PHILADELPHIA, Pa. (Special)—This the fourteenth meeting of the National Negro Business League, marks also the fifteenth anniversary of our freedom as a race, this great gathering of the representatives of the bacebone and progress of our race should be held in Philadelphia. It is most important the acquirement of Independence is issued. We place after fifty years of freedom in the city, where 137 years ago, that immortal document of our declaration of Independence, has been a debatable question. However that may be decided, we mean as a race, through this and similar organization, has been a potent part of American citizenship that in all the future no one will dare question our right to be included to any portion of the body politic. During the fifty years of our freedom we have been subjected to some pretty severe tests. First, there were not a few who resisted the idea of freedom, not the American Negro could survive in a state of freedom. We answer that freedom came to us we were 4,000,000 when freedom came to us we were 10,000,000 free American citizens. This means that we are more apt to twice and more the population of Australia, one and a half times as large, one and a half times as large, and nearly twice as large as the combination of Australia and Denmark. These facts should put an end for all time to doubt our ability or us survive in a state of freedom. One other question was debated fifty years ago, and that was the question as to whether we support ourselves from a physical and personal perspective, not a few who fifty years ago predicted that this newly freed race would become a perpetual burden upon the poorest of the poor, and that we would not be dictated that we would neither feed, clothes nor shelter ourselves. Every year the American Congress is asked to appropriate to be used largely in providing dollars to be used largely in providing dollars to shelter and clothes for about 200,000 American Indians. While this is true of the American Indians, it is not true of the highest respect for the Indians) ever since the day of Reconstruction the Ameri can Negro has not called upon Congress to appropriate a single dollar of the dollars we ourselves and mean to do in all the respect for the Indians) part of this country does one find a black hand reached from a corner of a building, for any man's personal charity. We have proven that we can survive from a physical point of view, and we have also proved that we could not only support ourselves, but that is one of the conditions of growth toward the support of local, state, and national government. Within the fifty years of our freedom we have proved that is one of the conditions of growth and permanency under the conditions of freedom. This third test embodies our commitment to work together in the capacity of organized human beings. There can be little civilization and little progress without the capacity to work together in organized groups. Fifty years ago we had almost no experience in working together as organizers. We have never been able to制度ure we have proven our ability to organize. We now have sixty-two banks under the control of black organizations. We have been able to organize organizations. Now we have four great branches, to say nothing of smaller ones, having a total membership of 3,113,920 members, or about 23 per cent. of the race. Our capacity to organize has been shown, too, in the case of the National Association of Negro Workers, an organization local branches, and more extensive in the numerous secret and beneficial societies which have been organized and are being sustained. Negroes. A group of over thirty of these organizations with distinct aims and purposes, and which possess their scope. A study of these organizations reveals the fact that they have a total membership of five percent. These figures take no account of the fact that not a few individuals belong to many different organizations. So much for indications of progress in the Negro community and our duty in the immediate future? What are our chances and what is the outlook? The large number of inde- pendent businesses in Philadelphia black people right here in Philadelphia partly answers this question. What the bureaus in Philadelphia have to do with commercial activity is not confined to our race. In a Southern city when I was spending a half hour in a Negro bank, I saw commercial activity in the bank were white people. Young men. Who came in to do business with the bank were white people. Young men. This great country of ours Negroes to establish and maintain many additional and avrucous kinds of business. There i a place for at lealt 900,000 independent, self-supporting Negroes in far West, nothing impressed me more than to note the large number of educat- tions fit as farmers. Often they started in a little hut or dug-out, and suffered priv- ations, but they were sticking to it. The future make the great kings of industry. There are openings in the South for 4,000 more grocery stores can be opened. There are North and South where 4,000 more grocery stores can be opened. There are 1,500 shoe stores. ur race needs 1,000 more good restaurants and hotels. White women in all parts of the entire world are opening millinery shops. I want to see a large number of our own businesses to be started do the same thing. There are openings for starting 1,500 millinery stores. We already have over 350 drug stores, but we could be started and all would be sustained. We have already more than 60 Negro banks, but 150 additional banks should be established in the New York, Baltimore, Washington, Memphis, New Orleans, Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah and Mobile three cities. We have organized and conducted could be supported, as is the time to seize hold of these opportunities and use them before it is too late. These great chances are at our door. Shall we use them? Too many women are content to be mere salary drawers or wage earners, depending on some one else to think and plan for their activity and success in all these economic directions la ythe foundation for the most enduring success in all professions. Our race, like others, must be built upon an economic foundation as well as our own. We are women. We work more and more in these directions and neither we nor our children depend upon the success of sewers, doctors, nurses or our living. I repeat we must create positions for ourselves—positions which no man can give or take from us. We must depend on the streams so hard at sun from which original wealth comes draw no color line. Of the ten millions of black people in the United States, nine millions at least belong to the ordinary, hard working classes. In all our planning for business, we must depend on the success of we get close to these hard working masses. They are the backbone of our economy and of the woman who cooks, washes, irons or sews. These people will put money into your banks and support your business. Finally, as a race, we must not be discouraged. There will come to us, as to all races, seasons of depression and hardship, and high places may seem to seek to insult, humiliate and harass us, but they can treat us unjustly, who treat us unjustly are losing more than we are. So often the keeper of the prison is on the outside but the free people are in the inside, beginning, we have more friends, both North and South, than enemies. Let us advertise our friends more and our enemies. We must not lose our faith in our white friends, and above all this, we must have constant and unvarying pride in our race. We must be proud of being a Negro as the Japanese is of being a Japanese, we must be proud of meeting filled with a spirit of race pride, rejoicing in the fact that we belong a race that has made greater progress in our history, and let each dedicate himself to the task of doing his part in making the ten millions of black people a more example for all the world in usefulness, law-abiding habits and high character.

MEMBER “NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Well, there seem to be no more threats against our citizenship by Vardaman et al, That's something. Not that we believe very much that the sober, sane Democracy ever meant to follow in such leadership. But, at that, it 1s not pleasant to be menaced, thereby cheapening one’s rights, striking down civil respecta- bility, Wm, Monroe Trotter, editor of the Boston Guardian, is making a_com- mendable effort to petition the Presi- dent against the segregation move: ment now on in Washington, D. C. He is asking that blanks, which he has prepared, be filled out and sent to him, the same to be used in the effort to secure 100,000 signatures. ‘The names will be sent to Washing- ton as a protest, . A white man who recently returned to civilization after twenty-three years of wandering in Africa, says that be settled among the Lubans, who number about a million people. He spoke of them as being a fine people. ‘The language, he says, is very dimcult, requiring years to learn. He says that it has twenty-three tenses of the verb and nineteen gen- ders, He seems to be a little long on genders. J. C. Groves & Sons, colored, of Kansas, have raised about 60,000 bushels of potatoes on their farm. ‘They are well known to the members of the National Negro Business League, which body Mr. Groves usu: ally attends, Mr. Groves has become very rich. His several children, all of whom live about him, are college graduates. He lives in a house of ‘twenty-two rooms, with all of — the modern improvements. A $50,000 auditorium is the latest for Atlanta, Ga, ‘This will be prac tically an annex to the $100,000 Odd Fellows’ building. It will be in the same block, and built by that lodge. Booker 'T. Washington has already said that the building that is erected ig worth the price of the trip to see. ‘When the annex is erected, what then? Atlanta threatens to be the Mecca to which all eyes will turn when good things are thought on. ‘The Knights of Pythias will con: yene in Baltimore in supreme session next Week. The conclave held in. In: Gianapolis two years ago Is doubtless well remembered, when thousands ot carefully uniformed Knights poured into our city. Their conduct through out, and their splendid military dis. cipline, evidenced in many ways, left an impression for good. In fact, the soldierly-like bearing of the trained Knights left a profound impression, suggesting their fitness for the best military service. The encampment at Baltimore promises to be as grand and as impressive as that of this city two years ago. If President Wilson and the Demo- eratic party can manage to give the Negroes one or two good places at Washington, much more cannot con: sistently be expected of them. The effort to have a Negro succeed Reg: ister Napier was all right so far as the President was concerned. He, however, will be held for whatever his party does. If he hopes to make good impression as a discerning Pfesident, thoughtful of all the peo ple, he ‘will have to manage to do a few things in the Negroes’ favor. We have ithe ministership to Africa, so far, Tt could have been Haiti also. Is the Liberian ministership ominous? Booker T. Washington says that it is worth the price of the trip to At- lanta, Ga., just to see the Odd Fel- lows” building. This may seem an exaggeration, yet when it is known that the beautiful six-story structure was put up for $100,000, interest is added. Judging from the pictures geen of this building, it is grand ar- chitecturally. Some ‘idea of the in- terior will be gleaned from the follow- ing: “No person who has not been in- side of this building can imagine what fine appointments it has. Its tile floors, marble counters, fine elevator service, its corridors ten feet wide, faced with Georgia marble to a height of ten feet, its marble columns, its two big 100-horse-power steam en- gines, its splendid electric lighting system, all conspire to overwhelm one with the bigness of the conception ‘and execution yet so rare among col- ‘red people. Fifty years ago it is doubtful if there was a set of Ne- groes in the world who could do what the contractor, Mr. R. E. Pharrow, has done in constructing such a monu- ment of Negro progress.” DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON AT PHILADELPHIA. Dr. Booker ‘T. Washington, as pres- ident of the National Negro Business ‘League at Philadelphia this week, de- livered the address, as he usually does on these occasions. His speech, elsewhere in this issue, 4s full of import and instructive in- foPmation. It is also filled with time- ly advice, all of which is put forward ip ap earnest and most convincing way. In fact, the reader that is moré than casual will be struck by the note of sincerity running all through the address. He has made a careful sur vey of the entire field of Negro busi ness possibility in the United States He spoke encouragingly of what ha¢ been done, but reminded his hearer: of what they could yet do. Dr, Washington made it clear that the National Negro Business Leaguc was not simply an ornamental con cern, It has proven a great incentive encouraging Negroes to follow the ex ample of those that have made a suc cess in life, The league has buildet better than it knew. It has becom: the head for the dissemination of use ful intelligence, and which could comé from nowhere else. Dr, Washington's antital address is industrially and civilly important. I is so much history, authentically com piled, showing the’ march of the rac from’ nowhere to the end of civiliza tion at its best. WITH THE GOVERNOR IN HIS LE GAL CONTENTION. ee re. aecanal the Sulzer, of New York, we sald last week ‘that the charges against him were not based on his official actions, or his actions during his incumbency as Governor of the State. If the charges are as preferred, it seems to us that his case should be remanded to the civil courts, where he should be tried as any other man for pur loining the funds of his committee We cannot see that such perversion of money as charged is associated with his governorship, reprehensible ‘as the act may be, if sustained. Impeachment, as generally thought, is meant for official misconduct, or at least misconduct while in office. War ren Hastings, the greatest of the im peached, was arraigned for exploiting the native sof India in pursuance of his office of Governor of that depend- ency, He grew fabulously rich in a short while, his intent on entering of. fice being to build up the fortunes of his house. President Andrew John son was impeached for opposing the will of Congress, thus obstructing the effort for rehabilitating the Union. Gross misdeeds in office undoubted ly make moral cause for removing 2 man from office, but it seems that 1 a legislature has to do with such deeds they would have to be commit. ted after the incumbency. We mean that the civil court is the place to try Mr. Sulzer, because the legislature has no right to reach back of his term of office as a matter of jurisdic: tion, unless it be for something done in pursuance of the office—bringing ‘such office about. Gross misdeeds out fof office or before a term of offlee means a sort of unfitness for office, but which unfitness should be deter mined where all such cases are de termined. Mr. Sulzer entered his office free of a criminal charge. In that he ap propriated money not belonging tc him, to his own ends, as charged, puts him in the same class of men who have done similar things. He should have been sustained in his official re lations until the court had passed on him as it does on men who do sim. lar things. His crooked dealings, i any, were as a private citizen. If he had purchased his nomination with the funds the legislature clearly would have jurisdiction. This isi accord with the general constitution giving power to Congress to look intc the manner of election of members to-that. body. PETITIONING THE PRESIDENT. ‘The colored people of the country ‘are considerably worked up over the display of prejudice in the public of fices at Washington, D. C. We have spoken on this subject time and stime again, viewing the introduction of the segregation business there as start ling, unusual and uncalled for by way of public sentiment, at least, that reached a demand. We, however have not seen great reason to become frantie about it, since what is now being done at Washington is known and felt in some way throughout the States. What is being done in Wash ington is done in the homes of those who administer affairs at Washing ton. Custom and a sense of public wholeness have been the means o! having fair consideration shown Ne groes in official life. The fact, is however, that prejudice has been pressing on, has been gaining ground until public men saw that they could safely insult Negroes, no matter ‘where they were. The thing of draw. ing the microscope on Negroes dic not begin with the Democratic admin istration, nor did it begin with Jack Johnson. It has always been on. The Roosevelt-Brownsville affair helped to give the Negroes a black eye, just as his nominating convention did. Taft's poliey helped in the matter, establish ing plainly the fact that that admin istration had but little comfort to ex tend along this line. ‘The practical desertion of the Ne groes by the Republicans was the cue for the Democrats to get busy. And they haye become so. ‘This offers nc Solution to the vexed condition, yet i shoWs that the thing is not one-sided by any means. We will petition and protest as we have always done, yet it is plain enough that the American white people have got to be courted and won, somehow. If they think tc see conditions that justify these late indications of opposition it is up to us to seek the cause. We are now simply seratehing the surface by ou protests and petitions. We will have to go down deep, find the cause, and ‘then apply a remedy that will suit. MOSAIC TEMPLARS ERECT ‘A $60,000 BUILDING Have Made Record Which Should Com- mand Attention of All.

The Grand Have you been to the Grand? Is a question that immediately follows how do you like it? It is to the hosts of summer visitors. Perhaps you also other theater like it in the country or it is because Chicago people are always showing the visitors a pleasant experience. The States. "Seats al soild for this performance" was the sign displayed many times last week at the States, and the reason for this great rush was the excellent program offered three big time acts were on the bill besides five reels of interesting pictures, to say Joe Jordan's famous Pelican orchestra. If there ever was a doubt as to the success of this house it has vanished long ago. It stays and keeps getting better every day. The Monogram Every once in a while the management of the Monogram puts one over on their knees every minute and then sometimes more. Can you imagine anything funnier than to see "Casey Jones," familiar to all Chicagoans on the South side, as he can imagine streets with his accordion and little box filled with sandwiches, singing and crying out I have fish sandwiches for five cents, and I have for five cents." He is in a big act that Billy Crumly is presenting with such howling success. Barton and Ecks put on a show for five cents, "I'm Lee," and do some buck dancing that is worth while. George Jones could have given Hermann the Great some pointers he have stood for them). Purcell and Thornton-song some old favorites such as "Late Hours," "Hag Time Violin" and "Back to Carobra," and were well received. All in all, he will tell the Monogram has had for some time. The Lux Voyers of first run pictures have long waited, where, where, even on the hottest nights, it is pleasant and something homelike about the music. The night is far above the average and the class of entertainers are the city, and all for five cents. Who would be a "Luxix?" Frank P. George at the Petin soon, Watch for date. Blind Boone Entertained. Last week, Blind Boone was the guest of Dave Peyton at his studio, Thirty-first and State streets, Mr. Peyton entertained the noted pianist for several hours and finally went to Hoskins, where the Boone sat near the orchestra at the Grand theater and Mr. Peyton and his orchestra rendered several selections from Blind Boone's repertoire. Mr. Boone stated that he pleased with his very select entertainment. NEW YORK NEWS. (By The Owl.) Lincoln Theater Miss Beatrice Hodge, that charming little soubet and buck dancer, renewed her former success, the Lincoln author, and the successful theatrical producer Hodge and Miss Keys, and do hope you will see the separation as a mistake and join him again. You were one among the best believers in the world. Ms. Butler and Bessie Edington, another very clever sister act, went big at the Lincoln last week. In fact, they do not know the difference between ducing dog. De Rose, female impersonator, was another act. He seems to please everywhere. The Gumdrop Trio, a nice act, came in very well. This act closed the first half. De Rose, held over, pleased all week. Bernard and Bland, a comedy act, went well. De Rose, known to the Lincoln audiences. They are pleased with her work at all times. Butler and Edington were also holdovers. You have got to go to some to be a holdover. You can answer as to what these holdover acts are. Lafayette Theater. "Pinchback's Visito to Uncle Remus," presented by Harry Brown's Stock Company, the Broncho Four, cowboy quartet, was great. Higgins, Phelps and company in a great, big band. Clinton and Rogers in songs and dialogue were also very good. Lester McDaniels, a trick bledleyist, was the scream. He did not sound too impossible. This fellow is a winner. The last half gave us Harry Brown's Southland Jubilee Stock Company with a continuance of the same act. The last half gave us Auto Girl did well in her work. The Colonial Singing Society was well received by b ythe audience. The scores beautifully at each performance. Crescent Theater Chief De Kells and his African lions were the big noise the first three days of the Crescent audiences. Those lions all looked at hi mvery time he entered the cage, as though ready to tear him limb by limb. He was not tarried only a short time in the cage with them. His act pleased. Denton and Francis, a comedy act, went very well. He Harrison, his son, Herschel Puzzel, a nice bunch of singers, cleaned up. Shinny Allen also went well. Frankli nTheater This little playhouse seems to hold its own and is using nothing but pictures. Later on the manager may put on an act. Some great feature pictures are used at Fifty-Ninth Street Theater One of the best shows of the season was at this house last week. Hamilton Kataoba accentuated the drama in Pamela Poe's nice novel act, went big. Cahill and others were on the bill. Family Theater Rosa Orr and picks went nicely. Miss Sadie Williams, of the team, was the most serious operation, which she successfully went through. She was able to fill the role of a Family theater and went big. The Andersons, Mamie and Eunna, found a tremendous opportunity for Perkins went well. Pioneer Theater. Buddy Glimore's Kids, a nice, classy sister act, were a big thing here. We engaged the change artists showed the good judgment of the management. This team drew good houses. August Williams, the ventriloquist, danced a big red big hit. These people are very clever, and, being old timers, know what the people want and just how to please them. Lewis and Lewis, singing the tame act and wooden shoe dancers, were great. Atlantic City—Palace Theater. Williams and Stevens headed the bill in their show, which was his Chinese Friend, which was a big laugh every minute. The Great Jordan, female, well with the audience, McCran as a singer won nicely. The Great George Fisher children sang songs, which was a scream. Rosebud Harris, monologue and buck dancing, went big at every show. The Bradrords were a big hit. well with the audience. Williams and Stevens again closed the bill, sending the audience happy and leaving things to be expected to surpass former box office receipts at this house. Name the business at the Palace theater, Atlantic City, has been very poor, so the management figured on a bunch of acts—If money would get them. The Griffin Sisters were the first to head a bill for the week of August 4. They did not pay the bill, and they toward this theater. Last week Williams and Stevens headed the bill for a week. They drew heavily. The Whiteman Sisters booed the bill, but packed houses are expected all week. To follow them will be the Negro Players, another good show, which is thought will increase the business. Williams and Stevens, who played the Palace theater, Atlantic City, last week, put the Far Rockaway opera house this week. ST. LOUIS, MO. Booker T. Washington Theater—The News in General. (By Walter S. Fearance, 2922 Laciede Street.) Act 1—Chicken Reel Beaman, eccentric comedian and grotesque dancer, opened the show in June at the owner Turpil's former home to have. Chicken Reel opened his act with a monologue that was a scream, and had the house go wild. This was not the first time that brought down the house. A little more chatter, followed by "Where the Green Grass Grows Long," a parody of "The Big Bang" and a dramatic "presence" big and dramatic dance was slipped to the audience in such a manner that sides and heads hurt from the constant laugh. His act went big, scoring a decided success. Act 2—The Fair Browns, presenting the cornet artist, appeared next, this being their second time here in three months, and scored their usual success. Although the audience was not impressed, she managed to get the audience going. Mr. Brown is some singer and knows how to deliver his songs and jokes in that appalling way. He screamed in applause with "How Would You Like to Marry Me," going big, followed by a dialogue Glide, as a scream screen. Miss Brown and her tantalizing dance steps scored a success. "Dixie Lake is Sweet Enough for Me," by Brown, went big. The act closed with a scream. Act 3—The Male Mocking Bird, Charles Anderson, the man with the golden voice, is some character singer, imitator and interpreter, the best on the market skinned, his violin imitation intermezzo went big, and was the instrument heard in this neck of the woods for many moons. "Sleep Baby Sleep," a song Anderson was went big. The yodeling in this song was excellent. "Baby Seals Blues," as rendered by Anderson, was worth going to see. The polished gentleman and sang "When the Cuckoo Sings," instantly appeared as the polished gentleman and his perfect yodeling, causing said audience to cheer like mad for more. Anderson's act is clean and should make a hit on the circuit, getting many hands whenever Act 4—Criswell and Bailey, in the "Leading Lady and the Cook," a rip-off of the movie, introducing the greatest female comedian, scored the greatest hit of the bill, receiving thunderous applause. And Miss Criswell's work is new and novel and has well earned the title of the premier female comedian. Miss Criswell's work and is good. The dialogue at the opening of the act started the ball of fun rolling. "Miss Criswell since when that Choo Choo Leaves for Alabama," bring forth call after call for more. "You Beautiful," she said. "Miss Criswell since when was followed by "Million Dollar Bail." In this song an admixture, Miss Criswell appeared to embrace her work with that of Fannie Brice, in other words, she earned the title of Fannie Brice in black face. Her eclectic style should make good in an aplace. Act 5—As an added attraction, Prof. Wm. Blue, the Ebony Sousa, rendered some wonderful selected cornet solos, themes and variations. A. Correction. In last week's issue a mistake was made in the personelle of those who rendered Milton Dollar $10,000. It should be Green and Mr. Green, instead of Miss Green and Mr. Green.

The murderer is seeing that things are all right. Chelsea Sellman and Jones stormed them at this house this week, making the biggest hit of any act that has been blackened.

The manager of the Crown Garden had the pleasure this week of presenting his patrons the first moving pictures with colored people as characters. The museum is located in the vicinity of Chicago, and which were quickly recognized by those of the audience who had visited that city. Lotte Grady, well-known performer and the most famous attractions of Chicago, were the characters. This is the first picture with colored subjects. It was a great success by way of entertainment, and it secured its position as well as securing Tim. The bill for the week is attractive. Bradford and Bradford BARRIO This tour is one at the Crown Garden, but it jumped into popular favor at once. This is largely due to the singing in that beautiful She caught the audience in that beautiful Jessica Jessica Jessica wasn't so much in stage movements; she was all there when she opened her mouth high class sopranos that has been appearing at the Crown Garden in the past few weeks. Her voice is her charm and which she has always put on for us. It is making me a wish to hear more of it. She is young, hence fresh in voice, meaning that she will be all she cares to be in the play. She paints him very and tall, also very funny. He doesn't start off as if he was going to do much, it is owing to him. She paints him all right. There is interest and fun in all he does and says.

Spencer Finley, Monologue, Paro dist. Finley also follows a first class line of performers doing a similar work. His performance is a Crown Garden patio. He gets it all over in a good way.

On Monday night his parrot songs were "You Are My Baby," "Row, Row, Row," "Take Me Home," "I'll Be Your Love," were full of wit and humor. On Tuesday night he changed his program, singing "Love," "I'll Be Your Love," and "Taging The Baby Sleep," featuring in this number a mute baby. Finley leaves them yelling for The Blank Sisters.

Brianna says a "Tiger Lily" a son of the band, "a son of the band," once humorous and serious, and Miss Blank has the ability to make it go as it should. It was a striking rendition, and she girls do a bit of a film scenes of the baseball park. This is done as a take-off to their song, "Baseball Rag." They become a pair of classmates and teachers to soise and then as, good coaches, spurring their men on to victory. The theater was full of baseball fans, men and women, and had to put it on aa. The Blank Sisters are new, but made a nice impression as capable performers. They dress prettily and becomely. "Pugh and Glenn," This team with the exception of Miss Glen is known to Crown Garden patrons. The work of Green and Pug is the same, and both having good, clear musical voles.

Mr. Editor, Sir: For the enlighten- ment of our students, for our ourselves and not in position to know, we wish you to give this item space in your workshop, and the same will be greatly appreciated. Duo now now playing the Colored Consolidated Circuit will at this time deal with three objects in connection, namely, the agents, the actors, and the workers of the agency we do not process, know anything about, but intrigue us with their processes and effcient characteristics, as Messrs. Dudley, Klein and Owley, we believe that these processes at such a time theatrical enterprises are ple, for colored people, will reach the status where class will predominate. Of these, we believe that we were, that accounts for the hardships imposed upon performers, in their having wife with the assistance of performers fending their patience, and their best efforts, these encumbrances shall be overridden. The managers concern will be when we have worked for we can say only we good things about. They have been kind, they have worked for us, they could for the comfort of all performers on the bill, and proving themselves, on the whole, real gentlemen. The patrons we should say, are very good. We have two distinctive acts, that is, one entirely different from the other, and although we have played to audience and appreciated the elaborate in the novelty, we always like the operas in our high-class singing act. They have been educated to the art, and appreciate the closing, which is refined by the performers must assist the managers to give our patrons entertainments that are clean, enlightening and elevating their closing, we must be careful and assertive. S. H. Dudley for his heroism (if we shall term it), in shouldering the burden of employment for colored performers, and for encouraging our theatergoers. We wish Mr. Dudley and the Colored Consolidated Vaudeville Agency long life and success abundantly. S. H.

Slater and the musicians soon signed and took the house by storm by singing several popular songs. Mr. Slater says the public shall be allowed at any small week, and the Walker was at all the same week, as it had been said that home talent would not draw, but Goodoole and Deltkirk produced the music products, packed the houses at every performance. This week's bill seems to have 'em, as they have gotten the house from the band for some time. Miss Tumor helps to make and songs and dance artist, opens the show and is a scream with his comic dancing, and songs and dance artist, opens the show in a musical sketch, also singing and dancing. Mr. Harris is without a doubt one of the best rythmone trombone players heard for some time. Miss Tumor helps to make and songs and dance artist, opens the show and is a sweet dancer and singer. Ethylene and Luke close the bill and change costumes in every song. The orchestra plays Butter featuring on the harmonica. Without fear of contradiction we can say that we have one of the best orchestras in the world. The bill this week is without a doubt one of the best that the house has ever passed. The bill, which the senators had proved to Manager Slater that they do appreciate good vaudeville, and his responses to the week's headlines, will all the week is headed by Harris and Turner, in a very good act, consistent with the tone of Mr. Harris with his trombone, was a scream, and Miss Turner in her song, "Keep It Up," was forced to respond to the news that Harris, the most dourlist, more than made good. His eccentric dancing being far out of the ordfictional theatrical world, never, daly doubt, played a role. ment, and are repeating their former great success. The orchestra is still standing out in the music world as an added instrument; Butler, our popular trap drummer, is featuring a xylophone solo, *Fantasia on William Tell*, and still holding his own as usual. Andrew Cargile, our clever cornetist, has been a regular in the country. Mr. Dudley, our leader, has been slightly indisposed, but is once more enjoying the very best of health. Mr. Dudley at the piano, is still the talk of the room, being one of our very best pianists. DOUGLASS THEATER, MACON, GA C. H. Douglass, Prop.

MOSELY FLAYS COL ORED VAUDEVILLE ACTS Juniper and Carrington came to me and begged for a job last week, showing me a book he had written, but he could not use them this week. Well, I booked them for the week of 6 and, thinking about it, I decided to up for acts. I advised all other outstanding acts. Then come Juniper and Carrington, telling me that they were sorry, but I booked them for the week of 6 and, in my house he would cancel all of their future time with him, which I do not believe Mr. Henry did, as he is too much of a gentleman. There are several other acts that I would pay my respects to, namely, Cross and I, who are trying to keep other good and reliable acts from coming to my house. Now nearly every act that I have done is trying to keep other good and reliable acts from coming to my house. And that they are professional flimfilmers and that they were caught in the act of picking pockets on Church street, and that they are professional actives, while he made his get-away. She was convicted of robbing the man of $3.15 and given a sentence of 10 years in prison, and came out branded by all of Norfolk as a jailbird, while he is now a fugitive from justice. O Crossbys, why did he not write to the chief of police of Norfolk. Another team known as Taylor and Taylor, a man and woman came to me and failed to make good, but for sympathy I kept them one week and canceled them. I bear they are knocking also. Better and try to get an act that will make good. Now, I want to say that this class of performers is the thing that is making hard work possible. No one will believe anything that the most of them say. Nearly all of the houses South, with the exception of few, are the ones that I value using pictures only. I am one among the few colored men in the South owning and managing his own house, and I have a theater, the Fine Howard, in Washington, D. C.; clean, neat, sanitary and well ventilated, with all modern improvements, including a fireproof door over 400, and if I don't come in contact with a better class of acts than those I just named, I will use the best pictures only, although I have been using pictures five years, without closing or repairs. Reliable acts, read my ad, in The Free man. C. W. MOSLEY. C. W. MOSLEY. Sole Owner and Manager of the New Pekin Theater. NOTES OF LA VITA BIG SHOW.

Whatever we on this side may think of Jack Johnson, concerning his career this country. It is a great country, reliable man. In he has no such intention. In a signed article published in La Box, he said in French paper Paris, he said in French side, of which was 'M yMissitude.' I count on settling permanently in his United States. --- the champs memoirs if ever fully seen out will prove interesting reading. "What This Day to Me would prove as an astonishing story," he here follows extracts of his article seen in the French sporting papers: "Since my return from France to America, I have been the most persecuted man, in the whole world. The Americans, decidedly unable to stomach my victories over Jeffries and some others, tried to destroy and ruin me. There has not been a day on which I was not the victim of some plot, on some ridiculous acts, and only with great loss of money off me." This is *palliative*: this is the truth. The champ was exploited, helped up as surely as to undo him—on one occasion, son taught sunburnly, bitterly but he son discovered that there was a conspiracy to undo him—on another. He to or to stay soon became a grave question with him. Which was to his advantage? If things continue as is promised, his choice of flight was wise. Says the impulse to take action against me of violence to my chauffeur, when, in fact, he menaced me and I was forced to give up heavy damage. At the same time, the speed limit, when I had made ten miles an hour, and on the charge that my auto smoked, which was absolutely false, and the fines were higher than the trade in white female slaves, when I had made travelled with my legitimate wife from one state to another¹ clear that Johnson has it as it is generally thought. The impression in this country is that Johnson travelled with white wife who was perhaps a comrade wife who was intended to come to Chicago from Pittsburgh. On this point the government succeeded in making a case that Johnson was transporting a government has the reputation of making out good, plain, unmistakable cases, but it felt the small business of petting a dog was to prosecution, was甘要 to get rid of the "pestiferous" Johnson at any cost. This manifest anxi-ness was a real issue with public demand one in race prejudice rather than justice. Then again: I was arrested, and was not released I had deposited a bail of 50,000 francs I had deposited a bail of 50,000 francs they were after. It would take all the papers of this paper to tell my misfortune and I would be punished the day when I was punching the judge public the cord holding the ball broke, and the bag, projected ten meters, struck me into the beast.

MORRIS KNOCKS OUT McKAY Floors New Yorker in Third Round of the Fight. WINNIPEG. Manitoba. — "Fighting Fred" McKay of New York, was knocked out by a third round of a scheduled twelve-round bout here tonight, when he was awarded a championship gift him with a left to the jaw, followed by a right to the same spot, which sent McKay through the HOOSIER PUG DENIES THAT ASHE KNOCKED HIM DOWN. Jack Dillon returned recently from Saskatoon, Canada, accompanied by Frank Cantwell, and he denied that George Ashe, the eastern lightning bolt, lighted him, Friday. Press dispatches gave Ashe a draw, but Dillon had with him Canadian newspapers to take the Hoolooger pug tripped over Ashe's foot and fell. Cantwell said Dillon was arrested before the fight and put under bond not to engage in a fight. But he said, Dillon could not afford to knock out Ashe. He said Dillon was discharged from the court on the ground that the attack was a boxing match and not a prize fight. DETROIT TEAM OFFERED $100,000 FOR TY COBE WASHINGTON. — The Washington baseball club is willing to give President Navin, of the Detroit Tigers, $100,000 for the CO Manager, to have a check for that amount with him and was expected to flash the paper under Navin's eyes.

Special to the Freeman. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Aug. 21.—For the first time in many years Louisville, Ky., a fair size burglar, has been given a first-class semiprofessional baseball organization. The Louisville White Sox, without doubt one of the classiest nines, white o'colored, ever gotten together in Louisville. With the possible exception of the White Sox are out-drawing any colored semi-professional team in the entire country. Records show that they are the only people per game, which is not so bad when one considers the fact that you are buckling at against at least a dozen of people per game in the city of Louisville, one alone playing at the regular league park when the American Association association are away The White Sox hold the distinction of being the only semi-pro club in Louisville booking out of town teams. The White Sox have been booked with the White Sox this season, such as THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER WEST PITCHES SHUTOUT A. B.

Manitoba—Though the referee declared the bolt a draw, friends of Jack Dillon of Indianapolis pointed to Dillon's nearly every round of last night's twelve-round battle with George Ashe, of New York, and insisted that he should have had the verdict. The New Yorker sent him back to look for Dillon but Dillon was on his back in an instant, fighting aggressively until the final gong. Dillon will have to be reckoned with in doping likely title winners. He is a newcomer in the middleweight class, and in holding off such an experienced battler as Dillon speaks wel for him. Dillon was on his back for five years, as the knockdown was the first of his career, and he has fought for about five years, meeting the best of his class in the world. It was Dillon's proud boast that no man had ever flomed him, and when Ashe, whom he considered a second rater, took his measure, the Hoosier slugger was overrated. Both fighters were considerably punished. Dillon drew blood in the first round, and had a slight advantage, but he was unable to follow it. Ashe had been just as eager for a scrap as Dillon. SAM LANGFORD IN THE COUNTRY What Are We Going to Do About It? Now that Sam Langford is back in this occasion, the team wants him, we going to do about it. For nearly two years the Boston Negro has been away. During that time his ring performance has been better with Sam McVea over in Australia. But it appears that McVea has been beaten so often, and badly, that he is no longer available. So Langford had to take Langford and Jeannette Again. It looks as if Sam would have to begin where he left off, battling with Joseph McVea, but he met about a dozen times in all, and while the Boston pugilist has earned a decision or two during that period he has failed to win. He has been a decisive win; and Jeannette has always contended that he can goat Sam in a finish fight. Other teams Tom McCarye or some other western promoter had Sam and Joe matched for twenty rounds, when all of a sudden Langford made up his mind to go Australia. Jeannette managed a claim in the ear of the outcome, long match with Joe drove Sam out of the country. Whatever the reason, Langford stayed away as long as he possibly Dan McKettrick, who directs Jeanneette's affairs, says that the match managers are concerned. Jeanneette is ready to fight Sam on a moment's notice, and his manager, John Langer, is concerned with Langford. McKearay is working on Sam, and if successful, will hold the bout on California Admission day, September 1. New York state the boxing commission will not stand for matches between whites and blacks, so Sam and Joe are allowed to fight in the neighborhood. Could they persuade any one of the hopes to take a chance? California is one of the few spots where boxing is a business in the future, and judging from the turning down of the proposed four-round bout between Charles and John Langer, the affirmation that was not approve of the mingling of colors in the ring any more than in the East. Looks like Langford's next match will be with Jeannette. The winner ought to be with her, because the title for himself. Maybe by that name a good white heavy will have been deceived. While they is life there is a little hope. CAPTAIN FIELDS' TRACK TEAM Captain Davie Fields is going to have a great year, to be known as the Peerless Wonders. Keep your eyes on them.

HUNTINGTON, Va.—Following a recent court decision that the upland ticket coupons Railroad must take the upland ticket coupons, the holder, William Jackson, a porter on the railroad, is said to be $20,000 richer. He had gathered hundreds of the coupons gifted to him by his suits to determine the validity of the 2-cent-fare law, while the railroad was still in operation. The porters will be several thousand dollars richer, it is said, as a result of pickering the porters. The railroad, knowing Jackson and others had thousands of these coupons, wanted to settle only with the original owners, but the courts have decreed otherwise. CINGINNATI, OHIO Sacramento.
