Nay, my friend—it's not worth while. worth while, A thousand trowns aren't worth a single million. And as for me I have no time to spare For going round with a resentful air, When everywhere I look I see some chance To help him fellow-man with loving glance To help him on, and make the road I run A brighter one, And give the highways dark that lie ahead, That I must tread, Some of the radiant sweetness of the sun. "The shallows murmur, while the deeps are dumb!" Do it now! Tomorrow the opportunity may have passed. Root makes it plain that we cannot "Root for Root" in 1916. And King Merenik is dead again, according to the latest press dispatches from Abysinia. It is simply human nature to distrust a "friend" who is always "cheek by jowl" with your bitterest enemy. Our steering gear is unchanged, regardless of the knocks of discredited politicians, fired officeholders and past and prospective狱卫s. Rev. R. A. Morrissey, a former secretary of the knocks of discredited politicians, has gone over to the Baptists, and has accepted a Baptist assignment at Plymouth, N. C. Thomas Kennedy, formerly editor of the Zanesville (Ohio) Advocate, has too good a town for a good man like Mr. Kennedy to stay away from. As a silencer, the Washington Bee is not in the class of the fellows who manufacture the stuff that punishes guns makers. "More, breer Chase; more 'pep.' Mme. Montessori, the distinguished Italian educator, has won a warm place in the heart of the entire human family because of her kindness and her baby of the future is to be cryless. There is light ahead for us all—if this fanciful dream can be realized. The rapid-fire discussions and quizzes at the National Negro Business League and the Tuskegee Negro Farmers' Conference will continue for the future those gatherings, and Dr. Dr. Washington will continue them as long as the meetings themselves continue, which seems to be forever. Collector Charles W. Anderson and Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson can afford to look at the salary of the President of Switzerland is only $4,000 per annum. Just as we have always said, the black in America is not the "Man Farthest Down." Mrs. eissle Harper has been engaged as the host of events on the Daly Telegram (white), or Youngstown, Ohio. This will solve the problem of a Negro dalk in that section of the western hemisphere, and others along the way and their work will be felt in a thousand helpful ways. "Is the Negro Having a Fair Chance?" by booker T. Washington, is still being read everywhere and is the subject of many articles and books in their society societies of the country. The article originally appeared in the Century Magazine, November, 1912, and has been brought several editions in pamphlet form. There is solemn anything in common between men of generous girth and those who are sting and malicious—like unto the "lean and hungry Casius." Cesar was wise in his day and generation when he was a man of great men who are fat." Here is one individual of class who has put a negative to the ancient fabrication that "nobody loves a fat man." "Man to do his work properly, must be properly fed," says Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, a professor of history at the dietetics. "The girl of the future must know how to cook on scientific principles. Fewer planes and more cook stoves are available than there were another clincher to what we have frequently said as to the importance of domestic science, "the first of all sciences." The Hon. Ralph W. Tyler is whiling away some valuable time writing verbose and pointless sketchy articles in the New York newspaper. The executive committee of the National Negro Business League would prefer to read a pithy essay on the achievements of the Negro Business League I Have Organized," showing charter, list of officers and concrete achievements of the same. A hint to the wise ought to be sufficient. Mrs. Mary E. Washington, the official head of the Household of Ruth in Indiana, would make an admirable chieftain for this great order throughout the country. She is an acknowledged leader in the fraternities of women in the nation. She is a splendid speaker and possesses executive ability. She would be elected next September at Boston, it would be a "feather in the cap" of the Hoosier delegation and a distinct gain to the cause for which the Ruthites stand. "If I Forget," DeKoven Thompson's classical song which Mine, Schumann's and by singing it at her own concerts, is being used largely as a feature in marriage ceremonies all over the country. It is a beautiful composition, stately in its beauty, but in the well-known vaudeville artists are making big hits with it in the best theaters of the land, and the music is found in the parors of the theater in the town. The critics say "If I Forget" will rank for all time with Mendelson's Wedding March, Reginald DeKoven's "O, Promise Me" and "Traumeref." The local newspaper, however small, serves some useful purpose in the church and in the community and due to all interests. It tells, as no other agency can tell, of the progress of the church, the school, the little stores and the businesses in which it is published, dealing with them in a more intimate manner than say outside paper would find any other way to pride and allows the world to know that their town is on the map. In connection with this local paper, the individuals who are general members weekly and a local white daily, to keep in touch with all the news worth while. “Back to the soil” is a slogan that carries weight. To make it as effective as it ought to be, you must make country life more and more attractive to men and women; the business aspect of agriculture must be increased to the farmer direct, so that he will be able to offer wages for farm help that will offset the apparently high cost of farming. The subject is a big one and should engage the attention of sociologists and economists. It was on the right track in making this “back to the farm” slogan the principal feature of his annual address at the Philadelphia meeting of the National growers' association, hammering at it, making it into every conceivable occasion where the problem of living is open for discussion. William Anthony Aery, the genial and versatile farmer, the champion sitting as our sincere thinks on the “Founders' Day Address” on “General Samuel Chapman Armstrongs, by the founder of the Albany Academy, Albany, N. Y. The pamphlet offers a vivid reflex of the useful life, high purpose and solid achievements of the great educator and soldier of the African people, unrevealed to the reading public, Mr. Aery has been very kind to the members of the newspaper fraternity in supplying them with the news upon the Negro problem, and he is one of the few white men in this country who do not hesitate to mingle with colored men, and to publicly forge of being mistaken for a Negro. Such broad-minded, Christian gentlemen as Mr. Aery are "the salt of the earth." He is a member of the National Negro Press Association. The Tuskegee Annual Negro Farmers' Conference this year bids fair to be the most interesting conference of the Tuskegee Institute January 21 and 22, and the principal theme for discussion will be "Fifty Years of Negro Farmers' remarkable advancement in agriculture will be shown by parades, in which the ancient and modern methods of farm management will be displayed, Conservation of Health" will be thoroughly analyzed by the Workers' Conference on the 2nd, and conference meetings will from all sides be held, the South, and this year the attendance will be large than ever before. Plain elbows in perfect sympathy, each looking to be benefited by the brotherly contact. Dr. Washington will conduct his unique personal visit, is one of the real treats of the occasion. Hugh E.

He may also take a turn at the practice of law and his ex-henriess that stairwalt journalist and versatile business factor, Noah D. Thompson, who conducts the Los Angeles Laborer in the real estate business enterprises, Mr. Macbeth is a young man of rare energy and engaging personality, and should make good out on the where they say "money grows on trees." It is a waste of precious time to bandy words with a bonehead editor who is unable to distinguish news difference between politically distrustful news story and advocacy of party politics. The proof of a man's metal teeth in the forehead that has been his or her emergerent Atlanta speech in 1895, Dr. Washington has been in the limelight by night and by day, and not once has he himself set out nor has he disappointed the expectations of the friends who have given him their moral and material support. Dr. Washington is the National Negro Business League last August had the pleasure of viewing a poster of the "Salem," which carried Emmet J. Scott and his fellow members of the famous Liberian Commission to Monrovia, to investigate conditions in the Liberian Emancipation celebrations must develop few scandals, or there will be a decided slump in the legislative appropriations for the same.

No stronger argument can be used in its favor, than people who have tried almost, than known thing for promoting hair growth, such as cones, which have no trouble results, have found that "Gloss-O" only will do what other things are said to do-grow hair.

During the Year Many Business Men and Women Have Been Invited to Address the Student Body. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE. Ala. Dec. 22—Tuskegee Institute, during the present year, has been invited successful colored business men and women to deliver talks on the importance of something of their efforts in establishing themselves in business and as to how they have succeeded. This series of talks was given the 13th-18, by Mr. W. A. Wallace, a successful baker, located on State street, Chicago, Ill. Mr. Wallace has struggled against many hard conditions but has placed his business upon a very During his visit to Tuskegee, Mr. Wallace spoke to the teachers and students employed in the institute boarding, teaching, and student education in the assembly room, Academic building; to the young women of Dorothy hall, where the girls' industries are located; to the young women being permitted to met with the Tuskegee's Woman's Club, where he also spoke. He was also present at the meeting of the teachers and students of the evening, December 20, and took part in the discussion of a paper by Mr. D. C. Smith, auditor of the institute, entitled "Foundation of the idea that Industrial Education is an Interior Sort of Education." Mr. Wallace spoke in part as follows: "The baking business in this country, and the ingredients that do to make up the material that compose the composition of the cakes, cakes, etc., is being given the attention of experts in scientific and chemical analysis, as to the effects of various wheats and other ingredients which they obtain practical results of the product of their mills and thus are in position to say to the public how our flour will do what we leam. "Millions of dollars are invested by large concern in the best business of producing the best baking in the cheapest manner. For instance, we have in our parts the great bakery in the best business of producing the bakeries in many large cities; the Helsley-Jungle Co. Schultz and Co. and H. H. Kohlsaas in this business and all doing a business, giving employment to hundreds of men and women, and creating through this means the most profitable individuals combined and operated by their selected heads. "There are some concerns that make a speciality of one thing. For instance, Martin Pie Coe, and another, making nothing but doughnuts, demonstrating that the industry has its many branches, jointly handled. Out of this condition there has come to us the lesson that out of co-operation and cooperation of a realization of beneficial returns, than in individual efforts on small means. This has been thoroughly demonstrated in all branches of the industry, and wheels in making this country roll on to prosperity and development. "In order to expand our business and provide ourselves with larger facilities for our students and for others, I concluded to form a corporation, so on the 25th day of August, 1908, we incorporated the money panic was over the country and at the end of about twelve months we found ourselves doing business. A heavy problem was on our hands; a heavy weight on our hearts. I called directors' meetings and we found the business in sight. Finally, I concluded this thing must not fall on my hands. Out of this hole we found the business to another location, and in one year turned the tide, cleared up the indebtedness, paid back the money, and founded the capital invested. In our fight for existence, we have had to contend with unpaid bills, with knocks because we were Negroes, with distrust from our own people and feudous from others, but by the help of God whom we serve, we have gone "Two years ago we recapitulated for a larger amount of our work, and we learned of the larger business. "This part of my talk I shall consider merely that he who dares is he who does. I am a graduate of a college in Pennsylvania know that he is permitted that fact to in- "A good pie baker is a prize worth having and appear to be scarce in our parts. How do we make them both good and cheap; for private family baking will not do in the bake shop, among ordinary people, but in a bakery with a high quality. I see in the baking business large opportunities, for in most colored companies, we can work with white bakeries. Because of the lack of opportunity to work in these shops, or to work in a bakery, we ought not to be. We should be able to furnish ourselves with any article we use. "In conclusion I will say my years of experience in the bakery business. There is no reason why we should not out the country hundreds of bakeries managed by Negroes in which millions of dollars of our capital could be invested for the benefit of our people would receive employment. DOINGS IN THE "QUEEN CITY." CINCINNATI. O.—Brigadier General Joseph L. Jones of the Knights of Columbus, a Catholic organization through the East and South. He reports that the protest of the order against the company is the emblem of the B. & O. Railroad Company of Baltimore, earnest consideration by the officials of the company, and that in all probability the company will be prominent in the effort to segregate the colored citizens of Baltimore. He is humiliated over the victory of the Knights of Columbus, and it has been decided that colored Pythians have as much right to the name as anybody else. A Washington he conferred with W. Thomson on National Press Association matters. The Central Regalia Company is get-together with the Groz Press Association, and it is stated that they will be ready for distribution of this insignia, the use of this insignia the members of the Press Association will have their enquiries recognized in newspaper and clive circles.

KNOX, BUSINESS MANAGER. SATURDAY, JAN. 3, 1914. MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION The Advocate of Portland, Ore., got out a splendid Christmas number. It went West, and grew up with the country. The issue is illustrative of the best of that community. It is a credit to the management and to the race. R. W. Thompson, the Freeman correspondent, is still doing business at the old stand. He has not been squealed, as a contemporary felt to say—either fro mthe inside or out—neither spiritually or by "physical" threats. The report that the will of the late Robert R. Church has been broken has been denied. The Memphis Sun is very much wrought up about the matter. It had this recently to say: "We weigh our word; the will left by Mr. Church has not been broken by any act of the courts of Tennessee, nor has his will been in question before any court in Tennessee or in any commonwealth. News to the contrary is false and misleading, and at ugly variance with the facts. If we are permissible to advance an opinion we will say that in all likelihood that document, now the tattler's toy and the gossip's morsel, will not suffer change by order, finding or decisions of the courts of law of Tennessee, nor nor ever." Not much is heard in these days of the segregation business at Washington, D. C. It is being said that the administration has given in to the demands of the Negroes who made a most vigorous fight on segregation by the government. We understand that the old order is practically restored, that but very little remains to remind one of discrimination at the hands of the government. We have conceded much owing to the influence of prejudice, but to see it exhibited by the government, and especially when uncalled for, is a thing of the almost past conception. We are glad to know that we enter the new year with changed relations in this particular. There can be no hope if the government also "piles on." England seems to think that the fortifying of the Panama Canal route is too much of a sign of proprietorship. This international business is a bit queer. Our country has conceded that there be equality of toll rates, a concession in the spirit of fairness to the shipping interests of other countries, notwithstanding our virtual right to do as we saw fit because it was our money that built the canal. Our country, however, refused this narrow view; reconsidered the act of exemption of American vessels. Fortification of the canal appears an advantage of course, and as it should be War, in our opinion, is not anticipated, but we do not need any vulnerable points, just as other countries do not need them. Following are some lynching statistics noted in a report from Chicago: In the forty-four lynchings the victims of all but one were Negroes, and all but two of the cases occurred in Southern States. No woman was included among the year's victims. North Dakota and Montana were the North Dakota and Montana in which lynchings occurred. At Ray, N. D., Cleve Culbertson, a white man, accused of the murder of three persons, was taken from jail by a mob and hanged. The only other case in a Northern State occurred at Mondak, Mont., in April, when J. C. Collins, a Negro, who shot and killed the sheriff and deputy sheriff of the county, was hanged by a mob. The States in which the lynchings occurred during the year and the number in each were as follows: Alabama, 2; Arkansas, 1; Florida, 4; Kentucky, 1; Louisiana, 4; Mississippi, 1; Montana, 1; North Carolina, 1; North Dakota, 1; South Carolina, 1; Tennessee, 2 and Texas, 6. There was at least one lynching for every month in the year, August, the hottest month, leading with 8. Following are the lynchings by months: January, 3; February, 5; March, 3; April, 1; May, 2; June, 4; July, 4; August, 8; September, 4; October, 1; November, 4 and December, 5. Double lynchings were at Blanchard, La.; Cornelia, Ga.; and Pauls Valley, Okla. At Houston, Miss., two Negroes were lynched a day apart, both being accused of complicity in the same crime. At Drew, Miss., a Negro was lynched by members of his own race after he had shot and killed two Negro women and two Negro men. Murders Chief Cause. As in previous years, murders of white persons and crimes or alleged crimes against white women caused most of the summary executions. The murders were in the big majority, however, and the number of cases in which attacks on women were charged showed a gratifying decrease over the four lynchings. Nineteen of the victims of the 44 lynchings were accused of the murder of white men. Four were charged with murdering white girls or women. Attempted criminal assault is on record as responsible for nine of the lynchings. Two Negroes were lynched for frightening white women, one for insulting a white woman and another for being found concealed under the bed in a woman's room. Two Negroes were lynched for shooting or assaulting white men, one for robbery and shooting, one for assisting a Negro murderer to escape and another for horse stealing. In one case the crime charged against the victim was not stated. SAMUEL M. LEWIS DEAD. Samuel Mallory Lewis of St. Paul, Minn., after a lingering illness of about three years, died at his home in that city Sunday, December 28. Formerly he lived in Indianapolis. This was about twenty years ago. He has resided in St. Paul the better part of these absent years, being employed in the Pullman sleeping car service. Mr. Lewis was one of a group of brothers who were well known in Indianapolis to the older citizens. He was educated in the public schools of this city. The surviving brothers are William M. Lewis, editor of The Freeman; John Lewis, a newspaper man of St. Louis, Mo., and Lawrence Lewis, and St. Louis. His father were Betty and Cyrus Lewis, well known as among the old residents of Indianapolis. His immediate family was his wife, Glenora, a daughter and son, Bertha and Leslie, who survive him. He's simply answered the common summons. R. H. Colerane, the colored man recently elected to the City Council of Winchester, Ky., has resigned as a member of that body because the white members refused to sit with him. According to report they failed to show up on the day they were to sworn in; in this to embarrass the colored brother. Colerane went before a notary public, who administered him a sworn in sign by the white members. He did so. At first blush this seems a high-handed piece of injustice, and it is. We do not have many cases so flagrant as that. Perhaps there has never been a case of the kind before, at least in recent years. "It is out there." However, it is only one of the things that make for our great race prob- RESOLVE A BIT. New Year's resolutions are in order, as they have been for lo! these many years. Doubtless they have been made by this time and kept until this time. Of course, most of us will keep them for a longer period—some of them. Nothing is lost in resolving, even if we fail in sticking as closely as possible to our actions. Influence that goes out from a change will go on and on—building better than we know. There are always spectators to our actions. The world is made up that way. We may say that we are not influenced in our activities, that we are independent, and all that, yet in the most part our activities are the incorporated activities of others, many others. Everything heard or seen leaves an impress which swerves us this way or that way. We are not the ones who solves of a few days are infections. They pass on to our neighbors, who pass them on through their changed attitudes. Resolve a bit. GOVERNOR RALSTON'S RESOLUTION Governor Ralston of Indiana is becoming noted for his great community interest and civic pride. And he is happy in his expressions along those lines. As to his resolution for 1914 he gave out the following: "It is my resolution for 1914 to stand officially for better sanitary conditions; for a cleaner citizenship; for a stronger bond of fellowship between men; for the preservation of the rights of organized society at any cost; for a greater efficiency in the public service; for the possibilities of American citizenship. These things are essential to the happiness of the people. And the great function of government is to promote the happiness of the people." REV. DR. E. C. MORRIS HONORED. Rev. Dr. E. C. Morris, president of the National Baptist Convention, has been named as one of the American committee announced for the celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the signing of the Treaty of Ghent between Great Britain and the United States. This is a signal honor, and worthly bestowed. Dr. Morris is a distinguished representative of his race and a great churchman. His worth and usefulness has exceeded denominational limitations. He has the respect and confidence of his race generally. Among this committee of which Dr. Morris is a member are: Oscar S. Strauss, member of the Roosevelt Cabinet, member American ambassador to Turkey and Progressive nominee for Governor of New York in 1912; Charles Page Bryan, former American ambassador to Japan and minister to Portugal; Dr. Henry S. Drinker, president of Lehigh University; Henry C. Morris of Chicago, former United States consul to Ghent; former Governor Frank S. Street, of New Hampshire; Thomas B. Raydon, one of the few leading scandents of a signer of the Treaty of Ghent; General J. Warren Keifer of Springfield, Ohio, former Speaker of the House of Representatives; Dr. Albert Shaw, editor of Review of Reviews. THE ROLL OF THE LYNCHED FOR 1913 The roll of the lynched for the past year, according to what may be considered good authority, was forty-four. We say "good authority" advisedly, having in mind other reports which were materially different, yet seemingly of good authority. The number of the lynched -44 is given as beyond doubt. This means that the reports that are at variance are not without some foundation. A change for the better has been going on for the last eight or ten years, until this present year, when the record is the lowest. In other years there have been recorded upwards of 300 persons whose lives were taken without the sanction of the law. The Negro race can well afford to feel pleased at this year's record in face of all that has happened in the fifty years after the war. There is more than one reason why we cannot rejoice to see this "civil ban" blown up. It will take 95 to 99 per cent of those lynched were Negroes. In fact, in some of the THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER. years, not a single white man was unlawfully dealt with. This was a terrible reflection on the race. No Negro was so callous, so indifferent or so ignorant as not to feel the sting of disgrace, knowing that he was of a kind beyond the law's protection—the very outcast of society. No Negro was so great as to escape the terrible race arrangement—"weighed in the balances and found wanting"—was that indictment, even if it did come through malignation and false accusation. History may record the facts of injustice and rebel a situation. The admission of one's inhumanity does not change a job or title. We mean to say that in many cases to establish the fact of injustice practiced rightens the wronged, brings about the thing hoped for, contempt and punishment going one way and justice and restoration going the other way. But it has not been so as it seems in the lynching business. There has been but little shame manifested over the lynching practice by those engaged in every little repentance. The unrighteous practice was known, but not help our standing. The unrighteous practice was known, it did not do very much toward deterring those engaged in it. There was no such thing as retributive justice—our loss was absolute. Then again the race suffered because the alleged cause for lynching was that most infamous thing—raping. The charge was not sustained. Only a very small per cent, of the accused were charged with that crime, not to speak of the possibility of error. Thus subjected to lynching, accused of raping, the Negro nation was stunned by the death of its civil growth. We wore the John Bunyan jacket. It's responsibility was elsewhere. However, the race is happy enough to see it diminishing by any means whatsoever. We will not overlook the press of this country, the white press, and which stands for the best America, in its efforts to silence the mob. It was not as effective as it could have been, yet had it not been for its efforts the "heathen" would have still been raging. We cannot forget the attitude state and civilized showed the mob their angry frowns. The pulpit and public-spirited men are to be considered. Before this combination the mob spirit lost its firm hold. This combined opposition was of the more recent years, and which together with the Negroes' efforts, have done the work. The Negroes' education, their law-abiding spirit, their high conception of citizenship, their increasing moral sentiment, their fearlessly exerted power, their deceeless demand for right, has helped in their endeavor to stand confused and abashed. It was never a necessity. That has been thoroughly proven. NEWS OF FULTON, KY (By J. L. Worthington, 306 Holder St.) During this month The Freeman will be $1 a year. MADISONVILLE, KY. (By Floyd I.

Two Comedians Brimming With Fun Willie Glenn and Walter Brogsdale are a couple of boys that are "out there," a couple of boys that are "comelands," but they remind one very much of us. Willie Glenn plays his comedy in such a way. WALTER BROGSDALE, WILLIE GLENN. that it answers also for straight. His comedianism is of a fine order, having that natural effect which is another term for his wit. His mannerisms—little hesitations in his speech, inflection, repetitions such as are noted of persons we meet daily. Walter Brogsdale is good, especially when he turns doctor and prescribes for Glenn's allment. Their work house, and hospital stunt is thoroughly funny. In the windup Glenn does a piece of wrench business. Both are seen here in WALTER BROGSDALE, WILLIE GLENN. a stunt done to the tune of "If a Body Meets a Body Coming Through the Movement is a sort of a slow drag, grotesque, a funnaker all right. They sing "Colored Aristocracy" and "I Am Sick as I Can which are put on in good style. They are good all the way through; they get the applause. Stone and Stone open up with a breezy talk. The female member of this team tells the male member of the dian. That is what makes interesting and funny. And that is what makes a hit with the audience. The goers are looking for something different to what they have seen and heard. Miss Stone is also something of a fan. She tells the male member a Man, an old song, but deverely done, "Sugar Toe" and "Samantha," as they call one another, have another talking. They pull off a parting scene that gets the house to velling. Here again is a bit of acting rather true to what's often seen. The male member sing "All the Litle Tits" and "All the Tits." This is followed by a well-done monologue. In the parting song a bit of blues enters, making for the rather sad effect. The act is well received. VIRGIE RICHARDS. Songstress. Virgile Richards is a girl from "down East." She was formerly of the "Seven Composers" Compo Set. She gives three singing numbers, which are artistically done. Miss Richards is of good form, which, together with her pretty costumes and pretty makeup, make for a splendid stage appearance. She sings "Sailing Down Chesapeake Bay," which includes a bit of that all the rage tango. In singing "Hello, Mr. Moon," she introduces a scene of the moon and stars, and sings the gray and carolina. Her plaintive song. She gives in the two sons a good exhibition of two styles of singing—the gray and carolina. It is her third number. This is also prettily done. Miss Richards gives a refined entertainment, interesting and pleasing all through. CINCINNATI (O) THE TRICALS. The Lincoln Haa Successful Opening Pekin Doing, Business as Usual. Dreams of a decade by the Negroes of this city were realized Christmas eve, when the Lincoln theater was opened for the first time. The small theater agitation struck this city the probability of a first-class small theater being opened in the west end of the city. The city's population has been one of the chief topics. Several attempts have been made from time to time to interest enough colored actors to fill the seats and sand dollars in such a scheme, but in this as in most other things they could not see their way clear to start it. About six years ago, Mr. Olive Demes- vey, who had been the most active fitting to interest his fellow colored citizens in the theatrical movement, without success, opened up a little nickelodeon on West Fifth street by himself. Of course, the same old cry went up from some that was to be of a very short business life. For several months he had nothing but moving pictures as an attraction. As discrimination continued to grow in the larger amusement houses, a demand was made by the patrons of the Pekin theater for something of a vaudeville character in the evening where they could attend without coming in contact with that nautical prejudice that is so prevalent in all the playhouses of this city on account of a man's color. Mr. Bemeson finally yielded to the appeal of the patrons of his house and booked a number of good acts that proved successes. Mr. Galther, another one of Cincinnati's enterprising citizens, made the second venture in this line, but was compelled to close his house by the order of the building inspector, who claimed the house was not fireproof. An attempt was made a few years ago to open the Lyceum thaer exclusively for colored people. They went there the first week, looked the place over and went back to the Pekin, and have been there ever since. About two years ago the ground was broken in the Lincoln theater at Fifth and John streets. The proof building was erected at this corner, and the doors were thrown open to the Christmas eve. There were three large dwellings were built in a large room on the opening night. The interior of the house is a dream of perfection, with large windows. The doors are ranged as not to interfere with the exit of people. Two large side exits on John street are available in case of fire or for emergency evacuation. The woodwork, including the fine seats, is all of mahogany finish. The roof with a balcony can be about 60. The seating capacity of the house is about 600. There is a beautiful little room in the rooms under it. Every one who has seen the Lincoln says it is the prettiest little playhouse in the city. The well-known manager and performer, has been engaged as manager, and he was there all the time. He can be on hand to render whatever assistance he could for the opening. A large crowd was in waiting several hours before the time for the first show. The house soon was ready. The Lincoln orchestra, consisting of Mr. Charles Alexander, piano; Mr. Harry W. Charles, bass; Mr. Wm. H. Brown, drums, rendered some beautiful selections during the evening. Three pretty girls were engaged in charge as chief usher, and the charge as chief usher, Mr. John Austin was in charge of the door, and Mrs. Smith was in charge of the door, and the veteran manager, Thomas Nobby Gales, had the performers all ready for without a single vaudeville moved without a single mime. After several beautiful pictures by the Lincolgraph the first vaudeville sketch was put on the bill and Malone, who was cleverly done. Miss Teresa Burmah is well known for some clever singing and dancing. She is a talented former and was loudly applauded. The closing number on the bill was Tim and the audience was very impressed. Peared that the audience would never tire of them. Mrs. Moore has a good friend, the house, by the courtesy shown on the bill. The manager are well satisfied with the first attendance. If the opening is any criticism of the nature the Lincoln is an assistant to the manager. The Pekin theater has a good, strong book week, and did a packed business. The people the people go from one to the other. This little house with a good bill, together with the teachers, will always find plenty of business.

John Dennis writes from Athens, Tex. We are still doing capacity biz in Texas. We are doing the same in Florida, of playing a colored theater, owned and managed by Mr. J. C. Long, a highly experienced playwright, foremost in all financial enterprises, motion pictures and polite vaudeville. Our band and our orchestra are managed by Mr. Smith. A soloist of rare ability. New songs are being released for our new future. We are managed by our near future. We all send regards to the profession. J. W. Dennis sends regards to Chas. English, the Boyds, Al and Venable and Owens, a sister team, are the openers at the Pekin Theater this week, with a good turn. The ladies have costly costumes, good voices and are well-trained. Broford and Jennette, another new team playing over this time. This act is one of the good ones and should be heard from further up the line. They have a good singing, dancing and talking turn. The Lincoln Theater started on its second week with the Foster Player playground picture, that attracted an unusual bill for the night show. They have a good bill for the night show, which the Grady, who shows up so well in the moving picture, has a clever turn in the olor; she sings and dances well. Our audience is still making them laugh; he has a host of friends here who gave him a grand home boy, and Benjamin the Porter, our own home boy, and Benjamin the closing number with a clever turn.
