyay of a friendly nature was keen among the presiding elders, ministers and trustees, the bishop having inaugurated a contest offering to the presiding elder who raised the largest amount a prize in money for the bishop. The bishop was also to be crowned "money king" of the district. This same offer was also made to the ministers, the most important annual conference of the bishop. The successful presiding elder was Rev. D. A. Walker, of Cleveland, Ohio, from the Kentucky county to complete the annual conference, total expenditure $900. The successful ministers were: Rev. J. L. Thompson, of Carlisle, Ky., and Rev. K. Y. Kearney, of Tennessee conference, Revs. L. H. Jones, of Chattanooga, and T. H. C. Landon, of Clarksville, felicited that the meetings were delivered by prominent churchmen during the meeting, touching upon the wonderful work done by the C. M. E. church. An entire session was given over to the discussion of the race problem and the fact was brought out by the bishop. Another bondage that has made the progress that the colored race has made within fifty years, the period in which the race was held. Another session was given over to the women of the church and was known as "Woman's Night," and was one of the most held. This session was presided over by Miss Lady Emma Phillips, daughter of the bishop. Miss Phillips was also hostess at the museum where she was residence of the bishop. Gov. B. W. Hooper welcomed the delegates to Nashville on the occasion of the welcome program being held by the bishop who was out of the city, delegated this duty to Hon. A. N.

NOTES OF KANSAS CITY, MO. Special to THE FREEMAN WILL CELEBRATE THE FIFTY YEARS OF FREEDOM Plantation Melodies and Jubilee Songs to Be Features. NASHVILLE, Teen.—Plantation melodies and jubilee songs will feature very large numbers of songs coming session of the National Baptist Convention, that is to be held in this city in September. The appropriateness of this material will vary, but very fitting to blend with the "Fifty Years of Freedom" or "Holicious Jubilee" that will be in connection with the first discarded, nor will there be any reflection cast upon the originators of what has often been said to be the only real American song. The more elaborate lot of the first time in fifty years, or since Abraham Lincoln signed the emancipation proclamation, the more elaborate lot of songs that have not been sung since the days of slavery. The national chorister is already busy at work, selecting such music from the works of the composers that can easily be mastered by the chorus as well as by the convention proper. All of the songs are being selected with a view to making the songs singsting during the week of the jubilee. Fraternal organizations and missionary societies are to have special days out at the "Fifty Years of Freedom" in this city in September from the His table upon such days, will be appropriate and convenient for them. The missionary organizations are urged to do likewise. The plan is to have all of the missionary organizations, like the Odd Fellows, Masons, Elks, Benevolence, Knight Templar, K, of P, and U. B. P., select their days. The visiting delegations who will be here with them greetings and add much to occasion. A large number of them are followed for the religious bodies, thus doing away almost entirely with the denominational jubilee are concerned. The success of the movement is already assured of the leading fraternal men of this and other states.

He was somewhat of a philosopher. The visitors this week speak in glorious terms of our new Y. M. C. A. building. They tell us we should be proud of it, and we are. Ain't we colored folk of Indianapolis going to have no Enamulation celebration and fifty years of free dom demonstration? Everybody's doin' it, but us. Dr. Booker T. Washington will be one of the lecturers at Harvard University. Quite an honor. Perhaps the most distinguished that has befallen any Negro in the country. Talking about fraternal feeling between colored and white people, you should have been at the municipal picnic. There was not even a cross looking glance. Colored boys and girls, men and women took part in most of the contests. They were treated fine. Bananas are too good to be taxed. The only trouble is that a fellow is likely to get foundered on them. But even when you get on too much they just make one feel sluggish and lazy like the climate effects from mwwhich they come. Some foods insist on manifesting their objection most violently to coexistence in large quantities. So when you do that, they just simply gorge every part of your being, giving that stuff feeling, causing a rebellion against them for weeks to come. Over-eating does not make them any less good. As a food for the young, for the poor, perhaps nothing answers quite so well in the way of fruits. THE LATE MR. LEE OF CHICAGO William Henry Lee, of the publishing firm of Laird and Lee of Chicago, now deceased, is coming in for considerable discussion because it has turned out that he was a Negro. Really, the great to do about him is because his fortune amounting to about $200,000 goes to the state of Illinois. He made no will, nor had he any relatives that he knew of; the reason for the escheatment of his estate. Mr. Lee, according to his business associates, led a quiet and rather unerful life. The accumulation of such a fortune may be considered rather eventful for a colored man. But he did not have the colored man's handicap. He was white enough to pass without being classed to his disadvantage. It is said that he did not deny his color, but did not flaunt it, knowing what that meant to him. He did not move among Negroes at all, and so far as it is known, did not associate with white people, except in a casual way. Some of our race publications are saying hard things about Mr. Lee, because his money was not distributed within the race. The criticism is far fetched. To all intents and purposes Mr. Lee was a white man. He had the preponderance of white blood, and only by legal fiction could he have been classed other than white. What he accumulated was mainly from white people. He was not known as Nazi, but this is his action by way of disposing of his estate is not a very great matter of concern to us. The very ugly part of the criticism of Mr. Lee is that it makes for hard and fast race lines, the very thing so opposed by the race. Mr. Lee insisted on being a man, merely a man, just what we all want to be when clothed in our right minds. But the publications referred to insisted that he should have declared himself as a Negro, at least when he got ready to die. Had he declared himself he would not have had a white man's chance. When he came to die he had to be treated sufficiently to bequeath it his estate. He was just a man, choosing his own way to conduct his manhood. His money reverts to the general public which gave it to him. He was obi- gated to the public only. As we see it, he was most consistent. GABE E. PARKER NOMINATED FOR REMARK OF THE TRABAIRY President Wilson evidently tried to pass something to the colored race in the name of the Democracy when he nominated Adam E. Patterson, of Oklahoma, a few days ago, for the register of the treasury. But he was driven fro mhis position by the protest of the rabid anti-Negro members of Congress and prominent men of that section. In compliance with the demand the President withdrew the name of Mr. Patterson, naming in his stead Gabe E. Parker, a Choctaw Indian. Mr. Parker had the indorsement of both Senators from that state, Oklahoma, also that of the delegation in the lower house. Under the circumstances, the unanimous indorsement of Mr. Parker it is strange that Mr. Patterson was even given consideration. At any rate Mr. Wilson has proven friendly; he has done what he promised. The President is merely President and not the whole show. Lack of grit may be charged up to him, but really he had no chance to exhibit the Roosevelt tenacity. COLORED WAITERS REFUSE TO SERVE A COLORED WOMAN. Colored waiters on the Union Pacific passenger train, recently refused to serve a young colored woman enroute from California to Chicago. It seems that the waiters had no instruction to refuse serving any one who came to be served in the dining car. The following account was noted: "She was seated at the table by the steward and given a bill of fare and check. Pausing long enough to write her order she noticed that none of the waiters came near to serve her. Waiting patiently, thinking that they might be busy, she said nothing, but the situation began to become strained, for these brutes began to make remarks not only to one another but to the white steward in chage. Finally this gentleman, seeing that his crew were not men, got them in the parry and cursed telling them that he had not have treated worse that no Irish, Jew, German, Greek nor any nationality on the face of the globe but a cowardly "nigger" would try to, much less treat a woman who has proved herself a lady as they had—that on the end of the trip none would ever leave the station with him again. "Woman is a woman, and you have all had mothers, many have sisters, and to do as you men have done proves to me that you are not fit to mingle with the class you are hired to serve, of which this lady is one. She has a ticket, she is a passenger, and under the law and while I have charge of this car you must serve everyone the same—black, white, yellow or brown makes no difference to me." What the steward said was none too severe, provided the waiters had no instructions from higher authority to do as was said of them. If the story is true, the fact that the steward gave her a bill of fare and check should have been their cue even if colored people were the unexpected. Of cours, there is no sentiment supporting Negroes as guests on dining cars and similar places, yet it is not up to the waiters to help push the thing along. Waiters have been known to do what is said of them here, apparently taking as much pleasure in turning down one of their own kind as the most anti-Negro white people. In fact the notable disregard of race by the race has done much to encourage the white people in their disregard. They go on the theory that if those who know you best, know nothing good of you, then there's nothing to you. DISCRIMINATION'S DEADLY ENE CROACHMENT. Newsgatherers about Washington, D.C. have been sending out information from time to time as it concerns the attitude of the Democratic party in that city. We have in mind Negro correspondents who furnish the newspapers of the race throughout the country with news of the capital. They have called attention to the demotion and dismissal of Negroes holding office, insisting that it was the policy of the new administration. They have also called attention to the segregation of colored men and women who are in public service. Some have been inclined to doubt much of what has been given out, thinking it exaggeration due to opposition to the Democratic administration. It now appears that the reduction, classifying and the rest of it have become so notorious that correspondents of the great white dailies have taken the matter up. They, of course, do not attempt to discuss the situation; they merely offer the public the facts. One of the correspondents in an Indianapolis daily, said this week: "Negroes in the public service at the departments have been segregated and demoted as never before since the new administration came into power. This is noticed especially in the departments that are presided over by Southern Democrats. The Postoffice Department furnishes an example in point. The head of that department is Albert Sidney Burleson, a Texas Democrat. "Burleson's attitude toward the Negro is that of the typical 'Southern gentleman.' In other words, he adheres to the niger that the niger must know his place and know that Until Burleson took charge at the department he was a force of Negro messengers, doorkeeps and all-round utility men that was very much in evidence. These colored men dressed well and were on terms of familiarity with callers. Among the people of their own race they were regarded with almost a feeling of awe." The situation is extremely ugly. For the first time in the history of the Negroes as a freed people the government has taken an avowed stand in racial affairs. Only on that account is the situation ugly, since the thing of discrimination is almost general throughout the country. What is taking place at Washington to-day is proof of the splendid front made by the Republican party. It had very much of the same anti-Negro spirit with which to contend. It struggled nobly in the face of the fiercest opposition against the better consideration of the Negroes. It must be admitted, however, that a sort of opposition has greatly increased within recent years. It is not too much to say that the Negroes was an element of Taff's defection. Ezekiel's comment enough that there was a quiet determination to surrender the country to the Democracy, knowing that it had the nerve and the will to deal with the situation in a new way—in its way. If it were THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. not to be Mr. Wilson, then Mr. Roosevelt, who also had the nerve. If we are mistaken in these conclusions, we are not mistaken in the fact that no one is greatly disturbed about the happenings at Washington except the colored people. We are without friends at court, and due to the uncontrollable racial situation. To keep Washington pure and sweet in face of what was going on throughout the country was an uphill job. The Democrats can claim credit, at least, for squaring conditions at the capital with those of the general country. Washington is not the fountain in the matter, sending forth to every part its pellucid streams, as it should be. The country is the source, sending forth to Washington whatever tamination, of whatever source, making for a reservoir, which in reason could not remain different to the source. Negro political students and thinkers will agree that the capital is merely adjusting itself to the general situation throughout the country. This situation means the emphasis of the division of the white and colored peoples. We are inclined to view with alarm such a pronounced stand by the government. We are taught to view government as impartial parents who hold their children as one. The children, if true to the ideal as set up by the ideal parents, refuse to see even the possibility of wrong in them. It is no wonder that the Negro youth, coming from the schools or elsewhere—wherever has let fall the principles of government—are shocked when the beautiful theory of justice, prejudice, with all its hateful practices, obtrudes it, self. Thinking on such things has bred Nhlists in Russia, Socialists in Germany, Anarchists in Spain and elsewhere. With the Negroes in America, slavery has answered largely for social and political degradation. In spite of what appears defeats, the race is coming up, consequently it will not be necessary to become militant in order to maintain the upward tendency. The point is that our worst condition is slowly receding in spite of what is taking place at Washington and elsewhere. BISHOP WALTERS IN TOWN Baptist Association Will Meet—Lee L. Brown's Candidacy.

We are about to enter upon a new season, which we will endeavor to make the most successful season a Smart Set route. It will be a great pleasure to meet my many friends in and out of the profession. Mr. Knox, editor of The Free Press, will be able to paper to write about any of the interesting things I may see and hear while en route. I will be glad to see the many opportunities that the company erected during the past year, or witness any performance that may be given for the entertainment. Of the company performance, we criticize performances, but will speak only of the merits of the entertainment. Colour shows business rapidly appear on the screen, be or not be, that is the question. "Are we to be important factors in the show world, or will we be caught in the tidal wave or in the storm? Are we responsible for adrift as useless derelicts upon the sea of "has-beens"? We will be largely responsible for the answer. Each colour is responsible for the victory, for victory it must be. We have the talent; we know how to entertain; we can and must work and constant study. We must convince managers that we are thoroughly reliable and so deport ourselves to work and constant study upon any bill or with any company. We must learn co-operation, the success of which cannot advance our interests, or that of the profession if we continually fail to do so. On the other hand, we should be, "One for all and all for one." The Freeman-Whitman-Lazzo Contro- versy. We are all so intensely human, so liable to err, that we can't afford to cast the first stone. How many of us can afford to have our private lives published? How many of us can open the closet of our lives and have the skeleton bared for public inspection? Let us make the columns of this great paper a medium concoction to the public the good we. The evil we do will never want for purveyors. "There is so much good in the worst of us. And so much bad in the best of us; That it hardly behooves any of us To talk about the rest of us." The Wrong Mr. President.

There are twenty numbers, including six musical ensembles by the Corwell, manager of the Smart Set, and also one of the foremost musical directors. Also twelve other numbers by S. Smith and Lucky Roberts, musical director of the company. The scenery and costumes are new. It will be the best equipped Smart Set company seen for the cast and chorus are unusually strong. No detective will be needed to unravel the plot of the "The Wrong Mr. President." The story runs consistently and is quickly told. The comedy is effervescent and amusement to the most pessimistic. Several characters, unusual to colored musical comedies, will be introduced dunce-like, but will be new and novel, the music ranges from the jingling ragtime melody to reported for rehearsals: S.

Mr. Henry is one of the best post-graduate actors, and has a memory like an elephant on the happenings of the past—well, it wouldn't be parliamentary to tell him, a long time ago. Ask Mr. Henry. Henrietta Vinton Davis in Panama. Miss Henrietta Vinton Davis, the distinguished American elocutionist, has been meeting with pronounced success in Panama and the canal zone, draining all of leading cities in the various provinces and being showered with social attention at the most influential families in the places visited. The newspapers have been with praise of her interpretations of Slakespearian languages, Lawyers, Criticists and character productions as the best seen in that region. At Cristobal she was the guest of Lawyers, Well known in Washington, and last week she took a pleasant rest at the hacienda of Madame Marcotte at Mt. Hope, three miles mrcolon. Miss Davis has been a frequent visitor to Jamaica for a return engagement, after which she will sail for New York and the United States, and will return of the Isthmian territory, and will upon her seturn to the States deliver a series of lectures on political, social and industrial conditions, which she will discuss. She is one of the races most brilliant women and eminently deserves the great success she has achieved in every field in which her lot has been cast. Mme. Anita Patti Brown to Tour West Indies Madame Anita Patti Brown, of Chicago, the race's foremost coloratura soprano, is the pianist brassist of tour of South and is laying pianist at the star concert company to the West Indies, in response to a pressing demand for the music she will probably embrace an elocutionist, a violinist, a pianist and a tenor singer, besides Mime Brown herself. The artists are also in the country in their lines in the country and they will undoubtedly score a triumph among our appreciative tropical neighbors. Misses Effie King and Lottie Gee emphatically deny the statement that they are the only proposed company, which is reported to be in process of organization for the production of "My Friend from Kentucky." S. H. Dudley is planning a monster entertainment, in which the "cream" of the musical and dramatic talent of the ashing-ers will be on the order of the famous "Soap Box Minstrels," and the entire proceeds will go to charities. Not a single nickel will be taken for our performance. Mr. Dudley. "Every penny taken in at the box office is to go for 'sweet charity's sake,' and I hope to pull off a show that will be a great show," he takes pride in the artistic development of the race.

Nothing very new to give out concerning the vexile, where woken of rest is in Parmenon. If he were a man, a great writer, such as Allegory, a short bantu, was fine reading just about as time. He would take his tormentors to, those who were out both in paradise, maybe. But he would write like he could fight. But he can. He just a plain, blunt man, and so According to report Jack was rather hard put for a stopping place. He chased about quite a distance to the hotel that he hit. It is said that he was easily refused at good hotels; but sound sounds rather fishy for Paris. I do not think they had an office and weep for joy even in day and festive metropolis, and on the other hand they aren't worrying about the proximity of colored people. The following paragraph annot the purlist is in oculation: Paris—Jack Johnson, Negro nuglist, appeared in the revue at the Folies Bertea tonight to fill in the gap caused the absence of the help in England. Yesterday she was inhued in an automobile accident. Johnson a medicine ball about and boxed four exhibitions of his $5,000 has been deposited at up box office for a man who would stand against him for ten rounds. An't exactly sure what medicine balls it is said that Johnson has got a notion in his head that he has discovered a remedy for nervousness, neurasthenia or some It is said that the champ drew $1,260 a night for eleven nights; and that the management of it offered a great opportunity. That's picking up pretty fast and; a la Johnson, that is, after the Johnson style when at home, if he can keep up, he will win. He maybe, I say v"maybe" because when giving his exhibition he about his loins the good old United States that.

He was a man of Venezuela I believe, and Mr. Dom Pedro, ex-emperor of Brazil; Diaz, of Mexico, and others left their shores all shot. Florida was recalled, but his exile was a prolonged punishment to those at home. He rejoiced in his ability to inflict one man, a slave, with a quick and continues to do so, even until this day. Bulwyn Lytton says that the pen is mightier than the sword. Ye, verily. But Johnson is a fighting man. Johnson may regret that he hides it necessary to stay away, regardless of how much he loves his country. But his country is not quite so simple as that of a few officials against him. Color and race prejudice and his standing as the foremost fighting man is the key to his success. He made thought to repudiate him because they suffered likewise through prejudice which became at once more manifest owing to his own country practically turned against him. It is to be hoped that the French, the English, the Germans, will not see it to take up our position. The following paragraph clearly defines Messner Johnson's present status; "Johnson wore an American flag around his waist, which will need considerable reduction in size to a serious battle. His white hair from a stax box until the final scene. When she joined the fight, she wore a dress and a hat.

NO COLOR LINE IS BEING DRAWN IN TRACK ATHLETICS. Darky Boys Have Forged Ahead in Track and Field Sports. NEW YORK.—One of the most notable developments in the athletic world of late is the manner in which the Negro boy has become a major other sports, track athletics offer the Negro boy, poor as he may be, an equal chance to compete adn become a champion, and the colored young men are making good use of the opportunity. Perhaps the greatest of present-day colorful sports is the Drew of the Springfield High School, who won the 100-yard national championship, and of late has outclassed every sprinter has met. But for an unfortunate breakout in the metre Olympic race at Stockholm last summer, Mike Olympic trip (late Mike Murphy) made no secret of the fact that he regarded Drew as one of the greatest amateur sprinters he ever saw, and once Mike offered to bet $5,000 on Drew to walk theaker, the speed phenom from South Africa. Another colored boy of rare promise on the local tracks is Bonaparte, the school-boy who represents the Second Preserve won the opposing team. Bonaparte won the P. S. A. L. L22-vyard championship, two seconds for that distance. Bonaparte has about everything a great sprinter should have. If he gets the right kind of handwriting too much adulthood, nell make a flier sure. Harvard University has two great colored athletes in Theodore Cable, who as a junior throws title and is capable of dong 22 feet in the broad jump, and A. L. Jackson, who throws title and is capable of dong 18 hurdles race this spring. Cable is a product of the late Bill Quinn's coaching and remarkable weight in one of the most successful teams in the circle, as his sprinting and jumping ability would indicate. Jackson has proved himself one of the best hurdlers in this country, his work with the team team took part in and in the big "inter-collegiate" earning unstinted praise from all the athletic experts who saw these W. Granger, of Dartmouth, is still another fast colored boy in the colleges, and he is a graduate student in School (Newark), is no John Paul Jones, but he's a classy runner at that. When the best halfmasters of Dartmouth and the best halffellows of Dartmouth it was Granger's chest that hit the tape first. Granger has a record of 4.58 for the half mile and stands well in his studies. The Loughlin Lyeum in Brooklyn has a clover colored athlete in H. B. Desmond. The ranyer runs has pulled more than 100 laps for the Loughlin. Desmond runs the quarter mile the best and he is rated by Handicapper Obertubing as a fast 52-second runner. Some good colored athletes, too, W. C. Holmes of Chicago, won a place on the 1908 Olympic team. Granger has some good Cincinnati has a colored high school boy—Harry Martin—who can step the indoor low hurdles and receive athletic performance of last winter's indoor season in New York was the effort of H.

DILLON AND KLAUS TO MEET IN BOSTON RING. Twelve Round Battle Is Scheduled for August 26. Jack Dillon accepted terms for a twelve-round bout with Frank Klaus at Boston, August 26. While these boys have been in the playoffs for most of the middleweights during the last year, there has always been a doubt as to which is the best. Klaus has defeated Dillon both in the first round and in the Pacific coast bout being a twenty-round affair, and Dillon squarely beat the Pittsburgh champion here in a ten-round bout last May. He is a white boy; he has taken under his care Bennie Harper, the colored newboy boxer, who is now ill. DANISH FIGHTERS IN THE PRIZE RING (By Ray C. Pearson.) From a number standpoint the Dane has not played an important part in the history of the Danish race is taken into consideration the fact is plainly evidenced by the fact that he has been the king making four fighting sons such a select few who might be counted on the fingers of a Mordialc Brown pitching. The mention of three names is sufficient evidence that only one necessity exists in the fighting game, and as further evidence of the class of the boys who bear them it is only necessary that world's lightweight champion, the other a claimant for the middleweight, be any of the other contenders, while the third, practically a newcomer in the game, bids fair to become bantam- Oscar Matthew Battling Nelson un-doubtedly was the greatest Danish fighter that ever crowded through the rooftops of pugilism has been much, in fact so much that the "Durable Dane" as he is familiar with, the fact and wrote a book of his career in his idle moments out of the ring. But without disparaging Nelson's ability as an author, I can away a greater fighter. His wonderful ring record, showing battles extending over a period of seventeen years, is undisputed evidence of his class. Nelson was born in Copenhagen on June 5, 1882, and was a little less than a year old when he began the stage of pugilism. But that stage didn't last any time, for Bat soon blossomed out as a fighter, with the champion of the ring. It is doubtful if the Dane knew at that time what was coming to him before he might realize his ambition. His path was not strewn with injuries for him to pass over. Nelson fought everything that the promoters would allow him to wight, and was able to win the game just dotes on referring to as the worst "bump" of them all before or after he was a champion. That bump was added to his score six times in the arena of the Old Star theater in Chicago, and the man who handed it out was Joe Headmark. Chicago was close to his heights attained in the profession by the Dane. A dizzy night Nelson never had met. In those six rounds Hearmark, by clouting Nelson on the jaw with all his might, sent the Dane to the floor so many times, almost almost a massacre, but the durability of the Dane was always in evidence. Time after time when knocked into the tine battle. As near as the ringers who attended that mill can remember Nelson hit the canvas fourteen times after Headmark has soaked him four times. Headmark, of course, got the decision, but Nelson was standing on his feet and looking at the crowd. But that kind of a dribbling didn't stop Bat a minute. He was back the next week for the next show, fighting some one else. He gave of fighting that really made Nelson a great ring man. He often says that he would rather fight than do anything else he knows of, and he did. He was also considered there isn't a chance in the world to dispute his argument. For twelve long years the Dane plied along before he reached the championship goal, which in itself is an unique record. It was on July 4, just five years ago, that Bat countered that Nelson in seventeen rounds at San Francisco, and gained the lightweight title. There was some of the joy of reverse in that game, and the struggle lasting forty-two rounds. Nel son was declared loser to Gans on a foul. On Sept. 9, 1908, Gans made his "combatant" effort against Nelson, with the threat that the Dane won in twenty-one rounds. After all his struggles to win the title he managed to manage more than two years of Wolfgang "arrived" then, and in a fight which went forty rounds the durability of the Dane was tested. Wolfgang came champion. Even that defeat has not stopped Nelson. He has been fighting ever since, but it has been the same for him since. He was a blet. The Dane no longer fights as a champion, the majority of his contests showing him worsted by men who are hardly known in the time ago announced that he was through with boxing. If he is sincere in his retirement over one is still in his prime, he will bow at the place occupied by Bat Nelson in pugilism his fame, "Cyclone Johnny" Thompson, the Sycamore, III, farmer, comes from Danish parentage, although he was born in Ogle county, then in Hampshire, in 1902, and today he is 37 years old. It would be hard to find a more interesting or unique struggle for honors than Nelson. The record book shows that he has fought in more classes than any other player in the league, promising later, start he fought as a welter, then as a middleweight, and now as a middleweight the he took on heavier opponents in his great victory when he beat Baby Pappe, who claimed the title, in twenty rounds. He also claimed a middleweight the honors, but the dispute for the crown is still on, and no real title-holder has been installed. The newest Dane to enter the field is "Kid" Williams of Baltimore, champion Johnny Coulon of Los Angeles, champion Johnny Coulon of Los Angeles, probably on labor day. Like Nelson, Williams, and Coulon, he was born in Denmark. The date of his birth was Dec. 5, 1883, but he was quite a kid when brought to this country, and from the caliber he already has, it would appear that his march to the championship is more than prom- The reason for Williams' desire for a battle with Coulon is apparent to all those who follow the sport closely. The "Baltimore" team has home enjoyed a ten round session of mulling with the champion in new York, and has been impressed such an impression that he feels confident he can take the measure of the team. Coulon has also caused a lot of the ringers to that battle gave the Baltimore boy the shade, although Coulon says that it was a draw affair. Williams has caused bad blood, Williams vs. Coulon, and as Coulon is declared to be on the fighting decline, it would seem that pundism may before long see another Dane a world's champion. LANGFORD WILL MEET JEANETTE NEW YORK, tar baby, will make his first appearance before long see another Dane a world's champion, will meet Joe Jeanette in a ten-round bout before th. Nicholas Athletic Club, Langford home, will be signed as soon as he arrives. KID ASH IN INDIANAPOLIS. Kid Ash and his manager, Harry Gordon, were in Indianapolis Sunday a day before the start of the Pokin Speed Boys, of Cincinnati, who played against him. The manager puts him against any fighter of that weight. Ash is the only colored boy in the team, two white boys. He is a favorite in his home. SAM LANGFORD IN THE UNITED STATES. Whenever Sam Langford is moving about in the United States it is usually a sign for the white heavyweights to crank up the Boston Tar Baby again until the idea to go abroad. For the past four or five years Sam has reigned supreme, and he would attract any of the white hopes to meet him. Sam was just as good as an amateur, and the reason that he went to Australia several years ago and remained until recently, Langford is now back in this country and, course, is looking for somebody to fight. It looks to us as if it would be a wise man to go to Australia, white fellows to come out and agree to meet the Boston man. Take Jim Flynn or Boatmoss, for instance. It would be a wise man to send a team to box Langford, and there’s a chance of beating Sam. Langford just the fighter he was two or three years ago, and is the man to beat him. By beating the Negro, Smith would just about be in a position to lay claim world, Jack Johnson no longer is considered, but until there is a man who can meet anybody in the world, bar none, the title will remain in dispute. It seems that no wwould be a good time to get into the box, but he can say that Sam is no longer dangerous, but he isn’t as dangerous as he was once. by Billy Gibson to be heil dm New York in the fall will bring together the leading players in the league. He will meet Langford and in event of winning, hay claim to the world's champion. He will put the matter. The man would have nothing to lose anyhow, whether he was a champion or not.

XXVI NUMBER 32 MARION, INDIANA! A CITY OF 20,000 INHABITANTS, IN THE COUNTY OF GRANT. COLLORED PEOPLE ARE HOME-OWNERS They are Also Engaged in Various Business Pursuits and are Thrifty—The City is "Dry," and the Races Sustain the Best Relation Without Friction. Murton, Ind., is a town of about 20,000 people situated on the Mississippi river, in the north central part of the state, in the county of Grant. It is one of the old cities of Indiana, having its birth back in the early pioneer days. It is in the midst of a multitude of fine, fertile farms, where an abundance of grain, livestock and other valuable agricultural products are produced. The hundreds of well-to-do farmers about this city are passing through her gates in their fine buries, carriages and automobiles, the very personalization of prosperity. The colored people of Marion are not a numry, idle set by any means. They are generally home-owners and with a safe and steady means of self-support. They have the reputation of owning more homes in proportion to their number than in any other city in Indiana. It is a very rare thing to find a married colored man without a good job and a comfortable home. And it should not be forgotten that those jobs, as a usual thing, are not the mental cheap starvation jobs, so often found to be the case in other cities. There are about 2,000 colored people in this city and vicinity, including the settlement known as Weaver, not far away, and at the present rate of increase there will probably be almost a third more within the next decade. Among these we find men enraged in almost every kind of occupation. There is one architect, one attorney-at-law, one physician, about half a dozen cement contractors, one street and road contractor, three regular brick masons, three contracting carpenters, dozens of good carpenters, four grocers, four tailors, four regular teachers, five music teachers, two orchestras, three blacksmith shops, one sand and gravel firm. They have seven lodges, three churches, three colored schools near, two mail carriers, two laundries, one carpet and rug manufacturer, one carpet cleaning establishment, five ice cream parlors, two restaurants, two barbers, one regular clerk in a first-class store, one general insurance agent, one coat yard, one loan company, one real estate company, more than a dozen painters and paper hangers, and one tailor shop. The white and colored people of this city sustain the best of relations. They are respectful to each other and they show a spirit of fair play. The city schools are mixed, and there has always been perfect harmony among pupils and parents. Marion has a fine normal and business college, which makes no distinction as to race, there being now several colored students attending the summer session, and it has many graduates scattered about over the state. There are several large hotels in the city and all of them employ colored cooks, waiters and porters. In one of the largest factories a colored man is the foreman over a number of men, both white and colored. In the past the colored man has enjoyed fair recognition in the political game, for he has at various times held some of the prominent county and city positions. We have had three policemen, clerk in the auditor's office, treasurer's office and survivor's office. The custodian of nearly all the public buildings, including the high school, are It must not be forgotten that Marion has placed herself on record as favoring temperance, for she has no saloons, and more than once has voted the liquor traffic out. It is the location of the National Soldiers' Home, one of the prettiest and most artistically arranged institutions of its kind in the country. CURTIS F. GREEN Martin has a right to be proud of all such citizens as Mr. Green, for he is not a good artisan but a man of intellect, having had good educational advantages. He has had good education at State University, Louisville, Ky. He early began to learn the trade of brick mason, and twenty years he has followed the trade in brick masonry finishing. For more than twelve years, he has been a contractor, and as such, he stood the test of the most scrutinizing labor in the industry, turning over a job as complete, no one can improve upon it. His specialty has been a number of years, general street painting, and this year, up to date, his contracts amount to $50,000, which is now on a job, Sidney, of $8,000 amounts to $65,000. Mr. Green has had contracts in many different cities and several different states among which I work. He now has several hire jobs under way, Martinsville, Aurora, of this state; Nicholsville and Winchester, Ky.; St. Louis; and New York. He now has several hire jobs under way, Mr. Green has also been interested in other business undertakings. For instance, two years ago, he invested over $250 million but finding he could not give the time necessary to it, he sold it, except some of the business, which he still has for sale, drum and bells. Recently he has pur- chased a machine for making concrete blocks, and he expects to begin soon to Mr. Green owns a nice home in Meridian street and several other good pieces of furniture. Mr. Green is a Tode of Sierling, Ky. They have one boy who is now in high school and is in the middle of college. When it is remembered that Mr. Green is still under forty years old we are com- CURTIS F. GREEN. pelled to acknowledge that he is a remarkable tradesman. Few of our people reach so substantial a place in the industry that he is considered a Marion, which is but twelve years, he has established himself in the confidence of the best people of this city, both white and colored, and his name on paper is good anywhere in Marion. He is a master of the Mass. CORNELIUS C. MAYES. Mr. Mayes is a Virgilian, but was reared principally in Charleston, S. C. His school advantages were scanty, most of his attendance being at night school. He was a very hard worker, and early deprived of his parents. He early learned that the surest way to get on' this life was to make friends of the people with them. He is noted for his upright square dealing with everybody. He believes thoroughly in honest service to others. He painter and paper hanger, having been at the business since a mere boy. He learned JOHN H. BURKE the trade under some of the best tradesmen in his home town. For a number of years he apprenticed under a man of Charleston and has followed it for nearly forty years. He has had some of the best jobs since he has been employed by the large school buildings here, which was a job of nearly $1,000. For many years he was engaged in expoiting the large school buildings, painting and paper hanging at the Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo, N. Y., and at Jamestown, Va. Mr. McMullen, all the sons of him, and he now, as all the several good jobs under his charge. THOMAS J. PHILLIPS Marion has a good share of business, among which one of those longest in business is Mr. Thomas J. Phillips. For nine years he owned and operated a grocery at the corner of Thirty-sixth and Corey streets, where he lives. He owns the property, and purchases also, Mr. Phillips his wife, looks after his store when he is away, attending to his other work. He is a first-class lather, having followed the business for over twenty-five years. Mr. Phillips was born and reared in Michigan, principally on a farm. He knows what hard work is, for he has had to look out for himself since a boy. In 1903 he went THOMAS J. PHILLIPS. to Chicago, where he worked at the lathing trade one year. Then he came to Marion and went directly into the grocery business, but kept up his trade. He is a member of the International Lathers Union, to which very few colored people MRS. ANNA P. JULIUS. Some people are born to lead and this leads to a high quality. One sees the quality of strong DR. WILLIAM T. THOMAS Dr. Thomas is Marion's popular and much-loved physician. He is the only doctor in the city where he since 1897. Dr. Thomas is a native of Kentucky, but received his early-education at Bloomington, compulsory at St. John's, and then at city schools. For some years he was clerk in a drug DR. W. T. THOMAS. store there, which was a stimulant to his ambition to become a physician. He went to Louise and there received his medical degree. He then went to Medical College, graduating with honor in 1897. Dr. Thomas possesses some of this world's goods, owning a good home and a large garden. His city, He has a fine automobile. He is a consistent member and faithful worker in the Baptist church. He is active in fraternities and has a grand register of the Knights of Pythias. ERED H. THOMAS. One of the most hopeful signs for our race is the fact that some of the young men who have been in the Marion product, We note a great advancement in this direction in the last few years. Young men are more and more likely to realize that they can now little need for one or who one is unable to take care of himself now, or no better illustration of his awakened potential than Marion product, Mr. Fred Thomas. He is a mere boy, being under twenty-one, Dr. W. T. Thomas, Marion's popular and FRED H. THOMAS. successful physician. He had good educational advantages, having gone through the public schools and then into the university at State University, Louisville, Ky. Afterwards he took the course in the Coin National Trade School, where he studied the art of anatomy as electrical engineer. He has made good in his chosen field for nearly four years. Just think of it, you underestimate the amount of art anatomy as electrical engineer can accomplish in a lifetime. This young man has some of the best jobs in Marion. His specialty is electrical wiring of houses. We have not been able to find him, but instead nothing but praise. Fred is a very popular young man, but he is intoxicated by the influence of his age and standing are. He is quiet and attends strictly to his business. He has an office in 1119. We work at the court house. Here he keeps his orchestra drums, to which he devotes most of his spare time. He is a fine drummer and one of the high-class entertainments among white and colored.

He has lived here since 1900 and during that time has built up a business which commands the patronage of some of the largest business companies he has worked nine years he and Mr. Bushon, his cousin, have beennership in the sand and gravel business. Their pit, which consists of a tract of fifteen acres inside the city limits, yields a fine, high-grade assortment of the material. In 1900 Mr. David Morrell was fortunate to win the band of Miss Laura and Mr. Bushon for him for a year. He completed the high school course and took advanced course in music. She is an accomplished musician and has now has a class of both white and colored. THEODORE DIXON Another one of Marion's successful business men is Mr. Theodore Dixon, who has been in partnership with Mr. Thaddee E. Smith in the grocery business since 1970. He is a native of the business, and looks after the incoming and outgoing thereof. He is a native Hoosier, having been reared at Seymour where he scoured his education under the THEO. S.

Many of the contracts may be mentioned that for the boulevard which was built this year and required $8,000 of gift money. Mr. Morrell, like so many of our best men, is a self-made man. He was reared in Ohio, and a farm boy. He attended the common schools, but did not finish; the course. Mr. Morrell owns a good home in a good part of the city.

For the young men of Marion I know of [Picture of a young man in a suit and bow tie]. THADDEUS E. SMITH. no better example of thrift, industry and business tact than Mr. Thadeus E. Smith. He is a native of this city, where he received his training, both at home and in school. He completed the common schools with credit and the teachers' course in business. He was also finished the business course of the institution. He is thus one among the very few of our young men who believe in self-reliance and in the technical labors. He was thought enough to have a home of his own before taking unto himself his helpmate who was Miss J. Smith. She was a popular young ladies of her home town, and a thing few of our young men do. They now have three lovely children. This year Mr. Smith, in partnership with Mr. Dixon, has been appointed to the street, near the Allen temple, where they are doing a fine business. The firm is arranged to meet, to the very real importance of trade. Mr. Smith has been in the employ of Uncle Sam for eight years as one of the teachers of Marion. He is a member of the K. of P.'s. NATHAN FLEMING It is always a pleasure to present to our readers a character like Mr. Fleming, for the reason that he is one of those who have had a hardship. He has reached a place in life where he can look back with great pride, born and reared in this county, being fifty-four years old. He did not have the advantage an apprentice, for he attended only three years of school, knows what self support means, for he has made his own way since a young boy. He was reared partly on the farm and partly in the city. Mr. Fleming has always been inclined to the other things that others can. For twenty years he was a lively stable in the town, and of this NATHAN FLEMING. he made a success. He saved his money and was careful in investing it. Nine years ago he bought a new farm in slant at a very handsome profit. This year he purchased a five twenty-acre farm just above the brick residence and barn thereon, the brick residence and barn thereon, will command a very high price.

He is a member of the church and serves as leader and adviser in the various subordinate organizations in his ability as a leader and are required to co-operate with him in whatever he undertakes for the benefit of the church and his community. WILLIAM FRAZIER. Mr. Frazier is an exception to the saying of "a Prophet has no honor lr his own country. He was born and reared in a city where he attended public schools. He has been one of the strong, active forces in this neighborhood for a number of years. The first eighteen years he was employed by the school. He was employed for some years with the Marion Brick Works. He was very active in public affairs and it was due principally to his efforts that the colored school just outside the city limits was established by the school in three years, the director of the school.
