(Bureau of The Freeman, 1337 Wallace Place, N. W. Dr. Buckner a Veteran Democrat. Dr. Washington a "Great and Good Man" "Secretary Scott is as capable a young man as one will meet in and land in a book and run. He knows his business like a book and moves to the life he marks out.

He, too, is modest menace, but dominates the situation by the force of a personality that just kicks things done—and his helpers share enthusiasm in getting them done. His Liberian wife moves him into an encyclopedia, for knows facts and figure that no encyclopaedia will ever sustain. He made me see Liberia so alone. I almost imagined I was on the ground lines."

Hatred gets up so early and starts to work so soon, worked and followed with Waken, oh love, and follow with the witchery of thy tune; Challenge him over the hollow and across the sundering hill. Meet him on plain of attle and work with a valiant will. No day with its silver shimmer must sink in the night and fail Till harried is lost in hollow and we live in the love to be. *Baltimore Sun* Vocational training hits the mark. Jealousy is the bane of our progress. "Rumor" is generally a bald-faced liar. If in doubt, get out a writ of habeas corpus. Segregation is a costly burden to any community. Is the Indian to have an inning in the game of fashion? Nursing a grievance about nothing is a most unsatisfactory performance. And now they are discussing "The Fall of Adam" from a new angle. Former resident Taft fits in well as president of the American Ear Association. It is easy to forgive an enemy when his opposition is doing you no tangible harm. The most difficult man to reconcile is the one who isn't mad about what he says he is. Let us advertise our friends rather than our enemies. The latter will advertise themselves. . . . Most of us are far more worried over the matter of getting an income than the paying of the tax thereon. . . . Writers of bogus checks are headed straight for the penitentiary. Beware of this form of literary diversion. . . . A leader should not be held responsible for the follies of his fool friends—unless he upon the bad advice they give him. The Negro has a firm grip on the horn of a motor car, but just can't lose this race in the struggle for up-to-dateness. If a bumpstim individual wishes to know just how small he can be, let him hold a big federal office at Washington—and then lose it. Litigation as to the right of colored men to be Knowledge of Pythias and Elks is valuable, a able lawyer retained to do the litigation. New York City is the nation's financial center, is to have a Negro bank. Thus does the saving influence of the National Negro Business League spread itself over the land. Charence W. Wiggington, one of the race's finest and most prosperous, young architects for the Union Baptist Church at Omaha, Neb. In the race for the chieftainship of modern Ananiasis, Col. Mulhall is treading closely on the feet of an ex-sudator and the editor of the Washington Bee. "Be yourself," some wise man has said. "Never follow the crowd, if you want the crowd to follow. In other words, if you want to make people sit up and take notice. Dr. Washington said, in speeche a long time ago: "A man who is willing to die for a country should be allowed to live in peace in that country." This means the Negro. No truer words ever were said. Fools and frightful education must give way to utilitarianism, if the precious time of our boys and girls is to be properly conserved. The framers of educational systems must not overlook this patent feature. The editor of the Washington Bee used to write a sort of a baseball player on the sandlots of the nation's capital. Perhaps that is why he showed himself, surely, that he made in the game with the National Negro Press Association. That stalwart leader of the Negro Democracy, A. E. Manning, of Indiana, should be adequately recognized. He stands in front of the Negro Democracy that he made. Negro democracy respectable, and now that his party is in the saddle he is entitled to his reward. E. P. Jones, with the great state of Mississippi behind him, has shied his hat at the Grand Master of the G. U. O. of O. F. Huse has a chance to land, the plum this year, if the lines of the Morris and Davis factions waver. Before you raise your hammer against a fellow at the instance of some chronic man whom you are asked to hammer—and it's dollars to doughnuts you won't do it. You will find the knocker wants out of the fire, and that the fellow to be knocked is a first-rate sort of a chap. The Negro is going forward. The Odd Fellows Benefit Association in Mississippi during the past two years collected $62,319.95, and has paid to beneficiaries after deducting this and other expenses there is in the treasury a balance of about $1,000. This is an excellent show of enterprise in enterprises and enterpriseing Negro can do in the line of business and benevolence. The Pullman porters show wisdom of the highest type in organizing for mutual benefit. They are some much-needed legislation at the hands of Congress and the state law-making bodies. Every line of industry is organized and able to present a solid front for or against any proposition, candidate or movement. In the demise of Robert C. Ogden, the Negro loses another staunch friend and constant friend. He was a member of the trustees of the prominent institute and a member of the board of trustees of Tuskegee Institute, being a vital aid agencies for the racial unfit. The place made vacant by Mr. Ogden's passing will be difficult to fill. President J. H. Murphy, of the National Negro Press Association, has his ears pricked up for an "amen" from the trustees of the racial unfit, a "editor" as the head of that organization. The mourners' bench beckons invitingly toward W. Calvin Chase, John C. Ogden and two others who are now due to "bring forth fruits meet for repentance." John C. Dancy is making a truly great secretary of the Zion Church Extension Association, no matter where he is placed. In 1916 Mr. Dancy should be returned to the editorial chair of the Star of David, but he is elevated to the Bishop's, thus leaving a vacancy which no one can fill half so acceptably as Mr. Dancy, who has been there and made good. Editor J. H. Murphy, of the Baltimore Afro-American Ledger, is being adored for his work, but he is wearing them all gracefully, despite the fact that he is past the seventy-year mark. The strength he is exhibiting at the convention is an inspiration to younger men who are tired and blase almost before they get started in the battle of the war. He is an invitation to fraternity man, journalist or civic worker, is always "on the job." There is no longer any room for doubt as to how Dr. Booker T. Washington regards the Negro press. His address endorsing the National Negro Press Association the Philadelphia meeting of the Business League was frank, honest, clean-cut and unequivocal. It was the country has ever received. It made the enemies of the National Negro Press Association look like three thin dimes. W. W. Sanders, of Welch county, has been elected mayor for Quincy, Iowa, for Q. state, West Virginia, to quenchee J. C. Gilmer, who has been filling the place for several years with marked eciency. Mr. Gilmer is the only one who has the aspect of all with whom he has come into contact, and has set a pace that will tax the best energies of Mr. Sanders or any one else to equal. He is hosped that Mr. Gilmer will be able to Advocate, which, in its day, stood in the front rank of Negro journalism. The country does not wish Mr. Gilmer to confine his brilliant talents to West Virginia. He right should shine from ocean to ocean. PITTSBURGH, PA. (By D. P. Dorsey, 248 Carrington St. North Side.) Y.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The latest poll shows a good and doubtful vote, anyhow. Men's styles in hats are ad lib this season. Ribbons hanging down the back are a possibility. The exposition authorities at Phil- adelphia will have to manage some how to silence the "Courant" of that city. It's talking about the exposition. There's a way to save the Frederick Douglass home and it is not difficult to find out. Those who have had the matter in charge in the past have simply dallied with it. The country is ready to help them and merely for the asking. Let 'em get busy or give the job over to others. The mayor of Nashville, in speaking to the Baptist convention in that city, said, among other things, that "the laws in this country to be enforced must have the sanction of the people." None know this better than the Negroes whom he was addressing. And the assertion applies only to the Negroes, otherwise the laws that were not sanctioned would be wiped off the statute books. Such laws would not long remain laws. If not done away by legislation they would be deadened by that other thing, innocuous desuetude, that Grover Cleveland loved to speak of. The oath of office as minister to Liberia was administered last week at Evansville, Ind., to Dr. George W. Buckner, by William E. Wilson, circuit clerk. It was the first time that a United States minister had taken the oath of office in that city since Charles Denby, of Evansville, was named as minister to China, in 1885. Dr. Buckner left at once for Liberia by way of Washington. Whitecumb Riley, in one of his songs, says something about a little town called Taldholt. One is reminded of the town in our onch on the African ministership. It beats no hold. The persecutors or prosecutors of Harry Thaw were given a jolt by the New, York Journal, when it said in a recent issue: "Why does the chase of one man, already punished by seven years of jail and mugged for ridding the world of a white slaver, cause authorities in two countries to abandon their regular duties as if an outlaw were devastating the countryside?" Guess that'll hold 'em for a white, A white slaver, a very bitter pill all right. But isn't it true? Evelyn Thaw was Harry Thaw's wife. He owed her some protection, even if she was who she was. Colonel Roosevelt will soon invade South America in quest of big game. Well, our Southern continent is not so full of danger as Africa, hence we need not be so apprehensive of ill befalling him. When going to Africa a few years ago, some persons were so unkind to say they did not care if he never came back. Mr. Roosevelt has been a force in the world, making a name beyond that which comes through the incident of politics. Even in politics he is not to be despised, he has been the instrument of much good—the medium of good. For in the past he had not combined thrived and multiplied under his administration, yet it was he that the word that cut them down. Other anomalous situations were brought about—good following the pronouncement of good rather than from a consistent activity. The Jones boys at Harrison, Miss, made quite a bit of trouble for that burg last Sunday. As a result several persons, white and colored, are dead, and many more hurt more or less seriously. The riot was big with ability, and such being the case it will be its own best sermon—carefulness and consideration are taught most impressively. The lesson, we think, will be heeded. Scores of lives cannot be afforded as the result of petty race quarrels. We have the races with us. The situation is well understood, consequently there's no use of such a sacrifice. Scores of lives were not loss, but the killed and wounded many, please, for an is now known their death. This is horrible to think of. There have been battles fought in wars with less loss of life. Truly, the happening suggests the moral. THE BAPSTIST NATIONAL CONVENTION. Twelve thousand delegates were in convention at Nashville a short while since, representative of the great Negro Baptist church of America. More interests were yet represented, that of the Negro Baptists wherever they may be. Twelve thousand delegates is an amazing number. Perhaps this was the greatest body of Negroes that ever assembled in the world's history. As bold as the assertion is, it stands to reason, owing to the triumphant coming of the Negro race. That is to say, every day sees it a little murher advanced. National conventions of political parties are not nearly so great. Enthusiasm was in keeping with the vast throng, run- ning high according as before it were propounded doctrines of good. When Governor W. B. Hooper addressed the convention on behalf of the state of Tennessee, he was in a most felicitous mood. He joined the flood of religious cheer saying, "We Baptists," frequently through his speech. This sign of fellowship was met with tremendous applause, indicative of the deep significance of the utterance. The leading men of the church were on the scene making for the dignity of the occasion and the interest and intelligence of the legislation. This convention with its twelve thousand members, watched and attended by the great men of the race, observed and noted by the representatives of state and municipal governments, standing the final expression of Negro intellectualism generally, was a fine demonstration of the fifty years of Negro freedom. NEGROES IN SOUTHERN LABOR CONGRESS. The Southern Labor Congress, which met at Nashville, Tenn., last week, saw fit to admit Negro work men as members of their organization. This body is representative of all of the trades unions of the section. The concession to the Negroes was not without a terrific struggle, and which drew out the strongest men of the congress. Feeling righ in high in the debates, but in the end it was plain enough that the hold of the Negroes on the various lines of work threats ened the stability of the white work man's conception of proper wage scales. In the fight against the resolution of admission of the Negroes, it developed that the members of the congress viewed the industrial situation with alarm. The more thoughtful of them saw the absolute necessity of inviting Negro workmen in the association in order to preserve the white workmen. And nothing is more apparent. The Negro trades schools are turning out hundreds of well-equipped men yearly. White capitalists of the South have always been in sympathy with the Negro workmen. They have no thought of acting with the Negroes on social terms, and as if a law of compensation, they have made it up by permitting them to do whatever they can do along industrial lines. This has always been so, and at no time has there been inclination to do otherwise. This disposition is so well known and so persistent that the white unions of the South have been unable to dislodge the Negroes. The Negroes are intrenched by the further fact that they are so numerically strong that business would stand still without them. With the white oppulent class counted out, with the Negroes counted out, the remaining number, which would stand for the white workmen, would be very small. We can well imagine that pride has had much to do in keeping Negroes out of the unions up until this time. Many of the members exhibited this phase by preface to their remarks, insisting that they were "good Southern men." But in spite of this declaration of pride, they saw a menace of their existence in event they still withheld the olive branch. These white men have simply been forced to do what they ought to have done. We are in for no agitation that tends to upset the calculations, the purposes of unions, but, nevertheless, we insist on knowing and urging the law of universal man seeing man as man regardless of color or race. In the preservation of men it is sometimes expedient to depart from general laws; it may be necessary to suspend them for a time. But they are only suspended awaiting the moment when they may be operative. We may always maintain the theory of men qualified by fitness only rather than the color of the face, regardless of what obtains in the practice. The situation, having in mind what has taken place in Tennessee, is indeed hopeful. The thing of the unqualified rights of men has been acknowledged where it will do the most close, but will flow out in every direction to the end that better relations will exist between the races, also where it will do the most good. SAVING THE FREDERICK DOUG LASS HOME. Another one of those intermittent efforts to save the old Frederick Douglass home is being made at this time. It's so strang that those having the matter in charge should play with it when the colored people stand ready to redeem the home. We took the position some time ago that the colored people would gladly contribute what was necessary to hold the Douglass estate as a memorial of his services and as a monument of that turbulent period in which he spent most of his life. Such preservation is one of the ways civilization has of honoring the great. Nor need we lay stress on civilization. Savages, barbarians have struggled to show in some way honor to the supermen that moved among them. The proposition to save the Douglass home has been before the country for many years. That it lags, failing to arouse interest, is a reflection on the race. And yet the race as a whole is not responsible for the failure. The amount needed to redeem the house can be raised by popular subscription. Who would fail to contribute a penny or more if needs be? We think it would be a pleasure to the girls and boys, young and old, women and men, to lay a gift, friendly and good in honor of the Sage of Anacostin as he is affectionately known. The pastors of churches can conduct the subscriptions. Prominent individuals in each community could conduct the subscriptions. A bureau can well be maintained at Washington for the collection of the funds, for the purpose of instruction as to methods of raising the funds and so forth. Nor do we think this bureau would find it necessary to give their time away to campaign by other integrity would bring results that would care for any ordinary expenses connected with such a campaign. We can save the Frederick Douglass home. The pennies can do. The people, we think, will gladly contribute the pennies. DALLAS, TEX. The Need of Religious Bodies and Y Lady Velters - Law on Drunkenness (By Col. Julius G. Griffin, Freeman eHadquarters, Phone Main 167.) There is no race in the world that can equal some of our people in pledging support and afterwards doing the getaway act and never fulfilling their promises.

United Loyal Neighbors Supreme Offices D 814 S, Seventh St., Louisville, Kentucky NEGRO PROGRESS Unprejudiced Americans realize that the colored race is progressing very rapidly and that each year sees its intellectual standard fastly approaching that of the whites. The question is, "What color of colored people predominate?" In Mr. D. E. Tobias' article in the "New York Sun" of July 23rd, entitled "The Aristocracy of Color," he states that there are certain shades of complexion more influential than others among Negroes; and that no real black man was awarded a Federal Job during the Last Two Administrations. We would not like to believe that the color of a man or woman has anything to do with their progress, but we know it has a great deal to do with one's appearance, whether he be black or white. Any person desires a light and smooth complexion. If you wish to keep abreast of the times you will make your complexion as light as possible, and free it from wrinkles, blotches, chaps, sores and all skin troubles.

This order was organized in 1882 by J. E. Bush and C. W. Keatts, two Negroes, and has long since passed the experimental stage. Half Million Dollars Paid to Widows and Orphans The National Order of the Mosque 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 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 males, Palaces for children, cost of charter, $5; Uniform Rank, cost of charter, $5. Opportunities for Organizers The order is now conducting a nationwide 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 organizers 600 new lodges. Some organizers have earned as high as $200 per month. We allow organizers, under extension plan, to set up local lodges for the price of the charter fee. For instance an organizer would set up a temple of sixty men at $2 each; that would cost $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 organi- 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 independently, and you had better write today for terms.

CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADEL. PHIA. PA. Taylor, Mother and Son, Act Together With the Dainty Hill Sisters, Make Hit. The same turn them-away business continues as everyone tries to maintain the recordless of risk or opposition. The Hill Girls, Margie and Josephine, new movie, will display much the same. Their dancing is clever. There is no talk, but their harmony. Although these two young children are not far below the leaders, Taylor and Tayler need no criticism. Their right now should be on the big time dancer, the cleanest and short shining and dancing act before the public. Artists, Billy and Grace, royal entertainers, repeated we have seen before to great advantage. Mrs. Kaiser is a very clever ragtag shouter and appliance, while Billy, who even looks funny, is the most changed and does comedy rarely seen in Tim and Hester as of old, "great."

THE NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER. (Tim E. Owsley, Prop.) The Crown Garden theater, of this city, Indianapolis, is still coming up. The theater is one of the places where we are eagerly expected by the patrons of the house. The management has asked us what pleased us only to rite them more. The case. Every week we are the acts among those presented that stand out, and we are proud to be the ones who feel proud. This is an excellent sign, since it means reputation for the house, permanent reputation, the kind that visitors to the house in cold weather. A dependable patronage, it seems, is what we need. We must have amusement. And up until this time the Crown Garden only has furnished it in a strict theatrical sense. It is a show that slow down during the winter months, when other show houses are at their best, provided it keeps up its present quality. THE ABYSINIAN TRIO. Gertrude Jones. Maude Brown, Oliva Ellison In Native Costume. The presentation by the Abyssinian Trio is what may well be called brilliant, and the musicians are the best of them modest in their work, but it do it in a splendid way that it stands out in the clear. One sees away from the greater audience the more thoughtful thoughts. The ladies know their class of show, consequently were doubtful how the Crown Garden would take it. No act they were supposed to do, but they shown more downright appreciation. It was a real pleasure to see the audience drinking in this presentation, appalled by the lack of out of eagerness to show approval of it. The generous applause at the end was very complimentary of audience and performers. Of the performers, because they knew the audience, that they knew it so well. The trio enters singing "Creeper Love" and "The Sympathy," sympathy. Three beautiful voices burst forth from the very fountain of song. They ran the gamut of tone coloring, and the musicians sang while preserving the complete harmonies. In the closing of this song was heard an contralto by Miss Ellison, the teacher, who was a sort of super soprano, obligato in Miss Jones. They came back singing "Harcarrale," from the "Tales of Hoffman." Both numbers were nicely re- The duo by Misses Ellison and Jones, "Congo Love Song," was beautifully renamed, the singing was accompanied by a slight swish in the rhythm, the tertiary rhythm, also graceful, gentle motions of the arms, giving that beautiful oriental effect. The number was as a page snatched from Thomas Moore's "Lallah Bookh" or a scene from "A Persian Garden." The trio sings "The Moon Song," which is a beautiful and pretty voice well fit her for the place. She also does a beautiful obligate, an over-song, while the two keep up the rhythm. They are in their striking Abyssinian costumes, dashed through with texture that hangs as molten gold, making a very beautiful impressing poses. Near the close, pictures of palm trees are thrown on the scenery, seeming to become at once a part of it, and also the singers, who stand amid them while the silvery moon floated over WILSON AND GOLE Thi steam does some pleasing stunts. The Miss Golf proving a clever straight, son does a tumbling turn, doing many difficult tests, while Miss White accompanies a companion, doing a compound MITCHELL LEWIS. Lewis has a unique way of putting over his stuff. He has some new gags and works out the old ones successfully. The neurologist, he is quite different he is a bit. ALPHA THEATER, CLEVELAND, O. Jas.

And I was delightfully pleased that she had taught her how to speak, that our late beloved Ernest Hogan had made her go through in teaching her to be a leading lady, that she had taught her how to speak, that she still looks younger than ever. Busybodies always do. She will not retire from the stage, however, but will shine again before the footsights as soon as her business expands. She will spend to the laws of women's nature which must not be disregarded. Edgar Connor at the Grand Theater Sarah Sawyer at the White Browl, All Maks, Big Hue When Edgar Connor's name was placarded at the Grand following his engagement at McVicker's Theater, there was a maudit of his performances. Connor, who is by reputation the little midget actor of the late Cole & Johnson aggregation, repeated his former triumph as "Sambo," with a chorus of his own, in the music mule except "You Made Me Love You," in which Ceil Mann, a pretty southerner, plays the role by Rosandon Johnson. Mattie Harris in a Sultan scene, "Lovely Daughter," displayed a sweet voice of mezzo quality, with a lively voice of Rosina Ponoka, Grace Whitfield and Helen Baxter are also members of the act. The white acts were Gertrude Magill in "The Lost Wife," the black acts, lans and Dixon, covered actors; Daly and O'Brien, artistic eccentric dancers, and Great Henry, a wonderful roller balancer. The last half of last season was Gertrude Magill, four exceedingly clever plops; James Stewart, Gertrude Drayton, Nellie Carr and little David Holmes. The other acts were Danny Fitzgerald, the black act; Zora Lawrence in "The Man First," a fine human story; Baker and O'Nell, who were fair, and Tony Johnson's acrobatics; and the Photo Play Company, a white concern frm Atlanta, Ga., set us "Slim, the Cow Puncher," which was not elevating nor performing, but will have to come better. The Grand is now putting on strong shows. Porter & Dewey at the States—Fanny Wise Charmas at the Bleed— in Mgnn." Tim & Hester Moore at the Monogram Tim Moore and his talented wife were women in the premium glove after the monogram last.est. glove after the months' absence, and gave one of their favorite sketches. Mrs. Moore is not so much different from the songs, gestures and dancing are a most perfect fit to Tim's irresistible comic drollery. Rose Brown and Lizzie Walt Lane are the most minority element, who like eight suggestiveness, but their shadow dancing costumes and light effects. The Russell was another act that was full of good comedy, even if a little more crazier than the usual, a male impersonation locks well. The New Banier Club Opens The New Haven roster pursues which has cast a shadow over the successful pass in club circles, has set the sporting fraternity all ago. The formal announcement of the opening game at Bristol Club (incorporated in 1910) suite of rooms, 3010 State street, was something with class to it, quite unexpected.

NEW YORK NEWS Lincoln Theater Ethel Alvert has a very good voice, and her dancing was very good, but she has that amateurish look and move about that amateurish look and move about that should have paid more attention to this one particular part, yet I feel that in time, if she continues to interest herself with her performance, Frank and Frank (white), dressed as two officers, one a captain, the other a lieutenant, opened with their hands, and then she picked out different people in the audience, about whom he made up the different verses. This was very well received, and not these people heard Original Rags sing the same song some months ago, and believe me, they never forget anyone that was here, but Frank and Frank's closing number, introducing a clog dance, which was done years ago in the old country, and the voice was so sweet when she sang "Red, Red Rose," "The Sands of the Desert" and "Blooding and Bleeding" she stole from her voice was so sweet when she sang "Red, Red Rose," "The Sands of the Desert" and "Blooding and Bleeding" she stole from her voice held up all week.

Smith and Burris, two colored song writers and two good performers, went Sunbeams, in their singing and dancing were well received. The young trapliers, in good food, Churchel and Schley, in a comedy travesty on Hamlet, were fine. Last half, Ed Daya, a colored contortionist, in good food, Smith and Schley, did some very clever stunts. Whitman and her three Sunbeams were again seen to good advantage. Kane, in good food, Smith and Schley, Night Before Christmas, were a scream. They were the hit of the bill. This was showing the gratifying of detectives and the dirty work of saloon men. It also showed the accusing and arrest of timonian an artist. When you had seen "A Night Before Christmas," you had your money's worth. They did very well the act and were received by the audience. Following them came the enormous musical comedy, the Dancing Bumblebee, and a poor one at that. Some the bummet comedy was pilled off in this act that anyone has ever heard.

IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MCGRATH. THE NEW YORK STATE ATHLETIC COMMISSION. heavyweight, and Sam Langford, of Boston, the veteran colored mugshot, is off. This announcement was made shortly. Decides Against Mixed Bouts By Unanimous Vote. The Langford-Smith Match Declared Off. (By Billy Lewis.) The New York State Commission has proven a rather obtuse set. What they just ask for is to box matches between Nerros and Nerros, and then fast. Think of all of men chosen to act for the state, all of the citizens in a matriarchy, denying a portion of the citizens consent that they are being allowed to conduct of the sport. Further, more they declare that they are not discriminating, clinging to the definition of the ruling applies to the races. That is to say the white men are barred from the colored men, and the colored men are barred from the white men. Sounds good don't. But as good as it sounds it is bad just the same. If white men must make laws meant to be correct to be cowardly to be cowardly in the matter training to shelter, saving themselves seeming to comply with the spirit of the law, being dangerous to announce the intent of the laws. Take some of the constitutions of the United States that know anything about or robust about being Negroes from the ballot box. it would never have done to have advised that intent officially, yet there were enough persons who say right out just what was up. The case is similar here. The New York mission members say that their action is not discriminating. And true enough such a stand would be approved by the court, and law applied to them, but how false? it is like a whited sepulchre—the outside is beautiful; the inside filled with dead The genius of the laws when operating rightly, after having been made to operate in common, does not work or that common laws are the intent, the spirit, one sense. The good lawyers, with a big case with a big attack on the common foundation—to be made in inquiry after the minds of men who made the laws. What are their sentiment? their community? will they ill will them? presumed? What they intend to promote? Now then, I think the New York commission is in bad—very bad. The commissioners, who are the ones who intend to promote? Why did they make this ruling? What interests were there to be answered? Who was to be hurt? Who was to be projected? Who was to be the whole business? Was it preserve one race as against another? Answer op. Messrs. Commissioners, What did you mean, what did you mean when you confirmed it over the decision of the attorney-general, who said that the commission cannot prohibit mixed bouts solely. This was very much like the old gags about the man in jail. The man on the outside looked in asked to be prisoned. The man outside said to the prisoner that he could not be put in for that. The prisoner told him that he that he was prisoned. The prisoner said that the man not stop the bout—But the bout was stopped. Mighty things, those commissions. Sometimes they are good things, then again they are a menace. Commissions, government by commission, will do very well when there is no race question as long as the communities in parvo kind of government, but we that are Negroes need not mind praying, and this municipal capacity, but they could easily prove the very opposite. Our fate could be tied up in that half does not pray. They are the chosen law, attorney-generals and what the contract, notwithhold of an accute stage of the race problem. In such a case every man of the commission would know his race. Race parishanship justifies the as- Knowing what discrimination means in this instance, I must confess I am ungrateful. I have been proud of our white people, we have been proud of our white people, the Anglo-Saxons. We have been proud of a situation before I have viewed as reasonable their objection to Negrous associating with in high class hostilities and with places of our race. With many of our race, I have looked with allowance on certain other phases of our culture. If where proximity suggests a threat, it will not given to falling over one another for dear love when the party is the second party. That's to say that the race, our own race, has distinct means on the color question that wouldn't I have nothing in common with this purses brand of protection as set for the commission's protection purses and shipment, not that kind which is suggested out of the possibility of social contact; it is a protection that acknowledges the loss of the opportunity of its exhibition. The Neocons are absolutely shut out of the fighting market; they are not protected; they are actually arrested. The state, through its commission, will not permit an open market for "produce of colored men" or "produce of colored men" colored men may only light with one another. And, until you, there has been no demand for the decision against colored boxes, at least on demand. Get This Note.

He was the only player to appear after the New York State athletic commission had decided unanimously to retain the rule prohibiting bouts between Negro and white players. The commissioners declare that they are not discriminating against race or color. They have power under the Frawley law to make any rules they consider appropriate in the preservation and good conduct of the sport. NEGRO RUNNER MAKES RECORD. Hayes Wins Taylor Memorial Quarter- Sprinter Drew Covers 100 Yards in 9 4-5 Seconds. Colored Speedster Hangs Up New Non-Resident Record for Middle Atlantic States. PHILADELPHIA, PA—As far as athletic carnivals go the set of games staged by eh emancipation proclamation committee is the most successful in Washington Park. Twenty-sixth street and Allegheny avenue, was by long odds the best ever witnessed in Philadelphia, the intercollegiate championships alone. It was classy. It was easy to step. A real hundred yards under ten seconds was none other than Howard P. Drew, the colored sprinter of the Springfield high school. Drew ran 9. 5 seconds for the 100-yard race, the first time that this feat has been accomplished in the Middle Atlantic States with competent timers. There were four times in real race, then they having the in youth in 9. 4-5 seconds and the other catching him in a shade better than 10 seconds. He won the 100-yards race for college athletes, but the field wasn't very fast and he just ran along and wan as he pleased in the 100-yards handcap and won from scratch in 10 seconds and then retired. He tried the broad jump and landed third place with it was wonderful running in every race. It was the greatest collection of colored athletes that had ever been ranked at any one time, and the events were augmented by the addition of several hundred in honor of the fifth anniversary of the signing of the emancipation proclamation by President Lincoln. The athletes played good form and won a number of events, Granger, the Dartmouth runner, won the half mile close to two minutes and John Brunson on the Salem Crescent Club, won the mile. Jackson, the colored hurdler of Harvard, won second place in the half hurdle knocked over five hurdles, running from scratch. Fryckberg was allowed a handicap on Jackson but declined to take it. He was honored by the honor of the late John B. Taylor, was an easy win for Billy Hays, of West Philadelphia crack. There was a great deal of ill feeling shown in this race, Carson, Haslein and Woodhull pulling each other at the start, and the sprint at the finish. Both of the sprint races were fought out by Hamilton, of Trenton, and Brockman, of Baltimore, Hamilton taking one and ONLY ONE CHANGE TO BE MADE IN FOOTBALL CODE. Rule on Inside Kick Revived in Conference—Action Regarding Offi- NEW YORK.—The entire code of football rules in effect for this season will be interpreted at a gathering of more than one hundred football coaches, tea manager officials and other officials on the 22nd day of the annual interpretation meeting of the intercollegiate football rules committee. One Rule Changed. The only rule that met objection was Rule 14, which states that players will be incorporated in the final version. It has to do with the privileges. The addition will permit the players behind a player making an onside kick to enjoy an equal opportunity men the players behind a player to go after a balk ball. They may not interfere with the players on the opposing side in their attempts. To Change List of Officials. Dr. James A. Babbitt, chairman of the central board, announced that the list of officials for the season now completed would include 100 coaches and 100 seasons. Correspondence with the leading colleges had shown, he said, that the list of twenty or thirty officials each preferred larger teams was a limited number of officials was so generally shown and since the list of officials in recent years, has become overburdened. He said he would bring the officials for whom preference has been indicated by the colleges in general into greater use. WHAT'S DOING IN THE SPORTING WORLD. The A. B. C.'s of Indianapolis, beat the Chippewa in two games last week. Score, 6 to 2, and 14 to 14.
