Dr. Booker T. Washington has issued a comprehensive statement, in which is shown the encouraging fact that for the first time in the history of the United States with October 21, lynchings has been reduced by four, as compared with the number happening during the same period of the previous year. In the present year, says Dr. Washington, "there had been twenty-four lynchings. At the end of ten months, November 1, there had been forty-five lynchings. At the end of the present year, had been forty-nine lynchings of Negroes." Dr. Washington points out the silent truth also that few of the cases were women, and even these few were summarily punished on doubtful evidence. Most of the lynchings were for alleged murder, burglary, assisting criminals to commit a crime, and a cessation of a petty character, "A reduction in the number of lynchings by four, though small, means something in the Way of higher civilization." concludes the report, and thoughtful analysis of the situation. Five Supreme Court Justices Attend A funeral of a Fithful Colored It was a graceful and merited tribute to the fidelity and long service of Mr. Archibald Lewis that five justices of the Supreme Court appointed him the general last Saturday. They were Chief Justice Howard Douglas White, Justice Willis Vandeverate, John Wendell Holmes, and Wendell Holmes. The exercises took place at the home of Mr. Lewis, 428 M street Northwest, and the people who come to honor the deceased far exceeded the number of people remained throughout the services, mingling freely with the host of friends who passed in and out to pay their respects to the word of condolence to the bereaved family. Mr. Lewis had been connected with the Supreme Court as official rober and genging attendant for sixty-years, having been born in 1849 during the incumbency of Chief Justice Roger B. Taney. He had an enviable record for efficiency and idleness, and all of the long justice cases he was involved in was one the pillars of St. Lukes's Protestant Episcopal church. He was freed long before the beginning of the "Arcle Lewis was a man of great character," said Justice Vandeventer. He had a wonderful disposition and endured the trials he faced by his unfailling courtesy and kindness of heart. He was one of the best-formed men I have ever met and possessed historical facts that was little short of marvelous. He filled his place at the court up to a few days ago, and his memory was unbroken. And as it was unexpected, Such men as Archie Lewis are a credit to the nation, in well as to his race. He was faithful to his trust. He will not soon be forfeited. "Silence" Is the Mu-So-Lit Club's Answer The officers of the Mu-So-Lit Club, the "back" social and literary organization of the capital say the death will not advertise the venomous attack made upon in the last issue of the weekly scavenger by answering or commending the false assertions given out through its "editorial" and "news" columns. The sheet in question has no circulation outside of Washington, and if no attention is given to the situation in the opinion of the officers no one in the States will know anything about it. He says it is foolish for gentlemen to conspire against the mischief-maker, whose weapons are mud and who thrives on strife. The alleged "editor" is said to be sore because he has been involved in the organization of scholars and musicians. The members are saying he would not even be tolerated for a single night as a visitor. "Hence these teams." Mrs. Helen A. Cook Passas Away. Mrs. Helen A. Cook, widow of the late John F. Cook, some colleague of the Cook family, took her home on 16th street. She had been ill for a long time and her demise was unexpected. A wealthy woman in District of Columbia. The Cook estate has been considered to be worth not less than a quarter of the Cooks have been the only colored family living on the fashionable Avenue of the Presidents, as 16th street is the only street interested in Negro organizations and charity work and was a woman of kindly heart and broad sympathies.

The second book is a history of the Negro race in America, with notes and comments, by Prof. John Wesley Cromwell, a professor of African-American vocate, and for many years a teacher in the public schools of this city. He is now principal of the Alexander Cromwell at the University of these new books will be valuable additions to the bibliography on race progress. A "Square-Toed" Decision Wanted. Will the United States Supreme Court utter a fair and square decision on the "grandfather clause" cases before it, or demand them at mechanicality in days after the decision, as that most discussed in colored cases here just square-ted decision cases, adverse to a square-ted decision case to be preferred by the thoughtful ones rather than an evasion that adds to the injustice of the black man in this country. The colored people are anxious that they will down a decision that they may know just where they are now. Washingtonian tersely put a few days away from the highest tribunal in the land whether or not the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments mean what their lawyers say. No Excuse for "Whipping Post" in Delaware. The strong article sent out to the nation by Col. W. D. Johnson, formerly editor of the Kennett Standard, pointers the nation to the hardiness whipping post, as exemplified in the State of Delaware, is attracting serious attention in the highest official and legislative bards of offenders is a relic of the dark ages and is not calculated to improve the condition of society in this country. The people should rise up and this famous statute from its books, or Congress should find some way of reaching the evil through a federal law. Colonel W. D. Johnson, the most large and large personal influence to this worthy cause. There is absolutely no excuse for a whipping post in Delaware or anywhere else in progressive America. Negroes to Try for Postmasterships. It is said that a bunch of Negro post-masters may grow out of the new system and compete with the competitive civil service examination, in which the best man is supposed to win the plum, regardless of race, color, creed and education. Negroes educated colored men North and South to enter the examinations and take their chances with all other citizens. If the principle of race is not doubt that some Negroes will be able to "get by." Timely Topics Tersely Treated. If you see it in the Bee, it isn't so!

Chicago, IL, November 27. Judge Marcus A. Kavanaugh, Judge W. O. Brown, Dr. Charles A. Bentley, Mr. Hallahan, a member of the Association for the Protection of Colored People, Editor R. S. Abbott, Col. Julius F. Taylor and Editor S. B. Turner and Mrs. Ida Wells-Barnett, Hon. George W. Ellis and a host of others have been untiring in speaking out against race segregation in Washington, which is in striking contrast to the silence of other erstwhile race leaders, who have since become dumb through greed of gain. Now comes the staid old Chicago Tribune, unable longer to hold its silence, and voices a vigorous protest against the glaring discriminations which threaten the spirit of democracy in America. The administration, which, prior to its assumption of office, indulged in so many futuristic utterances about freedom, is held up to public condemnation for its false and hypocritical attitude. An attitude which sits silently by while ten million American citizens are suppressed and demoralized on this, the fiftieth anniversary of their freedom. The editor has no further comment. Demoralizing a People. Depressing details regarding the effect which the government's silent policy of segregating the Negroes in the employ of the various federal departments is having are brought out in a report just published by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, segregated colored workers, and having been significantly felt little or no race discrimination, are now treated like letters. The situation is demoralizing in the extreme. "Pessimistic feeling is widespread among the colored people, the report shows. Many who have worked for years are outside of white persons of both sexes and have earned their respect and friendship, are broken-heated over this revival of race discrimination. They feel like outcasts now. Discrimination is practiced also in the assignment of quarters. Only that which no one else wants is given the Negroes. The lunch-room assigned to colored workers in one department is insanitary. In another department they have no lunch-room at all. "It is a striking inconsistency that the government has been so loud in the lack of freedom of opportunity in this country should be the first government in a generation or more to curtail the freedom of opportunity of an entire race because of its color."

Mrs. Lewis was held in high esteem and this was evidenced by the chancel of the church being surrounded with mounds of beautiful floral designs.

Stop and Think 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 is rank poison to most scalp, and as it is the cheapest basis to be had it forms the biggest part of the production, 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.

A Marvelous Discovery which Grows Hair in Three Months and Positively Keeps the Hair Straight Everybody will be pleased to learn that the alarming increase of baldness has been checked at last by the discovery 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 becoming 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. Its properties are so remarkable that not only does it grow hair, but also improves the quality of existing hair, if it is gray or fading it will frequently restore it to its natural color within two or three months. No stronger argument can be used in its favor, than 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.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Thanksgiving Day gone, Christmas is on. Mexico seems to be determined to fight it out. The citizens seemingly are bent on slaughtering one another in spite of the latter-day notion of arbitration. There is no real, downright excuse for war, but if they must murder to be happy, let 'em do it. A colored merchant, John H. Davis, of Bluefield, W. Va., according to report, failed for $14,030.56. His assets were set down at $9,636.85. The point is that the Negro is coming, falling just like the white brother when he falls. He "don't fail for nothin." While we are not mean enough to nag, and would not be guilty of such an ungentlemanly thing for the whole world, we would like to know what has become of Bishop Alexander Walters and his Negro Democratic League?-The Birmingham (Ala.) Reporter. Give it up. Governor Tener, of Pennsylvania, has been asked to appoint a commission of ten to investigate the affairs of the late exposition. Harry W. Bass, the chief promoter, is being besieged by creditors, who are demanding pay for services rendered. He says that there is a balance in the bank, but he doesn't say how much, or what will be done with it. At the New York Negro Exposition it is said that 50,000 patents from the United States Patent Office were on exhibition. This strikes us as a tree mendous number for the Negroes alone, but we are not prepared to dispute the assertion. Even if the figures are high, there are other facts in connection with the patents issued to the race that are quite as surprising. A model of the first machine for manufacturing shoes, the invention of a Negro, was one of the interesting exhibits. An automatic device for oilling locomotives was also on view. Exhibits were shown from the Negro republics of Haiti, Santo Domingo and Liberia. The old canal is still giving up its secrets, and some of them dreadful enough. The stream seems too useful to give up, as harmful it as it appears to be. The water works company uses it to little advantage, but it could be easily dispensed with, as it often is. As a scavenger the canal is at its best, hiding the refuse thrown out from the homes in its vicinity. Would be suicides and murderers are finding it most convenient for their business. It seems to belong to the "Indiana avenue system" and as a consequence no one is disturbed about what it does. The canal is a rather pleasing waterway, but if it continues big with harm it ought to go. This community was shocked a few days ago on learning that Homer Lucas, a well-known young man about the city, had been drowned in the canal. When his body was found it was thought that he was a white man. Friends and relatives of Lucas soon established his identity. The drowned man was a relative of Charles Brown, the well-known politician. His family was among the first colored people to live in Indianapolis. He was of good education, very well read and a splendid conversationalist. *Lucas was a successful pharmacist for several years, holding a position with a large firm of this city. He permitted the drink habit to master him; and in spite of the splendid testimonials of his work he was let out. After that was one of upes and downs—to-day he would be in splendid form, talking hopefully of his prospects; to-morrow he would be waiting his fate, talking of self-destruction. That the young man committed suicide is not doubted by those who knew him. He could never recover from the effects of his brilliant entrance on life. He was highly accomplished, high salaried; he was highly respected. His people were among the best in the city. Above all of this, he was sensitive, a quality which developed rapidly when he came in contact with a hard, indifferent world that he did not know about. He became moody changeful as mercury in a thermometer registering consistently, with his varying fortunes. All that knew him have the same story to tell of him. In other respects than the one mentioned Homer Lucas was a model as young men go. He was kindly, courteous, as gracious as the gentleman read of in books. He had no frivolous talk, nor did he preach, lecture or anything of that kind. He spoke as an intelligent young man who applauded the injustice and the fact, his very intelligence, contributed to his despondency. His new associates had nothing in common with him; he was alone amid his new-found friends. To be or not to be became the question with him. His life became worth to him, as he saw it, but a penny's toss. We may imagine that he tossed and lost. The Freeman will issue the largest Christmas issue ever issued this year. Out OBJECTS TO THE WORD "DARKIES" IN SCHOOL READERS. Harvey C. Smith, editor of the Cleveland Gazette, is having a tilt with the Board of Education of that city because the readers used in the public schools have in them the word "darkies." The author of the reading lessons in which the word occurs seemed to have had no idea of insult, as Mr. Smith speaks of the use of the word. We mean to say that the author has unconsciously offended, and because it is the usual thing to refer to the plantation Negroes in that way in what might be called polite literature. Whe nthe white people of the South spoke of the Negroes out of their better mood toward them the word "darkies" was invariably used. It was a term of respect. It meant warmth, attachment, endearment of a kind. Then, again, the word has been used in a scurrilous sense, the ugly mood of the speaker and the peculiar stress laid on the word, also the situation, giving in all the meaning of "insult." We cite the offending reference to the book and the book and as noted in the Gazette. "In describing the festivities in which the colored people took part, the writer says, on page 107 of the Jones Reader: 'On the Fourth of July the great plantation barbecue marked the day for the darkies.' Later, on the same page, describing the Christmas festivities, he says: 'The excited darkies felt at liberty to creep into the "white folks" house' at earliest dawn, and often before dawn, on Christmas morning, and startle every member of the household by shouting, "Christmas gift, everybody!" Of course, all responded with a gift." Mr. Smith calls attention to the fact that the word has the same significance as the word "Sheeny," used in deiring the Jewish people. It is something like that when used in the uglier way referred to above. And perhaps at this day its use could not have, the friendless meaning as in other days. There is no occasion for it. We think that the editor of the Gazette carries his point even if a trifle bitter in his argument. It is not music to the ears of the colored school children of the schools of Cleveland to hear their race referred to as darkies. In magazines and novels where writers take all sorts of liberties it is not so bad, but usually quite unusual, hastily saucy to refer to some Negro characters, at times, as darkies. In the school room it is entirely out of place. JUDGE JAMES H. COLLINS AT BARNES CHAPEL. Judge Collins, of the police court, gave a talk at Barnes Chapel, North Indianapolis, last Tuesday evening, under the auspices of the brotherhood of that church. What he had to say was interesting. He is earnest in his effort at humanizing the courts that have jurisdiction over the freedom and the lives of individuals, judging by his warmth of expressions and that somnifhe in the countenances of men which reflected real man. The Judge recited many touching incidents of his court, his observations within the four years. He will retire in a short while, but in the language of St. Paul, he has kept the faith. When he began his career the citizens found him talking about the murder of prisoners and heard at Y. M. C. A.'s, in brotherhoods, in pretense of constitutions and prisons, and with the one purpose in view, that of contributing to the welfare of the prisoner who is our brother yet, and who will meet us again in general society. The speaker said that a great wave of reformation was sweeping over the country, and as it should be. He told of the many cases in his court where hardships would have befallen innocent families for some trifling offence on the part o fa parent. Where there is a reasonable hope of salvation earlier offenders will be given a chance. The speaker said that talked the matter over with wife before passing on the husband; he thrashed the business thoroughly out; he thrashed the prisoner the benefit of the doubt. Many excellent things were said by the Judge, who reminded once more of the patriarchia; who, at the beginning of civilized society, was father to the community. He is paternal, sympathetic, administering the laws' bitter touch as a thing of the last resort. Some men would speak of this as woman heart, faint heart and such like. But it is not that way necessarily—the bravest art the tenderest. It's no longer the theory that those who brave to do with the freedom of individuals must be percious in aspect, frowning terror as an indication of authority and formality. The harmonizing spirit will do more to recall their older days when the prisoner was hemmed about by that kindler influence, thus making for a spirit of penitence, the desire to return to those from whom he is divided by reason of crime. Lover hither greater sway than swords when it comes to the hearts of men. KENTUCKY'S CAPITAL President G. P. Russell, of the State Normal School, Held Kentucky's Banner Up at the National Land and College Conference at Washington, D. C.-City Federation of Women's Clubs Renders Program--Author C. L. Timberlake Complete The best of the best State--Gossip from the State Teachers' Association-Hair Dressing aPrior and Night School Opens. (By Hardin Tolbert, State Bureau, at People's Pharmacy with Phones 233, 233, 233, President G. P. Russell, of the Kentucky Normal and Industrial Institute, attended the conference of representatives of the Negro Land Grass Council in Benton, D. Ky. This is one of the largest meetings of educators in the country. Prof. Russell was the representative of the thousands of students of Kentucky. He offered an entry in response to the welcome address, won for Kentucky a higher standard in the oratorical field. President Russell is a member of the executive committee represented by such a scholarly gentleman as President Russell. Miss Katie Wilkins, teacher at the oncton street high school, is able to be out after a few months' illness.

THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED 'REVS'PPER for entertaining the youth to their advantage. Mrs. T. L. Anderson, state organizer, as usual, was busy, exerting all power to make his meeting a success, and she had the cooperation of other good women. Since Dr. H. B. Rosby, a prominent young dentist, opened a first-class office in the Odd Fellow's building it has been in the form of an inspiration to the other young people. Mrs. Dalla Johnson, of Londiana avenue, has been very ill, but is now able to be up. Mrs. Mary L. Rodman died after a long illness. The funeral services were held at St. John A. M. E. church, Rev. D. C. Carter officiating. Misses Magrie Knight, Maud Russell and Margaret King attended a dance in Danville. Mrs. James A. Ray was called to Sonnerset, on account of the illness of her mother. Home. The act was very good and the musical numbers nice. Mr. Stewart's song, "Get That Idea Out of Your Head," was one of the most popular works of the year. The show, "Funny and Mr. Stewart knew just how to sing it to the people. Another nice member was 'Just to Be Around Salvation, Nell,' sang by Miss Maude Jones and company. Miss Jones is a nice song; it was taken great interest in whatever work of the�her was to take up the work in the other members of the company did well in the most competitive parts. The act went well all week. Sezell Brothers on the rings and bars were great. Billy Cumby, in songs and dances, was great. The next act was a western drama by the band one woman, the title being "The Get-a-Way," the scene being laid in a depot in Arkansas, which was very good. The Brown Sisters did one of the swellest acts of its kind ever seen at the Lafayette. They have played some good works, and have the act that will stand in-spection. They wear nice costumes and are very good. The man is there in the a man as there is in the he promises you work, he does not have any work, he is a true vaadaville stick to what he says, a should do. He does not Mrs. Lucy Carter, one of Franklin county's pioneer citizens and a rich widow, leaves her home of Prof. Geo. H. Oliver and wife, Mrs. Oliver is a former Kentucky belle, while Prof. Oliver is president of the school at Clarkdale, and is well known as the founder of the Normal Heights is the mother of Mrs. Jones, who has recently crested a beautiful edifice opposite Normal Heights. We wish Mrs. Carter good luck on her trip to the South. A New York hair dressing and beauty parlor has been launched in the Knights of Columbus. Miss Lizzie Johnson is proprietress. Miss Johnson is experienced in the business, and is from New York. This is someone who has been a beauty parlor for this is the only beauty parlor in the city. On Sunday afternoon the doors of the beauty parlor were open for inspection, and we were welcomed with many beautiful flowers and everything was neat and clean. Miss Johnson is a very attractive young lady and a woman of great beauty, who this venture and you should not fail to patronize it. Ruth Ruth McCary, the bewitching chocolate damsel at the Capital, will spend a few days in the metropolis, the guest of her brother, Mr. Bert McCary, who is very popular in the elite society circles he lives in. Miss Hattie Black, left for Louisville, after spending a few fwews with Mr. and Mrs. John Ray. Mrs. Julia Thompson is some better after a few weeks' illness. Mr. Frank S. Carter, of Louisville, the son of Mrs. Green, is some better. The Young Ladies' Art Club met at the residence of Mrs. Carolyn Taylor Cathoun, with a nice number present. Mrs. Cathoun is president and Miss Ada I. Anderson is secretary. Mrs. Henry McCown left for Louisville, Cincinnati and Indianapolis to visit her friends. C. I. Timberlake, author of "Household Ethics and Industrial Training in the Industrial Schools," addressed at Elizabethburg in the city hall. Mr. Timberlake is the first Negro that has ever spoken in the city hall of Elizabethburg, and he gifted orator. He was highly entertained. He filled an engagement at the Emanuel Baptist church at Louisville, Sunday, en route from the lecture tour in the western part of the state. Mrs. Mary Williams of Midway, was the guest of Mrs. account of the illness of Mrs. Mason. While here she was the guest of Mrs. Arthur Boccalr. Mr. John Patterson and Miss Emmia Logan were married thanksgiving evening at Mr. John Allen's on Holm street. The Bowling Green teachers failed to attend the State Teachers' Association at Louisville. We suppose they were the only one who attended the association met at Bowling Green only one teacher from Louisville out of over a hundred attended, and that one was a graduate of the State University. Bowling Green should learn to forget and forgive. The young people of this city are planning a great Emancipation celebration as a tribute to the ex-slaves on January 1. Resolutions were adopted by the State Teachers' Association to have annexed to the State Normal School a college dept. to go out of the State to get a college education. This was the consensus of opinion of the whole association, but the institution would have to be held in the State. Many of the prominent educations will meet here during the Legislature and lobby for this measure. Mrs. J. D. Bonner of Louisville, a member of one of the wealthiest families of the city, was the first woman to wear W. H. Wright as a guest, has a beautiful residence on 12th street. Mrs. Bonner is very fascinating and a Christian young lady. Lawyer Al Andrews of Louisville, a graduate of Howard University, has an assistant lawyer, Lawyer Wright the second floor of the Standard Life Insurance building. He is a Christian young man and has a bright future before him. Prof. G. W. Jackson of Papaluchi, a good graduate to the State Teachers' Association. His subject showed that he had given considerable time to the theme of the address, was as interested in the profession, Prof. Jackson is one of our prominent educators of the western part of the State. Prof. H. F. Jones of Henderson, who always brings a large delegation to the State Teachers' Association, regardless of the time he was as usual on his job and he spoke the sentiments of his people when he said he would not have felt led, that he was not hunting a job and that he wanted to see the work go on. Mrs. C. I. Timberlake, teacher at the State Normal, is on the sick list. Prof. R. W. James. instructor in scientific agriculture at the State Normal, attended the National Grant College and Land Conference at Washington, D. C. Mrs. Caroline Taylor Calhoun will open a night school Monday at 7:45 p.m. and will have a week-Monday, Wednesday and Friday. This is an opportunity to the many girls and boys that have not the time to attend a day school. Mrs. Calhoun will teach the young grade. We are glad to see the young people launching into new enterprises. The writer will attend the State Federation at Lexington. The Lincoln Theater. Lafayette Theater Dunbar and Suites, English entertainers, went very well. He even clevered prima donna, was pleasing in her work. Clyde Vaux and company in the "Duke of Marborough," were quite a hit. Then came Mr. Clyde, who had been entitled "Two Boys From Home." The act was very good and the musical numbers nice. Mr. Stewart's work was one big scream. The song was very funny, and Mr. Stewart knew just how to sing it to the people. Another nice song was "The Nell," song by Miss Maude Jones and company. Miss Jones is a nice singing take. She writes whatever work or character part she is. She is a clever and valuable woman. The other members of the company did well well all the respective parts. The act went well all the way. Sezell Brothers on the rings and bars were great. Cumber, in songs and dances, was great. The next act was a western drama by two men and one woman, the title being *The Lost Lady*, which was in a depot in Arkansas, which was very good. Brown Sisters did one of the swell-cat acts of its kind ever seen at the LaFayette. They have played some good roles, but they are not in the secession. They wear nice costumes and are a big card on the last half of the season. They are Harrison Stewart and company brought up the rear, closing the show with heavy Crescent Theater. Joe Marr, a bass singer, opened the bill. He has a splendid range of voice, and he has a handleliness that jokes used by him went fairly well, but the two bass solos sang by him were well received. Ward, another singer, followed so close behind Joe Marr that it was hard for her to get much applause, yet she sang fairly well. The Barbier Trio got by. The Eight Honeycuple Girls were the scream. Mr. Sims and wife deserve a special act up to the standard it now possesses. They told me of their hard work in keeping things going and keeping the bunch together. The act is full of life from start to finish, and at the finish they receive much applause. Clemo Harris, a member of the act, was a comedian, a comedian, who did some nice bue dancing. Mr. Sims sang "This is My Wedding Day," assisted by Mrs. Sims. The comedian worked hard, and all deserve great credit. The last half of the bill was opened by Fanny Leeve, who played the piano and sang, and she played oarsen an artist, who also baked bread. There were several classic songs that were well received by the audience. Gibson and Burton with the "Brother of the Bread" and the "Bread" went big. These boys are now getting together, and their act is a winner. Maha Razah did some very nice tricks with the dice box with the dice box and others went big. Johnson and Britton closed the show, the audience and were well received by the audience. Family Theater Dresota and Lori were a very bum act. Billy Ward did nicely. Walter Johnson, another one of those who was a graduate of the University in advance, was would be his finish as a professor. Pioneer Theater. Johnson and Britton played this house Sunday, November 10, going on a tour. The house was decorated with hands, and the new managers seem pleased with the purchase of this theater. The house was opened with the Isabel Trio, an Italian musical act, which was a screaming success. Carey and Carey went big. Carey and Carey went another big success and packed the house. Then came Nichols and Logan, who closed the bill of the week. Mr. Nichols has been on the sck list for several weeks and is able to be up again. He did a nigs ack. Franklin Theater Some of the best pictures seen in any theater were seen here last week. **Fifty-Ninth St. Theater.** Two acts played here. The Country Store still a winner. "The Streets of Harlem" is the name of a play performed at a number of the theaters, which is quite a drawing card, showing quite a bit of the colored settlement. "Williams & Stevens and their Flock" will open Monday, December 1, in Philadelphia, Pa. at the new Shade Theatre. "The Two Raters" will perform "The Second week they show 'The Arrival of Booker T.'" J. Leubrecht Hill and his "Darktown Follies" have returned to the Lafayette theater for a two weeks' run; so the house is being packed once more. Williams & Stevens "Chop Suey Restaurant," with two Chinese cooks, is doing fine. The Indianapolis Freeman is sold at 234 West 20th St. New York City. WHAT'S WHAT ON THE S. H. DUD. LEV. CIRCUIT.

Evans, playing last mirth theater first half, Virginia last half, Indianapolis, commendation and compliments of his act. Mr. Evans is a ventriloquist of class and renown. As to lapeurs or lip words, Sam has yet to speak. Mr. Evans has three-quarters of an hour to one hour without moving his lips. Mr. Evans is convalescing rapidly and will be seen soon in the big time. COLUMBUS, GA., NEWS. (By Aurelia Williams.) An excellent program was rendered at the Friendship Baptist church on Sunday last. Several members of the church were present and many were in shining and several of the little ones recited. A march was given by the Sunday school in honor of the occasion. The church was beautifully decorated. Rev. Pascual Fascal was the great work. We are thankful for this good man to minister to us. JACK GINGER WIGGINS. Everything is going lovely at the Grand. The Billy King Stock Company has been here for five weeks. The origi- nial big song he wrote for his big song he hit of the season "Going Back to Caroline." Jack Wiggins is a good self-impersonator who can be buck dancer of America, and has never been defeated. He still has his little dog, Jack, and has never changed. Jack is pleasing the people with his fast changes and his new line of wardrobe. Shas Jones, known as Jonesie, is some singer AT THE PEKIN, CINCINNATI, O. The regular patrons of the P&K剧 theater were greeted with another high-class audience. They were invited to pick out two better acts over the entire circuit. The Hottentot Girls (Miss Leona Marshall and Ganzele White) begged for a dance performance, good dancing and classy singing. This team is a winner. The Stewart Brothers were a riot. This act certainly takes us back to the days when Negro comedians really entertained. Dink Stewart is a well-known comedian who works harder and gave better satisfaction than on this occasion. His brother is an able assistant, which is essential in good team work. The act deserves bigger and better LEW W. HENRY MANAGER OF DUD LEY CIRCUIT. Very much has been said in reference to Manager Lew W. Henry, of the Dudley circuit. Some have seen fit to criticize that man that he does not give a fair deal. Those who know him best say that Mr. Henry rests at the performance in a train car, where he is a man as there is in the business. When he promises you work, you get it. If he promises you work, you get it. If he is a true vaudeville agent, one who sticks to what he says, as business men should do. He does not stall you for your work, but he generally assured at least fifteen weeks of continuous work. Lewis and Jones, Indianapolis, Indiana, managed what praise for his management AT THE UNIQUE THEATER, DETROIT, MICH. The Unique bill this week is the best ever shown here: Sims and Sims, Heater Kenton and Miss Shepard. Miss Kenny and Miss Shepard and songs, and keeps the house in an uproar. Sims and Sims are a laugh from start to finish with their dancing and singing. "That Tall Man of Mine," is real laughable. Charles Alexander has just realised that he is a honeymono trip and will be found again at the piano at the Unique theater. CIRCLE THEATER, PHILADELPHIA Dixon & Hanson win over all. The usual big crowds continue and a good show rewards their enthusiasm. Hamilton & Davis, male vocalist comedians, are the stars. Mills, comedy duo was a close second. The Hill Sisters, one of the cleverest young sister acts made all sit up and take notice. These girls are really clev cr and he soon overrun all expectations, he would have to and hope to have him out in a very few days. Nevt week brings Walker Thompson and Jimmy Dennis to work. He wark. Sidney Perrin and Leona Blank, comedy skit. The Edwards Dancing Act, consists of skilled singing and musical performance. THE FOLLIES OF PLEASURE AT THE MAJESTIC, INDIANAPOLIS. The announcement that "The Foilies of Pleasure" will be the attraction at the opening of the show, causes a stir in all circles, especially when one glances over the array of talent that comes with this popular organization, the Dane Coleman Invitational, an imittable funmaker, Dan Coleman, includes many who have added to the success of the man one Broadway producer, Mr. Coleman. The dual role of the Janitor and the bogus Lord, and it is needless to say that aside from his role as a man of great durability magnetism will win for him a repetition of his recent Broadway triumphs. He is an unusually strong cast, among which are such well known names as Clyde J. Bates, Tom McKenna, Fred Bulla, and Lilian Lydian Raymond, and last but not least a famous challenge chorus of "Broadway Beauties." The usual daily matines will SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT TO PERFORMERS Will Contribute Timely Article for Big Christmas Number.

MAGIC SHAMPOO DRIER COMPANY, MINNEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA Webb's Famous Picture of Jesus! Is Finished in Colors—Was Jesus a Negro with Woolly Hair? 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 have to say, after hearing Elder Webb on the subject, that the blood of the cross through the veins of Jesus is applied such an intellectual treat. The reason he assumed as the subject of his lecture touching the Hamestic blood and race is difficult and requires a practical knowledge of Biblical and historical lore. Elder Webb I am aware that he took only the most 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, and that the blood of Jesus is not complete, it is strange that the deliverers in the Biblical records have not advanced the conclusion applicable before. Not only is Christ a Negro, but it seems that Solomon, who has been he'd up through the times, as the personification of wisdom, had Ethiopian blood in his veins also."

Despite the common music store scene, there was fun enough in it, by Kumry Boesch and Robinson to hold the show back for several encores. The tall, landy yellow and red floral fury, the good-ouns site, is the smiling little pianist whose method was good, were all winners, and, by the way, the Four Cook Sisters, real singers, were close rivals. Bud Snyder's cycling act was a marvelous and balanced show. The "Good-peach" is the warmers in "The Little Doctor," a clever girl and a good actor. Madison and Nash completed the bill. The last half of last week had Mr. and Mrs. Harry Framptn, the noted robot, was good and his wife proved to be an excellent coronist. Asaki, the Japanese novelty artist, in juggling and balancing on rollers was an exceptionally original food and a thrilled "Dally" "Holding Out," gave a good vaudeville stage story. Mill-lard, Kennedy and Christie were good harmony and comedy singers. "Ethel Whiteside has a good act if she would only cut out about lazy colored folks and get her her own an on-come in the flirtation scene to satisfy the people. The pictures were fine.

The history of the house will be given out later. De Lyons & Jeffries at the Monogram. That De Lyons and Jeffries stopped the show at the Monogram is putting it mild. Jeffries is not only a good original comedian, but also a great voice in the song, "We All Grow Old in Time," really attracted. Frank De Lyons, who has long since been one of the best comedians in the world, dignified, capable straight man as well. May Whitman and her picks, who are decidedly talented boys, was also a comedian in the early 1990s, change action in singing and dancing numbers, pleased and Catherine Eerry, a ballad singer, did fairly well.

Once my lot was crowned with glory, Now forgotten, left behind, Where life's history knows no story- In the harbor of the wind. Then there came a day of weeping. Alack the day, for love was blind; But my story's safe in keeping In the harbor of the wind. Now my life is oozing, stealing, Haunted by a troubled mind, Where no secrets are revealing— In the harbor of the wind. NEW CROWN GARDEN THEATER Tim E. Owsley, Prop.

Persons who keep tab on what's doing in the theatrical circles have long since heard of Susie Sutton. Well, she's here performing, and she's reputation, and better. In her first number she appears as a maid, just a trifle more, and she's kind minded, but looking good for all that. She recites her experience with a man in a most delightful way. She is an actress of the best ability. The fine shading of expressions, and of words, her facial expression, and of her voice, are first ranks of performers regardless of color. She amuses greatly, she entertains. Miss Sutton's Italian character is vivid and beautiful, you see it all as she tells the story. She would take her husband Antonio. It is something to hear this talented woman in her uninterrupted flow of mongrel English, and it is effective than English or Italian. Here again is Miss Sutton at home. No colored performer rivals her; she will class Her last number showed the real Miss Sutton, who appeared a dream of a woman in a splendid close fitting gown of white silk. She said, "I Don't Want To." made a third fine number. It was a splendid success. Her other singing number was "The Wilkins Still Purseed You." The little girl was a great picturequease as work of the kind gets to be. Miss Sutton was received with the attention and admiration she deserved. GOUDLEY Refined Players, Featuring the Devil's Fell Goodlove and McCoy do some neat work, refined singing and dancing, all through is an air of gentility until the very close when they appear in their pretty red silken costumes as the devil and his mate, a neat looking bit of work. Missella Goodloe is well known to Indianapolis theatergoers. She is a favorite becoming so by her splendid work seen from time to time. She was received with applause at her first appearance on the opening night. Her singing and dancing were features showing improvement in refinement over her past work. Miss McCoy is vivacious and also entertaining. They sing "On the Trail of the Lonesome Pine." The other songw were the "Junkman's Rag," and "Wireless Down in My Heart." The hunning talk was good, humorous, and drew applause. The team was well received throughout their work. DEMOS JONES, Singing, Dancing.

His last dancing turn was a novel exhibition of the dancing ar. "His songs are 'My Little Jungle Babe.' "When I First Met You," and "You Are My Beautiful THE COLEMANS, George and Neighbors and Raleighs The Colemans start out briskly singing "On the Mississippi," with lively steps. The running talk gets the applause. They do a little stunt where supposed death of the straight performer makes for a very amusing situation. It EMMETT ANTHONY Emmett Anthony made his appearance after a week's absence from the Crown Garden stage. His comedy is well known, and he has given his bill saying much for his ability as a producer, as a performer. Everything Anthony does gets the applause. He is also a feature of his work. It appears that he is named Emmett all right, having in mind Fritz Emmett, the greatest of all yodlers. His doing, he says, "Thousand Lives," was a song he sings. DENSLOW AND DENSLOW Comedian and Straight. Denslow and Denslow enter singing "The Italian Rag," which they take off when they step back. The singers look well suited and well good.

The vaudeville in the South is the Negro performers' lifespan after leaving the city and have visited nearly all the Southern houses of any importance. There has been quite a change in the past. The Negro performers have been erected, most of the suggestive stuff has been eliminated and the managers have begun to analyze and act like actors. For a suit and telling jokes of the 1861 variety, and above all, singings in the air, the Browns order to make good. They are paying fair salaries for a good team that can deliver the more interesting act. Because the public is getting tired of the stereotyped act and wants to see something different. You used to stay in a house, but have known performers to stay from six months to a year in one house. You have known performers to book you for two weeks. Lots of houses have cut out stock and are running straight vaudeville, classing all things about the Negro vaudeville, classing all acts alike, no matter what you do or ask for a salary. The managers have a very limited limit is... Why, we had Joe Roundtown in here and we only paid him $20, and he was the only comparison between the acts. Southern vaudeville is all right, steady work, no big salary; but half a load, better. Over the course of a couple of performers talking, One said to the other: "How much does it cost you to live? He said, Well, you, you, you, make $40 a cost; if I don't know the same, I make $50 a cost. We performers have to look out for winters here. If you live from hand to mouth, things will be terrible, especially with a mouth. Remember, we all can't be stars and play the big time, no matter how good we think we are. It's been a big change over the country for the Negro performer, the last five years. What's coming next? A. G. ALLEN'S BIG MINSTREL SHOW. J.B. Norton writes from Jackson, Miss.: Well, here we are with two of the biggest minstrels on the road-to-day, side by side, the best-made and best-made. Florida has a day with some Florida.

Special to THE FREEMAN. To the Negro of the Negro Press of the United States. We, the Negro citizens of Jersey City, New Jersey, send greetings. Experience has taken us and there is strength in unity. In this connection, on January 1, 1912, a delegation of the Negro community, to be known as the Committee of One Hundred, having as its object the civic, moral and educational development of the colored men. We have helped the poor and checked several bills presented to the State Legislature which were detrimental to our people. We have plished much for the betterment of conditions among our people in our immediate area. It is our desire to have established organizations of this character in all the States throughout the country, a national movement against unjust discrimination against us as a race, and for the defeating of objectional legislation in Congress when We understand that there have been presented to Congress a number of bills against people; one in particular awaiting to be presented is a bill to repeal the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution which we believe should be amended by Congress so as other important matters now before Congress are addressed in the primary bills pending consideration by Congress, we feel that a united protest should be made to the representatives of these bills. Forthwith, these bills, if passed, will surely work much injury to our people. Our idea is to have a national constitution that should be made to plead our cause before Representatives of the various States, that these objectionable bills, for if they are not, they reach Congress, for if they are not, they reach great injury, and, as a whole, we suffer through their advertisement. There are others who take this matter under due consideration and arouse the people to their sense of duty to one another in a collective effort, and men only can be done through organization. Our organization is non-partisan. Every man must be equal and treated with respect to all men who are worthy among us to take responsible positions. In course, if you think favorable of our plan and so adopt our method, we expect that you will run your own organizations, and you will be your co-operation for mutual protection. If you have taking this matter up kindly, you will be inconvenient for you to start the work, will you please intercede among the civic organizations in your city and communicate with us relative to the same? Thanking you in advance for any effort you may make in movement, and wishing you much success in your business, we beg to remain. Your very sincere PUBLIC COMMITTEE. JOHN M. BROWN. Chairman G. WARREN HOOPER, Secretary THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER Special to THE FREEMAN.

We are informed that jurists say that the Oklahoma case is the best prepared of its kind yet put before the United States Supreme Court, and that it will no whave to meet the issue equally. There is no feature of this case that will be settled which will affect all of the Negroes in the United States, and that is the interstate passenger law.

Hence we hereby appeal to every liberty-loving man, woman and friend of the Negro race in this country to make contribution to the expense of fighting the war.

A few race-loving men and women in the city have been pastors of the Mount Carmel Baptist Church, Washington, D.C., have made great sacraments, and have courted to its present stage, and Mr. Harrison has practically given his service for nothing; but he must be rewarded.

On it's great when the mob is cheering, and the hats are in place before you. And you've grabbed the winner's share, you stand there in the spotlight, uninterrupted by KKK, but battered, bruised and bleeding tender of the padded ring— But that's when you're champion. You handshake holds a welcome, Years of struggle are a joke; Gryacy laughs the wreaths of curling smoke joy and riches, fame and glory— Loud and long your praise is strong, and the world knows your story. And your name on evry tongue— But that's when you're champion. But you'll learn that time is fleeting; Gully seldom comes to stay, and the fate that made you in a night of tears has been out. Once again the ringside echoes, But a curse is evry shout, for they're cheering a new champion As you're shaken out— And you're a "has-been." For your foot's no longer shift, And your spirit wants to bolt, And your eye has lost its cunning, And your sweat is still shaken And the cheers don't sound the same, And your realize how fickle, That emptiness fills your "name"— When you're a "has-been." sill all this world's a battle, And moral's an old, old text— The cheers for each new champion Are drowned in the cheers for the next SMITH WINS OVER LANGFORD. That is, He Got the Decision—New $500.00 for Colored Players—the T (By Billy Lewis.) A few weeks ago, when Sam Langford went down before Joe Jeannette, sported a black cap and wore a jacket to hold true to his former self. And it did look that way. A 165-pound frame with a 200-inch waist and a 200-inch individual to advantage. Many long articles, and sensible enough coverage, defended the statement that Langford was overheavy. W. Naughton, the California sport writer, said that the accumulation of adverse circumstances must have greatly incensed Sam, or else Gunbat Smith is left to be punished. He was thought to be. The general opinion was that Langford was on the decline, owing to his excess weight. It may be that he made a palliative faint to gather the white hope's adversaries on the sac, and then to administer. At any rate, Langford met Smith at the Atlas Club, in Boston, overseeing Langford was worsted. Only a few fighters take an adverse decision in good grace. And their friend and supporter, the referee gave a raw decision, and so forth. It's the way to come down easy—bal to the harrower, this case. The feeling is general that the referee put one over on Langford. The daily papers, and one first-class, honest white hope, as a bad of promise, unanimously said that the decision should have gone the fair way that Langford really proved the better man knocks the theory that he is too fat for utterance all awry, and it over it him. Or it says that Gunboat Smith is a dub, who couldn't even stand before a man who couldn't deny that he's wrong, that's all. The championship business is in no more way to solution than it has been for the past few years. The victory over a better man, is not calculated to set him very high up. The bear apparent to the pugilistic throne has not as yet made good his title, whoever New $50,000 Colored Ball League. Now comes the information that something's doing among the colored baseball magnates is unanticipated. Many big, wholesome things are done. Says the story: "A new baseball league, composed entirely of field next summer. The league is in control by Chicago men, who announced that team will be organized Chicago, Philadelphia, Detroit, more, Cleveland, St. Louis and possibly Kansas City. The league was incorporated several days ago at Pierce, S. D., for $5,000 under the name of the National Colored Baseball League, but its plans were not realized. Headquarters will be made in this city." It's quite time to be working up to the opportunity, really the necessity. If we would share properly in things of the kind. Of course, the big games, those of the big leagues, will ever be attractive, fascinating. They are beautiful things of speculation—one is keyed up to a highly enjoyable sense of expectation to which we can be successful. We will—matched teams. Every incident is a feature; even the coacher is interesting, not to speak of nother, batter, catcher, first baseman. If there is such a thing as a mental brain tone, it's your first-class baseball game. What, with the geometrical diamond, the beautiful great white lines extending from the base to the top of the ball—un-formed men dotted here and there, all on the�, five, moving with the precision of machinery, knowing what to do, and when to do it, make for a sublime special. Then there's the gaping multitude. Whose eyes drink in everything with fever, the astronauts. The players know this, so that's not for they know it. Why should this not be the nation's game? The again, "there's nothing in it." The "the-y" of players know something of this glory, but, as in so many things, their glory is so little. They are now turning in the right direction, after these years of $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TODAY—YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weakness, brought on by excesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has so many worn and new arm right to the one on whom we without any additional help or medicine—that we think every man who wishes to regain his strength and quietly, should have a copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the pre-ordinary sealed charge, in a plain ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write us for it. This prescription comes from a physician, and we are convinced it is the sur-sultating combination for the cure of menhood and vigor failure ever put to use. We think we owe it to our fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that they can be used in the future,couraged with repeated failures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, scare what we believe is the life of our children, restorative upkeep, T-SOOTH-TOUCHING, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly.

A great many doctors would charge $3.00 for merely writing out a prescription this—but we send it entirely free. waiting. Of course, the time has not been ripe for the dreaming of great baseball doings. Many long since saw the necessity of getting together, but it took time to bring the colored people to where there was a semblance of a chance at maintaining clubs of their own. That they must do so is all wrong, all right enough. But what's the use of participating when we know it, what is the way to be against. Crying and lamenting get nothing. "Weep and magnates, It emanates from Chicago, Attention has been called to possible league cities in this column from time to time. It will be noted that the cities named in the above are notable for their large colored population. This is not, but it is not the whole thing. The base has sentiment some of it, not to speak of the proximity of cities. If the cities named are considered it means two leagues, one in the East and another in the West. Railroad fares would practically exclude making those long-distance jumps from East to West. The theatrical performers know this to their errors many of whom complain that they are merely making the railroad companies. Unfortunately, there are no cities that promise baseball support, and Central States cities, Louisville, Indianapolis and Cincinnati can be made good baseball cities, but they are not the ones of those named. Those who outlined the scheme seemed to have had in view the cities with the greater general reputation, such as City, St. Louis, Cincinnati, Indiana, Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit and Cleveland and those working out a Western circuit, Pittsburgh, Washington, Philadelphia, Boston, New York. Fast that should be considered. This has in mind their nearness, meaning the elimination or greatly reducing that great item of expense, railroad LANGFORD SHOULD REDUCE WEIGHT BEFORE MATCHING THE FIGHT (By W. W. Naughton.) SAN FRANCISCO—Judging from the way promoters in various public pugilistic organizations bait Gunbob Smith match, it would appear as though a bait between the fighters mentioned is looked upon as the last word in the fight. But the fighters, however, do not favor any such view as the New York papers were pretty much the best fit for the better showing when he boxed Sam Langford in the city named a few weeks ago, and it certainly cannot be argued that the opinion among New York certies was to the effect that Gunbob Smith had a clear lead over Carl Morris when the latter earned disqualification through striking a foul. From what the writer read about the latter bait, he gathered that the matter was not another Smith-Morris tilt should be arranged, in order to settle the question of their superiority. Leaving aside for the sake of the heavyweight kingdom, there are reasons for arguing that a Smith-Langford match is a matter that should be allowed to happen. Just at present Langford's condition is such that he is far from being a kit sub-player in a championship game, so across the board after he has exerted himself for a few rounds on a boxing platform he seems to put up a good fight. He is a ridiculous figure. Some one may say, "Oh, that can all be corrected with a few weeks of hard work," but here again there is room for Too Fat for Utterance. There comes a time in the experience of all athletes when the flesh when necromachy begins to look as though Langford had reached that stage. He boxed a couple of times in New York, after his return from a grueling training formation excited comment. When he came West to tackle Jack Lester in the oil field belt, it was announced from day one that he would be pearing. When he stripped in the arena, however, Sam was so fat that he seemed embarrassed about it. He took on a bit, his midfist folded over his waist bands, the way a fat man's neck encroaches on the rim of his collar. Sam evidently knew that he was not equipped for the joust, nor would he be sitting in the matter leg exertion. He boxed straight-legged and flat-footed, and stalked, rather than skipped, while following Lester and try- Now, the writer does not insist that it will be impossible for Langfort to tie his hand to the wall, but I am of the belief that it would take at least three months to strip Langfort's hair of synthetic protein and this commits two questions arise: Does Sam retain his habits of easy living, and set him industriously to the task of attaining proper condition? If he keeps his nose in his hands, and the work brings himself to look as he looked a couple of years ago, may he not find, as others might, that removing stubborn hair Much Food for Thought. There is food for thought in the Langford case. As he is at present he is not approached him against any man who approaches him, but matches his signs for may be justified on the plea that his superiority to his opponent condition is faulty, but displays of that kind can scarcely be described as sterling sport. Langford met at Taft, one that made the gorce of the oil field fans rise, and it stands to reason that they are easier to satisfy than the blase light fans of big cats. And here is the biggest men of all. To match Sam Langford with any good mount to offering a premium on trickery. He is in no shape to do himself justice. If really hard pressed, and out of consideration to offering a premium on trickery, would we wise to eliminate Sam from the championship prospect until he has toned down his proportions to a consideration that Langford be thrown out of employment altogether. Sam, like every one else, has the butcher but and any prospect's bait that Langford be thrown out of employment that the handlers of short bouts will avail of themselves of Sam's services just as often as they can, and that prospect's bait that Langford be thrown out of employment that the handlers of short bouts and their attendant preparation will do something toward fitting him with serious or good manliness. Smith or Smith or good manliness. Right now, if Langford figured in an loss, he would probably arrive. hex, hex, would arrive. IN THE SPORTING LINE. Burrel Smith, of Duluth, Minn., is in Indianapolis arranging for bouts with men of his class, 155 to 185 pounds. MILWAUKEE, Wis.—Charlie White, of Chicago, and Ad Wolgast, ex-champion of the National Boxing Club here December 8. The proposed match between Packey McFarland and Jack Britton, which had been scheduled for care in December at the National Boxing Club will hold above December 10 or 15, owing to mixup in dates. CLEVELAND, Ohio. The creation of a municipal boxing commission to supervise the sport in this city does not come within the scope of home rule powers. Packey McFarland said that he was a movement on foot to initiate an ordinance legalizing boxing contests. "The regulation of boxing bouts is not affected by the state, and is not affected by the home rule amendment to the constitution," said Mr. Baker. The mayor said that he had no intention of resisting or order prohibiting boxing bouts of all kinds. One thing the boxing commission said to need to complete success in Australia is to popularize it as a summer instead of a winter game. Keen observers say that baseball can better compete against cricket in the sport; it now can against football in the world. THE FREEMAN, AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER.

TENNER HAPPY OVER NE W JOB AS NATIONAL PILOT Governor Will Get $70,000 for Four Year Term Accepts Base- ball PHILADELPHIA, November 20—Gov. John K. Tener, president-designate of the state, will lead the league he will over his new job. He will be elected formally to the office in New York December 9, but will refuse to accept full salary. The governor will nominate term exp. John W. Heyden, he said, would look after active duties of the presidency of the league. The committee appointed to tender the office to the Governor were at Harrisburg with the exception of President Dreyfus, of Pittsburgh, who was appointed to nominate who invaded the executive department at the capitol were President Charles H. Ebbets, of Brooklyn, President W. H. Baker, of Philadelphia, who also held the proxy of President Britton, of St. Louis, and Gary Ackerman, representing After luncheon with Governor Tener at the executive mansion the party went into conference with him, an idle man, for a conference of the faculty of league to the Governor, who gave the committee to understand that he would accept the place, but his acceptance was not accepted. He was also asked a definite term of years at a fair salary; that he should not resign the governorship and that nothing should interfere with his gubernatorial office. Big Salary Named. The committee represented the club owners offered Governor Tener the position at a salary of $15,000. The committee also requested that the Governor resign his position. The Governor declared that he would be declared the people of Pennsylvania had elected him as their Governor and he believed he would be in that office. The Governor declared inasmuch as he could not give his undivided attention to the office he did not believe his salary for the first year should be $10,000. He then declared that he thought $10,000 would be a reasonable salary for the first year and $20,000 a year for the second. Another one of his demands was that the governor would make the salary for the entire period $70,000, or a salary of $17,500 a year. The governor's committee had profited, but they declared they would not let such a small amount be a way of securing the Governor's services.

In the big ring has a different style of getting the limit of speed out of his mount in the last fifty yards before the wire. A close finish finds Walter Cox, called "Long Shot" because of the big chances he takes, holding the reins tight across the horse's back. His wants near his chest and the muting like a "Tomanche" Indian turned loose in a brewery. Tommy Murphy yells, too, and throws his hands high in the air at the psychological moment. There's method in his work. The same antics under any but the right conditions would throw the animal into a bad break and lose the race for him. "Pop Geers, the greatest trainer of the crew, simply lies, a little lower over the hips of his 'hope,'" draws the reins a triple tighter and talks in a low tone. "Now, boy; now, boy," says "Pop, and there seems to be magic in his words." Jones's coaxing method has all the earmarks of a coming dove.

WHITE HOPES JOKES, SAYS DAN McKITTRICK In the sporting columns of the Fort Worth Record, John Kittrick was the following in record: There is nothing quite so lacking in merit and so overplayed in any line of sport, the heavyweight division of the fight game. "White hopes" they call them, "Indigenous hope" they call them, "about as much hope for conquering the black leaders of their division as Paul Sikora" phrase, applied to likely looking white heavyweights soon after Johnson gained full claim to his title by conquering the world. One purpose, and that had its beginning and end with the fight promoters. Its beginning existed in press tales and its end was in the fight promoters' tened his bank account and the so-called "white hopes" shared in the spells. The public plays the goat game and his end with banking the public. Carl Morris, Frank Knowles, and Simon Sinclair are knowledge leaders of the class. The speed or any member of this trio, as compared with Jack Johnson, is like the speed of a throughthug. Of all the awkward lions that have been thrust into the ribbon performances, a longsieman that is the average longsieman—knows the majority of white hopes known in a class. The recent bout between Smith and Morris at Madison Square Garden was missed. Johnson could hit either of these giant fighters six blows between the time they completed a punch and the time they got their grunt. Morris on white leader, is on his way to Europe. While talking light before hitting, McKittrick, his manager, forgot to document and turned loose this confession: "None of these white hopes has had a chance of him to know. Moran, Smith, Morris and the whole lot of them know how to fight." Not one of them knows how to fight. And Dan McKittrick spoke the truth. As money getters, they are 100 per cent, live par, but as fighters they are minus zero. SOMEBODY DREAMED. He Saw the Negro Passing as a Pug illist—Will the_Dream Come True? Slowly, yet as sure as there is a to-morrow, is the white race regaining the steps and being badly misleading, inside of another year or two the white fighters will once more reign supreme. For the last ace in fighting game, he held the ace in fighting game, but the champion is about die, and when it takes place it is doubtful if ever again will the black bouts his skill with the gloves against the authorities, in the United States at least. At present the bantamweight championship, the world is held by a white boy, Johnny Johnson, to do other things. Negro in the ring, Johnny cannot remain champion forever, but he is not likely to allow a Negro to beat him. The feathered fighter is also worn by a white fighter, Johnny Kibane, and the little Cleveland artist does not intend to allow a Negro to beat him. Will Ritchie not do it, too, because no loom up a colored fighter who stands a chance against the 'Frisco miller. The only championship held by a Negro is the title, which Jack Johnson still carries around. There are possibilities, though that Johnson will shortly find himself reeling down known he has worn for the most five years. The Negro fighter is gradually dying out. Less than ten years ago the names of Joe Gans, Joe Walcott, Jack Blackburn, Jack Johnson, Sam Langford, Sam McVey and Joe Jeannette were common to the boxing fans. The last of these are Langford, Jeannette and the champion. Langford and Jeannette are slowly fading, and inside of another year the pair will probably be forgotten. Their exhibition two weeks ago gave evidence that they are about ready to join the down and out club. True, Langford did not train for that bout, but those who have watched Sam in his fights since he returned to this country declare that he's done. Langford stalled along for many years, failing to give the fans the best he had, but now his star is gradually dying out. INDIANAPOLIS MAN BOXES HIS WAY OUT OF PENN STATE PEN PHILADELPHIA. — Jack Blackburn, several years ago considered the greatest of the Negro pugilists, is to be pardoned because he has been serving a term for the slaying of an admirer of his wife. His case came up before the pardon board last week, and he was sentenced to three years, thrown around the action of the board, it is understood that his request to be paroled was acted favorably upon and that his parole was approved. The liege of going to Australia to start life anew and to re-enter the ranks of pugilism. The parole of Blackburn comes largely through the efforts of Warden McKenny, of the Eastern penitentiary, who has taken a great interest in the work of the model prisoner. In the years he has been in the Eastern penitentiary Blackburn has taught the McKenny boys how to fight and he has made them the best amateur in the city. Jack Blackburn is an Indianapolis product and several years ago gave considerable promise as a boxer. He attracted attention particularly by his work in Australia, members of his family now reside here.

Why members of the race will continue to patronize the white business houses, and do as well with in many instances better, than the white merchant. On the other hand, let the colored merchant cater to the white business houses, and with gods, giving honest qualities and measures, and by the system of co-operation benefit all who are concerned.
