The annual election took place on last Saturday night, and one of the largest crowds in the history of the organization was his administration that he was re-elected without opposition, the first president to gain such an honor.

The President's Policy. The Freeman representative saw Mr. Hamilton at his home on last Sunday morning, and he said: "I shall endeavor to meet the needs of my administration inaugurated during the past year. I fully appreciate that the club is composed of the flower of the city, and I am an agency for a larger and more helpful co-operation between the races in this great cosmopolitan city. We hope to formulate a program which will make for our city a better place to live time to time, be drawn not only the best alent in this city, but from abroad. It is my avowed opinion that just in proportion will be made the kindly sympathies are brought to the race and get a better view of the Negro by a closer contact, just in the same proportion will be made. I believe that the so-called solution of the race problem lies in a better understanding and a more intimate contact between the races. I can point to the accomplishment along these lines, I shall not have spent my efforts and those of my conferees in the management of the clubs' affairs in vain. It is the opinion of the Freeman correspondent that if the club had a committee to take up race matters, they could perceive the need for race and for the community, and it would receive the recognition of the best white people in this city, as representing the right and action of the Negro in Chicago. When Founded and Appointments. When Founded and Appointments. The club was founded in 1900, and was located at 3140 Wabash Avenue in property at 3441 Wabash avenue was purchased.

NEGRO REGIMENTS SHOULD BE OFFICERED BY NEGRO OFFICERS. Editor The Freeman influence in your valuable columns to express my opinion on the issues. in the editorial columns in your issue of May 10. I have long since thought that it would be appropriate to applaud those who have fitted to his colored leaders, but have not had the opportunity to express my opinion. I have been in the service for a century, and the army has nothing for which our intelligent young men can aspire under the guidance of the army, but have colored officers it would be an inspiration to many young men now in college and you are an audience for their enlist. It will tell that, as people can see our conditions, though helpless we are, but in view of these conditions we are not fully capable of passing examination for commissions but for the much-talked-to-so-called "military course," we are not familiar and neither the army officers, but that portion of our government which looks out for the ciliates and privileges. The army officer lives a luxurious life and to commission the Negro would be placing him on too high a level and giving him power to demand respect. The point might be raised that the NCOs need to be trained for lack of training. Then if that is true, why not Congress appropriate a sum of money for the preparation of Negro officers for our regiments at West Point. As for the Negro's soldiering skills, he has faithfully demonstrated that in training he would be able to work with scorn and contempt, he forms the backbone of the American army, although he should enjoy under the stars and stripes and is always herded out of the way in the isles of the Pacific or remotest parts of the country. Patriotic. If we are to have Negro soldiers why not station them among their classed as soldiers of the United States Army and respected as men? A square deal is all we ask. We must encarcerate for about forty-eight years—given freedom, but without liberty. Education and wealth will place us on a plane of equality from the rest of the world, but only is one way under the sun to obtain it, and that is like other races obtained theirs. Our regiments to have colored commissioned officers as well as non-comissioned officers will be a mile-post on the road of Negro advancement and race. GEORGE H.

Spingarn, one of the most ardent champions of the Negro's rights in this country since the days of Abraham Lincoln, and the president of the New York national association for the Advancement of Colored People, will leave this city January 8 for a tour of several Western cities, where he will speak to protest against the segregation of the Negro in the federal departments at Washington and to keep up the fight in disposition on the part of the administration to let up in its treatment of the Negro. Spingarn has come to believe that the segregation of the Negro at Washington is un-American and is tending to reduce the Negro serfdom. Upon this ground Prof. Spingarn proposes to take the stump against American prejudice and urge Negroes to take it. made at Detroit, Mich., where he will address a large mass meeting of Negroes, the University of Chicago and Quincy, Ill.; Kansas City, Topeka, Kas, and St. Louis, Mo. In Chicago Prof. Spingarn will address that in the city will his visit be the most strenuous. The announcement of this tour of Prof. Spingarn has allowed us to overlook the country with much delight on part of the Negro, because no man in American life has a higher respect, and the professor has placed Spingarn. His fearless utterances on behalf of the Negro and his denunciation of American prejudice has placed him in the center of the intellectual life of the country. For a number of years one of the professors at Columbia, University and was one of the most brilliant Prof. Spingarn, when seen at his residence by your correspondent, expressed the keenest pleasure in his tour. Negroes will be delighted the announcement of this tour. Hervie Johnson has returned from St. Louis, so, by way of travel, he visited Mrs. Wright.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Christmas is right at you. "Ain't you skewed?" _____ President Wilson makes it clear that his private opinions and public duties are different things. Some people have a habit of confounding them. Postmaster-General, Mr. Burleson, has passed the word around among members of Congress that he will investigate the sobriety of candidates for postmaster. Mr. Burleson seems to be liberal enough as the term goes, but he is dead set against men of excess drinking hard. Men of that kind find life pretty hard sliding. President Wilson's suggestion as to a presidential primary has not met with popular approval. It is thought that it means too much laws about matters where the will of parties should control. The tendency would be toward party paralysis, leaving very little to be done that was not merely routine. The subject of high priced eggs has at least reached Congress. That body may not have the authority to vote the price down, yet it can probe the combines that make it a business to corner produce and squeeze the public. The Sherman anti-trust law, or something like it, well applied, might have the desired effect. The high cost of living is interesting thinkers throughout the country. Suggestions are being made looking forward to the establishment of wholesale market places to where the producers may ship direct. Much of the cost of handling foodstuffs would be cut out. The middleman, it is held, would still be of service, but the business could be so simplified as to keep down the high cost for handling. The colored people of Muskogee Okla, are working to raise a fund of $5,000 to be used in entertaining the National Negro Business League, which meets in that city next year. The citizens are already making preparations for the great event. Really, that city has been highly honored in view of its size and location. How ever, it is in the belt of colored people, the fact that practically assures a big, successful event. The dear Christmas trees, advance agents of the holidays, are in, laying in long tiers in the by places of the city. Its quite a question as which to do on seeing them—laugh or weep. They conjure forth many pleasant day dreams, also night dreams. But think of the sacrifice! The sacrifice of any life seems wanton, wasteful—even the weeds. Are they made in vain? Then think of the destruction of those beautiful sentinel-like pines—cedars which could be of so much more service to man if they must be cut down. Perhaps it would be difficult to find a fitting substitute owing to the custom so long established, yet for all that it looks like a slaughter of the innocents to see the mowed down even if they are a part of Christmas. Ex-Mayor Shank got off sort a wobble in his vaudelle debut at Kansas City, the evening of December 8. He had a fearful attack of stage fright "that caused him to blush, likewise stammer, to say nothing of falling over his own feet and clawing at his collar. As soon as he could. Shank explained to his audience that the spotlight was to blame the spotlight, and the near proximity of various damsels in scant attire, with rouged lips and blackened eyebrows, who hovered about in the wins. They giggled, said the ex-mayor, and got him nervous. Having explained this to the audience, Lew felt better and launched forth on his dissertation on the high cost of living, with moving picture illustrations. Once he got started on his pet theme everything went well and the former mayor was the recipient of much applause. President Wilson had a merry chat with a delegation of suffragists this week, but there was nothing doing. Dr. Anna Shaw, the head of the assoc. movement, had given the President assist the movement, either by sending a special message to the congress, by including reference to suffrage in any general message he might deliver, or by using his influence to have a special committee of the house appointed to consider the subject. The President was candid, firm, yet gracious in his reply. He said: "I set myself this very strict rule when I was Governor of New Jersey and have followed it as President, and shall follow it as President—that I am not at liberty to urge upon the congress in messages, policies which have not had the organic consideration of those for whom I am spokesman. In other words, I have not yet presented to any legislators my private views on any subject, and I never shall, because conceive that to part of the whole process of government, I shall he snookesman for myself not for myself. It would be an importinence. When I sneak for myself I am an individual; when I snookesman of an organic body I am a representative. SEGREGATION IN KENTUCKY. Madisonville, Ky., has a segregation ordinance the last act of the old city council. The ordinance prohibits the colored and white people from living in the same block. The colored people are stirred up about the matter. They are taking steps to have the act nullified if possible. It is thought that the new city council will reconsider the act, but it is more than likely that that body will not undo the work of its predecessors. The citizens of Madisonville will find that they will have more than they can do in trying to carry out such an act effectively. Of course, it is meant to bunch the colored people, but the rights of the individual to come and go are inviolated. White people will be inconvenienced in the effort to bring the colored people, and the act will become a lootter. The act may do in the main what it sets out to do, but it will not do clean work. There will be invasions as there is in Baltimore. White business men there have claimed the right to do business in Negro districts, and the right to live over their places of business. Other mixtures are possible to the end that the law will prove unsatisfactory. MEMBERS OF U. S. SUPREME Court SHOW RESPECT FOR THEM On the 22d of last month five members of the United States Supreme Court, including Chief Justice White, crowded into an humble little home in Washington to attend the funeral of Archie Lewis, a Negro messenger, who had taken care of their robes ever since they were elevated to the bench. Lewis was serving the Court when three of them, Justices Day, Van Deanter and Lamar, were born and before Chief Justice White and Justice Holmes started to school. Finer tribute of respect could not be paid to an humble individual. The judges of the Supreme Court stand for the last word of dignity, the sum of legal intelligence. It says something for race appreciation in that such men have been so thoughtful, so considerate. We need not fear too harsh verdicts from such a court. We take it that this distinguished tribute is indicative of the fact that the Negroes shall not be maltreated in that high court. To the Messenger. Erstwhile humble citizen, Peering over the battlements of love, jealous of your approbation, In your approbation, double, Of God who notes the fall of sparrows, and of the sometimes man hail to you In your sparron court, From which no man appeals. "Come up higher."—The call "you've answered/approbated's word. No higher!—The call Where messenger and judge Are as one. Fleet of foot, Winged heeled, until the long years taken to the earth onward, In earthly court. Redeemed of the Sluggish slough; now immortal elixir In thy veins abound. Taken to the earth onward, From mansion to mansion fly, As doth the gladstone birds, At the coming of springtime. Carol the lark's sweet tune Walnut all over on summer's Moonlit eve, sing! Make a loud noise! The token of the trumpet Dance in transition of the humble, Who hath inherited greater Than the Earth. NOT SERIOUS ENOUGH. Among the timely remarks in an editorial in the Colorado Statesman of recent date is one that, "The Negro is living too much for pleasure and by pleasure and not enough for improvement by hard, patient and sober endeavor." The statement is worthy of attention; first, because it is true; then the human economy that is learned of the easy nature is to be considered. More than one white man has been struck at the sight of the easy going, the Negro accompanying the Negro's disposition with his own. The white man of business, of affairs, finds himself so wrapped up in business and affairs that jolity is almost out of the question. It is true that the Negroes are largely endowed with that something that cause ready response to the humorous, or what they hold to be humorous. Sometimes the cause is humor, sometimes it is not. The fact that we jostle over easy has long since been commented on, and by thoughtful Negroes as well as by white persons, who saw that too much of the fun spirit hurt the individual, and consequently hurt the race. The proposition is not stated in an offhand way. There are many persons, and perhaps unable to entertain a thought while in the somewhat of a jubilant mood. A school of giggling children is worse than no school. Not only is thought hindered—demoralization follows. It is not difficult to think that something of the same influence will be known in after life, if the giggling spirit is not suppressed. "Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Weep, and we weep alone," is all right. But we are not to get the notion that that means what is meant in this discussion. That carries the thought of optimism, seeing the bright side when possible, being stocal if not cheerful, but cheerful if possible. The publication referred to has in mind the tendency toward the pleasurable pursuits also. In spite of our own position as advertisers of the more pleasurable pursuits we do not get back from the fact that the more serious side of life is being slighted. The Statement goes on to say: "Individuals and aggregations of individuals among us make their living by catering to, and encouraging, to the extreme, the already extravagant propensity of the race toward pleasurable pastime and irreparable wastefulness. "The cost of it all is the lack of the inculcation of serious ideas and aspirations in the minds of our youth, who are to become the race of the future; the lack of that special and proper education which is necessary and must be acquired before the Negro can ever measure up to the spirit of the age and hold his own with other people. The dependence of the Negro, as a race, upon the white man, his business and his institutions, is becoming more and more out of date, and his independence and self-sustenance is becoming more and more required." We need the pleasure side as we find it existing among those about us. We need the serious, downright business side as we find it among those about us. More and more we do find ourselves leaning on ourselves for whatever of the better activities of life—the better things. It is up to us to become as well rounded as we can, meaning that no phase of life is shirked. There's another side, that of the human economy discovered underlying the Negroes' easy-going nature. Perhaps it is not convincing to say that the larger side is down with the larger richest nature; fatality is scarcely considered a quantity in the discussion of questions among mortals. We know this, however, that the humorous side of the race is as set against the hard, stern fate answering to what philosophy and stoicism have been in the white race about us. Among the race the too humorous phase is going; it goes as we enter the larger life, partaking of the greater and higher pursuits, when humor, except at stated times, at the theaters and so forth, is not given comfort. With us it has its had its place and day. It was useful; it was a salvation. Now we have the other outlets of civilization, mad houses, insane asylums for those who mentally careen and toplet. We need not be alarmed by the bald assertion. The contribution there, to those places are unobserved in the great general flow of civilization and prosperity. need you just the same if you be good.

He is witty and original. He makes a hit in his dances. Aaron is conceded to be the new Ginger. Of all the performers he most nearly limits him in his steps and stage caperings. He sings "My Alabama Rose" in a taking way. In fact, he has played the most pleasing beater on the stage. The costumes are very good. The Whitmans make this a speciality.

The details of this taking playlet are short, it is that Miss Mary Jane advertises for a leading lady for a comedy. Bolivia sees the advertisement, but it is not short, it is a vertirement for a cook. It turns out that Bolivia is just the card for the leading Lady. Miss Crissel sustains her reputation as the leading comedienne of her race. She is a genius, a fact that she knows. She is also one of those that can turn on and off the fun she cares to do. Her “When the Mid-Cro-Choo Leaves for Alabama” will not Miss Bailey as straight has won her way to the hearts of the audience. She also leads her class, the two making a team that well merits their reputation. Miss Bailey sang the song "I'll Be Your Girl" and was nicely applauded. She had opportunity in this song to show her splendid voice quality which is rather pathetic closes with a fine waltz movement.

The approach of Christmas, which brings only a small happy family to the theater, is white, good dancers; Westford and Bock, in a ticklish drama; Cower and Darrell, with a lively red-headed girl; Clayton and Lenney, an English team; and a nobly circus of leaping hounds and a bucking mule. The last half of last week had Edgar Comor, in San Jose, as some little soubret, who made love to the star, when the music wasn't too loud. Others on the bill were The Baldwins, Miss Franklin Gale, in a comedy-dramas and Wallace, and Weston, a cartoonist.

Elgar is now eader, assisted by the musician Taylor, Alfred Krenn and Danny Parker. Allen & Morton at the Monogram. The return of Allen and Morton at this house was a revelation and the work of these popular boys pleased highly. Art students were invited and filled. Others on the bill were Venable and Owens, a fine prima donna singer with an intelligent conception of vocal reading and a good impersonator. U. S. Senator Eleanor Wilson made a good impression. Edwards & Hardee at the New Monogram. Junk Edwards just had 'em in his usual cramp, and Miss Hardee sang very well. She made a good showing, especially the comedian, who was funny. There were two white acts. The girl with the trained dog and Golphin and Galnies were on the bill. Another New Offering at the Pekin. According to announcement, the Pokin had another new office in Baltimore, Md., the direction of Braga and Malone. The program can be more fully distinguished by the use of advertising the players.

The Lincoln Theater. We must credit this house with being the luckest of them all, packed houses are seen there every day. In the evening, the officers are kept busy holding the bags and carrying the bags with Clemo, the acrobat. This young man is very clever and in this act was well received. Ruggs and Ganby, in singing dances, danced with the German comedian, did well. Stovall and Stovall went so big that they were held over for the last half. Joseph Tobias, as a singer, is clever, and received her share of applause. Nelson was the best dancer, German comedian, did well. Stovall and Stovall brought up the rear and cleaned up. These people improved wonderfully since last seen here. Lafayette Theater J. Leubrie Hill and the Dark Town Folles, presenting "My Friend From Kentucky," are improving right along in their ability to beat it. The whole show is so much better now on their return. Everybody is working hard and the slow is the talk of the room. The policy of the house has changed. There has been some little dissatisfaction concerning prices, which has been the cause of the slow. As I said, the policy of the house being chanled will make it better for all. Now instead of daily mathews, there will be mathews on Saturday and Saturday. The mathews prices are 15 and 25 cents; evening, 25, 35, 50 and 75 cents. It is in reach of all, and this is the reason for the follow.

In Tulsa, Okla, we discovered the irrespressible Billy McClain, Billy the versatile, Billy the nomad. At one time we were the only one of some theatrical enterprise, an emancipation celebration or a bugh fair. Next we hear of him in the Antipodean movement. Next we learn that he is in England or France, an instructor of terpsichorean art. Now we find him in Tulsa, Okla, manager of the theater, and then ranks as the leading colored periodical of Oklahoma. Billy refuses to bow to the mandates of Father Time, and enters each new enterprise with the vigor of a man. Billy, who was the writer and producer of the first Smart Set show, witnessed a performance of the show, expressed himself as being well pleased with the show. He said that the fact that the show was different from all previous colored productions and compared it with the best recommendation to the Northern public.

All of the audience was pleased with the President. Rev. Johnson, of Muskegue, entertained me at the Inlet, Honest John, and other honors company at a Thanksgiving dinner. Every year Rev. Johnson and family serve the members of the company. During Thanksgiving dinner, what a dinner it was! It is impossible to describe it. First, Mrs. Johnson is a cook of the old school of his son's success and glance at its contents, it reminds one of trying to the whole of a three-ring circus at one of the many restaurants. Johnson dinners would satisfy the most exepticician. Mr. H. B. B. P. Johnson, Jr. is principal of the colored public school. The assistant physician of merit. Miss Beatrice Johnson is a delightful singer and teaches voice culture. A younger son is the head waiter one of the leading hotels of Muskegue.

Manager Lee and wife are proud of the show this season. In managers' roles, we don't need to be better. We have played twelve or more managers on our house band, only one that has a wardrobe. This is his fourth week with us, and he changes shows three times a week. At each change, Mr. Lee ranks second to the Smart Set with costumes this season, of the shows that have played our town and performers to misunderstand my meaning. I don't mean to say that this show shows business and gets the business. He doesn't get off the train with a suitcase and a bunch of rag muffins, saying the show business is not simply to get the sympathy of the manager. The colored patrons are getting wiser than the managers or performers, so managers, make up and get some attrac WHAT'S WHAT IN THE C. H. DUDLEY CIRCUIT Week of December 8, 1913: Washington, D. C.—S.

C. O'BRIEN'S FAMOUS GEORGIA MINSTRELS The J. C. O'Brien's Famous Georgia Minstrels closed the season of 1913 at Brunswick, Ga., December 1, and are now in white quarters. The season war was a marvel, the show has even been called "everybody took their departure feeling they had put in a profitable and pleasant season." The cars will be repaired and large parts will be replaced of any two car show on the road. Mr. O'Brien will visit Cincinnati, Chicago and Kansas City at an early date. The show will be a marvel and robe. Many new features will be added to the parade the coming season, and it is safe to say it will be the most novel and grand parade ever carried with a minstrel show. The heads of all departments have been retained for the coming season. It is safe to say that the show and parade will be a revelation to the old-timers 1914. LOOKS LIKE THE BEST CHRISTMAS NUMBER From the Way People Are Sending in Write-Ups, Ads, Etc. From the way our daily mail has incro- sively grown, almost every letter asking, for and purchasing space for large and small size advertisements, write-ups, certs, etc. is a foregone conclusion that our Christmas edition will be a larger one. It is a hint to you to get ready at once if you want to get in it at all, and you should do so by all means. You never saw the like of fine pictures of prominent men and women, but you have. already received for the big Christmas number. Just think, we make your cut and furnish write-up for the single collection. The management is bending every effort to produce one of THE GREATEST THEATRICAL SECTIONS in the history of Negro journalism. Each page will be filled with articles of interest to the stage, illustrations of theaters, managers and performers by the hundreds.

Never has a show pleased the people so much as this one did. My friend, who lives in the city, and on the stage he was forced to respond to many encores for his clever work. He is the best young comedian that has ever been south in a show of his own. Charles S. Gilpin as Uncle Remus made a decided hit with his raceback impersonation. Smith and Miss Marie Lucas responded to many encores, rendering a number of selections on trombone and cornet. The entire company deserves credit, not only for their present offering, but for their aim, which is to bring to light the talent of our race. One heartily wishes them success in their undertaking. A return engagement would be much appreciated by the people of Asheville. FROM F. S. WOLCOTT'S RABBIT FOOT COMPANY. Decease of Lonnie Townsend. Lonnie Townsend was a young man whose record was clean and clear. He was a member of the Rabbit Foo Club, which he and his many friends and conrades. He was a cornet player of exceptional ability. His home was at Orangeburg, S.C. where he met his wife, Martha, who became ill with typhoid fever on May 20, 1913, and was sent to the hospital at Charleston, W. Va., by the members of the company. The letters given for him amounted to $330, but this condition would not allow him to be taken home. He was taken care of financially by the members of the company. The letters given for him amounted to $330, but this condition would not allow him to be taken home. He was only on the road a few years. Ralph Redmond met him in the plaza.

All of the aspirants for the heavyweight championship title are still referred to as "white hope" in sports, whom that Jack Johnson has his chin in spite of the resolutions of conferences. Billy McClain, former boxing school promoter and sport promoter, has turned up. He is in Tulsa, Okla., engaged in the theatrical business. Billy is something of at Wilbur Micawber. We owl der张 Zambarra, the Little black fighting Deuterch of Berlin. The little fellow has not been a fan of the sport for a long time. He was too light for a wrestler, the leading money making sport in his country, so he would be impressed and stunned to learn his size, but he was told to learn the American "trees" (tricks), as he called R. Guess he meant science. What do you think of this wireless "jack Johnson is practicing on Siberian wrestlers, probably because he expects that Siberian has his future home. But Russia wasn't so sound. Sounds like a lost, strained or stolen. Regarding walking, a well-known hygienist says: "There is no better physical exercise than walking. It brings every muscle into play and thoroughly oxygenates the blood. An excellent tonic for body and brain. It is the very best means of keep- . . .

Shakespeare refers to it in "King Lear," and one of the first court debs in a gas-filled bedroom at his home in Evanston December. The police believe death was accidental. An inquest was held. . . . It's too bad that Jack Johnson has no enthusiastic tourist with him to send back news of his movements, "penciling on the wall," and "P Willis, an enthusiastic American literatur of several generations ago, published his impressions whither abroad under the sun, and that they may happen to the champ will be of extreme interest, more than he thinks, perhaps," Dr. K. A. Worsham, a musician, wrote. "Dr. K. A. Worsham, a word from Hungary, the land of Kosush, as to the Negro would be of moment right along here. He have heard the song Australia, Australia, Japan along the line, but there are a few more countries where the colored brother from the past has been a tourist. What an opportunity is being wasted?

SEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO DAY-YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS. We have in our possession a prescription for nervous debility, lack of vigor, weak muscles, thin flesh, a scab, broken on by accesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men that additional help or medicine—that we think every man who wishes to regain his strength may have to marvel, quietly, should have copy. So we have determined to send a copy of the prescription free of charge, in a plain, or colored envelope to any man who will write us for it. This prescription comes from a physician, and we are convinced it is the sur-acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put We think we owe it to our fellow man to send them a copy in confidence, so that any man anywhere who is weak and diehard can drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, secure what we believe is the quickest-acting restorative, upbuilding, and so cure himself at home quietly and quickly. Just drop us a line like this: Interstate Remedy Co., $331 Luck Building, Detroit, Mich., and we will send you a ordinary envelope, free of charge. A great many doctors would charge $3.06 $5.00 for merely writing out a prescription like this—but we send it entirely online. Midas touch—everything turns to gold, or has that possibility. Nothing heard in the recent days of the League of Colored Players. The thing will have to be sooner or later, if the colored beware wishes. If the colored beware wishes the game, the catch-as-catch-can business that the colored managers know about makes the game too uncertain. The colored beware wishes even the minors, know the ending from the very beginning; not that they know the pennant winner or the financial prize. The colored beware wishes they are going to do. There is no friction to speak of in the machinery. This is as much as can be controlled. The colored players can make the effort. Money, time, patience are necessary. Who not work the combination? CHICAGO—Attorney Benjamin Bach-rach has filed an appeal claiming error in the trial and conviction of Lewis, who was sentenced to serve one year in Joliet penitentiary and fined $1,000 for violation of the Mam act. in the U.S. District Court, before the court. It is likely that no action will be taken by the government as to the remaining indictments against the defendant of his $30,000 bond for leaving the jurisdiction of the court pending the outcome of the appeal. The Negro's bondsman, it was said, will make no difference in the status of the bond unless it should be shown that the estate is insolvent. PARTS—Willie Lewis, the American middleweight, will be sentenced December 5 by Frank Moreau, the French heavyweight both were hunting. Lewis condition is not serious. MACON, Ga.—Baseball meets with but little favor among the Methodists, it appears, judging from the number of Chaundee who has just caused a number of switches in assignments, following complaints which have reached his ears from the Methodist congregation, that two of the best-known ministers in the South Georgia Methodist Conference were more than a quarter of the congregation tendants. The members of their parishes decided that this was not the proper thing for a minister, and made complaint, was a amount, and the minister flees to Montauka and the Rev. B. E. Whittington goes to Blakely. Babe Herron, formerly the crack center field of the A. B. C.'s, of Indianapolis, is now presiding at one of the typewriting machines in the Freeman office.

The colored students of Indiana University have completed their fourth successful football season. The colored students have a very small opportunity to show their football powers on the white students, organized a team of their own race, and play in both of which resulted in victories for the Indiana students. This showed them something of what they were capable of doing other procedures to put out a football game. The result is that this team has defeated the Indianapolis Colored I. M. C. A. Louisville, Ky., two games, and tied one with a score of 6 to 0; defeated Wilberforce, once 6 to 0; and have been defeated by the scores of 13 to 6 and 7 to 6. Summer high school and the Indiana team played an annual Thanksgiving game on account of having defeated the best teams of Indiana and Ohio, the Indiana team claims the championship of these games, and presents for games with all recognized colored football teams of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and Kentucky. They consisted of Norris, Glans, Shively, A. Summers, Johnson, Grant, C. Brown, Evan, L. Brown, F. Knight, and J. Knight. Skelton, Campbell, and Gillis. A average weight of the team is 148 pounds. The team is managed by Mr. Ellis Stewart, of Columbus, to dress all correspondence to the manager. KID HOY ANSWERS BURREL SMITH'S CHALLENGE THE FREEMAN.

The line-ups are as follows The Y.'s had a good opportunity to score on a forward pass within twenty yards of the goal. Floyd throw the ball too high for Butter. The scream of the game was a forty-five. Had he good cork, he would have scored for the Guilds. Brown then made fifteen yards around right end. The feature of the goal was the use of the forward pass by both teams. PUNCHING BAG MAY BE DISCARDED BY MODERN BOXERS The usefulness of the modern inflated punching bag as a means of developing hitting power is being seriously questioned by some who think with brains enough to try to get at the bottom of things concerning their trade. The objection is that the bag, swinging at high speed, does not use in developing body blows. It is noticeable that body punching is becoming a lost art, most modern boxers distracting all their attention swinging for Before the air-infused sphere became so popular a heavy, slow-swinging bag filled with sand was used. Even now, the ball is used in training quarters. This offers a good practice for body blows, but it is seldom used properly, even when it is not neglected altogether. It is also useful in its use affords more amusement. For this reason the heavy bug does not find favor with modern boxing, but it takes advantage of its good features. Even those who are versatile enough to direct their blows wherever an opening can be found, put far more force in those blows, and make the taking advantage of its good features. Yet the body blow is by long odds the most damaging. Its effect it dazes badly, does not harm. Formerly a large portion of knockouts were scored by clean-cut body blows. At times, the ball is thrown extremely small. In all probability therein lies the reason that modern glovemen are inferior to those of a decade ago, and accounting for that white hopes lay in development. Even those who favor the body blow are far from being capable exponents of its use. They employ the same swinging arm and head. This is necessarily awkward and does not produce effective results. A half-arm jolt or jumpless grip is often the head. Corbett and Sharkey is the most effective style, but this blow cannot be developed by swinging the arm. A directly opposite set of muscles are required in delivering it, and as the average boxer neglects to develop them, he is often the most successful. When a modern boxer scores heavily with a body blow it is usually a straight right for the heart—a punish that can be avoided by a jolt. Jack Britton, Leach Cross, Frank Klaus, Eddie McCorydon and Gunboat Smith all use this blow well, in none of them ever hit the head with half-arm jolt delivered at close quarters. STRINGER GRAND LODGE OF MASONS Closed Successful Meeting in Canton Charles Banks Makes His Final Canton, Miss., December 5. The thirty-eighth annual convoction of the Most Worshipful Stringer Grand Lodge of Masons, which closed at an early hour some of the most noted men in the State will meet next December in Tupelo, Miss. Through the business methods of Hon. Charles Mason, the Masonic Benefit Association, confidence has been fully restored and the lodge has fallen out but returned in large numbers. Returning in large numbers, the Masonic Benefit Association the condition of the department, giving full information on all questions, has been fully complimented on the work he has done through difficulties during the past year and has held the office. It been an uphill task. There was no report made in the grand lodge which attracted so much attention, but the work of the committee hined on the report and the condition of that department. With the effort of the lodge, that $60 had been settled since June had to do with the ovation which was given the secretary. Banks was declared to face what Morgan was to the financial world. Baptist Union-Review, Nashville, Tenn., also delivered an address. There were many changes in the laws IMPRESSIONS OF KENTUCKY. (By Ralph W. Tyler.) Special to THE FREEMAN. Included in the local Negro Business League at Lexington are the very best lawyers in the city, with a majority of residence. No city can boast of a larger and better pharmacy than the one here, over which Dr. Ballard presides as the city's chief pharmacist. There a most skillful surgeon than Dr. Hunter, or a better business man than J. C. ackson. One thing which improves the quality of life for the community harmony was that in spite of the strong bid of white merchants and professional men for the trade and practice of colored people, the city's lawyers, colored population that it is their duty to patronize their own race in order to provide places as clerks, bookkeeper, etc., to their clients. Each year are graduated from the schools. Usually the legal profession is the hardest in which men our race can compete, but their lawyers mands. Here in Lexington the colored lawyers are succeeding, and they receive every consideration due a lawyer from Lying within an hour or two ride of Lexington are the towns, Dandridge and whose colored population is one-third or one-half of the total population. In Dandridge, the town is surrounded by New England towns because of the atmosphere of culture and its many beautiful residences, the colored people have a strong sense of community, the most earnest and best equipped colored educators, Professor Bate, principal. In Dandridge, the most busy, the most successful contractor is a colored man, and Dr. Jones is readily acknowledged as the best physicians the towns boasts of. The colored Baptist church here, whose pastor is the best physician in the town, stands to none in the city for size and beauty. Here, too, is evidenced a sign of co-operation. Frankfort, Ky., is kept very much on the map by such energetic capable and able wood, Thomas K. Robb, T. L. Brooks, Rev. Silva, the very efficient principal of the colored schools, the president of Frankfort's spindled colored men and women. As in Lexington, the feeling here existing between only has to observe a little to learn that the condition of the race in Frankfort is rapidly improving, due to the co-operative efforts of the taxpayers, and they own some very valuable property in and around city. And the same is true in Danube, the conservative advancement evidenced in other Kentucky towns. There is apparently a more valuable tax, the taxpayers, and they own some very valuable property in and around city.

Paris then sells along simply with the tide, and the tide at Paris is a lethargic affair. Even among the whites there is an establishment for the colored man who wishes to make a success in business.

ODD FELLOW CHAMPIONS BEAT PYTHIAN DRILL TEAM Captain Genus' Patrilarch Team No. 23 Wins $200 Prize Drill - Crowd 100 (H. W. J.) Before a very enthusiastic crowd the Indianapolis Patriarch Drill Team No. 23 defeated Damon Company No. 1, U. R. K. of P., Tuesday night at Tomlinson hall. The Odd Fellows' company was winner of the first prize at the B. M. C. at Attica, while Captain George A. Cowan was in charge of the famous Pythian team. Captain Robert Genus commanded the tilt of the boat, while Captain George A. Cowan was in charge of the famous Pythian team. Cowan gave an exhibition drill about the endurance of the feet, received many applauses. When Captain Genus appeared on the floor for the regular contest he received rounds of applause from all parts of the hall. The judges, of course, were white, closely scrutinized the team on inspection, after which Genus put his men through some difficult tactics which required him to meet with as favorable inspection as the Odd Fellows. Damon, however, drilled, and the applause gave evidence that it still the popular drill team as before. The prize was $200, which was given to the winner on the platform visitors from out-town, relatives of the officers and fraternal workers. The out-of-town guests were Major Frank L. Smith, Odd Fellows, of Sandusky, Ohio; Major Frank Wright, of Columbus; Harry Puryear, Odd Fellows, of Columbus, Ohio, and Colonel Harry Farley, K. of Columbus, Ohio; and Colonel Harry Farley, K. of Columbus, Ohio.

The best place to obtain the latest styles an dthe most durable shoes for women is Marrott's Shoe Store, 1820 East Washington street. This store has the best price of any store or sale for very low price of any store. That is why it is the largest and best-known shoe store in the city, at Marrott's. The ladies' department is lled with the prettiest styles of women's classiest grade. The store is also the store to the colored shoppers of the city because they are so courteous and appreciative of your trade and always welcome. Miss Annie Mason, a well-known traveling woman, who makes this city her home when she is not on the road,reminds me of the shoes she stores that I have been inside of and have purchased, shoes from during my travels, I have never yet bought a pair of shoes that I have purchased. I have seen three several days ago. It seems that every one likes them and, in fact, every member of my club has bought a pair. Marrott's is the place, I think, to purchase a good pair of shoes for a very young woman who should go and see for herself." NEWS OF CENTRALIA, ILL.
