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.

"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.

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.
Mrs. Elwood C. Knox Here.
Mrs. Elwood C. Knox, of Indianapolis, Ind., wife of the managing editor of The Freeman, is in the city, the guest of her husband, and the owner of her born street. On Sunday she was the guest of Mrs. Mary Blackburn, 3412 Wabash avenue. On Monday she was the guest of Mrs. Mary Brown, 5523 Wabash avenue. A delightful dinner was served. Mrs. Knox and Mrs. Cadozoe were schoolmates, and it was a pleasure to hear them tell of their young-age friends. Mrs. Knox was a week later her home. Mrs. Knox was accompanied by Mrs. Cora Jackson.
Billiard Tournament.
The first billiard tournament of the season was held on Monday night at the C. F. Cattin v. Devinwick Hotel. In the first series C. F. Cattin made 100 points to George Holt's 95 and in the second Clinton Jones v. Devinwick Hotel. In the first eight was a tie. The teams will play Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, at 10:30 a.m. Mr. William Adams will be offeree.
The Star Theater.
The Star Theater is the name of the newly painted picture house at 3822-55 St. Charles forship of Mr. W. H. Riley. For more than a week painters and decorators have been there to make this the prettiest place in the city, more than accomplished their aims. Located right in the heart of the "black belt" of the city, the students and a popular gentleman as manager, it will become the Mecca on the South Side for those who like the "movie stay, and the American people are wild about them, and the management has done everything possible to meet their demand. There will be a competition, multiple prizes.
Umbrian Glee Club
The sixth annual concert of the Umbrian Glee Club was given on Monday night at Bethel A. M. E. Church. The president, the host, Mr. Cornelius W. Mim, Miss Caitlin J. Wm. H. Richardson were the principal artists. Miss Hare, as a pianist, did some very fine work, which received genial praise. The baritone singing was warmly recored. The club rendered several numbers most pleasingly, and the concert was a musical experience. Pedro Timley was the director. Miss Gertrude Jackson was the accompanist.
Dave Peyton's Orchestra
Prof. Dave Peyton and his orchestra have taken the South Side. They play every afternoon at the dancing class, before large crowds. He also plays for the Pompeii.
Why Not Editor Abbott?
The Freeman and its thousands of readers of the Second Ward rise to place behind him the first to be nominated of Mr. R. S. Abbott, editor of the Christian Defender, for alderman of the Second Ward. The press of the city behind him nominated and elected, and many jobs colored men and women. Why not all forces center on Abbott, the editor, publisher and race lover? It's time now to put the fence up just just over the fence. Race men, get busy.
Rube Foster Returns.
Rube Foster, manager of the American
Airlines Group, will be extended visit to New York on business

There was a grand departure the day when the train pulled out.
Miss Maude Cuney Hare was given a reception last Sunday at the home of Sam Evans.
The eight literary clubs of the city that are entered in the coming contest are making one of the greatest struggles in the history of literature to secure the prizes at the coming fourth annual essay contest at Quinn Chapel, on December 14, at 3 o'clock. This contest is open only in interest, but in attendance. The prizes are a diamond lavilier, with a diamond setting, to the lady, and a solid diamond setting, to the gentleman.

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.

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.
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.

Has it never occurred to you that the so-called hair growers, chiefly vaseline, have done the race more harm than good? Why? Because vaseline ranks poison to most scalps, and as it is the cheapest basis to be had it forms the biggest part of the productions thereby causing the skin to be dry and the hair to break for lack of nutrition.
Thomas' Magic Grower is the only non-vaseline preparation on the market sold with a money-back guarantee to cure dandruff, eczema and falling hair even cover bald spots in most cases.
Mme. Alice H. Thomas-Mason is the manufacturer and the only colored woman with a college education who studied medicine in order to put the business on the highest possible plane. This preparation has been on the market for ten years and appeals to the intelligent reader who has tried all the cheap productions without success and knows that no one thing will reach every case. Pevers, rheumatism, stomach trouble and female disorders require different treatment.

"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. Its properties are so remarkable that not only does it grow hair, but also improves the quality of existing hair. it is gray or fading it will frequently restore it to its natural color within two or three months.
No longer argument can be used in its favor, the people who have tried almost every known thing for promoting hair growth, such as tonics, pomades, etc., with no tangible results, have found that "Gloss-O" only, will do what other things are said to do—grow hair.

It is thought that the proposed Ne-
gro 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, re-
gardless of the fact that they officer a
Negro regiment.

terestingly of the educational situa.

cultural phase. It concedes that the
Negroes own an appreciable per cent.
of the land and that they are increas-
ing thelr holdings yearly. ‘The publi
cation rather than being alarmed at

‘The tone of the comment is indicative
of friendship between the races, of
help and support in whatever legit

According to report one John Rich-
ard 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 Eng-
Jand, 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
aman. He has a white wife, yet both
are entertained by the cream of Eng-
lish society and nobility. He educat-
ed 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 bo
rough, 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 hav:
{ng 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 circum
stances it is not the wisest thing to
crow lustily over what seems an ad
yantage over our own country. If we
must make comparison we should do
so when 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 sum:

say much by way of solving the race
problem. We congratulate the report
ed Negro mayor as an individual, see
ing but very little racial significance
in his selection.
Some one recently observed that
“While the colored race this year is
celebrating the fiftieth anniversary o
the emancipation, this old home o}
Douglass, who contributed so mucl
to bring about that emancipation, i:
falling into decay, and in grave danger
of passing out of the hands of the
race by the foreclosure of the mort
gage.”
Ralph W. Tyler, who is making an
effort to save the home said that “i
would be a sad reflection upon his
race if, after 50 years of freedom, i
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 his
torical spots in Washington.”
‘We insist once more that if thte
management works, having anything
like a system, the necessary fund:
will be forthcoming. Popular sub
seription will do it.
The great big government should
overlook the color question as much
as it 18 possible to do so. We find
heads of firms very often, refusing to
see the color question among the em-
ployes. 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 btother would sit
still further back than he does. In
dustrial consideration calls for a halt;
civil consideration calls for a halt. It
not, where will it all end? The at
thorities at Washington should be as
thoughtful as the heads of business
concerns, who are ever faced with the
race question. Something is due the
Negroes—something—the motives for
selfrespect should remain as nearly
as possible. Physical nor _psychial
forces from the outside driving per
sons to self-destruction is not the
scheme that holds man true to the
ends of his earthly being.
GOVERNOR RALSTON DESIG.
| NATES DAY FOR THANKS.
GIVING.
Governor Samuel M. Ralston has, s¢
far as Indiana is concerned, joined
President Woodrow Wilson in desig
nating Thursday, November 27, 1913
as a day of thanksgiving. The Gover
nor briefly recites the causes givini
rise to tthe observation, and in a way
calculated to carry conviction to the
hearts of those who read what he has
to say and understand it aright.
In part Indiana’s chief executive
said ag follows, as a sort of preamble
‘and grand, to his more specific utter
ance of reasons for thankfulness:
“It is important that on this day we
consider in some measure the thing:
that will serve the welfare of the indi
vidual and thte public and that w
give voice to the thought that he whe
does not discharge his citizenly dut
ies is, regardless of his station in life
‘a charge upon—not a support to—so
ciety. We should emphasize the fac
that prudence, industry and econom;
are essential to a well-rounded-ou
citizenship, We should plead for ths
cultivation of thrift and the avoldanc:
© fthe dangers of popular extrava
gance. This we should do since th
citizen, who lives beyond his mean!
runs counter to the law of norma
living and when he ceases to live sim
ply, he ceases to think sanely.”
Governor Ralston’s foresight an
judgment had much to do with bring
ing peace between the street car com
pany and its striking employes. On
can readily see that the Governor 4
profoundly thankful for the happy 80
lution of the difficulties, when he says:
“Let us not fail to thank God, ont 0
full hearté, that a long step has beer
taken quite recently in our beloves
State toward securing peace and jus
tice in industrial centers through th
arbitrament of reason, thus preferring
the striking of palms to the strikin
of bludgeons.
‘And may we not pray blindly whe
we ask, with our faces to the stars
that the divinity in man may, at n¢
distant day, impel an affectionate anc
indissoluble union between the «tw«
indispensable factors in the world’
progress—Capital and Labor.”
PROGRESS OF THE NEGRO.
‘The Indianapolis News commenting
on the favorable mention by 2 south
ern publication of the first annual con
vention of the Negro Organization So
ciety recently held in Richmond, Va.
recently had the following to say
“Progress of the Negro” is becoming
a familiar sentence. Certainly at nc
time is the attainment that it repre
sents greater or the evidence of i
plainer. In Richmond, the frst an
nual convention of the’ Negro Organi
zation Society has just been held. De
cidedly as valuable a contribution tc
it as any was the leading editorial of

We should say that, in the face of
all the material proofs of the progres:

er is the testimony of this spirit. Well
ma ythe Times-Dispatch say that the
task of teaching co-operation between
the races has just begun when it can
give testimony of such deep apprecia
tion and earnest participation as it
gave. It went on to compilment Book
er Washington, who, born a slave, ir
himself had shown ‘the Negro’s, toil:
some, fruitful, upward journey; “whe
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 t¢
more schoolhouses and pointed to the
fact that Virginia was thte first state
to have a supervisor of rural colored
schools. But the Virginia Negro is do
ing more than. this; he is building
churches as well as schools; has 300,

We are thankful that we are part of
the United States of America, the
grandest political, social, commercial
‘and industrial development of the hu-
man kind. ‘This appears as the be-
ginning of a great’ burlesque, but
when Wwe stop to think, to wisely con-
sider what we are, from where we
came, we may well conclude that the
assertion is reasonable enough. It is
hot a too gtevious thought to think
that we suffered for above two centur-
jes if we may also think that it was
the plan of our civil redemption. Ad-
mittedly, at times, we, as a race, are
displeased because we are not permit:
ted to toe the line with others., \As
compared with these we are at a dis-
advantage. But these more fayored
ones are not the “units” of measure-
ment for comparison. They are those
that were born unde rthe same “"un-
Iueky” ‘stars, who saw similar hard-
ships, 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
Inuich from the sloukh of despond. As
Inch 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 lag in the, arrears
of any inan, but it is divine if we are
thankful that we so nearly parallel
nen in thelr great and glorious latter
day achievements.
We are thankful that we are practi
cally masters of our own fate, civil, po-
Iitieal, religious or otherwise, Our
scheme of government permits the Ne-
gro Tace, any race whatsoever. to
carve out an empire for themselves,
We have a Boley, a Negro city; we
have a Mound Rayou, a Negro city;
we have other localities where Ne-
groes may legislate, reign, govern
without let ot hindrance. If we are
hampered and confined in great white
communities {tis because we elect to
stay there and be thus hampered and
confined.
We are thankful for the tide of pros
perity 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 ad
mit us to thet rtables, seo to it that
our own lacks in nothing excepting
their society. We are thankful for the
fifty years of freedom and progress,
made so bya people jointly North,
South, Bast and West—the concert of
‘American “nations.”
We are thankful for the talent of
our young people, the prudence and
wisdom of the older ones. We are
thankful for the scholarship attained
and that pirsued—the spirit of pur
Suit, We are thankful for the politi
cal independence, for the sanity of our

physicians, lawyers and the patient

We are thankful for our merchants

GOSSIP OF THE STAGE
(By Salem Tutt Whitney.)
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.

As years roll on she works with more case and becomes more charming and beautiful. She was a riot in the 1960s, and she is still and all agents are ever ready to book the act if she but had some open time. Her wardrobe is par-excellent, she having gowns for her new act, which she is now rehearsing and has an order in for her special scenery, which consists of three sets of dresses. Critics claim that this will be the greatest attempt ever made in this special line of work. Queen Dora also carries a set of dresses that are complete. It will also necessitate the employment of two electricians. Queen Dora is prepossessing and is always abreast of the times.

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.
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.

We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak manhood, falling memory and manhood, sickness and drips, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men their own homes—that any additional man who wishes to regain his manly spirit must be医治—that we think quietly, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the precondition free of charge, in a plain, or ordinary envelope to any man who will write us for it.
This prescription comes from a physician who has made it known to me, and we have confirmed it is the surmounting combination for the cure of manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
We think we owe it to our fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that and anywhere who is weak and discouraged drumming himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what we believe is the acting restorative, upbuilding, SPOTTING and so cure himself at home quietly and justly. Just drop us a line like this: Remedy Co., $831 Luck Building, Inc. Mich., and will you send a will you send an ordinary envelope, free of charge.

Mr. Steigle could very well afford to back up his "def," as he is almost a middleweight. He weighs almost 180 pounds. He is stood by who read the Freeman that I am in the featherweight class, and I am open to box any man in the world. I will be glad to box some one at the Dayton Club any time terms are agreed upon. I am going to box in Pittsburgh, Pa., soon and in Illinois, I can be reached through the Internet.
DINNER GIVEN FOR
WORLD'S CHAMP
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

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.

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

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-

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.
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.

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.

WHY WORRY ABOUT THE HIGH COST OF LIVING?
ELDER JAMES M. 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.

TOO MUCH. OFOUR NERVE ENERGY WASTED.
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.
