You've stood so many years and years and years and years; you; You've caused those men to shed their tears and lose their colors too. You swore that you would stay with us just like little Mary's lamb. I know thy guns can raise the dust, swore to stand by Uncle Sam. You've caused a lot of wars and fights, back in your ladder days. And we fought to gain your rights, and won them in such many ways. You once was in the cruel hands, and cruel colors waved, Of pickled men with wicked bands, and of people with people grieve, And Uncle Sam be pitiled you, and fought in rain and mud. We won the battle fair and true, and lost a lot of blood. You have to teach your race to stand by Uncle Sam. Because he saved you from disruption, you're due to give your love to him, Oh Corregidor! Oh Corregidor! our most important land. If your people always stick with us, your rights always stand. CHORIZO —EUGENE FRIANCIS HUNTER. Company B, Fourteenth Infantry Manufac PUBLICATIONS. The Normal Index, a publication of the Normal, Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges of Normal, Alabama, is among those recently received at this office. This publication is pretentious, and worthy of the institution. It is well illustrated, showing many phases of the work being done at this institution, and also showing other interesting features. The likeness of William Hooper Council, now deceased, the founder, who was thirty-five years his president, adorns the first page. Walter S. Buchanan, B. A. S., A. M., is at the head of the institution. The Georgia Club at the State Normal School, Athens, Ga., has issued a small volume, "The Georgia Club." The object of the organization is the study of rural sociology. In speaking to the point of the purpose of organization the current number of the Club says: "Three years ago, under the leadership of the president of the school, a small group of interested people in the faculty and student body of the State Normal School at Athens began to assemble at noon on Mondays for study and discussion of Georgia. The results were full of surprise. It soon became evident that there were many things in the development of the State during the recent census period to arouse pride, but also many things to challenge serious attention and concern. "The investigations at once took the form of a sweeping economic and social survey of the State as a whole and county by county. It was found that 66 counties of Georgia were making time or losing ground in ways and that the social and business interests of these counties were in peril. It was also found that 80 counties were making most encouraging gains." As a result of the meetings, in May 1912, the trustees of the school established a chair of rural economics and sociology as a background and formal support for the efforts of the club. The new chair was established because the work the club is doing is fundamentally important, and because it calls for time and single-mindedness far beyond the opportunities its leader had as president of the school. The report of the Freedmen's Hospital, Washington, D. C., to the Secretary of the interior for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, is an interesting publication. In its foreword it has. In this report will be found carefully prepared tabulated statistics affecting the professional side of the hospital, showing in detail the number of patients treated, their diseases, and results, which, on the whole, may be considered very satisfactory; also an itemized statement of the receipts and expenditures, the needs of the institution, and data concerning the Training School for Nurses. "One of the important features of the past year was the admission into the hospital of paying patients authorized by the District of Columbia act approved June 26, 1912, to wit: "Hereafter patients may be admitted to the Freedmen's Hospital for care and treatment on the payment of such reasonable charges thereof as the Secretary of the Interior shall prescribe. All money so collected shall be paid into the treasury to the credit of Freedmen's Hospital, to be disbursed under the supervision of the Secretary of the Interior, for subsistence, fuel and light, clothing, bedding, forage, medicine, medical and surgical supplies, surgical instruments, repairs, furniture, and other absolutely necessary expenses incident to the management of the hospital. A report as to the expenditure thereof to be made annually to Congress. "Under this law the hospital has received a class of patients who have for many years sought the benefits of its care and treatment, at the following rates: Private rooms, $1.25 per day; ward, $1.10 per day; children under 12 years, 65 cents per day; babies, 40 cents per day; and operations from $5 up, according to their nature." Among the other publications received are: The Morgan College Bulletin of Princess Anne, Md.; the Year Book of the same Institution; the Knoxville College Bulletin of Knoxville, Tenn.; the Annual of Jackson College, Jackson, Tenn.; the Catalogue of the Colored Normal, Industrial, Agricultural and Mechanical College of South Carolina, and the Southern Workman. The latter publication, as usual, is full of information that is peculiar and interesting. The illustrations are out of the ordinary, as well as the subjects that are treated. The Thirteenth Annual Report of the executive board and corresponding secretary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention at Nashville, among the recent publications, is interesting. In a sort of salutatory it says: "This is the thirteenth anniversary of the Woman's Convention, Auxiliary to the National Baptist Convention, and the fiftieth anniversary of the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. "We have great pleasure in submitting this report, for the reason that the jubilee year is to mark the undertaking of a very definite program, for the uplift of the masses of a recently emancipated race. While the burden of the work of uplifting will certainly be shifted more and more upon our shoulders, we have reason to be encouraged, because of the fact that we are coming into a period in which public sentiment and fair play is going to demand, for those individuals and races who bear their burdens bravely and lift themselves through the righteousness that exalteth a nation, a chance to strive with other men in the race of life."

Some of the largest educational foundations ever laid are being devoted to our betterment. The first foundation to be laid to assist in the education of the Negro was the George Peabody Fund of two million dollars, which was given to help Negroes and whites. The second was the Slater Fund of one million dollars exclusively for the uplift of the lately emancipated populations of the South and their posterior. The third—The Daniel Hand Fund of one million five hundred thousand dollars. Fourth—Anna T. Jeanes Fund of one million, two hundred thousand dollars, as well as the Miner, Cushing, Phelps-Stokes and General Educational Board. "Gifts from our own people are as follows: "Thomy Lafon, Louisiana, $41,500 to charitable and educational institutions in New Orleans, without distinction of color; John McKee, Pennsylvania, over $1,000,000 for education; George Washington, Illinois, former slave, $15,000 for education; Joseph Parker, $6,000 to State College of Delaware; Fannie J.

Laing Williams, Compiler, Chicago, Ill. An important feature of the report is the list of life members. These hail from nearly every State in the Union, numbering above two hundred. The compiler has the following to say in his statement: "For the second time in the history of the National Negro Business League, the annual convention was held in the city of Chicago, Ill. "The convention was called to order on the morning of August 22, 1912, for the day's session, by the president, Dr. Booker T. Washington. "In the eleven years that have elapsed since the meeting in Handel Hall, Chicago, the economic advancement of the colored people has been marvelous. "That first convention held in Chicago seemed to many of us more of an experiment than an expression of things possible. There were presented at that meeting few statistics and but few significant facts as to the worth of the race in things tangible and important. At that time we could not talk much about banks, insurance companies, big land holders, factories and town builders." It is needless to say that this second convention was an exposition of the march of the progress of the Negro race. At that first convention, the compiler says, was the wide vision and solendid optimism of its president, Dr. Booker T. Washington. As this one man grew into importance, power and nation-wide recognition, the economic advancement of his power grew upon him, until to-day the National Negro Business League, with its scores of affiliated leagues throughout the country, is heralded everywhere as a tremendous agency of Negro progress. In the Chicago convention of 1912 nearly a half hundred different enterprises were listed on the program. Reports of actual accomplishments and growing confidence were never so great at any previous convention of the League. The Atlanta University Bulletin is filled with choice subjects, richly treated. The Southern Sociological Conference is especially referred to. One of the addresses at the general gathering in the Auditorium Armory was delivered by Bishop Wilbur P. Thirkield, of New Orleans. Dr. Thirkield has been for many years a worker among the Negroes. BUFFALO, N. Y. The colored Republicans of Buffalo have reorganized, with Mr. W. H. Tallerfert at their head. H. C.

Has he compromised his other in- tention, that of attacking the citadel of our liberties? It looks that way. its a little early to rejoice exceeding. ly owing to the supposed modern Saul, but a mild glow of satisfactiod suffiises doubtless at the good pros: peets of being let alone. We are indeed glad to know that President Wilson or somebody, who has the power to do so, has ‘given Mr. Ralph Lapgston an appointment, and Oné too that fs in keeping with the standing of Mr. Langston, as a democrat.—The Star, Newport ‘News, a. Let us hear about it by all means. it is said that Mr. Taggart is now helping to direct things at Democratic headquarters. Thee others are sit- ting up taking notice, Its worth while keeping an eye on Mr. Tom. ‘Tho children of Monrovia, Liberia, the Negro republie, will benefit to the extent of $60,000 “the Increment of an idie und” for educational _pur- poses. The sum will prove a godsend to that needy people. ‘The American Colonization Society with heedquar- ters in Washington, D.C, is the author of the good gift. ‘The National Convention of Meth- odist Men convenes in Tomiineon Hall, this city, October 28-31, The conven- tion, which will be made up of above 3,000 delegates, will be addressed by some of the foremost men of the coun- try. The efforts of the Methodist Men's movement is to advance the church in usefulness as it concerns its. mis: sion, ‘The M. H. church includes the eolored Methodists of that denomina- tion. In the brotherhood there are col- ‘ored members, and who may be con- gratulated in that they are part of the ‘aekifoest Oreanttation. ‘The charges against Governor Sul- wer of New York, which were down righht serious were those which did Hee ise: to ane 9s the (le) and for good and sufficient reason. The court had to come to it, that it had no jur- isdiction in the matter of Mr. Sulzer’s activities before he took the oath of office. ‘The charges, nevertheless, were ugly, and doubtless had their in- fluence in the deposing of the gover- nor. ‘This undercurrent had been set in motion and nothing could with- stand it. ‘That he failed to report faithfully his campaign expenses was substan- tially the charge against Sulzer. It is a shame that 2 governor of a great state had to fall on such a charge. ‘The law asking candidates to make kuowr their eampaign expenses fs held in personsi contempt wherever it is in foree, In this case it has proved a veritable man trap. It could have been otherwise had Murphy et al so cfected. ‘The city council of Baltimore has put over another bateh of segregation rules. ‘The others failed to stick. The present law according to the comment of leading dailies of that city will not hold “water.” ‘The colored peo- ple are limited, but the white people will live where they choose. This means that in time that law will be wseless. If white persons may live where they choose it will not be long before there will be an inextricable mixup, when those concerned will be glad cnough to dismiss the whole business. At Keith's theater in this city, a division of the gallery is set aside for colored people. White peo- ple may sit in the section, and they do sit there, but colored persons may not eit elsewhere, The logie of it fs, that many white persons do not care for hard and fast rules of the kind, es- pecially in public places. Theaters and hotels can manage to keep up the thing, but when it comes to the weightler thing of _property—where ‘one lives—it will be much different. The effort of segregation by law is the meanest business that the race has faced. ‘This has reference to welling places. Property rights are so fundamental that to inflict peculiar laws concerning them is disturbing. Perhaps those who make _pecullar Jaws have not a sufficient knowledge of the possible harm. Property inse- eure, government fs insecure. And this monkeying with the rights of res- idence is dangerously deny monkey- ing with property rights as best un- derstood. That @ peculiar people can stand for peculiar treatment has noth- ing to do with the case. The princi- ple is vitlated, struck down just that much even when Negroes ere con- corned. THE PHILADELPHIA EXPOSITION. Isaac H. Smith, of New Bern, who ‘was appointed by the governor of that state to represent it at the Fiftieth Anniversary Emanelpation Proclama- tion Celebration at Philadelphia, was not greatly impressed with what he saw. He said it was a lame duck af- fair. It may be that Mr. Smith has peciliar ideas about such things. This view of him is partially borne out by his further comment. Among other things he said: First. Pennsylvania was a tree state, ang therefore, it was inappro- priate fof such to have come off in an ante-bellum free state. “Why the good white people in tle great state of Pennsylvania, should take from its public treasury 395,000 and allow it to be used Yor a purpose reflecting no credit on the white peo. ple, and a discredit on the colored people, ix a mystery to me. “For if there is to be found one decent, brainy colored man or woman, who is decent and has regard for the truth, and will say that the Philadel- phia ‘celebration was in any way a help to the colored people to the good, one bit, let me have his or her post office address.” We do not see it altogether as Mr. Smith sew it. We were impressed all along wit hthe peculiar kind of activ- ity of the management or its nonactiv- ity. It appeared a close corporation or a private affair, having no desire to have the exposition become public and great. The management refused to advertise, thus neglecting the great necessity of such-undertakings. Think of the Ringling Bros. or the Wallace Hagenbeck people refusing to adver- tise. Patriotism, race fealty and all such were to be depended on to some extent, but they don't do the whole business for shows, for Negro demon- stration exhibitions. We are not on to the facts of the outeome of the exposition. We thought we saw something of its end from its beginning. From the com- ment seen now and then even in Phil- adelphia publications the exposition was a rather sorry affair. THE FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF FREEDOM. Dr. Booker T. Washington and oth- ers of similar view wished to have this week, October 19 to 26, set aside as the one in which to give some man- ifestation of observing the fiftieth year of Negro freedom. How general- ly this has been done we are as yet unable to say. When we are remind- ed of observations of the kind, eman- cipation days and the like, we are con- fronted with our present standing. In our desire to stand as other men, white men, We feel a sense of griev- ance becatise we find it impossible to do so, consequently these racial pa- triotic days are not always so appeal- ing. Not ithe whole race, but too many, we think, look at the situation too squarely ‘in the face. Great racial movements, great nation movements do not proceed in a direct line. ‘The children of Israel did not win their way to freedom by a direct route. It took the wit of Moses, who took his lessons of God himself, to unweave the Egyptian mesh of bondage. |The circuitous route to enlarged liberty cannot always be charged up to a certain people at a certain time, Pre- judice is inherited, becoming a part of @ people, ingrained in their natures, justified as they view it, by reason: ing which stills the conscience. The perverted, if we may be so cruel as to call it'so, is that which has been struck down from its high altitude, but nevertheless a conscience, the new measurement for right and wrong. Those at the Civil war who found themselves in possession of prejudice and slaves were also fortified with a seemingly justifiable reason for the same. The slaves and prejudices were their heritage. If we know truth, honor and right, we know it of our forbears, our immediate parentaze, our remote parentage. In spite of the wisdom of the world those facts tor propositions instilled by those whom we honor, love and obey will linger Jongest with us. Amid the thunder ‘of opposition, the still voles ot those carries to the heart, as a thing sepa- rate and distinct of the din ef com. bined noises, So we should not feel too greatly aggrieved because we fail in measur: ing up to the full stature of men. Prejudice is a heritage, of the mind, handed down by those who have gon¢ before. It is especially mean, malig nant in our case, since it is supported; it is apparently necessary owing to our traits and characteristics which have been distinctly different, and which are yet to some extent, distinct ly different. Say what we will there is some reason for some prejudice. In view of the fact we will not stand from under the banner of good cheer and optimism if we know what is best for us. We should measure the distance we have come. There is always reason for cheer 80 Jong as the movement is forward. What has been, the darker part has been removed: it is moving. If the route is blocked at one point it will. break out at different point, in the meanwhile the whole is improving because of the im provement of 2 given point, provided there's no backward movement. We haye suffered somewhat owing to a slight backward movement along 4 line or 0, But after all it was not 3 backward movement. We had no! made the progress that we thought we had made. We know better at this time, There aro no more inflated no tions to be punctured, We are al hard pen, | If we do right we will measure the |distance we have come. giving praise for that, to those who made — the |march possible, to thore who sus “tained us along the route. We cannot ‘see how that any people may be ex cluded. The South has the reputa tion of being severe on the race, an¢ it is, But tho South has been great beyond expression within these fifty years. The ten thousand Negro schoo houses that dot the Southland came because of these who saw their al snatched from them at the coming of the Yankees. The school house: are the basis of clvilization. It is useless’ to attempt to enume rate the mercies of the white peo ple, North or South. They have sut fered as much for tis as we have fot ourselves. We appreciate the struggle of ow own men to be, to have, to hold, bu! ft would be blasphemy’ to boast o' this without taking into account ou friend, the white man, and he is that even when our enemy—paradoxically:; we will not forget our enemy who i our friend.

(Tim E. Owsley, Manager.) The Crown Garden Theater is still playing to prosperous business, had a lot of the acts to the failure of two of the acts to connect in time. Result, no show Monday night. Everything in trim for Tuesday evening. Four good acts made up the Rosa Brown and Lizzie Wallace, High- Class Dance Artists That delightful pair of artists, Brown and Wallace, were cordially greeted when they opened the nightly opening night. Aside from being high-class performers, they make a speciality of dressing their parts. Get Him" written by Prof. Toney Jackson for the act. He is now playing at the Elite Cafe, Thirty-first and State Theatre. The costumes are brilliant and essentially allure. The gowns on the opening evening were of black silk, lining loosely from the shoulders, having the appearance of being between a cape and a mansported and yellow made for a soilder effect. It was bespangled with white beads, that of Miss Brown's with yellow beads, the loops's gown had a tricolor more slash at the bottom, and through which at times peeped a pretty member of the cast, rather saunterily on their heads. These were decorated with extra long black silk streamers, embling a woman, and rich looking parasols, also of the texture of the gowns, completed the outfit; of course, including the two lovely women; much more elaborate exhibiting a glamour loveliness. Miss Wallace does a pretty turn of the page. She sits on the brown sits at the piano, where she presides gracefully. This song is "Lone and Sweet Son of Chicago" produced by Wallace. Brown's talented song was a bit of good character setting, taking off an individual of her sex slightly in her cups. The singing and meting with The dancing is the feature of their act. In this, their last number, they do song, some dance, but with a musical dance whose artistic arrangement has been thought out by the fine artistic minds of the ladies. Here were all manners of dance, from the ancient Greek classic dances in part with the best of modern art. They moved over the stage with freedom, but through it they were greatly appreciated the effort. Johnson and Robinson, Novelty Act- Slack Wice Artist. These artists, Johnson and Robinson, in these songs, with rapid-fire talk, in which much fun is developed. Miss Robinson then sings "Chesapeake Bay," which was well The slack wire business is the feature, and a good one is the patrol, and a good one has seen no better in fact. Johnson, the male partner, does the same stunts as those seen on what he does, but he does it in the same case. His ring stunt, where he slings rings on and off of his body while he does the stunts, is a plausible Riding the wheel on the slack is clever. The handkerchief stunt perhaps it does not appear so, but must be so, if one will judge by the precaution and care of those who do the feat. It is not with the knee, but with the mouth while on the knees. The act was successful in every way, and the people were willing to see something new, more useful. Hester Kenton, a Crown Garden Farmer. Little Hester Kenton is a favorite at the Crown Garden. When her name appears on the bill something good happens. She puts on a three-poured good numbers, taking them off in her own great style. At the finish she puts over some of the numbers, bit of what's not the rage. The audience goes wild about her. This Kenton's songs are "Some Boy," "O So Sweet," and "San Francisco Bound." All of her numbers got her good applause. She was greeted with applause on her first appearance each Carrington and Juniper, Character Artists This team does a bit of song and dance work on entering, but they are essentially character artists, featuring a character Carrington has conceived a character that at once appeals as some old mummy that every one has known, or some parts of her story. The stuff is especially good, as much applause as he cares for. He is one performer who can regulate his applause. Juniper, as a kid, is also a personification of the mummy, all sorts of kids. You've met and yet you have not met him. You know him and you don't know him. He is a good dancer as well as a good kid impersonator. NEW YORK NEWS. Lincoln Theater. Bart Tyson, eccentric comedian in his singing and talking act, went nicely, Lee and Elisabeth and Kristen, the rest, one a "Street Sweeper," the other a "Mall Carrier." Both of these people are good singers and talkers. They are also good dancers, last half of the past week they played the Bon Ton theater in Jersey City, go on a dance show, and a singer, is good and one of the fastest dancers we have. She went big.

The Greers completed the bill, the last half of the week had Taz Weatherford completed the bill, the Cycling Brunette completed the bill, who made a bit in his natural nature imitations. The "Pool Room" sketch, which was novel, outweighed the original, and with glamour dope scene before the story could reasonably condemn the crooks. We are living in the days of instructors.

RETROSPECTION As the audience sits before the curtain in anticipation of the performance on the boards, there may be a few of them who feel a sense of mind. A feeling of profound admiration comes over them, for a familiar name has been observed numbered among the players on the program. The audience is likely to touch and amuse us here or there, and this particular name or person brings recollections of other days to a few and the audience is likely to touch this name or person, ladies and gentlemen, is none other than Billy Young, an actor from the old school and one who has been a professional field. A man you may well feel proud of. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER for his calling was of the higher class entertaining and which included Shakespeare, peasant and dramatic recitations, good old-fashioned songs and neat dancing—"an all and all fellow for the good of the thing"—and endeavoring at all times to elevate the colored theatrical profession words too which can touch the very heart of the congregation. Its resolution was perfect and great inspiration was engendered by it. The selection from the Oratorio, in five divisions, each representing some scriptural story or song, was also superb, at AGENTS WA This man has given a helping hand to many a raw recruit and started him on a career in the theatre. We have in mind at this instant a performer who is classed as a top-notcher and has been successful, who was literally pushin' for the theatre during the days of McCaball Young's Minstrels, which was one of the biggest and best of its kind on the road. He has been with many shows, but has also been with companies and the Mahara Minstrels, where he spent nearly twenty-eight years with W. A. Mahara, who applauded at "Clever Billy Young" as he is familiarly known, has contracted tuberculosis and is in need of financial assistance. We have also seen the members of the theatrical profession are noted for their generosity, and we believe they will respond in this particular instance. Theatre can be found through The Freeplay or at 728 Leonard street, Dallas, Tex.

Ninety cavalry band, following the regular procession, were held, and large congregations attended each one, it being impossible to watch the chilly night atmosphere, the account of the chilly night atmosphere, The last concert was perhaps the best rendered open air concert ever heard in music, high-class selections only being rendered. The favorite selection seemed to be the "Stabat Mater" (Inflammatus), Rossini. It not only appealed to the assembled audience because of the exceptional sound, but also the modulation, poise, rhythm, in words, and words too which seemed to touch the very heart of the congregation. Its resolution was to give great inspiration was engendered by it. The selection from the Oratorio, in five divisions, each representing some scripture or song, was sometimes fairly taken in stride of its feet. The kindness of Colonel Galloway in permitting him to hand to render this very excellent concert, the paints taken by Prof. Hammond in preparing it, and the great reverence and admiration of the individual player, combine to lift the Ninth cavalry still higher in the estimation of Douglas people. The cavalry hand and head has rendered open air concerts in the City park once a week, with few exceptions, and now that the season for this enjoyment is over, the people of Douglas go out toward the Ninth cavalry hand and its leader, also kind and generous to a fault with the people of Douglas ever since he has been born. He is with the people of international speaking thus for the people of Douglas, and believes there is not a man, woman or child in the city who will heartily join in this sentiment. LOOK! NOTICE!

Week of Oct. 20, Queen Theatre, Wilmington, N. C. Own Judgment. Dat's Your Cue Mr. Manager IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MCGUTH. SAM LANGFORD. Tar Baby Gave a Poor Account of Himself—Was Too Fat—Johnson's Road Forfeited. I have noticed that quite often when discussions about comparative cleverness of latter-day boxers and former pugilists are in order, some cite will make reference to the marvelous Griffon, as if were a standard by which all that is clev. (By Billy Lewis.) I ventured the opinion that Sam Langdon was too fat, too stuffy, when he met Danielle October 3. It stands to reason that he was too fat, pounds, and still be as asile as she was before he took on the additional aid that I ventured the opinion, and I did that I am not alone. The following from Sam Langdon saw the fact of more authority: That, pot-bellied and slow, Sam Langford has gone away back. I don't think he could come again even for a light with me. That was the verdict of Charlie White, famous referrer, on the Langford-Jenette account. "He thinks he is "gone." The fat which made Langford look like a hoozer in the Jenette affair, white says. Very truly the game of elimination has been going on, somewhat different from what it was through and under our very own rules. It it might be that elimination process has acted so differently to what was thought: or perhaps it was the game that eliminated business was mainly for weeding out Jack Johnson; at least it was thought. Now it appears that the thing was like a great game of chess, and that the great Negro fighters were moved about as pawns, and they all appeared in as overplowed horses. Jack Johnson fied the entanglement, and they appeared in as threatened with desition. The weakling, so thought of, the quartet remained with us to be mainly pummelers our own opponents, who would be development in the run of things. Imagination? Yes, perhaps, but just the same, it is what almost happened. CHICAGO—Federal Judge Carpenter, October 5, declared that Jack Johnson, Negro fighter, when he failed to appear to stand trial on the seven remaining counts against him, charging violation of This is the latest mote on the Johnson bond business. A few days ago it was stated that he had been put to an appearance in April next. Now it appears that the $300,000 is already forcified; that Jack Johnson month ago used. This is a calamity, to say the host. He has, so far, the distinction of being the only Negro that has ever been a victim of the money at once. It will not be thought, however, that he enjoys such a distinction. He well wishers almost hope he would have saved enough of the wreck to hold him together for the remainder of his days, he has drank his hemlock, but I hope not. PETER JACKSON WAS SKILLFUL AUSTRALIAN FIGHTER Naughton Pronounces the Big Black the "Most Perfect Boxer" the Antipodes Have Sent to This Country—some of His Notable Enquiries. (By W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-A correspondent wants to know who, in the writer's opinion, all the Australian ringmen who came to America in the 80's and 90's. And, while I think of it, I might remark, "correspondent, asking me to fill a pretty large question. In the communication embodying the query the gentleman says: "I am a close reader of all that is in regard to ring happenings, and $3.50 REGIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakness, manhood, failing memory and an unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has caused so many worn and nervous men to need help or medicine—that, we think every man who wishes to regain his normality, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, or envelope to any man who will write us for it. This prescription comes from a physician who has made a sprain and, and we are, conditioned it is the surprazing combination for the cure of manhood and vigor failure ever put to use. We think we owe it to our fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that they can anywhere who is weak and discontented, drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what we believe is the most acting restorative, upbuilding, TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and to help him to heal quickly. Just drop us a line like this: Interstate Remedy Co., 3831 Luck Build, Brort, Mich., and we will send you a piece of medical advice, explain ordinary envelopes, are of charge, great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a presentation, like this—but we send it entirely. So far as Griffo may figure in a discussion of this kind, I would prefer to have opportunities of making comparisons between Griffo and other Australians when Griffo was at his best. Australia sent us some carefully edited books with my experience and recollections mellowed by years, I have no obstimation in saying that Peter Jackson was the "most perfect" antipodeus I have seen in real action. George Dawson had ideals of his own and did not how to the lines of the Maco and the Maco's, but he complained to him complained in the ring, he earned the right to be described as clever, but he was far from being as well balanced a piece of fighting as the Australians were extremely clever, having the fine points of the game at their command to a degree which made them appear graceful in action. Among the Australians who opposed to him O'Donnell was another; George McKenzie, a lightweight, was a very talented glove wilder and that scamp. George McKenzie was also opposed to him to foolish. Fitzjimmons boxed cleverly when he first came across, but when he began to study anatomy and devise knockout punches, he sacrificed art. Peter Jackson was the most talented exponent of the Mace school of boxing, and he was known for his how to lead and counter, and time and measure, and his footwork always rhymed back and subdued in a bewildering way, and he appeared to be always within range so far as his own attack was conceived, and he was known when his adversary tried retaliation. I remember Jackson's first match at the Mace school in 1888, when his adversary cisco back in 1888. His opponent was George Godfrey, the Boston colored heavyweight, who, on account of his endurance, never forget the palmed look which came over Godfrey's face when he first ran rallows and seemed to have an arm as long as an anar, picked Godfrey off his feet with a hunging bow, and Godfrey had proved himself a game fellow in many hard fights, but as he sat there that night the expression on his countenance or mingled surreptitiously in A little later in the evening George received a heart punch from Jackson's right, and wry gliding eyes and quivered eyebrows as he hand aloft and acknowledged defeat. Jackson's accurate knowledge of things he saw shattered by Big Joe McMahon's Mission Giant. For a number of rounds Jackson prodded the giant with straight lefts and kept his own head up. He was able to back fire. Then Jackson fainted McAuline into leading with the left. Joe straightened his arm and Jackson threw his head inside and side up, and he was gone. While doing so he brought his right across, and a sharp spat, followed by a trickle of blood from big Joe ear, showed that the giant had been offended. After that poor Joe was cut down slowly and scientifically. He was too big to be handled, and Jackson whipped him artistically and came out of the melee without a scratch. I am wandering away from mike point, but I am still there. It is for old-time critics to reminisce. In answer to my correspondent, I will simply repeat that Peter Jackson was the first to hand a strapless lamb to studyings I had opportunity of studying. WOLGAST WINS OVER NELSON IN HARD MILL Michigan Fighter Has All the Better of Dane, with Exception of T MILWAUKEE, Wils.-Ad Wolgast, of Cadillac, Mich., defended Battling Nolson, and node decision boxing contest October 12. Wolgast had the better of eight of the tour contests. The tour contest was the hardest and fastest ever seen here, both men appearing anxiously to put the other out. He was the first to win swift battle, and three times had the Dane groggy. He used his left to the chin and right to the face with great force, but the Batter ally was not. Dane Shows Well at Times Nelson, bored in continually and at times showed flashes of his old-time form, but his blows lacked force. Both tired toward the front of the contender, and the contender boring in intacties, but Wolgast was far the fresher at the close. Blood was flowing, from the Dane's nose, car and lips from the hard and sharp teeth. It was Wolstaz's fight after the first round. He drew his first blood with a blow to his left hand and the round was over, and except for the second round, had much the better of his opponent. Wolgast Staggers Nelson. In the second round four clean swings to the jaw caused Nelson to reel, and, on recovering, he could not land effectively. Wolgast landed Nelson and poured a slower of blows upon his face. Nelson played for the body, but his blows lacked power. Wolgast forced his opponent to the rear and landed in the fifth knocked him nearly through. In the fifth Nelson landed a heavy blow in the face which sent Wolgast's head up. Nelson was apparently tired when the round ended. Charlie White, of Chicago, challenged the winner before the end of the bout, Jimmy Britt and Jimmy Clabby were introduced to the big crowd of spectators. Harry Stont was the third man in the ARTHUR E. DORTCH, Greatest Colored Pool Player in the Country—His Record. Arthur E. Dortch, who is known from coast to coast as being one of the greatest colored pool players in the world, was born in San Francisco. Mr. Dortch is now located in San Francisco, and still loves the game, but, owing to a bad eye, which has been a great drawback for upstart players, he is not sure how to give up the game to an extent, so far as important games are concerned, but manages to hold his own with the majority of opponents. In 1902 Mr. Dortch defeated Bob Ridley at Scott Walker's place, where he pursued, where thousands of dollars changed hands on the result. Mr. Ridley at that time was fourteen years old, private eyes, representing himself THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER to be the champion colored pool player from New York State. In the same year he met and defeated Bad Boy, in Seattle, and colored pool player west of the Rockies. In 1912 Mr. Dortch met and defeated Mack Smart, of Denver, for the colored championship of Colorado State. This victory made Mr. Dortch a prominent Club, which is controlled by Mr. Nick Walker. Mr. Walker lost, considerable money, and Mr. Smart went broke. This was Mr. Dortch's last game of importance. He was under the specialist's care; but with all that he hopes to be able to entertain some of the best of them doing the Panama-American position in San Francisco in 1913.

Bean, commonly known in boxing circles as Kid Hoy, who has been giving a good account of himself through this second season. I am the only recognized colored middleweight champion that is ready to mill anywhere for a reasonable purse. I be prepared to fight throughout the United States to keep me a busy boxer all winter, for I'll box for any promoter anywhere or, if any place I can find, to have a meeting have been very anxious for a meeting with such boxers as Hock Bones, the 100 Mempils, Tenn., champ; Christy Williams, of Dayton, O., or Jack Hannable, the star of Indianapolis. I have appeared in seven games, and have always promoted the promoters could secure on both sides, black and white, and have always returned the winner. In my last contest, I was the winner of the fight. October 6, before the North Side Gymnasium, even the referee stated that on account of the betting on the bout he was the winner, he saved himself severe trouble, as my performance was the greatest ever seen in Evansville, Ind. He is a champion, and are meeting every boxer who is a city's favorite, the champion must be in the pink of condition, show class, and do much to improve his performance, comes to being paid, a colored champion is neglected in many ways. I am a true boxer, and am touring the United States boxing league more than myss. My weight in all my fights is 185 pounds. I m a p. 6 m. p. day of contest. WHAT'S DOING IN THE WORLD OF SPORT. T. L.

The boys are to weigh not over 133 pounds at 6 o'clock that evening. NEW YORK—Packey McFarland will play in the championship recording to an announcement of the Chicago lightweight recently. McFarland is now putting on the finishing touches of his training for the bout with Tommy Fury, a former champion to start studying law," said McFarland. "I may give boxing exhibitions, but will not fight again for money. After the go with Witchel and Walsh, but I will never make less than 153 at 3 o'clock." CHICAGO—Bat Nelson will never drown a pair of gloves again, he announced when he stopped in Chicago, on route to his home in Hewesgohill, "I fight with Wolcott, and that is what I said," he said the former champion, "I felt fine, but I lacked the punch." The manager of Kid Turner, westerweight, and Jim Black, light-heavy, wishes to know the names and addresses of athletic clubs. He hopes to get matches for his boys. Jim Black's last fight was with Frank Hoe, of this city. He is especially desirous of knowing clubs in Columbus, O. and Joplin, M. He challenges, with Frank Hoe, 65 pounds. Address T. E.

Oct. 13—The Gordon's original oil paintings, engraved Gordon's original oil paintings, engraved the season of 1913 at French Lick Springs with a record to be enticed, having defeat-able series, also in two-one games, fall series, therefore having claim to undisputed championship of the Spring Valley League, and by defending good clubs Michigan and Minnesota they won seventy champions of the Middle West. On a tour of three months through Wisconsin, Iowa, Michigan and Minnesota they won seventy champions of the Northwest. Some facts worth knowing about Gordon's peerless playing Plutos; lost but three games in two months; left home June 1, returned September 16; won seventy games and lost seven; played seventeen games with the Sprudels since their return, winning elevations of P. Hill, B. Taylor and J. Taylor, of American Giants, in line-up. Teing three games in as many days is a feat never known to have occurred in baseball because Won.

Mr. and Mrs. Channan, wealthy reside- ers of the St. Louis Lack Hotel, presented the champion Plutos with a beautiful pennant flag, 15 feet long by 8 feet wide. The St. Louis Lack Hotel, for its hard-hitting Plutos, was a fitting climax to their brilliant season, being largely attended by admiring friends from the guests from the Springs Hotel, Manager Gordon hopes to have one of the strongest clubs in the country next season, and the sponsorship of the world with colored teams.
