Anderson Gives Respect at Bethesda Baptist Church—Patti Brown Sings at Educational Meeting—Dr. D. A. Bethea Here. (By Cary B. Lewis.) (Freeman Bureau, 3000 South State St. Phone, Douglass 8058, Automatic 75-233. CHICAGO, Ill., Sept. 10 (Special) Recognition has come from a source of our interest in the work of "Little Dreaming." S. E. Kiser, the distinguished poet of everyday life, who is a special contributor to the Chicago Record-Herald, the leading newspaper of the city, and day morning a six-line poem by Penton Johnson, entitled "The Dying Rose." Mr. Kiser pronounces "The Dying Rose" of the most beautiful contemporary poem that has ever seen. "A Little Dreaming" is becoming more popular every day since the last notice in the Indianapolis Freeman. It has been published in the State and City Poetries of Colored Womennem, and has been admitted to the shelves of the Chicago public library. The city, labarian Monson, has a contemporary verse on his shelves. At a recent social affair, Mrs. David Manson presented a copy to Mrs. Lottie Meridith of book stores were sold out Labor Day and were unable to supply the demand. **Plymouth Wheatley Glide.** Monday night, Masonic hall, 3956 State street, was the scene of one of the largest community fashionable hall. The girls residing at Plymouth Wheatley hall, 3530 Forest avenue, tended the home a benefit dance as a means of lifiting the community. In honor of Miss Jennie Lauren, a former North Carolina school teacher, the girls secured the united support of the local press, the community, and the school board. A very enjoyable evening was spent by about five hundred of Chicago's best. The music was divine, the rows handsome and the woodwork well in. The balcony, progressive whist, under the supervision of Mrs. Etta Schauer, was a very enthusiastic partner. The woodwork took as if $100 will be added to the mortuary fund. Tomorrow night, the girls home for self-supporting women was presented them a check as their contribution to the cause. The Plymouth Wheatley Home for self-supporting women was presented them a check as their contribution to the Wheatley Club, under the leadership of Mrs. Elizabeth Lindsey Davis, who is now serving her third term as national organizer of the women's club. The object was to establish an institution for colored girls from other communities so they could find protection and security. As she explains, Chicago seewomen and like others has never, until home was founded, had a place to promote themselves and the accomplishments of a cosmopolitan civilization. The office of the home is a handsome structure on Forest avenue. It cost $5,500 a year, and heavy debt has been kept open largely by means of entertainments. The aid has been provided and chiefly from our own people. Since 1982, the matron's roster, 3,652 girls have also done have been housed. The popularity of the home and the lack of training equipment makes it necessary for a larger home. The home has received the moral and financial support of our leading citizens. Mrs. Fay Jones, the poet, has contributed four plays, the Pekin theater, and Herbert Bowie with Mr. Johnson, gave two big benefits. Eliser, the Peaceless Club and others have contributed aid. Jesse Binga, the banker, has always donated liberally to the home, as has his industrial and educational ministers as Dr. D. P. Roberts, Dr. Stew-Dr. Braden have always been leaders in the support of the church to the cause. In fact all Chicago wishes to see the Pupils Wheatley home prosper and have long life.

Senator William Lorimer, who preided to the singing, paid a high tribute to the singers, paid a salutary call: "I have heard grand opera for me." and I can honestly make this statement; there are very few of the grand opera singers that can surpass your own Madam Patti Brown, who so sweetly sings for us in her concert. I trained voice; this alone goes to show my people that when you are capable we must be able to hear her. I heard at Bethel A. M. E.

The School That Edwards Built. In the Arabian Nights and in other stories we read of palaces and of cities where the true stories of how many of the Negrão schools have been built in the South are no less wonderful than these fairy tales. Such a story is that of the school from 1893, William J. Edwards graduated from Tuskegee Institute. The folklore of the school consists and three students, he established, in a log cabin, at his home in Wilcox county, Alabama, the Snow Hill Normal School, the elaborate prospectus showing what the school hoped to be, but down there in one of the most benighted of the black belt colleges, he was the present and a crude way to minister to the needs of the people among whom he was reared. Here he was aboard the present ship of the log cabin now a school plan tworth about $100,000. It consists of 1,900 acres of land and three pupils are now some four hundred and the faculty has increased from one teacher to thirty-five. There are fifteen industries where carpentry, woodsmithing, weedwrighing, carpentry, saw-milling, brickmaking, brickmason, painting, printing, general farming, carpentry, woodsmithing, weedwrighing, cooking, laundering and haskery. The school is accomplishing the object for which it was started, that is, to help students learn. It was first established all the land owned by the colored people of the vihidity region. Now, within a radius of ten miles they own, more than 10,000 acres in farms and woodlands, and more than 100 acres. The one-room log cabins in which people lived when the school was first established, with from two to five rooms, public school houses and church building, of which they are proud. Through the Black Belt Conference, the Agricultural Demonstration work and the rural school work, the in-person school have been extended to every part of the county. Snow Hill has sent out something like 70,000 men and women who are now working in Willett County as ties as farmers, carpenters, black-smith printers, seamstress and other jobs. There are three off-shoots of the Snow Hill Institute. John Thomas, who graduated from there in 1901, established in a section of Wilcox county, where education was provided by a training school. Another graduate, Emanuel M. Brown, has established, at Richmond, in Dallas county, Alabama, the Street Manual training school. The purpose of the course is to teach three acres of land. There are about 250 students enrolled. At Laurinburg, North Carolina, Emanuel B. McDuffie, another graduate of Snow Hill, established in Birmingham Normal and Industrial Institute. Thus, within twenty years after gradi- lam J. Edwards has built up from a small beginning in a one-room log cabin, an institution that is a monument to him- self and a potent force in the general uplift of the population. NORGERT J.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Having a bit of slavery over in the Philippines, our new possessions. We have some house-cleaning to do. Have you heard the news from Maine? The G. O. P. scored in the congressional contest of the Third district of that State. The new party ran third. There must be a revolution in the feminine mind or why these slit skirts and X-ray costumes? Some of them are pretty enough, but what has caused the revolution? New Haven, Conn., is said to have a new $40,000 Odd Fellows' building. That's going some for a town where the supposed few colored people were supposed not to be doing anything much. Can't always tell. Got old Sol on the retreat at last. We will be glad enough to see his highness in all of his glory are many moons. He's been so insistent this summer that one feels that he would not care if he never came back. Great effort is being made to have a great meeting by the National Independent Political League at Boston, September 15-17. The object of the meeting is to protest against the political wrongs now endured, and especially to protest against the discriminating tendency of the government at Washington. The Governor of New York is not without friends. They have begun to stand up for him, insisting that Murphy shall not fire a Governor and grab up the municipal offices all within one year. We are from Missouri. Show us where a legislature or congress has the right to impeach an official for deeds done prior to entering his office. Private citizens are not impeached. Speaking of the mayoralty candidates, the Star says that the right way is to help Johnson beat Bell. It sounds good, all right, but Dr. Johnson was nominated as a Progressive Men will not forget the cause of that party, or rather the lack of cause Dr. Johnson may not be the right man to beat Bell. That he has so easily strained to a new organization is not in his favor as a man of special force, but in his favor as a man of interest in the "anything but a beat Bell" mayor who is firm in all respects. Dr. Johnson ran away from his party without cause. Is he a man of stability? According to report, the government at Washington has concluded to take down the signs posted about the public buildings which pointed to special places for Negroes. It can well afford to do so. A government has no right to exhibit a bit more prejudice than absolutely necessary. In theory it has no right to exhibit any prejudice whatsoever. But governments are at times compelled to temperize in spite of the beautiful dream of absolute equality. We know how far the discrimination business. We will not sit in patience and see it voluntarily join the crusade of persecution. No general voice has demanded this. We do not think that thoughtful men, prejudiced as they may be, care to see prejudice carried so far. And the News has it that we should oppose both Bell and Bookwalter, the Democratic and Republican candidates for mayor, because their candidates involve national politics. That is what it has to say this week. A short time ago the voters were advised against these two men because they represented party rings, political cliques and so forth, and also that they stood for certain influences not in the interest of the public welfare. Are we to consider all of these objections? We can't see what harm arises in event Messrs. Bell and Bookwalter do stand for one side or the other of the greater questions of the country, or if they seek to surround themselves with men who have opinions along the line of national politics. It's a poor candidate for the mayor's office that does not have a greater political outlook. A candidate is none the less able to know something about the tariff helps to surround himself with men of views on the tariff. It's no crime to know politics in a big way. All we want is a man who will do the business of the mayor's office faithfully and fearlessly. If he happens to know more than local politics it won't hurt him. THE K. OF P.'S IN BALTIMORE. The Colored Man, a publication of Boston, has the following concerning the recent Baltimore meeting of the Knights of Pythias: "The white people of Baltimore are still unrecovered from the shock given them by the army of colored Pythians that took the city last week. Twenty thousand colored visitors in Baltimore without a single arrest for the simplest of offenses our white neighbors were not prepared to understand, but by and by many things which are now deemed confusing will appear with clearness. The parade was not only the largest, but in every respect the most orderly and the most brilliant pageant Maryland ever saw." And perhaps there can be no fitter demonstration of the fifty years of progress of the Negro race than these military pageants of the Knights of Pythias. The splendid military discipline and the splendid equipment are more than that. They are the flowering of all of those processes of industrialism and commercialism—in fact, all of the civilizing processes that make for a people. They did not reach this state of perfection by the way of all of those before them that have reached the perfection of civilization as it is understood. What is true of these is also true of millions yet. The many that have come up through the ways of civilization, and that are coming, should get the race respect, both for the effort and for the result. As it is there is a studious effort to hold the Negroes down to a fixed condition, a thing contrary to nature. This is done in spite of the enobling influences, the refining influences around and about, and which know no race, color or previous condition of servitude. That is to say that that which makes for a people at their most of one race, makes for a people at their most of another race. The churches would be merely labels if they did not stand for the utmost man. Industry, thrift and economy would be travesty if they failed in doing their part in the making of the utmost man. So it is to be hoped that the Knights of Pythias' pageants and other demonstrations of fitness as a race will make their appeal where it will do the most good. For if those whom we have in mind will not reason the thing out, falling to reason from cause to effect, then let them have those masterly object lessons, those that sink deeply into the minds of men. SEGREGATION AT WASHINGTON We have worried along with the Wilson administration thinking that something would develop to show the Negroes that they were not out of the calculation as citizens. But in view of the segregation movement at Washington, among public officials and the gift of the Haitian ministership to a white man has about taken the run out of us. We can't see what can be done to make amends for such an impolite course. It appears that a studious effort has been made to recognize the well known civil evils of today. The government has gone out of its way to do this. Whatever of success comes of such recognition will be only momentarily. President Wilson should be proof against these small meannesses, rather than indulge them by his silence. What's the presidency, or any elephant in the room and sustained by injustice to men? The Chicago Post of recent date said: "President Wilson's slowness in taking up the question of the enforced segregation of the colored employees in the government departments at Washington may readily be explained by his absorption in the larger problems of foreign and domestic statecraft which have confronted him. The President is trying himself out on the Mexican problem and other big questions where there is but little risk of unpopularity. He might let down his buckets right where he is. This segregation has sprouted, budded and blossomed right under his nose. It was not necessary. There was no demand. He permitted a wholesale insult to a race of millions, and in the meanwhile pleasing but very few. We have said that segregation in some form is known the country over, but it found an unusual place in the public offices at Washington. The publication referred to also said: "For the irony of the thing is certainly patent to any man. Within fifty years after the settlement of the war which was—we thought—to establish the civil identity of the black man we find Bourbonism honeycombing the federal government and reaching for the President himself. Any elaboration of the thing would be gratuitous." And then again: "We are still in the backwash of the '80s, still suffering from the monotous reiteration of that old cry to "let up on the race question," and the are many northern senators and a figure who will got care a fig what the President does in the matter. But history will care, and perhaps the President's greatest need is to be protected from the indifferentism of Washington long enough to see the question in the larger historical significance." We are impressed with the very timely thought that history will care. And Mr. Wilson with all of his education should see that it is written as proper and as consistent as it is within his power to have it so. We mean that he should stand unsurely for the rights of men, he would not in his opinion only when overwhelmed by an avalanche of opposing sentiment. He has not met any such opposition, yet he permits segregation, he sent a white man to Haiti. THE POLITICAL FUTURE. Former Governor Folk, of Missouri, speaking at South Bend, Ind., this week, said that it was in the air that Theodore Roosevelt will be the nominee of the Republicans in 1916. Speaking of Governor Sulzer, of New York, he said: "Sulzer may have be reprehensible, but he is not being impeached for any misconduct, but because he refuses to do the blinding of Tammany. Had his offense been many times worse than that it is charged, would have gone on to be charged had he not broken with the ring. I'm not a Tammany Democrat." said Folk with emphasis It seems that the distinguished Missouriian bases his prediction on the tendency of the Democratic party to break up. One little affair, perhaps, does not augur the end; but New York is a sort of Keystone State, as is usually said of Pennsylvania. Very much depends on what New York does as to the future of the greater political parties. That State is in every way influential; it is great in population, in wealth, education—the things that count most in politics. By education we have in mind its results—to the end of achievements, bringing things to pass, things of whatsoever nature, political or otherwise. We have in mind its dynamic status, potentiality, the possibility, whether exerted or lying in abeyance. New York has this power, which, with the material thing of population and wealth, makes it the master State of the Union, by far. The Democracy is hit hard in this impeachment business. As a matter of downright probity, honesty, it were best that it be aired, since it has become a thing of general concern. The ventilation brought about as it was, will not have the wholesome effect that it could have had if the impeachment had sprung from the head of honest conviction, rather than a thing of retaliation, as it is said. Mr. Murphy, Tammany's chief, does not have the reputation of being pure and sweet, politically. His ingenuity in the Sulzer prosecution will bear more or less of a taint at which men freed of political bias turn up their noses. In short, the people, as we think it, will insist on seeing the New York muddle as a political mix-up, adding the same to the inefficiency of the Democratic party. Mattie McFarland has noticed the increase in business this week. The game at least is expected to be a big social function, especially if the weather is pretty. Twenty-five young society misses will sell souvenir programs for the occasion. Chicago Giants Sunday. The hicago Giants will play a series of games next Sunday and the following week. It will be announced that the Chicago Giants game the Americans a run for their money the last time the two teams played and this being about the last of the season, great interest is being manifested.

The Columbia is a th What's done in New York, in this case especially, will be a reflection on the administration at Washington, owing to the political value of that State. When Mr. Folk says that it is in the air that Mr. Roosevelt is headed for the White House in 1916, it is because the Democrats are putting it into the air. It is certain that Democrat good cannot result from the prosecution, regardless of how the verdict goes. In fact, seeing the ending from the beginning, as it were, it will be a political calamity to put the New York Governor out, and it will be no less so to allow him to remain if the charges are conclusively, convincingly proved. The Democrats will lose in either event. No wonder that it is in the air. Mr. Folk's a Roosevelt partisan. In the looming up he sees only Roosevelt, with all of his formidability. And it may be just the Roosevelt juck to be the man, in spite of the George Washington tradition. At the last election four million voters and above paid the Washington tradition no mind. It meant its repudiation by the four millions and more. And if the Colonel were not so ambitious the chances are that his stern opposers would give way before the avalanche of popularity. But the Colonel has shown undoubted signs of imperialism. Three terms equal twenty, provided he could get them. If he were a George Washington, fighting back more terms rather than fighting for an addition, he would indeed be in the race, if he were not already there. West Baden Sprudels Lose First Two Second Game in Eleven Innings- Chicago Giants to Play Next Sunday Looks Bright for Firemen and Policemen—Every Request Asked by Manager Lewis Granted by Mayor, Chief of Police and Fire Marshal Transparent and Slit Skirts to Be Worn by Style Leaders. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, Ill. Sept. 10 (Special). Sept. 26. The West Bank prides of West Baden, Ind., came to Chicago last Sunday and started a series of five games. Young Johnson was on the most for the Giants, having married man was in excellent form and did credit to himself by winning from the famous "Steel Arm" John Taylor. The last pitcher was at Schorling's park, but toward the last both pitchers weakened and were hit frequently. Johnson, however, having the pitchers weakened and was the strongest in the pinches, usually Johnson is one of the pitchers of the Giants that is given bad support, but just the reverse was true on Sunday. Pete Hill, who won a reputation for having won a game last week by hard hitting, repeated some of his good work in the pitchers at the proper time. Duncan hit a three-bagger that was a winner and was presented with a bouquet of hand-clasping flowers. Young lady in the box said to the "press" don't fail to record it, and smiled as Duncan eased home from third. The crowd was a weather lot and a fine game. The score: GIANTS. Petway, c R. H. P. A. E.

By the time The Freeman is off the press on Thursday, The Firemen and Policemen shall have played their final conclusion in readiness for the game. The mayor of the city, chief of police and fire marshal have done everything possible to aid Cary B. Jewls in making the event one of the biggest successes in his park. In many respects it will resemble the world's series as equally as much interest has been taken in the game by ex-convict Robert B. Browne, the demand for styles that all of the dressmakers have been working overtime making transparent and silt skirts and the material that they have used in the material because of the demand being so great for the latest hats. Mrs Rosa Morgan states that she never had a run a car in the city. Mattie McFarland *has* not noticed the incomprehensible quarrel between her and at least it is expected to be a big social function, especially if the weather is pretty.

LOUISVILLE, Ky.—In one of the best played games seen this season at Spring Bank Park the Louisville White Sox dejected after the score by the score of 5 to 4. Both teams put up a fast game and the contest was pulled on in the record time one hour before the game. Simpson of the new twirlers of the White Sox club, pitched a steady game and deserved to win, but pitched a good game for visitors, but with no runs.

COLUMBIA INDIANAPOLIS. Big Musical Comedy Production Coming to This Theater. Success has apparently once more smiled upon Henry P. Dixon, the young and enterprising manager, who seems to be invariably in advance of his contemplement, and whose work, which is known as "The Belles of Beauty Row," and which company will hold the boards at the Columbia theater for the week, commencing September 15, he has interaction, access to the stage, biased in that already has come to be regarded as one of the best productions now on the Columbia circuit.

The following is the average amount of inch space taken up each week during the past four months: The above making a grand total of 7,162 inches display advertisements in the new year’s months, which is a record-breaker for upvote and a colorful weekly newspaper.

THE PROGRESSIVE THEATER, AT AUGUSTA, GA. There was no need for surprise when the Jennings Stock Company, composed of Brown, Brown and Cohen and Jennings and Jennings, delivered the goods at the Progressive theater last week. "The play that Jennings and Jennings presented to the audience the audience hung breathlessly on every word that was said, and the coming of the show being the most talented set of actors to see on this side in several months. The team of Berringer and Berringer has worked hard and is growing to be quite a favorite. Mr. Berringer continues to furnish the audiences with many clever and clever monologues, with how he handles the hot, still with us, and are responding to several encores nightly. Mr. Houze's comedy is extremely attractive. His wife's work is extremely attractive. NOTES OF 101 RANCH REAL WILD (By Sam Ford.) Ohio, like all the other states, is turning out in vast numbers, crowding our seating capacity and overflowing clear down to the kitchen, old string patterns, we bears the scars of the flood; she was there with almost a turn-away, and the annex says it was a jam from the opening until we enjoyed every son and joke of the merry minstrels, Nash, Ford, Brown, Mitchell and Williams. The music kept them all swaying from start to finish. Mr. George V. Connors, a taking a flight home Saturday, accompanied by his wife, and they report everything in fine order on the big farm. We will have a chance to see it this week, the Connors folks never do a thing, by halves. Just watch Sam Ford eat. Bake. Casey, Casey. Just look on. Bake. Casey, Casey. All of them. Our roster is just the same as it was the first week out. We like the Freeman out on he prayer day proclaiming that he likes the individual effort would be more many and perhaps more effective. We all think we would rather hear a dog bark than whistle. The Parker Stock Company Doing Up to-Date Comedy at the Lyric Extraordinary attraction last week at the Lyric theater, Miami, Fl., headed by the Parker Stock Company, present-menting a show that was a scream from the start to finish, when Matt and Jeff played the exit march, sending to their homes a well-presented scream. This company is new in these parts, and if all reports are true, they will put on as good, if notetter, shows than the theatrical patrons of this city are used to seeing. The Olio, reinforced on either side by an A- opening and final, served to make the show glorious and glorious melody. In the past we were Miss Robie Peeples, a dainty little soubret, whose singing was enjoyed by all who heard her; George Richardson in a funny monologue; and the real treat for the patrons of the Lyric; Bailey and Bailey, so different a team, whose singing and dancing and witty improvisation were uproar of laughter throughout the entire act, which seemed to please, judging from the applause they received; and the real treat for the Jones, another comedian, who has made himself a favorite in this house. The patrons always enjoy seeing and hearing what always has something new to hand them. Miss Cora Fisher Glenn, of the team of Glenn and Glenn, a good singing and dancing soubret, whose clever work has won her many awards, shouters ever, appeared here. She responded to five and six encounters nightly. Parker and Stevens, those two candy kinks who were the most particular and will win admiration anywhere, appeared here. Tommy Parker of this team is stage manager and has been a part of many plenty of music and mirth, different entirely from those put on by yormer stage managers, who had the house as high as the stage, and who were on a single musical comedy. People get tired of one class of shows all the time, and have been crying for a variety, and have been crying to give our patrons better entertainment. The turn of the tide also put new life into our manager, M. Maulshtb, who was a longtime friend from a complaint inflicted upon him by some of our former house breakers. He was a man who put their hands in a manager's pocket extracting dough under false pretenses. Mr. Walker, the proprietor, has opened the door to the South, in the old Aldrome adjoining the Lyric theater, and it seems as if the show turns out in this garden, one beehive full of bees. "Left Mit" Fascalh and Shorty Lewis still hold their own in the pit, and send regards to friends in and out of the proffessor. The ghost has never been late, and good people can get booked always. Geder Walker, owner; C. M. Maulshtb, manager. THE AUDITORIUM THEATER, PHIDADELPHIA, PA Week of September 8. King and Gee, Clarence Powell, Gaines and Brown, Eddie Daye, Williams and Brown, Quentin Quarterly, a company in the theater been newly patented is looking fine. Mr. J.

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 Windows 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 $200 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, $15; Chambers for adult females, cost of charter, 10; 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 tent of eight 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. Address all communications to J. E. BUSH, N. G. S., Box 36 Little Rock, Ark. Wm. Alexander, N. G. M., 504+ W.

Seeing is believing, and to see the bill at the Grand theater, Cleveland, Ohio, where we placed is sufficient. No bill is required to Taylor and Taylor, the originals from the East. Diana Clark, manager of the Sanger show annex, is still able to please the people, and has never lost a performance from the effects of that light shock by lighting. No bill is required to Taylor and Taylor. Hicks is doing some good work singing "At the Devil's Ball." NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. (Tim E. Owsley, Prop.) At the head of the program of the crown Garden are the words "some man has been the master of the garden" about and the one of this week is keeping company with those that have been. The orchestra tried itself out, doing Wag Mansky, as a conductor of the comeds call the lead violinist, went to it in a big way. Kelley, as a conductor of the comeds call the lead violinist, went to it in a big way. A thing he does not care cary much about. The trombones and cornets were like soldiers doing the "double quick." Plummer, as a conductor, all else were oblivious to the audience. Should have mentioned that the man at the trump worked as he needed him, and that he needed for his business. That Wagman's awful. Billy Ham-Tree Harrington. it will be noted that Billy has some name. He also proudly announces that he is the boy with the big feet. Well, he frequently he spares no nails in advertising them. He does a chicken reel eccentric dancing stunt which is grotesque enough, owing to his magni pedes (big feet) and slender legs. He is amusing in his slip-on shoes. Billy is also a monologist, dealing out some new ones along with the old ones, of which he puts over in a way that he is not easily noticed. He pleasing little stunt of giving the musicians; he shows cleverness here as a comedian. He slings "San Francisco Round" a number that goes well. He proved a comedian, getting better the longer he worked. The Fair Browns, James and Mamie. This team gave the Crown Garden patrons a splendid treat. The Browns have been given this time as never before. They take the characters of boy and girl, both doing good impersonation. They have has developed into an interesting performer and actress. She is a vivacious character—chock full of life, with her pretty figure, pretty clad and handsome, mono-present, on a stage delight. Her Friary Prose is a thing of beauty, has not been surpassed on one Crown Garden stage. Her singing is virtuous and琴声 like thinking Only of You." His voice is not only good, but great. If grand open was in fashion with the race, he was on as a star. The audience also saw it that way, if applause counts for anything. They were open with a breezy number. "How's it open with one was one of those rapid firing turns, which is so effective when well done. They do they close with "The Man Who Game Browns is playing with their other work. The Fair Browns have a good act, which they act good. Criswell and Bailey-Comedian and Straight. Orris Crawl and Laura Bailley, after an earlier few weeks, are right back at the Crown Guild Theater, where the record as fun makers. It belongs to the most popular teams seen at this theater. Miss Criswell is one of those comedians that can be seen time and time again, but much so that she does not need to get a reward on it to keep it. Only Ora Criswell can Criswell song. Take her "Midnight Cinema" song. No one will have the nerve to tell her that the lines are so cleverly wrought out; they are so humor owing to the situation. There is humor owing to the situation. There is humor owing to her tone of facial expression. Miss Bailey does a splendid straight, she proper frame of mind when feeling, beating, and breathing. She proves a good performer because she appears natural in what she does, makes, and feels. She greatly assists Miss Criss well by her made situations. She has a pleasing smile. "What a Beautiful Dream," which was well received. She does a little skit which is worked out cleverly and continues throughout. Miss Bailey advertises for a leading lady for a theatrical company. She does a little skit for the disemption is for a servant. Miss Bailey employs her as servant as she needs one. Miss Criswell concludes that she do little to help the lady absorb the latter comes back, seeing what Miss Criswell can do. She concludes that she is the very lady for the job of leading a company, she is good comedy and good straight work. Miss Criswell, as th e leading lady, comes on looking like "My Coal Black Dress." She is a gown is a dream, a gauzy yellowish silk, edged with brown curt, a two-piece cosmetics on the joy, and the science goes wild because she is a trifle mischievous. Miss Bailey is also becoming costumed. They close with "Million Dollar Ball." Charles Anderson, Female Impersonator, Character Actor, Yodler. Charles Anderson does a splendid colored mummy. Everyone likes this creation of his. This kind of portrayal of the mummy is just a mummy; not particularly old; not particularly ugly and lame, as some are. She does things that are amusing, witty, as many real mammies do. She gets the blues. Then she puts on Baby Seals' well-known song, making a song makes for the best character of the kind seen here. When responding to encore, Anderson appears in full dress suit, yodler, he is among the best in the country, the great Fritz K. Emmett, but he greatly reminis one of that eminent yodler of years ago. He sang one of Emmett's songs, and he notes sixty seconds, a difficult defeat and pleasing enough because accompanied by a pretty waltz movement by the orchestra. Anderson has a good act and has fine ability. Mr. James A. Lillard and Wife Are a Bit Hit at the Monogram—Wife Dresses Nicely and Dances Classy—Lillard Remembered as the Great Road Tenor—Headliners as Tango Dancers—In Great Demand by Managers—Goodloe and Delt Favorites at The Two Sweets a Big Hit—James Crosby Entertains in Single—Mentionings About Other Houses. (By Cary B. Lewis.) CHICAGO, III., Sept. 10 (Special). The Monogram. Since Bob Cole and George Walker have passed into the Great Beyond, Bert Williams with the "Follies" and S. H. Dudley have been the most famous, but few first-class shows on the road, and the talent that was used in these shows have taken to vaudeville. Two of this number have been the most famous, James A. Lillard and his wife, Mrs. Ethel, were among the big acts on this week. When we saw them, we were amazed by the talent of the woman who wondered if this was the same kind of talent that used to beautifully entertain thousands and thousands with his sweet tenor voice with the Dudley show, the Lillard and his charming little sweet, wife and petite; Mrs. Lillard gowned in a handsome pink closing costume, the Lillard and looking became but had the "goods" and was "a scream," as Russell would put it. They opened with that "West Virginia Girl," a closing costume, full of life and singing. Mr. Lillard sang "We Have Much to be Thankful For," and it was one of the heartiest moments at this house. Mr. Lillard still possesses a rich tenor voice and pleased his audience immensely. In a flash, Mrs. Lillard changes into an easy piano and plays the house by storm. The house was packed, for it was a cool evening, and the patrons "Here Comes My Daddy," doing the go. We have seen several Tango's but this eclipsed all. They have a number one act and managers would do well to keep the house in order, which was a winner. Goodloe and Delk, two favorites of the "stroll," kept the house roaring with an original sketch, Fun in a rainbow, an original song, of runtime, singing "Certainly Look Good to Me." "Want My Man," and "Rag Time Ball," were among the songs that took over the house, monologue to the audience, "Never Kiss Your Sweetheart While Out Driving, Even Horses Carry Tails, and does monologue to the face of the evening's entertainment. The Monogram has a corking good bill this week; see it. Mrs. Lena Taylon, of Indianapolis, is the author of Tamy and 3300 Washaburg avenue. The Grand. The cool nights brought out packed houses to the Grand this week.

The pictures shown were Death of Dale, the death of Death. The pictures are clear and classy. The Phoenix Intemperance. The Little Flowers and The Monk Tong Fong were with us all during the day and with a change every day in the week. This house has a matinee day and a splendid orchids aterian. The Washington. The Ciew of the Broken Finger was the picture that just turned people away at the Washington theater on Monday. Miss Daisy Ranson, the charming ticket seller, was besieged on Sunday night by patrons the show and to heat the wonder orchestra. The States Will Hans, who is an assistant to the manager of the States, states that they are packing them nightly since Mr. Joe Jordan's orchestra has been playing and using polite vaudeville. The Dead Secret and the Spartan Father were the pictures. To: the Managers. TO the manager The President, the agent, who has charge of the annual baseball benefit for Provident hospital, wishes to thank the managers for carrying a slide about the game between the Firemen and Policemen. Officer J. H. Price made the request and the managers and staff under our personal thanks and gratification. Success to you all. NEW YORK NEWS Lincoln Theater. Bert Chadwick, singer and dancer, good. Watts and Tyler were such a tremendous attraction that he, by his first half of the second week. It was surprising to me but this team was a knockout, as much as it was important as big as usual. Miss Sittie is a very clever actress. The Three Dancing Bells were just a fair act. The last attraction was the first one, and attraction, was held over for the first half of last week. Murphy and Walker, an- THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER other good act, made a great impression with the great crowds that attend the Lincoln theater. Joe Johnson, a very timid man, joined the crowd. This fellow is quite a favorite, anyhow. Bailey and Green, a new act to New York, went fairly well. Tim Moore came to the Lincoln theater, and he opened the Park and opened at the Lincoln Saturday and was held over for this week. Hester Moore was at the Lincoln theater in New York, and he was asked to apologize. The people of New York are asking the question, "What, another divorce case?" yes.

The bill this week is another hit and every one in Mobile says that John Gergen and his bandmates are the ones that will always please. Byrd and, holdovers from last week, are still in the band. The Thornton are already with a good act. Miss Parellan Brossfield, some class to her, and Miss Katherine, her song. The Idaho Trio were a root from start to finish, and the little girl is a scream and knocks off the seats on the stage. She sees it off. Up Kid Idaho, you are going some. CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADELPHIA Despite excursions, conventions, block parties and hot weather, many were complained to the management to want of room. The management can now easily boast of no competition, as it has been concerned with the talent and patronage are concerned. Williams was in the second year of employment, "A Scot's Wife" much success. There is not a dull moment in this act. It is very apparent that Mr. Williams makes a careful study of all the books he has read and is sure that books are put over as only Mr. Williams can, as a comedian, put them. He is entirely original and a producer of invaluable material. He is a leading lady" or show girl and is immense leaves no opening for criticism. A wealth of Parisian gowns is exhibited, which is much more than the usual dress and beautifully acted by Augustus Stevens, as a heathen Chinese and dashing maid, and is the best ever seen here. The old heads will have to hustle to even keep up with the latest fashion. Two gentlemen with a good, clean act. Leigh Whippler, billed as monologist extraordinary, offered squabs, puns, nonsensical chatter and negotiations to an enthusiastic audience, in long, lean, lengthy individual, in tight, short pantaloons, Prince Albert coat and carrying a miniature umbrella, not for shade, for the sun. He is pleasant sailing, the make-up having introduced him as a funny man, making the sest eagy. Brooks, popular song writer, and Clarence Bowks, celebrated singer and dancer, caught on at once. This team of entertainers sing quite a number of their compositions and the title found it with the cork and do tramp or work straight, as his comedy is eccentric, and the cork only recalls the situations of Bowns. He is also use of the headliners, work with ease and are the headliners, closing a very good bill. For another week. THE AVENUE THEATER OPENS ON THE BORDER OF THE COL-ORED POPULATION. (By Sylvester Russell.) Poets Deny Dunbar Title Piracy. Whatever there is in a denial, Emory Elsace Scott and his Johnson are here. Elsace's benefit of the doulh, met Mr. Johnson on Labor Day. He denied that his title "Malindy" was taken when he met the unmarried John Dumbar. He also stated that he had met Mr. Scott that very morning and Scott had told him that he had read but little of his book. Dunbar's "The Parting," when he wrote his poem of the same title, Mr. Scott, I may add, was only a boy when Dunbar was a teenager and a genius, neither of the poets fully approach Dunbar, but the oncologists are genuine. King Waw ruf dogs have been playing Doyles lofttime. They have been booked for a Canadian tour. Tom Lommer is here with a white company playing one of the cast characters. He is also introducing his latest new songs. Mary E. Miller, wife of Dr. Miller, has been spending her summer vacation at Marquette, Mich. Raleigh Thompson, late of the St. Paul Inn, is now proprietor of the Monarch buffet, 24 West Fifth street. Kennett, of Satan, is to be a member of the Monarch labors worth of wardrobe and decoration, soon to open at the Monogram. Fanny Wise, whom I now regard as the famous female singing attraction of her race in vaudelle, was the hit of the bill at the Monogram Labor Day. Charles Anderson, the wonderful yodler and human violin instructor, was banqueted by the crowd, and said to have been treated like a prince, a tribute which his merit deserves. Officer Jack Price, formerly of Franklin University, will pitch at the Police and Fireman's benefit at Comiskey's park on Thursday, September 11, at 2:30 p.m. Joseph W.

He is getting along very nicely.** THE PEKIN, CINCINNATI, O The bill at the Pekin this week is far above the average. In fact, it is a much better card than we have seen at the Fifth street play house for several months. The Pekin is a real Pekin air about them, are the curtain raiser. They sing and dance well and work hard to please the audience, and is now over this time, but they will leave here with plenty of friends. Blondi Robinson, one of the best comedians playing at the Pekin, made me aware of the venue at the Pekin and he has a good turn and succeeded in pleasing the large crowds at each performance. This will be the banner week at the little play in Detroit. Miss Lucy Sheppard, the Fekin prima donna, is having the time of her life in Detroit, Mich., where she is spending her time. She sends her love to all of her friends. WASHINGTON, D. C., NEWS Terry, a single, played here, giving on week. The usual run of good pictures, week.

DECLINE OF ART AND LACK OF APPRECIATION OR REAL ARTISTS. The Organ of a New Vocalist (By Sylvester Russell.) CHICAGO, IL.—Somewhere in the land of strangers can be found performers whose artistic value is unseen and who known’t truth that many performers who are both healthy and talented, even in these days, usually come from the quiet suburbs of the city, budding roses. City actors haven’t time. Far too many city performers who would have blossomed in worthfulness have faced victims to the laxity of hygienic failures in their artistry. This has been interrupted by errors of which passion was master, and the shadow of a doubt was rendered their efforts useless, and the struggle against enamored and uncultured, or come up in the country, green. Art to them is a lost cause, but the art of performing works with the gall of their own artfulness. Some actors think that bad language is helpful because heathens laugh; and some actors find it fascinating because the echo of a riot that is false is coarsely resounded; and these two great performers will value in appreciation. To add to this unfortunate condition, a maudeville performances of the present day will learn to the relationship of the audiences to the condition. People go to the theater in maudeville to learn to learn and when they get there they are often disappointed. There is nothing to be taught except in serious drama. Common audience reactions are deficient and dramatically unfinished. Much of the new style of music lacks in the traditional education and foreign emigrants will listen to the standard opera and the classics. Charles Anderson a Great Singer. Among the few picked singers in vaudeville who shine by national talent and instill in her the love of music, have styled "The Human Violin." His imitation of a violin playing Mascagni's Intermezzo from the opera, at once attention-grabbing and first appearance in Chicago. His voice is a natural organ of alto material, which ranges high and pure and loud in altissimo, and possess both temperament and magnetism, full of lyrical love, sing and especially as a yodler, he probably has no equal, and his protean character work is convincing. In fact, he is a wonder, in a new sphere, of vocal discovery. The Stepping Stone. When actors can appreciate the critic who gives them renown. Mascagni, who lives in Chicago, whose lives are sometimes up and down. They'll take their place upon a throne. Where none can tread without a boost. The critic is the stepping-stone. For worthy stars — Sylvester Russell. WOLFSCALE'S BAND AND MIN- STRELS. With Barnum & Bailey's Greatest Show on Earth. We are now in the state of Illinois with Missouri to follow.

The pitching of Carr and fielding of Romo were the best of the game. In the afternoon the Giants played the All-Stars, composed of perennial stars, who have been considered the champions of Boca Raton Bailey Shows, until the Giants defeated them. Flat Iron, who has been doing the best in the game, knocked out of the box in the fourth inning, being replaced by Davenport, who pitched good ball, only allowing the Giants to win. The Giants were strong both in the field and at bat. Home runs were made by Carr, Washington and Young Shamrock, and Wright, too, made some wonderful catches out of the field. The Giants all-Stars, 3. Mr. Lewis Carr, the manager of the Giants, will arrange games at the strongest colored teams in the South. SEEN AND HEARD WHILE PASSING (By Salem Tutt Whitney, Smart Set Company.) S. H. Dudey's Ruby Theater, Louis- ville, Ky., Presents Great Show. If one is to judge the success of the Robs theater by Sunday night's crowd, it is delightful. The delightful theater was twice crowded last Sunday night, and at each performance Mr. Dudley stopped to stop. Mr. Dudley evidently made a wise choice when he picked Mr. Bob Slater to manage his Louisville house. Mr. Slater was talking to the comfort of his many patrons. When the company learned it was to have to spend a few hours in Louisville, he was happy. Later Mr. Corwell changed the itinerary of the show so the company would see his Sunday night's show. The Ruby theater is conducted upon the very latest methods, everything being run systematically. B. Dudley is director; Mrs. Dudley, pianist; a good cornet player whose name is B. Dudley; is director, the drummer, rendered some excellent music. A xylophone solo by Mr. Butler, was the hit of the musical program. The band played the Babe, opened the bill. They presented a high-class singing and dancing act, in truly artistic style. Their act is "different from the usual," the devil bill. The girls cancelled their Monday night's show in order to spend Set Company, and witness the Wrong Mr. President." Mr. "im-bry" the elongated comedian of the show, and talking act that was a laugh from start to finish. Mr. Crosby, from length to length, performed everything. He called an "old-timer," but there are no old-time methods used when he starts clean down-to-door. His comedy was strictly down-to-door. His comedy was clean and wholesome, and he "puts over" a song with the vigor and enthusiasm of several other comedians was compelled to respond to several requests. The trio of Pug, Glen and Green closed the door with a good tenor voice. Miss Glen possesses a pleasing personality and a kindness to the audience singing. The members of the Smart Set Company are very grateful for the evening's entertainment afforded them. Billy E. Jones scored a distinct hit with "Girl Girl" and "Girl Girl" "Million Dollar Doll" and "You Made Me Love You." He was billed as a singer in Orange, N. J., Department Auditorium in Orange, N. J.
