C., November 19, the famous Clef Club, of New York City, have a concert at the Howard Theater. The black Manus, Thomas's beautiful day broughts from pit to lome. The music brochures, the work of noted Neatro composers, the new love of the man, the size between the folks, song, the run, and the modern tanzo, up to the surely classic. The Sief Club, with its bewildering arms of instrument, play with the music with the工程建设, very of expression and technique that made the cultured audience gasp with surprise — an audience, too, that became so well known, and that often with sous. Creator, Gilmore and the rest of the the masters of the instrumental ensemble, the baton was wielded by Prof. James Ress, who was the first member of the quarto, and the only one of the many-style trained musicians responded to it every movement as if they were a part of it. Mr. Europe was assisted by Mr. W. W. and the later the men who was not less effective in bringing out the vast possibilities that life in the typical compositions of the evening, twon- in a new way of the music, and nearly every big matter of enorg. and nearly every big number was so vocoterosly applau- dized that it had to be repeated. W. W.

Smith, baritone, and Vance L. Lowery, banjoist. Mr. Mitchell curated the 2000 music lovers pres- sپاس, the artist of the action of Tver on Calling Me Ware and Jeter re- ceived an ovation. "The West Virginia Dance," and A Hot Step furnished the "romants" for the varied proprietary. The Cef Club cannot be too lavisily praised for giving the people of Washington an opportunity to hear them. It is much to say that out of their visit the local musicians may get together and form an orchestra along similar lines in the near future. The visit of the Cef Club is an important event. They need not give themselves any misunderstanding about the kind of a reception that will be accorded them when ever come this way again. Manager of the Cef Club out a shaw or bitch, and all Washington is grateful to him that he has provided a place where such concerts can be given under circumstances that are so satisfactory and where we can feel thoroughly at home.

Clarke described the visit of the Trotter team to the government Chasnutt, N. H. H. Thomas, F. D. McCracken and others talked of the virtues and the press in dealing with the affairs of the race. It was held that the white press is not guilty of all the staining in the race, to commend those that deserve it.

Calvin Chase is still in the air. A. Thomas, the first of which was "framed up" without the knowledge or consent of the persons whose names were used. Taking a cue from our list of significant omissions last week, a few of the recalcitrants were stuck onto the list of "subscribers" in a revised announcement, and some of these were unauthorized. Even at that, a score or more of Manager Thomas's closest friends are not on the list, numbers of them representing large and valuable interests and enthusiastic on matters of that nature. Among these regular attendants are: - Fans - Whose names Chase could not get? - Prof. Arthur C. Newman, James F. A. Ston, James C. Waters, Jr., Lawyer J. E. Collins, Dr. G. W. Cabaniss, A. T. Lewis, Major C. A. Fleetwood, Prof. G. W. Cook, W. H. H. Terrell, N. L. Guy and a host of others, who would be glad to honor the energetic Thomas under proper auspices. Mr. Thomas will have his usual big houses next week, such as come all the time, but as a "special occasion" there will be nothing out of the ordinary. The Chase is not a frost. People are paying absolutely no attention to "testimonial" frame-up, recognizing that it is not in good faith. By and by Mr. Thomas' real friends will give him a testimonial that will be "some" testimonial. "My Friend from Kentucky." J. Leubrie Hill's respilient production, "My Friend from Kentucky," with brand new dialogue, humorous situations and a half dozen musicals, to say nothing of a half dozen principals and a chorus of girls that are good to look upon. "Burning on away!" is the title of the best thing Washington bus seen for a long time, and ambily justifies the opinion of the city. York World that it is up to Washington to boost Broadway comedy excellence. The big parts are in the hands of J. Leubrie Hill, Even Robinson, Sam Gaines, Will Brown, Julian Scales, and John Schaefer. The all, of whom handle their opportunities brilliantly and appear to mark adages, so, Pankey, Johnny Peters, Johnson Schaefer, and Johnson occupy a big spot in the limelight. Clarence Logan, the premier press agent in the business came on in ad-hoc, and the audience, in a degree of acknowledgment that everybody knows the Hill aggression is "in our midst."

Fillmore, who transferred from Washington to New York City primarily to assist the colored people of the Empire State to secure a Negro-led government, is the first of the history of having a provisional regiment ordered, but is of the opinion that the establishment of such a regiment will not be necessary for the success of his army. The matter is still "up in the air." Mr. William Webb, who spent a week here recently following a trip to New York City as Kentucky's commissioner to the Emancipation Exposition, contributed a column letter to the Winchester College of the American College of Home. The article describes in graphic language the delightful experiences of Mr. Banks and his amiable wife while in Washington, telling of the social events and the experience of his wife, who was making note of the things heard and seen at the Capitol, the White House, Mount Vernon, Howard University, Miss N. H. C. and the other his return to the United States special interest.

C.

CHICAGO, IL., November 20—Another recognition that has thus far come to a mark in the history of Chicago's citizens. Perhaps it is the greatest recognition that has thus far come to a mark in the history of Chicago's citizens. The American Clinical Surgical Society, which met in this city last week, appointed a board of regents to draft bylaw changes to the organization of Fellow of American College of Surgeons. There are in North America 1,050 members and 106 in Chicago. The college was selected by the College of Surgeons of England, which is considered in that country to be the foremost organization of surgery. To be a member in America is the highest honor that can be earned in the medical profession. Dr. Williams' Record. The Commercial Chronicle of August 10, 1813, representing the largest financial interest of Chicago and the United States, published a survey of unintended surgeons and fellow-townmen: as recent editorial of one of the country's greatest journals, it deplored the fact that physicians and surgeons who have blazed the trail of modern medicine have been the most important of praise by the people at large. Pasteur and others, he said, had done more for humanity than Washington or John Adams, and he was familiar to the thousands who consider Grant and Lee as great heroes of history. Undoubtedly he was more or less right. He was the most important daily becoming more appreciative of the greatness of our surgical pioneers. Operates on Heart. "Chicago people should not forget that in this city is located one of the world's leading surgeons, a man who passed away in 2015 with feeble feet of modern surgery by proving that it was possible to operate upon a living human heart. We refer to Daniel Hale Willett, a surgeon who provided Dearborn and Thirty-sixth street. Dr. Williams was the first surgeon to operate upon the living heart with complete success. He was the first surgeon of a man who had been stabbed and left for dead. The man is living to-day, the operation having been performed in 1832. Founder of Provident Hospital. Dr. Williams founded Provident Hospital in 1832, and never would have been possible but for the doctor's own personal efforts. He solicited the funds necessary for its establishment and the surgeon after its great work had begun. Staff of St. Luke Hospital. Dr. Williams was born in Pennsylvania of free parents, in 1858, coming to Wisconsin as a child. He was educated in Northwestern University, and received a medical degree of medicine in Chicago in 1883. He is a member of the American Medical Society, and was on the surgical staff of Orphanage Hospital from 1883 to 1883. He was a member of the Illinois State Board of Health from 1884 to 1889. From 1899 to 1891 he was a memorial staff. He is now on the staff of St. Luke Hospital. For five years, during the administration of President Cleveland, Dr. Williams was a member of the Freedman's Hospital, Washington, D. C. the largest Negro hospital in the world. For a number of years he has fouled the medical clinics at Southern medical colleges. "Dr. Williams is one of the most succes- tive American, America, and day a final example of miserific physician who modestly accomplis- ses his mission," he presents American citizenship at its best.

Phone, Webster 860 M. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Short Flights **By R. W. Thompson.** "Same old Chase!" If you see it in The Washington Bee, it ain't so! Be indispensable, but don't let the boss know that you think you are. Whatever it takes to get W. Calvin Chase's "goat," the short Flights man seems to have it. The worthy citizens of Nashville do not need to go abroad to find out the manner of man J. C. Napier is. The race has too much at stake for newspaper men and others on the "firing line" to be wasting precious time and valuable space in airing personal grievances. Whenever the national organizer(?) of the National Negro Business League organizes his next local league, he will have one to his credit since last May. isn't that going some? Dr. L. S. Flagg fits in as pastor of the great Bethel A.M. E. church at old as the successor to the late Dr. Flickland. Dr. Flagg is a tall figure in the church of Allen and Payne. The minister is entitled to a living wage. A hungry man has a hard time paying the overweight conviction in a manner that will carry conviction. Optimizin travels only with prosperity. Baltimore is regarded as the logical place for the midwinter meeting of the executive committee of the National Negro Press Association. The time tenuous set is the first Saturday in February. Former Register Napier is loyal to his people. No man has gone further out of his way to help the Negro race than has Mr. Napier, and he has helped the high school low with economic enthusiasm and patience. Newspaper advertising is the best advertising. Why? Because it reaches the people with whom the advertiser is most likely to do business. The newspaper of the churches ever member of the family circle. That malicious attack on J. C. Napier was the "worst ever." No excuse for it but sheer accumulation of "bile" on the holder, but Napier who tried to "hold the powder" because of his failure to make good. Of course, you are going to Oklahoma—the L'and of Promise—to meet the business business. Look next August. All roads lead to Muskegue, a city of Muskegue, with Boley as one of the inspiring attractions. "Turning the other cheek" is beautiful—in the Bible. The bully hereabouts abnegation, and we are frequently compelled to lay our religion on the shelf—for the time being—and smash him in the jaw. "The Freedmen's Friend" is the name of the quarterly issued by the students of the Christian burg Industrial Institute, Cambria, W. Va., of which Prof. E. A. Long is principal. It carries fifty-two pages of interesting material. It is too late in the day for any gang of marlots and character assassins to successfully attack the race royalty of that courtiary gentleman and Christian man. "Epaper," of Tennessee, will recently "Epaper," of Everybody's Treasury. A Business League should be organized in every community where there is found any considerable number of our people who are interested in the job, be the logical leader in all civic, educational and social activities. Now is the time to do the foundation work. Next year will come the harvest. Harry P. Woodson, of Charleston, W. Va., has declined the offer of a second lieutenancy in the Liberian army, tending to the troops in the region, the suggestion of Major Charles Young, the military attache at Monrovia, who is engaged in instructing the constabulary forces of Liberia, Mr. Woodson was trained at Wilberforce. The whole truth is told when it is declared that "regregression is unacceptable" and that "promises dissatisfaction, besides being unfair to the colored race." This is the frank and unequivocal expression of R. M. Roberts, demonstrator of grief for the Santa Monica Pension, Cal. The Negro still has some white friends at court. "The Strange Case of Eric Marotte" is a ne wook that is bound to attract attention, the Jr. and written by Bob Lester, Jr., and written by a modern historiological problem-romance of Chicago. It lives up to its unique title and tells a story that grips the imagination and compels thought away from the need to bring concrete results in the future. The truth, no matter how unpleasant, is that he owes a lot of irresponsible gossipers, who blow away in a breath the fair reputation of a woman, the business standing of a bank or the commanding influence of a man. The truth will place the blame where it properly belongs and shield the innocent from ghouls and scandal-mongers. Tell the truth! At the Philadelphia meeting of the National Negro Press Association, that brilliant orator, in the address of the Keystone Convention, sat in Pennsylvania, carried his hearers over the matchless mountains, delightful valleys and into the hearts and homes of the Keystone Convention, in the minds of the pen-pushers who sat rapt beneath his eloquence. Is there a national cabal against Negroes who are managing to hold onto their places under the administration of the national herd? Those who think so—and they think they have their weather-oye on the mainspring by the mischief of lying "news articles," palmed off on well-meaning, but awfully susceptible journalists in the various localities removed from Washington. Brother J. H. Murphy says Baltimore are wary of the national herd. Dr. Druid Hill and Pennsylvania avenues, tell the solid business men of those thorny issues, what commercial uplift of the race—and the thing is done. Get busy, Brother Murphy, co-owner of the Cummins, Chisum, Wilson, Johnsons, Lvons and others to help you in the good work: Henry Allen Boyd has sent out the membership cards of the National Negro Association, which will follow as soon as the Central Regalia Company can get them ready. These badges and cards will be recognized in police and guardians of civic safety in all of the cities, in line with the privileges American Associated Press. This is one of the forward movements of the N. N. P. A. indicating that it is a live organization. Dr. D. P. Roberts was the logical man to send to Bethel A. M. F. church at Indianapolis, Ind., where he served with such eminent satisfaction some twenty years ago. The Hoosier church has grown, and so has Dr. Roberts, and the new association will be in happy accord with the new order of things. It is the opinion of those versed in A. M. E. "politics," that Dr. Roberts will find the Bishopric several stations nearer Indianapolis than Chicago, the result that it will be "Bishop Roberts" in 1916. A better selection could not be made. Dr. Booker T. Washington, in a strong letter to the writer, urges a large attendance of the members of the National Negro Press Association at Muskogee, Oklahoma, next August, and again testifies to his hearty appreciation of the Herculean support of the press has given to all of the meetings of the National Negro Business League, with which it is affiliated. The Press Association has a true friend in the "Wizard," and he is in no wise responsible for the hostile attitude of a few of the journalistic "frosts" who insist upon camping upon his trail for their own benefit. The National Negro Business League stands sadly in need of a national organization to help them stir up the interest of the plain people, instead of a tourist center, a business center where prosperous leagues already exist and where the men in control were easy to find. Columbus to rattle around in the office of the auditor for Tay Tay to remind us of a fresh convert praying for the saints in the "amen corner" and overlooking the sinners in the back pews. Mrs. Paul Lawrence Dunbar, formerly Miss Alice Ruth Moore, a platform orator of power and a delightful woman, recently at York, Pa., where she delivered a scholarly and highly significant address before the gushed citizens of city. Among the gushed citizens of city, to hear her were the mayor of York, the principal of the high school, the superintendent of education in the o'cial and literary life of the place. Mrs. Dunbar has been connected with the public schools of Wilmington, N.C., and She is seldering invitations to address other civic organizations in various cities. The great A. M. E. Zion Church ought to have a "Year Book," gotten out regularly, with proper additions and corrections, and with a record history accurate yis to check up events as they happen and gather statistics while the factors are within reach. The man to do this important work is Harvey Anderson, of Harburg, Pa. The money spent for this service could not be spent on other things. His whose heart is in the work, would be willing to do it at a minimum moost to the church. When a public man is willing to do it he behooves the men at the helm to draw on his talents for the good of humanity. The Negroes of High Point, N. C. are to have a cotton factory in the near future. This is an evidence that a small percent, of the value of his cotton, when he leaves it on the platform of his factory it from the field. The black man will get his proportion of the big profit only when he makes his sales in which it is stored, markets it to the wholesaler, manufactures it in the mills, wholesales it to the larger merchant in which it is stored, markets it to the actual consumer. This is "going some," but it is the route the Negro must take to the natural product of his industry in the where he must work out his salvation. Georgia will present the name of Col. Henry Lincoln Johnson for grand master of the G. U. of O. F. at the Boston meeting of the B. M. of O. F. September, 1914, and the official grand master and the promotion to first place would be a fitting solution of the problem that now confronts the Odd Fellows fraternity. In the future, the fellowship's ability, has an international reputation as a leader of men, and possesses the force of character and diplomatic skill to unravel the tangled skeletons of the fraternity. It is "in bad" for the past few years. Let the Morristites, the Houstonites, the Daviesites and the Jonesites and all of the other tribes in the Three Links' Israel get to know it, and make it Grand Master Johnson in 1814. Edwin H. Hackley's new comedy, "The Ambassador" is being highly praised by the press and public of Philadelphia, and is being presented in theoration of details and stage accessories at the Academy of Music in the Quaker City early in November for the benefit of the students managed by G. Grant Williams, and among the participants in the cast were H. Bennett, W. H. Morris, Charles A. Hammond, and T. T. Telleou Jones. Mr. Hackley, the author, was for years the editor of the Den of the post-service in Philadelphia. He and his charming wife, Mme. E. Azala Hackley, are widely known for their deep awakening of the colored race throughout the land. It will be interesting to the business Negroes all over the land to know that the North Carolina Mutual and the director of the North Carolina Mutual Association, of Durham, N. C., it was decided to change the plan of operation of the company on a level basis. This means that no polycholesterol will have to pay an extra assessment in the form of a fee for the changing of the charter of the company but Messrs. John Merrick, C. C. Spauland, and John Merrick, C. C. Spauland, at the helm, put the matter through neatness and dispatch. This makes the North Carolina Mutual and the Provider of the company more efficient in the line companies directed by the race. The deposit with the state insurance commission will be paid directly from at the Muskgoose meeting of the National Negro Business League. It is an "eye-opener" Negro's capacity for doing "his business." Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh, of Chicago, talks out like a real American on race question, and he is learning his ground up stand up for his minded white friends, no matter what they call themselves, politics, or to fight injustice in their society. Low are the for the men who are for us. The killing of Grand Master William A. Cunningham is a calamity to the order and to the race. He was one of our best-hearted and brave men, our best friend, who done Herculean work for the Mosaics, and a short time ago presided at the dedication of the order, massive, $80,000,000. He was the triumph of his career as grand master. He was an active member of the NAACP, a highly regarded by Dr. Booker Washington and the forces that stand near the head of that helpful organization, whose place will be difficult to fill satisfactorily.

SS-O" which Grows Hair in Three Keeps the Hair Straight in that the alarming increase of baldness covery of a remarkable compound which actually grows hair. No longer need the prospects of having to wear a wig distress men and women who are rapidly become bald, or who have already lost most of their hair. "GLOSS-O"—The name given to this wonderful compound—has been tested in every way, and found that it will actually cover the human head with hair, providing that hair roots have not been destroyed, in three months.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Governor's Thanksgiving Day Proclamation is a cracker jack. Mexico at this time is the world's political enigma. The muddle is not a very inviting business to poke into. The greater Christmas issue of the Freeman will come from the press the week of December 20th. Let us hear from you at once. Preparing right now for the big number. It is thought that the proposed Negro regiment will be long in forming owing to obstacles placed in the way as to the officers. It seems that they don't care about Negro men as officers in regiments, even in New York, regardless of the fact that they officer a Negro regiment. The birthplace of the Negro mayor of the Loanan borough of Battersea is already a mooted question. Some publications have it that he is a United States Negro from the State of Georgia. Others have it that the new mayor is John Archer, who was born in Liverpool, his father being a West Indian and his mother an Irish woman. We hope that it will not turn out that the whole business is more or less mythological. It has been urged that Frederick Douglas' latter marital affair has had something to do with the delay in getting funds together to life. We are satisfied that he incurred considerable displeasure when he crossed the race line, but we do not think that the ghost of the thing still haunts, at least, not to the extent of defeating such a commendable purpose as those who would save his home has in view. The tango dance has invaded Europe, and everybody's doing it, nearly everybody. Emperor William of Germany has taken the matter rather seriously. He doesn't think very much of the dance. According to the newspapers he has instructed the officers not to visit families where the dance was favored. It's too bad. The tango is a pretty thing when done in reason. But it is full of opportunities for "improvement." It's a sort of ad lib dance, one's conscience being the limit. In commenting on the progress and prosperity of the Negroes the Richmond Times-Dispatch spoke most interestingly of the educational situation of the South and also of the agricultural phase. It concedes that the Negroes own an appreciable per cent of the land and that they are increasing their holdings yearly. The publication rather than being alarmed at the progress thinks it a sensitive thing that the Negroes are indicative of friendship between the races, of help and support in whatever legitimate field of endeavor. The occasion was the first annual convention of the Negro Organization Society. Dr. J. W. E. Bowen, of Atlanta, Ga., was recently elected to membership in the American Academy of Political and Social Science, which has its headquarters in the University of Pennsylvania, states The Southwestern Christian Advocate of New Orleans, La. He was even more recently elected to membership in the Burbank Scientific Association of California. Dr. Bowen was present at the New York celebration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Emancipation of the Negro and addressed at this time a magnificent audience on "The Place of Creeds in Our Religious Life."—Noted in one of our exchanges. Dr. Bowen is a distinguished member of the M. E. church and a favorite. At the mention of colored men for bishops in that church his name is always heard. According to report one John Richard Archer, Negro from Georgia, has become mayor of Batersea Parkroad, London, England. The following note is also in circulation: Refined, well educated, learned in the political and social history of England, popular with all classes, he was selected to run for mayor. He was elected and became the first man of color to be elected to such a high office. England is recognizing him as a man. He has a white wife, yet both are entertained by the cream of English society and nobility. He educated himself at Manchester and studied the profession of photography. He made it a success and became the leading business man of Batersea Parkroad. The citizens of this borough, in looking for a man to run for mayor, found no better person that Mr. John Richard Archer. Some among us are proud of the fact that a Negro is reported as having been elected mayor of one of the boroughs of London, England. It is rather pleasing information, to say the least. But at that, it must be borne in mind that England has but a few Negro citizens. Under the circumstances it is not the wisest thing to crowlly lust over what seems an advantage over our own country. We must make our country should do what the conditions are equal. We mean that we owe it to ourselves to see our country as the best until oth- er countries offer superior advantage. One bluebird does not make a summer. The fine treatment of one Negro when he is the sole member of his race of a community does not say much by way of solving the race problem. We congratulate the reported Negro mayor as an individual, seeing but very little racial significance in his selection. Some one recently observed that "While the colored race this year is celebrating the fifteenth anniversary of the emancipation, this old home of Douglass, who contributed so much to bring about that emancipation, is falling into decay, and in grave danger of passing into decay, and in grave danger of passing out of the hands of the race by the foreclosure of the mortgages." Ralph W. Tytler, who is making an effort to save the home said that "it would be a sad reflection upon his race if, after 50 years of freedom, it would permit the home to pass from the race, and the furniture, books and art treasures which Douglass spent a life time in collecting, to be scattered. The Douglass home is one of the historical spots in Washington. That is where that if the management works, having anything like a system, the necessary funds will be forthcoming. Popular subscription will do it. The great big government should overlook the color question as much as it is possible to do so. We find heads of firms very often, refusing to see the color question among the employees. They are on to the fact that the races are not altogether lovely but they refuse to add to the discord. These persons know that the Negroes are getting the nasty end anyhow, and they know also that if all had their way the colored brother would sit still further back than he does. Industrial consideration calls for a halt; civil consideration calls for a halt. If not, where will all end? The authorities at Washington should be as thoughtful as the heads of business concerns, who are ever faced with the situation. Something is due the Negroes—something—the motives for self-respect should remain as nearly as possible. Physical nor psychical forces from the outside driving persons to self-destruction is not the scheme that holds man true to the ends of his earthly being. GOVERNOR RALSTON DESIG NATES DAYA THANKS. GIVING. Governor Samuel M. Ralston has, so far as Indiana is concerned, joined President Woodrow Wilson in designating Thursday, November 27, 1913, as a day of thanksgiving. The Governor briefly recites the causes giving rise to the observation, and in a way calculated to carry conviction to the hearts of those who read what he has to say and understand it aight. In part Indiana's chief executive said as follows, as a sort of preamble and grand, to his more specific utterance of reasons for thankfulness: "It is important that on this day we consider in some measure the things that will serve the welfare of the individual and the public and that we give voice to the thought that he who does not discharge his citizen duties is, regardless of his station upward, a charge upon him to—so-called—we should emphasize the fact that prudence, industry and economy are essential to a well-rounded-out citizenship. We should plead for the cultivation of thrift and the avoidance of the dangers of popular extravagance. This we should do since the citizen, who lives beyond his means runs counter to the law of normal living and when he ceases to live simply, he ceases to think sanely." Governor Ralston's foresight and judgment had much to do with bringing people to the car company and its striking employees. One can readily see that the Governor is profoundly thankful for the happy solution of the difficulties, when he says: "Let us not fail to thank God, out of full hearts, that a long step has been taken quite recently in our beloved State toward securing peace and justice in industrial centers through the arbitrament of reason, thus preferring the striking of palms to the striking of bludgeons. And may we not pray blindly when we ask, with our faces to the stars, that the divinity in man may, at no distant day, impel an affectionate and indissoluble union between the two indispensable factors in the world's progress—Capital and Labor." PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO The Indianapolis News commenting on the favorable mention by a southern publication of the first annual convention of the Negro Organization Society recently held in Richmond, Va., recently had the following to say: "Progress of the Negro" is becoming a familiar sentence. Certainly at no time is the attainment that it represents greater or the evidence of it plainer. In Richmond, the first annual convention of the Negro Organization Society has just been held. Decidedly as valuable a contribution to it as any was the leading editorial of the Richmond Times-Dispatch, in which appeared the following: That torganization, as was said last night, touched the hearts of the Indiana community in Virginia. The task of teaching, the two races to co-operate has just begun. In such a movement as has increased the cency of the Negro to increase the cency of the Negro to stronger morally, to educate him practically, to teach him thrift and frutality, to encourage him to economize his part to law and order and to stand for what is highest and best in life—in this vital, actively interested. We should say that, in the face of all the material proofs of the progress that were given at this meeting, greater is the testimony of this spirit. Well ma yte Times-Dispatch say that the task of teaching co-operation between the races has just begun when it can give testimony of such deep appreciation and earnest participation as it gave. It went on to compliment Booker Washington, who, born a slave, in himself had shown great courage and journey; "who has become the most honored and the most justly respected of his race." The Times-Dispatch then reviewed the progress of the Negro in regard to more schoolhouses and pointed to the fact that Virginia was the first state to have a supervisor of rural colored schools. But the Virginia Negro is doing more than this; he is building churches as well as schools; has 300,000 church members and 115,000 children in the Sunday schools. He is progressing in sanitation in all the habits and relations of life. He has more banks in Virginia than in any other state. But most significant of all, he is finding himself in agriculture which, especially in the south, his greatest and fittest place, is giving him larger returns in many more ways than in money. Thirty-four per cent. of the tillers of the soil in Virginia are Ne THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER groves and not 20 per cent, of all the farms in the state, an increase of 20 per cent in ten years, and worth now $55,000,000. The Negro in Virginia owns half the land that he cultivates and the value of his ownership has increased in ten years in land, houses and improvements 180 per cent. What more splendid showing could there be than this? But finer that all is the spirit of the whites toward the Negro as represented by the Times Dispatch, which expresses itself thus: A large proportion of our colored population is yet pathetically helpless and dependent. Here lies the duty and the option of our own land. We must realize that, as in some things the two races must be forever apart, in others they must work together. Two others they must work by side, but not in complete isolation. Their proximity inevitably means certain common interests—those of education, sanitation, morality and safety, we must strike lands and go forward. ing sessions each day, which were largely attended by other denominations and friends. Rev. C. L. Bryant and his coworkers made it pleasant for all and really entertained the visiting pastors and laymen of the connection. It is now conference time and several of the city authorities are busy seeing the non-attending members of their charges over the city. Thanksgiving is to be observed in various ways here this year.

Patience, the observance of law, education in moral and natural welfare, which can now be had on all sides, promise an improvement in the lives of orphaned people in the next two or three decades so great as to make title press status seem far back, indeed. WE ARE THANKFUL We are thankful that we are part of the United States of America, the grandest political, social, commercial and industrial development of the human kind. This appears as the beginning of a great burlesque, but when we stop to think, to wisely consider what we are, from where we came, we may well conclude that the assertion is reasonable enough. It is too previous thought to think that we suffered for above two centuries if we may also think that it was the plan of our civil redemption. Admittedly, at times, we are, a race, displeased because we are not permitted to toe the line with others. As compared with these we are at a disadvantage. But these more favored ones are not the "units" of measurement for comparison. They are those that were born unde the same "unlucky" stars, who saw similar hardships, and who labored under similar disadvantages. If we outclass these world's miserables, so to speak, we should be profoundly thankful for the preferred better fate that lifts so much from the slough of despond. As much as we are displeased at some civil irregularities we yet distance in every conceivable direction all of Africa's true Negro descent. It is not human to wish to log in the arrogance of any man, but it is divine if we are thankful that we so nearly parallel men in their great and glorious latter day achievements. We are thankful that we are practically masters of our own fate, civil, political, religious or otherwise. Our scheme of government permits the Negro race, any race whatsoever, to carve out an empire for themselves. We have a Boley, a Negro city; we have a Mound Bayou, a Negro city; we have other localities where Negroes may legislate, reign, govern without let or hindrance; we hampers the development in great white communities it is because we elect to stay there and be thus hampered and confined. We are thankful for the tide of prosperity that's on in our country, and that we are an appreciable part of its crest. We are thankful for the spirit of tolerance displayed by the Southern white people, who, if they do not admit us to the rtaibles, see to it that our own lacks in nothing excepting their society. We are thankful for the fifty years of freedom and progress made so by a people jointly North South, East—the concert of African nations." DALLAS. TEXAS.

Webb's books and pictures prove it and show it by the Bible. A 12x18 picture of Jesus with woolly hair and His holy angels at His second coming, and a book with Biblical references extending from Genesis to Revelations, prove this fact. The following comments are upon the same: "I beg to say, after hearing Elder Webb on the subject, that the blood of Jesus of Iceland is the blood of Iceland. I am frank to say that I have seldom, if ever, enjoyed such an intellectual treat. The position as assumed the subject of his lecture touching the Hametic blood and race is not so much a picture as a medical knowledge. But, I am pleased to say, that he not only shows himself an expert, but the master of the situation, and I comment him to the ministry and churches our race of every denomination. "[Signed] BISHOP H. M. TURNER." "The evidence submitted by Elder Webb tending to prove that the Savor of mankind was a black man, seems to be sufficient to put those who oppose the proposition upon their proof. He seems to be a man of great intelligence and Bishop, none of the devilers in the Biblical records have not advanced the emotional proposition before. Not only we are Christ a negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been he'd up through all of the ages as the personification of wisdom, and Ethiopian blood in his veins also.—Seat of the Daily Times.

Act 1 - The Hottentott Girl, exponents of song and dance, St. Louis favorites, returned to the city and opened this song to the crowd. A boy, an accident to Miss White, but still they are receiving their share of the applause, the crowd, the teacher and Matthews' song hit, "Prince of France," scoring a decided hit. The next was the "St. Vitus Rag" and dance which began being to Miss White's inability to dance on account of a bad ankle. Miss White leaped by the interaction of evening, Miss Marshall, singing "When I Want a Lift, Loving, Honey, How I Long for You," and a regurgitation by Miss White went big. The act closes with the "Tango Toko" and dance. This act is the best costumed Act II.—Miss Catherine Berry, the songbird, scored an instant success from her first appearance on the Booker Washington stage. She is a singer that is not only a good looker, but knows how to please her audience. She sang "My Cavallero" and, in full, the following words with the "in the Garden, My Feast," being received by the audience with delight and being encouraged time and again. She closed with "To Have, to Hold, to Love," ending an act that was only too short for the audience, as they would have been pleased to see the man her much longer. Act II.—Miss물토 (Morris, that incomparable comedy juggler, slipped us a novelty out that is the first of its kind seen upon the Booker Washington stage. He does some stunts that are hard to beat, and to say that the audience was pleased out of the question—they were completely delighted. This is a novelty activity that is worth seeing. There is good field for such acts on this circuit, and we would like to see more of them, as the audiences are fairly "eating up" this stunt of Morris's. Act IV.—The Stewart Brothers are pulling off some red-hot stuff this week that keeps the audiences in a continuous upkeep. From their first appearance until the end, they were singing Miss Elphant, and then slip over some red-hot jokes that cause the audience to hold COLORED MEN Wanted to prepare as Sleeping Car and Train Porters No experience neces- sary.

"I've Got the Time, Money and My Lady," he said, and he received, but it left for Comedian Stewart to sing the new "All Night Long" to score the greatest hit of the evening. He was not interested in the show. Their act closed with a comedy prizefight referred by "Old Geo Taylor," that was a scream and was well worth the price of admission. When you real good laugh, see the Stewart Brothers. Notice to the Public. Miss Leona Marshall, the well-known member of the Hottentot Girls, wishes to attend at any time or any place. She says: "When I do get ready to marry, you will need to be ready to marry at the place, but I haven't found the man as yet. Now what do you think of that? Tell them to please not mediate into little talk, and I will listened when I get ready to do that stunt, and don't forget it. When I find the man I will glady let him know that Leona is a sign up.

He was a dancer and dancer of choice in this woods and should make good. When they come to your town, you may rest assured that you will see a good act. Ferguson's Silver Glider is the mecca for the vaudeville audience of this city, and is to be a blaze of light and color on Thanksgiving day and night, as many private parties have been arranged for that date, among them one by the NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER Tim E. Owsley, Manager. The bill at the Crown Garden Theater this week is meeting general approval as a good one. A bit of novelty by way of a good one. The Whitman set are among the attractions. Bert Whitman's Company of Fun Makers, Including Alice Whitman, Julius Fowxworth and Albert Callaway. This bunch of players furnishes a variety of high-class fun at the Crown Garden this week. Bert Whitman is a big fan of the Roundabout. Beside, Miss Bert's folk made it clear that anything that bears the Whitman brand is all right. Miss Bert is full of fun. They are known here and were received with aplause at their appearance. Julius is a wit and a connoisseur. He is also teaching of the Georgia dance was a hit. His part in the very dark girl comedy skirt went big. Albert is clever and his part in the skirt. Little Miss Whitman is a peach of a girl, who is rommish and full of fun. She enters into all that is done with good spirit and has a good sense of the Roundabout. Miss Bert Whitman enters last, the real dark girl, whom no one cares to take to the play. She is a beautiful and sinous, "I Wonder Will They Find a Place for a Little Black Girl Like Me." Her plight, color and other disadvantages circumstances become both humorous and pathetic, and the audience does not know whether to laugh or cry. The acting is well done. Miss Whitman is a cleverly composed when she does her well-known prancing, by which she wins applause. The trio first enters singing "See Whiz, Swette, a fiddle" composed by Miss Whitman. "A little girl" compares to the two boys and Alice Whitman. "I Am Dead Stuck on You" is sung by Albert and the little miss, "Alabama Rose" is sung by Alice Whitman. "To Call Me Mamma" is sung by Alice Whitman. These songs are all put over nicely. Miss Bert Whitman is the composer of them all. The costume was become a fea- CHAS.

The Miss Etta Gross and her girls were at most ever yperformance a large crowd, an this work went very well. Then came Minus and Bryant, two very clever people, the most mediated, looked cool and was short of it.

Chadwick and Crippen put over some good and original stuff, quite pretty, is very attractive on the stage and handsome. He is very clever in that line. Chadwick does the comedy, and as a dancer will be found hard to beat. The team is well matched. They work well together and were a big screen Lafayette Theater The opening of Harrison Stewart's act was somewhat strange but good. Miss Maud Jones, commander of a large army of suffrages, was stopped until the same were granted. There could not have been found a better leader for the women's rights association than the Maud's Association of her army, sang the song, "I'm a Merry Suffragette," which was well rendered and loudly applauded. Another great son in the company was Yevgeny and was in the argument between Harrison and Burrs was good: a nice little bunch of cross-fire talk which went big, and Harrison's son, "I'm Satisfying. I'm a man," he said. "What was the effect of this thing I Had," went very big. The show was a nice one from start to finish; plot good, well staged and acted. The next big hit will be the first and the first of the new scenery, a dining car, carrying their own scenery, a dining car in which they were the waiters, and a carload of funs and a car, and a car and a car, and a car and a car, was very well received. Payton was very funny, making the act a great one. Then came Prof. Johnnie Woods, who of the greatest name of his business. He caught the audience from his opening and held them spellbound, closing with a scream. He has the funniest act and that is the best. The quick brown fox jumps over the week. Todescas and Todescas, a clever bicycle act was very pleasing to all. They did a few very difficult feats, which were very good. The whole actions were another act that did very well. "A Night in Venice" was the bill-며칠 of a brass band of twelve pieces that gave an entertainment night-night. The newีสสส, the new-day little vintage song, sang by Madam De Cupante, which was well received. This will be the last week of vandeurs for some perhaps. Next day I will have a Lustrie Hill in this show back again for a run. Crescent Theater. Miss Fay Allen went nicely, Budda and Stubbs did a very nice act and were well received by the audience. These two were also very professional and are clever in their respective parts. Adolf Pete did all right. The Frank Belmont Company, in a western movie, did a very nice act. They were trying it out and it went very well. In time it will make a good one. Roney, the great bender and balancer, did a very nice act, according to the movie. I have seen this act at the Greecey Square theater and know it to be a great one. At any rate, he did well. He could dance and sing and act, dancing. Miss Leonzo Lazo was good. She has one of those strong, loud voices and knows just how to use it. She went on to make a few boys have a race track act and a few funny sayings in it, but to make it a real good act they should have seen Hunter and Chappelle who were together, two boys who had fights with a race track act. Smith and Mills closed the show with a nice singing and dancing act. Their two last songs were knockout songs that have been closed at this house likely. Family Theater. Gibson and Burton went great here. Ru n and Bunn did fairly well. The Pelican Trio, great souls, were well reputed which they made here with this audience long ago.

Fifty:Ninth Street Theater kCThwvrrs-lissnDof os et et etohnai The manager of this theater tries hard to make it a winner. Johnson and Brit- tle, who were the stars of that bill appeared Miss G. B. Hargard, a white woman singing songs that required a chair in which she seated herself in the center of the stage and the first song. Was it that the audience refused to allow her to finish, so she arose and attempted to explain, which made matters worse. He then asked her to remarkals concerning color, which was the worst thing she could have done. Then he asked her to stop and stopped until they had run her off the stage. Then a bunch of them ebgan talking among themselves. Said one: "Do you want to talk to me about more white acts than any other colored theater in New York City?" Then I left, leaving them, asking among themselves what they were. Pioneer Theater The Hendrick Sisters opened here and got by nicely. Johnson and Britton did Ross and Turner and other sister act, with her and Hayes got theirs with ease. The Brown Duo also got by nicely, but Miss Etta her girls cleaned up for the week's bill.

Jones and Gray, in their second week here, were a riot in a new act. Usual run of good pictures were a feature, the feat of course, "The Klu Klux Clan," was a novelty. Notes (By Slyvester Russell.) Frank Bush at the Grand Theater. Quite the heaviest white drawing card of the season was Frank Bush, the story teller, and his mimicry has lost none of its charm. Others on the bill were Gee, Rosenner and company., in "Inheritance," a good one-act comedy. Bolger Brothers very good popular banjoists, the Lumatic band, and the band the bill. The last half of last week had Marshall and Tribble, who held over; Sid Alger, in a good rough-edged farce; Pierce and Roslyn, buxom song birds, and Kartello Brothers, hoop rollers and juggling. The Grand orchestra was in top form. William H. Richardson at Bethel Con Although the Umbrian Glee Club quite outdone itself in harmony tones under the direction of Pedro T. Tinsley, and its new husband, the late Richard D. Occasionally included in Mr. Richardson, of Boston. It has been fully ten years since I heard him at his home and New England cities, and he still enjoys the rich music of the band. The Toreader song, from "Carmen," was taken with fustell retardancy rather than robust precision, but showed the richness of the music. He be praised for his work with the glee club, even if space will not permit a review. Miss Gertrude Jackson did as well as Maude Ucine-Hare had a good ear-in-waiting. Good Bill at the New Monogram. The Moores, in their favorite act, and Brown and Wallace, in splendid rainbonds, were novel features of the bill. Of the new acts, Susie Sinton was very popular, and her character work was pleasing. Kenneth made his first appearance, but I will have to defer his review until the next one. Dorsey has returned from Louisville, Ky., where he went to bury his mother. Criswell & Bailey at the Monogram. Ora Criswell and Laura Bailey certainly gave good account of themselves in a book about the war. Vaughn were also funny military comedy producers. W. S. Thompson, blackface comedian, gave a good course of talk and sang good songs, and the Two Repeats repeated one of their mournful acts. The States "A Ride from the Sea" was a feature Jason McCarthy wrote here at a matter of Friday, November 7. The Phoenix. "Broncho Billy's Secret" and "As a Father Spareth His Child" took well here.

The recent report that Edna Alexander had died in Europe appears to be true, according to word received by Mattel Wilkes' mother in Chicago. Lukie Johnson and Madell Thompson have joined hands and will hereafter be known as Lukie and Madell. The Candy Kids are at the Congress Cafe. THEATRICAL NOTES OF CINCINNATI, O. Big "doin' at the Pekin this week Two good acts hold the boards down, one of the strongest bills of the season. The curtain rises on that mysterious senior team. Benny and Sean, who shine sing like a star, but have nice shapes and costumes, and they fool the audience right up to the 'minute, when one of the beautiful dolls—what the men in masher's row work call them "pulls of doo"—bobble down do you think of that?" Another classy turn on the bill are Henderson and Henderson, the new act over this one, being the first time they played in the Queen City, and they scored on their opening. They had easy sailling from then on. Their songs are new and new, and they catchy. The act goes with a whirl. Harry, Glover, stage manager of the Harry, Glover, stage job again, after several weeks' illness. Miss Eliseo Johnson made a jump to Cleveland, O., for a week's engagement. Tomales is rehearsing another big occasion. Mr. Ed Gatither will remodel his beautiful cafe department if the new liquor license law is declared constitutional, and turn it into a first-class pool and billiard room will be pleased to meet his many friends. STATEMENT OF FACTS In Reference to the George Williams Benefit. In last week's issue there appeared a letter by Goldie, Crosby-Perrin, with whom George W. Williams makes his return to the public, and he's come to believe that he's money raised for the benefit had not been honestly handled. Goldie Crosby-Perrin's figures were not the very first of the year. He's been varied far from the truth in everything else it contained. In the first place, we landed 200 tickets to Goldie to sell in the first place, and he said at the end, "I would have netted $50 and three days before the benefit we proffered her a check for $25 in addition to the ticking of the cost. I think I'd be the expense that had to be been discounted we would turn over to her any money that was left, but that the $20 worth of ticking plus that charge would be a guaranteed from the U.S. S. to the U.S. S. and the U.S. S. $75 out of the benefit, whether it was a success or not. She refused the check, so he let her have an unlimited number of tickets which he sold to the public, and from the theater to the amount of $62.50, which amount was turned over to the committee, in addition to $39.95 se-pays. The U.S. S. has been raised to $100 of tickets on the street ruined the box of the receipts, which totaled only $19. The reserved seat sale was practically nothing to the public. The issue was turned them open for all who desired them. Everybody knows that a large free list is always present at a benefit. This is a very important issue because the benefit like a circus. One item alone was for $16.50 postage stamps. We mailed over 2,000 circular letters, which was a small amount of the address and which was which was on a larger scale than anything ever attempted for an entertainment in Chicago. I myself was a little more interested in the problem. The issue was only herself to blame for the fact that it benefited George the amount it did, instead of $75, which we offered her a one-time offer. It was all one-time failure that an affair of the kind could be run without expenses, and the following statement will explain itself. This is a very important statement, signed by Sid Perrin in the money had been turned over to him: I consider the amount turned over to me by the committee in charge of the and honest division. William to be going over the expense account in a careful manner, and am satisfied that there has been a straightforward and honest dissection of the case, so that was secured in behalf of said benefit. SIDNEY PERKIN, for G. Williams. Witness: TONY PERKIN, FOR COMMITTEE. So you can see by the above how ridiculous the case must take. Goldie Crosby-Perrin must seem any one acquainted with the facts. No mail was ever opened not addressed to me. I was not entered into the affair purely from a humanitarian standpoint, as did those who lent it the money. TONY LANGSTON, Cincago. UNIQUE THEATER, DETROIT MICH. Lillard and Lillard, Miss Louise Loston and Miss Lucy Shepard constitute one of the best bills of the season. Miss Loston is without a doubt the best singer that I have ever heard, and the best theater, Lillard and Lillard, in their up-to-date songs and tango dance, are a scream. Miss Shepard's illustrated songs are always old owl, are always trying to bring the best performers to the Unique Theater, where the S. R. O. is always at every performance. The Heiskel, president, James Norman, vice president, and J. B. Hutheins, treasurer, will give a banquet some time next month, in order that they may live up to their promise, which is one of the strongest clubs in the West. PROF. T. L. P. H. DAVIS AT THE COSMOS THEATER. The distinguished baritone, Prof. T. L. P. H. Davis, is singing this week at the Washington street. This is one of the Washington houses of the city, very much like a number of others at which Prof. Davis has sums and will be remembered that the influence of these houses are mostly cultured white people. The class of these patrons speaks highly of the music said of him, but none too much. He is a painstaking, cultured singer of excellent voice. Singing is his passion, which, together with ability and voice, makes him a master of the classes of songs, but prefers the classics and the deep sentimental. His talent is such that he is always in demand. Prof. Davis can be reached through T. L. P. H. Davis. GALVESTON, TEX., THEATRICALS The Alcazar is showing every night to large grounds. large crowds. Miss Laura Smith and Sam Russell are two women each and every night. In fact, they have a good show of nine people.

Every showgiver here certainly likes Harper's play, and he will be assisted by Lela Duson, Alma Hughes, Emma Joan Tanner for the Freman if you want to read, you must pay. Nufed. Double Haynes, better known as the Dicastic Women and the Mr. Manly and Miss Sisle, Cook, can certainly sing. Jolly Davis, who has been stage manager at the Lincoln, and Boone, stage manager at the Lincoln, will join City, to join Huntington's Mighty Minstrels. Actors of both houses send them to the Lincoln.

Give me a man with a grip in his hand, And a smile that illumines his face; Who'll look straight as a die, into your hand, And greet you with courtly grace. Whose face will glow as he says "hello Old man! I am certainly glad to see You look so swell, hope the folks are Now, that's the man for me. Give me a man built on an honest plan, Who has not made Self his creed; Who has time to spare and a crust to share. Witness whom he finds in need. Give me the one who respects his home, Loves his wife and family; Who will have a ftime, but can save a dime. Now, that's the man for me. Give me the man not afraid to say damn When the game's not played on the square; Who has grit to fight 'till he gets the rick. And knows that the deal is fair. One who never frowns when his luck is down, But save up his energy To win again by his might and main. Now, that's the man for me. Give me a man who places a ban On talk about ancestry; Who lives in the Now, by the sweat of his brow. Nor says what he used to be. Who's going to stand by his own right hand. Not boasting of pedigree: And risen. And risen. And risen. And that's the way he for me. STAGE NOTES. Taylor and Taylor, Charles and Flossie, doing good in Mobile, Ala., at the Pike theater.

Lawrence, General Manager IN THE FIELD OF SPORT. BY HAROLD C. MORTH. THE BASEBALL SITUATION. In the business will do well to hug hi Rube Foster's Team Expected on the Pacific Coast. Prospects for New Coastal Storms. (By Billy Lewis.) The managers of white baseball teams have their work well under way for next year's season. They become fairly a certainty in the results, the managers and the players are doing what they can to make most of the game and their opportunity, this time, who seem to think that under the present rules they are at a disadvantage, that is known as the Baseball Players' Fraternity recently met in New York. It framed up seventeen grievances for the fraternity's mission. Thinking what took place in the fraternity by the way of setting forth grievances will be interesting to those interested in the game. I give the fraternity a new in a New York dispatch of November 9: Of the first request, it says that when a player is given ten, such player will be permitted immediately to negotiate a new contract wherever he desires, but that at present he is not allowed to sign a contract, such player which he is playing. "We believe," the statement says, "that during that time he should be absolutely free to contract for Of the second request—that National Association players shall receive ten days notice before the contract begins—the statement argues that under this contract "a player is bound for life or so long as the magnate wants him, while the magnate is not bound for the player." Cites Two Cases. It cites that "Dusty" Rhoades and Jake's Gettmann were thrown out of jobs last summer without a moment's warning, and asks that a contract be made a contract—binding alike upon player and club owner. Of releases the statement contends that players have a right to know under what they are sent from one team to another. It says that often a player is sent to another team with no knowledge of the terms of his new contract or whether he has been sold outright or optionally. One request of the fraternity is that clubs furnish free to players their entire uniforms, and they are not to be required that the training expenses of players be paid by the club to which they belong from their homes to the training camps. It argues that inasmuch as a player reports for duty six weeks before the season starts and is not under salary, but meantime plays in exhibitors of "many cases as a profit to his employer," he should at least have all his expenses paid. Another request deals with the release of veteran players. The fraternity argues that when a player is reaching the end of his baseball career and is no longer wanted by his club, the player should be unhampered in his endeavour to do so and a position, and not sold under such agreement as "Murphy sold Mordecai Brown in Louisville a year ago." Ask Fine Notification. Of the request that a player be notified in writing of the imposition of a fine or his suspension, the statement says the player should be given a "qualified" manager's personal spite," and adds that "when a player's money is taken there should be a reason sufficiently valid to be placed in black and white." The statement also says that according to the statement, is in protest against sending a player to a minor league, the contention being that a player should be permitted "to stay as high in profession as he can and employment." Denial is made of the right of a club to send a man to a lower classification "to work for a team." The statement simply to strengthen some team it owes or because it can get a certain player for him, when there are other teams in the class, in which would be glad to get a player. The requests seem reasonable enough—that is to a layman. What the expert National Baseball Commission thinks remains to be seen. This is evident: the organization for self-protection. One could easily carry the discussion, at this point, right over on to that dangerous ground. The players are urged by many thoughtful persons, very often, that unions are a menace. And they can easily be thought that way in order to gain a point in order to gain a point. They are frequently judged by the demonstrations rather than by the demonstration's impact. The point is that the fraternity players are not complained to, some of them, as will be noted, justifiable enough. Perhaps if there were no fraternity, attention would be given to what seem to be baseball wrongs. Rube Foster's Team. The only new note in baseball among the recognized greater colored clubs is that the Chicago American Giants will like the seen in a Pacific coast league, as they were in the winter. I do not give this as the authority. It's the talk. The team will be remembered for its big success, winning the pennant, and also the admiration of the Western slope for its clever work. Beyond this note of Foster's team nothing of larger interest seems to be diring. One would like to think that the baseball situation among the colored players was improving, but there's not very much evidence on which to predict the assertion. Careful observation. I think, discloses the fact that the situation of the past season was somewhat improved over the one of the season before. It may be that next season will turn out better than the one just closed. If so, one could well conclude that progress is certain, steady, even if very slow. When managers are confident that such following season means more prosperty to their clubs, I guess the will show greater skills of activity all along in season and out of season.

I see in your sporting column that Little the Arthur Steigle, of Dayton, wants to box me or any other lightweight or weightlifting around. He wants to be a well-well. I should worry about that. Mr. Steigle could very well afford to back up his "def," as he is almost a middleweight. He weighs almost 180 pounds.

DINNER GIVEN FOR WORLD'S CHAMP PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—Under leadership of Mayor Blankenburg, Philadelphia and of every shade of political belief and of many different walks in life, united the night of October 26 in a testimonial dinner to the Athletics, winners of the world's baseball championship. Governor Tener, President Hempstead of the New York National League Club, President Baker of the Philadelphia Nationals, former Mayor Reyburn and other speakers expressed their admission to the sportsmanship displayed by Connie Mack and the players of the Philadelphia American League team. Nineteen of the twenty-five players who shared in the winners' portion of the series with the New York Giants were present. The absentees were Coombs, who is still confined to his bed; Houck, Orr and Daley, who are on the Pacific coast; Lavan, who is studying at the University of Michigan, and Pitcher Shawkey. Preceded by the police band and escorted by a squad of mounted police, the players rode in automobiles from the hall park to the center of the city. At the banquet hall they were greeted by nearly a hundred dinners. MATTY IS KING AT CROSSING BATTERS Johnny Evers Says "Big Six" Always Delivers Batter the Unexpected. Christy Mathewson is king of all pitchers when it comes to crossing the batters. Mordecai Brown came to be "Six"去 on through the ages as master. Johnny Evers, a crafty batter himself, has the highest respect for Christy, the player he most admired the same way to me twice all season," remarked Evers. "He might start out by dinking a little on the inside, another on the outside, some across with a pitching arm, some across the plate while I was waiting fro something else. I went up Christy was liable to start out with a fadeaway, dink a slow one on the inside, follow with a fast one and then another fadeaway. Consequently you never could be prepared to hit a pitch, but exactly what you can't hit and take advantage of said fact." Whether Matty is the same to-day as he does he does to-day. Records show he used to fan from two to three more men during a game on the average he does to-day. Then he pitches more carefully and scientifically. Evers, for one, insists Christy is fully as good as he was five years ago. Other ever tell you the same thing. He is When Mathewson had all his stuff on the ball he was a whirwind. He might have been a bit nervous. Johnson, but he certainly did have the old zip. He tells how Matty used to cross the batters then. "He would work the corners a couple of times and then shoot a fast one across, which left you handcuffed. You didn't have a chance to get through." SMITH IS GIVEN DECISION OVER LANGFORD IN BOSTON Winner Leads in Early Rounds, but Tires Near Finish - Referee's Action Proves Surprise - Spectators Express Action After Showing in Last Rounds. BOSTON. Mass—Gunbafal Smith, of Smith, Mass., and Sum Langford, of Boston, at the end of a twelve-round bout here Tuesday night. Smith led clearly during the early carrion, but he led to Langford's left to Langford's head and body while the Boston Negro made no serious attempt to score. Smith, the California heavyweight, grew weary and Langford assumed the aggressive, sending left and right to the body of Smith at short range, while the Langford's head, unsuccessfully, fell off. So many and so numerous were Langford, the close rounds that many of the spectators expressed surprise at the decision of Referee Dick Flemming. Langford at the start jabbed away with his left, supplying nearly all the action. Langford did not seem to be bothered by the crowd, but without great effort and standing up under others without defense. Occasionally he interjected a right turn by Smith's left, the seventh turn he make any apparent attempt to maintain the battle. Then Langford at once started a short range light which, in turn, started a longer range light, opening Smith's cheek under the left eye. Smith Seems Fatigued. Smith, by reputation a strong right-hand fighter, relied on his left jabs all throughout. Several attempts to land his jabs were successful, but his jabs were continuous. Smith's cheek bled freely as the sight neared the end, the blood getting into his veins. He was deprived of peared fatigued, and hung on to his opponent, while Langford, although apparently carrying more, was at any of the jabs, although appeared the stronger. Langford escaped unmarked. JOHNSON IS KING OF STRIKE-OUT PITCHERS Mighty Walter Should Reach the 1,500 Mark Next Season—Has Fanned the 1,458. It is a little bit more to print stories about what will happen in baseball next year, but one of the things that is pretty sure will happen is that he will then be the 1,500 mark in in-game strikes—unless he breaks his priceless arm or decides to abandon the Chalmers car for being the most valuable player in the American League last season has, entered the 1,500 mark, 1,458 victims. No other major THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER league hurrier has, in the seven consecutive seasons from 1907 to 1913, amassed this total of whiff exploits—in fact, only three other men have fanned over 1,000 runs in length of time. These three are Ed Walsh, Napucker and Christy Mathewson. Big Ed Walsh, the spitball star of the White Sox, has been Johnson's closest friend, and the most important of the majors. The Chicago has compiled 1,406 of his to take the whiff route to the playoffs, and the temporary of the illustrious Washingtonian. Walsh twirled only in sixteen games last season, but from 1907 to 1913, he played in more than 400 battles than the renowned Kansasan. Christy Mathewson has fanned 1,137 men in the last seven campaigns and has played in 1,137 games. Mack's peerless portside, almost reached the 1,000 mark in that time, 997 of his battles have been played, and Chief Bender named 864 victims. Howard Cannitz, 804; Jack Coombs, 784; Leon Ames, 748; George Mullin, 704; Harry White, 628; Ed Reubel, 603, and George Wiltse, 580. The number of strike-outs per game from 1907 to 1913, inclusive, has been 5.41. Ed Walsh's figures being 4.38 and Chief Bender's 4.06. Only two of the battles have been more than 200 strike-outs per campain, the pair being Johnson and Walsh. The former's 201, ranking third on this basis is Christy Mathewson, with 162. Walsh has been the busiest toiler from 1907 to 1913, inclusive, with "Big Six" next in RITCHIE REMOVES DOUBT BY VICTORY OVER CROSS Champion Has Wide Margin in Hard Fought At-Shoes. He Is 15-11-14 NEW YORK.—Any doubts that may have existed in the minds of New Yorker fight fans that Willie Ritchie, lightweight champion, is worthy to rank with the best in the Queensbury game are set to run the first result. The result of the round battle recently with Leach Cross, fitchie won all the way, but was forced to put up a hard fight. In the first round Ritchie started slow, and the honours were with the East Side fighters. He made his best showing in the last two rounds of whirlwind battling, during which he landed some terrific punches against the face and body of Cross. The fight was perhaps the bloodiest event staged in New York, one in which both men were covered with blood from the waist down from the fourth roundson, and one so fast and furious that the crowd was on its feet yelling like mad-melt chillies every moment and the third of the first and seventh rounds were even. The second, fifth and eighth went to Cross, while Ritchie won out in the third, fourth, sixth, ninth and tenth. Ritchie scores a clean-knockdown in the third, row for the first round and follow with another for the count of three. In this third round Ritchie sent Cross to the mat and he had barely got to his feet when the champion drove him against the ropes and sent him to the mat and a complying both tricks with the fliers. Cross's law. To many it looked as though Cross, in going to the mat, was executing a bit of his famous stalling. The smashes Ritchie sent against his rival's jaw looked like they were powerful enough to fell an ox. Cross, however, showed wonderful recuperative powers after his second knockdown, and rushed Ritchie with the fury of a madman. In the fifth Cross raised a bump on Ritchie's head and half closed one of his eyes, sending the blood gushing from Ritchie's mouth and nose, and backed him against the ropes repeatedly. The East Side contingent implored Cross to land the blo wthat would have brought the championship to New York, but Cross lacked the Morpheus wallop. Both men began the final round as badly spattered up as any men that ever swapped punches, but each made a game, desperate effort, swinging every ounce of their strength into play. For half the round it seemed an eve naffair, but Ritchie's endurance powers won the round and the fight for him. WHAT'S DOING IN THE SPORTING LINE. Sporting news of importance will be gladly accepted for these columns. Jack Watts is willing to meet scrapers from 133 to 158. Address 900 North First street, Terre Haute, Ind. Special sport dope of all descriptions will be served up in the bigger and better Christmas issue of The Freeman. Just the time to get in a big mention of yourself. Write in for information. Jim Flynn, the Pablo heavyweight, who was knocked out in his last fight by the New York Knicks, has had a good rest, and he is ready to meet Smith or some of the other big fellows within three weeks. Johnny Kibane, the featherweight champion, is no longer able to do the featherweight limit, 122 pounds at the age of 26. He will meet Johnny Dundee at 126 pounds, weigh in at the ring side, by Tom McCarey, but, despite this big weight, he absolutely refused to accept. CHICAGO—Jess Willard started training in his new campaign for the white belt in a fight with the engagement with George Rodel, at Milwaukee. Following the Rodel fight, Willard plans to take on at least two more matches with Carl Morris in New York on December 2. Packey McFarlane has decided to do considerable fighting this winter. He has signed a six-game contract, two games left, for Johnny Alberts, the promising welterweight of Elizabeth, N. J., for ten rounds. Waterbury, N.J., has second scramble with Harry Brewer, of City, at Windsor, Canada, on November 26. Jack Dillon and his manager, Jimmy Walters, are now in Butte, Mt., where on Thanksgiving day, Dillon will meet the rookies in a battle scheduled for twenty rounds, Bob Stoklin, Dillon's trainer, declares that Jack will have a hard fight on hand, the rookies has beaten the best middleweight where he is recognized as a champion. NEW YORK—Wille Ritchie vs. Harlem Tommy Murphy, at San Francisco, December 5. This match was clinched. Dere Saturni, the manager of the lightweight champion, graphed to James W. Coffroth, at San Francisco, formally accepting an offer for both. The match was made without regard to the outcome of Ritchie's battle with Leach Cross. Sam Murbarrier, in explaining the defeat of Gus Christie at the hands of Jack Dillon, at Milwaukee, says that Dillon was not more than 163 pounds. Dillon caught Gus a terrific swing in the first second. This was seconds. This dazed Gus so much that he fought seven rounds without getting his head clear. A club here wants the best of the best, and the better of his manager, the bad of the last two rounds and was getting back on his stride at the final bell. The next he must be at equal weights, says Murbarrier. ANSWER FOR YOUNG LOWERY- KID HOY ICON INDIAN- APOLIS WEST BADEN, Ind.-Kid Hoy, the colored boxer, will likely visit Indianapolis with bouts with all of the big guns. If there is any club ready to stage a contest, Young Lowery, the local pro of Indianapolis, stating that I refused to box him when in Buffalo, N. Y. I honestly want to corral champion and attend strictly to boxing for my living, and not trying to be a working fighter and restaurant porter. I would like to be a boxer. So, to be in line to meet me, Young Lowery, I trust you are after a losers' boxer. I trust you will have to post an appearance forfelt and a little side money to go to the winner, and secure a club which thinks well of you. I will realize it and I a good boxer, but I won't say I have scared all the colored boxers in the world, but I can honestly say I have a first-class boxer and I have been in retirement for a year on account of the line drawn in New York State. By boxing in the East the clubs have a first-class boxer and can be billed as a headliner. I started boxing at Indianapolis, Ind., some ten years ago. While I was in Indianapolis money for services, which they hand out to the novice boxer. A young boxer will soon get deeply interested in affairs and then set into the good money. tion is at risk, I must ask a reasonable purse for my services to box good men. Still, not underestimating Young Lowery, he will have to prove the public he is in line to meet the��dilling. Insanity as an a big middleweight, boxers crying for a bout with me is junk, as I see they are just after a loser's end. Mr. Lowery, I will advise you to stay about the East. You are not anxious to box me. The content of the title of hold are not having high character, "Christy Williams, of Dayton, O., Hock Bones, of Memphis, Tenn.; Tommy Coleman, of Philadelphia, Pa.; Jack Hannable, star of Indianapolis, Ind.; Tommy Harris, of California, and a few other boys I have not had a chance to box on the same time he followed club promoters of being unable to get the houses, and at times these clever hard-hitting middleweights are asking for a guarantee for their services, which is a just business proposition and I must have a much way of doing, as I fixed to keep going and still move interest in the affairs of other local boxers, as I am able to teach them the tricks and fine points of the boxing game. KID HOY. World's Champion Colored Middleweight Boxer Caterers Club, 715 Harrison St., Fort Wayne, Ind. Well-Known Coach Declares Ball Play Knows Little About Spiring— Says Men Shall Easily Steal Second If Ordinary Lead Is Founded SAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-Boyd Comstock, the former college coach, one-time champion of the heavyweight championship intercollegiate heavyweight champion, who is now employed as a coach of the University of California track team, assists with training players fast. It is generally believed that speed is a natural gift, but Comstock thinks it is merely a mechanical proposition and that a coach can be taught to run fifty yards at high speed. It is what Comstock says on the subject. He have studied carefully the players on the Los Angeles and Sacramento teams, and that he can teach the man of the eighteen playing on the two teams knows how to run. The speed of every man in the league could be increased so that his percentage of safe at first base would increase 40 per cent. "By adopting proper methods the speed of every man could be increased to a max." Where Few Steps Count. "I further notice that time after time the runner and the ball arrive at first and then half the plays at first are what might be termed close plays. If the speed of the runner were mechanically increased, the percentage of ours would be deferred from our per cent." Of the runners whose styles in locomotion I have examined, Howard of Los Angeles and Wotell are the best, and Bliss of Sacramento and Wotell are their bodies into the game at all. Howard has the right action wits his feet, but is retarded by the use of his arms and part of his body, which he holds stiff. "Wotell runs nearly in correct form. Bliss is something awful," a professional coach notices is that the men run better when jogging along than they do at top speed. "If they want to faint of action that they rather make up, they need to speed up, however, they immediately bring into play their faults of action that they rather make up." "One place that the faults of the base runners are glaringly apparent is when they are running on two or three yards of first base it is absurd to think that any runner should not be able to beat out the throw from behind. If they fail to do so they that they get a wrong start. They lose time at the get-away. Instead of getting in full stride at once, they must run at a top speed for at least three strides. They start with their arms at their sides, hanging limply like fish, instead of using their arms to push-off. So much for the base runners. He's Rambling Here. "I have found by experiment that the average high fly takes eight seconds from the crack of the bat until it touches the ground. If the ball were to land there would be no such thing as a home run. Any outfielder should be able to cover the whole section of his part of the outfield in two-thirds that time. A center fielder should be able to run a running man should be able to catch any foul ball outside the right-field foul line. Think that over. Most of the doctrine of maximum efficiency of baseball would be to make the outfield fly an impossible hit; but the advantage of the right-field running possibilities by increasing the advantage of the base runner over the prowess of the infielder. The fielding averages of infielder infenders would take a fixed slum. EMANCIPATION CELEBRATION. New York Exposition Embraced Many Notable Features in Way of Progress—Opened Under Fine Auspices. NEW YORK—With beautiful decorations and by the help of its compulsory board of the New Amsterdam Historical Association, the New York Emancipation Proclamation Exposition opened auspiciously in the Twelfth Regiment Armory on Wednesday, October 22.

To the Editor of The Freeman: I concurring your paper: August 20 I am coming to the paper is not another paper that I ever come in contact with the Freeman. I never knew my mind. I could not for one moment believe that my fellow-men in that part of the world were the great work. We as a whole know nothing of the race. Some of us may be pa- sioned in our work. Some of our race. I am a member of the Na- tional Baptist Church, of which Dr. H. A. Boyde, Nashville, Tenn., is chief. I also belong to the G. U. O. of F. Loyal Order of Ancient Shepherds. But, sir, still we haven't got the real teaching. That's why to-day we are far behind. Alas! there are hundreds of us who would be too glad if some one would volunteer to come down and give us a great lecture. What about you, Mr. Editor? Are you not coming over to see the great gigantic work? Can't somebody speak to the Booker? Washington for us? We need you help. We keep all your telligent men at home, and not send them out to be the world's machinery? We are West Indians, but we can make just as good citizens and professional business men and women as any one else. We can remember when Dr. Boyde came here some years ago. He told us to "let down your bucket where you are." It was one of the most stirring addresses we ever heard. Since then, who else? Nobody.

WEBB'S STATE MENT OF HIS BIBLICAL PIC- TURE OF JESUS AS "A BLACK MAN." After preaching and lecturing on special occasions in the city of Chicago and other cities, the Jesus was a black man minister and had a hair color history, and also defeated one of the most learned and informed biblical white ministers in the northeast of the United States, and in Washington, D.C., Wash., in a debate that the same was true according to biblical history, the victory from the said debate aroused the minister, who was Jesus was a black man (which I did), believing that the book would be somewhat a laurel of honor to my race, especially in America, where I am living in America, who are opposed and deprived of their living rights on account of their Hamite blood, hair and color; and who work about Jesus being related to the black race by blood. I now present to the world a picture of Jesus at His second coming, and will have woolly hair like a typical black man when He comes to judge the world. In preparing to lecture on this picture, throwback the country.

For the benefit of the whole people we believe that the Perkins Cream Foot Soap company must be made to be really benefited as to a health proposition than any other one thing. When your feet are wrong, you need to be treated with correct wrong. Foot troubles not only ruin one's disposition and temperament, but the daily pain from foot troubles, can perplex and irritate them, they really are. Nothing so retards the growth of children and causes older people to become fatigued, thus being a big burden on their health. Healthy children may be striving, as does foot trouble. No man can become a soldier without a foot. No man can become a healthy foot. This fact alone is evidence that the greatest part of endurance rests entirely on the foot and a graduate pharmacist, have found and have put on the market a preparation that undoubtedly cures permanently the greater per cent. of all foot troubles. The Freeman will issue the largest Christmas issue ever issued this year. Out December JUDGE KAVANAUGH BANQUETED BY COLORED DOCTORS OF CHICAGO.
