WHAT THEY THINK OF US ABROAD. Glasgow, Scotland, Jan. 2, 1914. Editor The Freeman: Please allow me space in your valuable paper to express my sincere sorrow at the loss of the journalists in not establishing news agencies in foreign countries to advocate the rights of the British and foreign people think that the American Negroes are in a state of insurrection and are being led to be heathen, rapists of white women, indolent, ignorant, worthless pests, only fit to be feathered, tarred, shot or killed. The Negroes are apparently known here to the masses is the Negro who can sing, dance, sell newspapers at street corners, box, wrestle or fight. American Negro journalists, planters, financiers, bankers, real estate agents, merchants, and tradesmen are entirely out of the runin. Ministers—well, I must say there begging money for the heathen Negro of America and getting money for the heathen, which he would use for his own imminent death. I am not in such high esteem as formerly. I say, let religion alone if you can't send men into foreign countries. Send out your journalists, not the mild, blind ones, but the rankest men against yellow and guttered people, to the world know what you are doing commercially, financially, culturally. Send out journalists who are not afraid to spend a dollar or two for gleaning news for their paper, as much deed as they can press that will give a black man full and hearty credit for merit? Not in Europe, can assure you—and you know it is not worth it. If a Negro commits a grave offense in America to day it is flashed across here for school boys and girls and other millions to read that same day, so that is the way the black people who are better than the black people who are cated and embittered against us, while our journalists stand meekly and whining by shaking in their hands to keep the interest and bushel. Let the world be your field, as well as the field of the white man, for Be business-like. Note this: I sent to an American newspaper, got three letters, was sent and a half months prior to the date I sent the money. I promised sample people, good standing, who never arrived, published by colored people. These sample copies never came to hand. I have never been published to my knowledge. The way I came to know this, a kind-hearted man, was from Mobile, Ala. The editor nor the manager never did so. Is that business? Mr. Editor, I am open to answer questions. I will edit or newspaper manager wishes to editor or newspaper manager wishes to the way of news of interest published here. We have a colored inland revenue officer here in Glasgow, also a colored stage manager here in Brown, also a naval chemist, Mr. Tucker. The colored press is the hope of our race. Turn on the light! I shall be pleased to receive sample copies of all colored newspapers from the publishers, or I will establish sales agencies for regular supplies of papers from the publishers, or I will accept correspondents in the United States or elsewhere who wish news clippings and other useful materials from the correspondence in the interest of the race.

The best charity is industrial justice, which would make alms mostly unnecessary, but would make others an equal chance with ourselves. The profoundest charity ever realized is the social justice wrought by Lloyd Green, an unrealized green realization unrealized charity in sight is Winston Churchill's proposal that Germany and Britain shall stop for a year or more the building of dreadnaughts and deeds millions saved to the social settlement. Next best is the "new charity" that brings to the poor "not alms but a charity" that is more generous than a needy neighbor too much to pauperize him by gifts when we might help him to earn money. In China, often traversed by careless American tourist who throw pennies to children, swarm with beggars thus created a kind of altruism.

Fifty years ago it was unlawful to issue a patent to a slave and the Attorney-general of the United States has issued a patent to Scott decision, patent might still be issued to free persons of color. Since that time about 1,000 patients have been issued a patent, they have mostly been mechanical appliances and labor-saving devices. Some of the things which Negroes have invented during the war, for example, a hydraulic scrubbing brush, a weight motor for running machinery, aeroplanes, an automatic car switch and an feed attachment for adding machines. Fifty years ago it was unlawful for a Negro to be employed in the postal service; for, in 1810, when the Postoffice Department was organized, it was enacted a penalty of $100 for another than a free, who person shall be played in carrying the mail of the United States. A carriage carrying the mail. There are now more than 3,950 colored persons in the government postal service. Altogether there are now over 22,400 Negroes in the employ of the United States government. The cortege of Major John C. Buckner of Chicago, who died recently, was one long, in Chicago, in his decisive role of President Lincoln and Mark Carter Harrison.

The result will be satisfactory and interested and remove all danger of a bitter contest at the General Conference. Charles E.

Va., at the time of the John Brown raid and sent the telegraph that announced Brown's attack on the United States arsenal at Harper's Ferry. The American Negro has resided in his soul and his every movement is attuned to rhythm. From far-off Africa weird chants and minor chords are his favorite forms. The institutions of the Southern States was blended into an exotic folk lore a curious superstitious religious fervor, and mixed of these elements, the race has evolved a music all its own. Two hundred "striking" students of Stau University were entered on the campus of the institution "dishonorably dismissed." They had had a limited time in which to apply for the position. They were obliged to vacate the dormitories at once. About 250 students remain in good standing, these being the male biological students and girls in the university. In refusing to go on with recitations last Saturday the students rebelled against President Mozelle, the fight being to force Dr. Mozelle from the presidency, after declares that he was at the altar during the institution during his natural life. He has the full support of the American Baptist Missions Board, which controls and maintains the university, and of the people of this city.

The National Biscuit Company is the trust which advertises the soda cracker put up in a small paper box. Until last week it employed a number of colored men as drivers and porters. One week ago Mr. Gus Williams, who had been in the company's employer for nine years, and told him that "Negro employees are not wanted any longer. That policy is not good, but that the policy of the company was to discontinue employment of Negroes. Col. John R.

There is no city in Dallas where the colored people are making greater progress, and where the opportunities for development are better than right here in the city. The 12½ per cent population of this city is 12½ per cent, colored, and they are about as thrifty and progressive a per cent of the total population of this city as the West. A conservative estimate of the capital colored men have invested in business here and in the amount of real estate owned by the race in this city at $200,000. This is more than a splendid health of $250, which is surely a splendid people a whopee but a fifty years removed from abject slavery, city carefully investigating conditions, calling on the business men, visiting the schools and the colleges, and investigating the city that is rapidly approaching the 100,000 population mark. I found they have a splendid school system sere, and that is surely progress making at high tide. The 32 colored school teachers here are in rapid development, and in Prof Davis, and in Prof Davis, the no better principal anywhere. The colored man is represented in business here, the following business undertakes: Fintan Hillman, concrete stone manufacture, theater, transfer and storage, hair dressing, hospitality, pressing, undertaking, cafe, etc. There is one noticeable characteristic in the business of the colored man that his business isismusian and huskie. In Kengo Stewart, who conducts a profitable real estate business and a concrete stool manufacture, establishment, and equipment initiative and enthusiasm follow in any movement looking for the better; especially along material lines. In Roberts, who conducts the only installation furnishings collected in a colored man in the city and market, one of the very aggressive business men who, starting from nothing, has built up his business into an own large and commodious building. Henry Bell, who is easily the most successful transfer man in the city, has built up his business in the hotel, hotel hotel, conducted by that veteran face, Henry Black, who at one time was the grocery business colored men are making good, for the four groceries conducted by F. Gibson, L. M. Moore, Henry Hart, F. Gibson, L. M. Moore, Cash, are prosperous establishments. Evansville has four Negro physicians, two attorneys and one dentist to make sure these are the people these have every reason to be satisfied with their location in this city. As a rule a nattice Washingtonian, when he encounters no professional field in the incumbent's capital, where the field is overly crowded. J. H. Wilson, an old Wash.-Ind. law professor at the University, is one exception to the rule for he located in this city and is doing fine, his popularity and success here being very encouraging. His law offices, as well as his law firm Jiles, another Howard alumnus, are located in the new Pythian Temple, and in appointment and for it is library complements for families with best white attorneys' offices in the city. The new Pythian Temple not only is a monument of progress itself, but it is a great city, and its erection has served greatly to accelerate the development of women and women of Bryansville. It is a three-story brick building, having two storeys with a large auditorium on the second floor and lodges rooms occupying the top floor. It is naturally located, in doing a very great work in Evansville and is an attractive point for men, both young and old, to congregate. If we have any aspirations above the course of our aims and ideals are other than that we shall not happen that we shall feel ourselves out with our society. It is not always a chance that we should bring loneliness, and unless we are shrewd self-reliant, loneliness is one of life's self-reliant, the condition also needs courage, and morale is a very rare gift. Many persons lower their tone voluntarily because they are afraid of loneliness, because they fear being thought to stand alone, because they long for sympathetic interpersonal contact to stand alone, to be unpunctual or misunderstood, to be resarded as an outcast, to be uncompetent, to crave companionship, and, sadly enough, often this natural and most whole-one matters where self-surrender in matters where self-surrender feat. Our human sympathies, our long-held desire to be a good comrade, our desire to be a good comrade to a sudden or a gradual degradation: to a sudden or a gradual degradation: to a big things also slip from us. Is the surrender inevitable if we would take our place by the side of others, if we were to be married as paradee or as friend? There is a reason for bility that we yield too much and too readily; there is the possibility that we are in a high price something that is not worth the loss of friendship, the comradeship that can be secured only by loss of what we conceive of as the good, our true womanhood, may, perhaps, the current gain, an inadequate purchase. The best things in life, the noblest friend—that is, the companionship, can never be attained. If loneliness must come our own best. If loneliness must come sometimes—because, as the poet says, "The lonely one is overmeer the king—that the lonely one is overmeer the own dignity and its own compensation. It is good to stand apart and think for our own companies are talking baseness on us, and better to have the comradeship of high-thinking, their thought are all of idleness, their thought are all of idleness, ought not to set ourselves apart as better than they are—it is never our place to be different. We sometimes recognize that we are different if we aim at being different. We have to be a gay gathering in a drawing-room; we have respect for our own individuality; we have magnetism. We may be in it, yet not of may bear, yet need not echo its words. We must not allow that rule to be changed by shifting outside influences. Some- it is quite enough to be silent. But there are natures whose scorn will be inefficient support, and who have too much opposition. The very air that they breathe seems against them—the permanent oppression of their individuality. Little by little the aims and ideals are surrendered themselves that after all a life of moral or intellectual medicity may be beaten. The very virtues of family affection and perhaps of lurking humility may eb against a man in such a struggling, his desire to be his fellow's and to achieve their apparent affection with things as they are. The virtues of life, the imperfect culture, the defective honor, sometimes the empty talk, the foolish or coarse jest, the make-up of a man who is degraded, the sore oppression on a spirit that should have been destined to higher things. But a time may come when the degraded individual realizes, with sense of failure is lost; when the individual who might have lived his own crowd, undistinguished by any exceptional ability, any fine culture, any nourishment, an inferior comradeship; he is no longer looked upon as one apart. In some measures it may not say how much the individual has been killed. THE NEGRO A WORLD QUESTION Comparative History of the Racial Struggle. 74 St. Mungo Street, Glassport, Scotland, Jan. 8, 1914. Editor Titian We want is more representative colored men throughout the British Isles and possessions, and more representative the British people are partially aware of the intellectual attainments of the East Indians, as a great many of these and even South Africans convey here. They always excel in their studies, but singularly, they all go back to their native languages, and they are educated. Very few settle in the British Isles. Of course, the Americans have institutions and instructors of their own and do not use them. They are not structured, yet the American black is looked upon as being the most illiterate, most brutal and less tuffly of all of god's culture. It is simply British and American white prejudice and united determination to superior to themselves and in no respect inferior, for at heart the colored races of men are honest, kind and noble and most unselfish except to his own. And American united determination to slander, I mean it is determined to the United States assaults or is allied to the United States woman or girl, be it true or not, it is flashed across the Atlantic by cable that same day for publication in the united press. If it is a lie, The indolent, selfish and self-satisfied colored journeyman, who is the subject of their news agencies beyond the tip of their own noses, it would seem. White men here are convicted in the punishment for being a pervert with wigs girl children and lashes under 18 and others are guilty of rape. What do they get? From 20 to 30 days the punishment is murdered by a band of lawless flies. Neither are their crimes flashed across the seas. Neither do the American press publish these deeds from the British papers they receive in exchange for their own papers. It is the word. it will open up too much of the superior race's dark deeds. Only the black Americans are lustful — I think the white Americans are colored men's most bitter enemies. It is because they are educated through influence of the yellow gutter men, which I believe in more than they do their Bible. British people do not search for light in weak points and men. They search for weak points and men. They search for their own strongest points. In other countries they search for the richest men, the copper or lead mines, and impoverish the activist and put ignorant soldiers over them at 25 cents a day to reduce their (the national) wealth. Readers, when I look back to the settlement at Jamestown in 1620 and think on the great wealth created for British settlers in 1855, it makes my blood boil like a pot. It is here you see the fruits of the settlement. It is here you see the wrenched from the sweating brows, the mangled and mutilated bodies of a race too noble in heart, mind and principle to be insured by its burdensome and domineeringoke. Why was there not a murmur? They were trusting in God! Yes, trusting in God to destroy the white man, bogy or of keeping the black man, is a matter of faith. We have believed here that there are more black heathens in the United States of America in all the rest of the world combined. Why is this? It is because there is a great difference in the American Negro that no one is willing to make known to the reading public. What has the American Negro not contributed to America that the white man has? It is that he has certainly, but men equally as brilliant. The British and Americans have only made themselves great by stealing from the black men and then spouting their own goodness through the press. The reader or an editor willing to give me the address of a colored historian or a work published by them and then spouting their statistics of the race from 1620 to date? We have one colored tailor here, a Mr. Vivian, a colored historian or a work published by them and then spouting their statistics of the race from 1620 to date? An Indian state official visited Scotland and England a few weeks ago and he and his team spotted 486 railway locomotives. He visited all the big locomotives and engineers' establishments to note. He was accorded a heavy reception. There are a great number of Jap and American colleges here in Glasgow and Elinburgh, which is 42 miles east of Glasgow.

He was born of 18 years and was born at Woodland, Tennessee. The young man has been a resident of this city only a short time and in that time he was a part owner of the trade wonderfully at Perrymans up-to-date cafe on account of his kindly disposition, honesty of purpose, memorabilia his patrons and friends. There are very few qualifications as Mr. Johnson, for he believes in working to the best interests of his employer.

MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! E-President Taft recently had thirty-five suits of clothes cut down to his reduced size. Guess he lost flesh in doing his rapid-change stunt. Who'd a thought the Democratic party could be so strenuous. Verily, the old order changenget. If it keeps on other parties will have no excuse for existing. Mr. George Kennan, the noted Rusian student and magazine writer, is to be the guest of Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee during a good part of the month of February. It appears that we "took" too much when we took Panama from Columbia. And Mr. Roosevelt taught the doctrine that the violation of the law by a big concern was not different to its violation by a little concern. A' law of international spirit was violated, and when we posed as the modern Solon the law giver of the universe. Happy public conscience is aroused. Mayor Law is coming in for great praise by the law-abiding citizens. He promised to clean up the city, and he is doing it. In the raids of last Saturday night and Sunday white people and colored people, men and women, were allike hauled down-town and down-city streets. They are pleased to know that Mr. Bell is not going to be a respecter of persons. Pastor Paul Hentsch enjoys the reputation of being an expert in what pertains to the Negroes of the United States. His interest in us seems real, and such being the case, effort should be made to have as good a showing at the exhibition as it is possible to have. Here is an excellent chance to dispel the illusion that we Negro Americans are heathens. We have several book concerns whose products are not known by any special markings other than those standing for excellence—their products are well edited and well bound, and, of course, indicative of what could be done when tested to the "maximum" severity — "caustic" — from numbers of our publications, we take it, would come under the meaning of the display. We are cordially invited to become a part of a world-wide movement, and which concerns a phase of business which we know fairly well. We will have no excuse for failing in making a showing—a creditable one. So after all there is such a thing as a real public conscience in our country, and which revolts at taking that which does not belong to us regardless of how much we need it, or how weak and insignificant are those from whom we would take it. Colonel Roosevelt felt that he played a fine card when he took the Panama strip. And the canal was so much desired that at the time it was conceded that the ex-President had done a very brilliant thing—a coup d'etat. But at this time it is plain to see that we held up Colombia, virtually bilked it out of its possession. The public has again come into its own. It will not stand for shady transactions, highway robberies and so forth. We are queuing to tell like horse traders, whose virtue is cheating the other fellow. The feeling now is to pay Colombia for what we "took" and also to apologize for what we took. This is no age of feudalism where we can rob citizens or nations, because we are big enough to do so. Mrs. Belle Case La Follette, wife of Senator La Lollette, of Wisconsin, is making a splendid fight in Washington, D. C., against the segregating idea. She admires the race for its determined stand against such pronounced classism in America. The government is wrong, she says, in trying to stand for it. Mrs. La Follette has the right idea. As a white woman we think of her as those of her class who choose their own associates in private life. In public affairs we think of her as a public-spirited woman, of unselfish patrolotism, wishing the conveniences, liberties and glories of the republic more shared. Public institutions of the general sort will never be thought of as patriotic concerns, where one abrupt aside owing to nationality. The great common things want to be kept freed of the tendency toward proprietorship. The people are master of the "house." There is no reason why we should not have many Mrs. LaFolettes. Nothing sacrificed in standing for the uplift of mankind. She does not ask strangers to her hearth. She is not offended by the office of her. She asks that Negroes be permitted to enter the general civil life of the nation unmolested and unafraid. ASSERTING THE LAW. In the raids made by the police last Saturday night and the Sunday following 182 persons were arrested, the number being the greatest on record for ten years, and perhaps the greatest general haul in the history of the city. The police were no respecter of persons. Some of all sorts, all races were caught in the draugnet. As great as the catch Chief of Police Perrott thought it should have been greater. This shows what manner of man the lawless will have to deal with in the next four years. This touch of Chief Perrott's life reminds one of that impenetrable impertured Javert of the Paris police that Victor Hugo tells of in his noted "Miserables." He unfliuchingly served his community, permitting nothing to swerve him from his duty. He was inflexible, unrelenting even to the point of persecution, but all in the name of the law. He had no ambition to build a name—only to serve. His was a beautiful character of the kind; one loves him and hates him; one cares for the beautiful man in man. Then he turtle his beautiful end of his life. He chose to fling himself in the turbulent Seine rather than give up such a man as Jean Valjean. The tug of war was between the apprehension of such a god-like man and his intense love of duty. He decided. We, perhaps, have no Valjeans in our midst. And if so the courts are indulgent with them. In the new dispensation of penology the tendency is to give the man who will a chance—the man who determines to put the bad past behind him. Judge Collins, who just left the bench of the city court, was a high apostle of that very righteous thing—giving those who will a chance. The criminal is now looked upon as a victim of temptation; not persecution. If the court errs, it is on virtue's side. Men are redeemed by the influence of love rather than that of staves, clubs and such like instruments of "persuasion." "A man's a man for a that," as Mr Collins loves to quote. We hope that Judge Deery, think of that name, will continue the policy set in motion by his predecessor. Mr Collins' only regret on retiring was that he feared that his program would not be carried out. Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! THE INTERESTED COLORED BROTHER ABROAD. If the colored brother abroad who is so interested in not having us, the American Negroes, appear as heathens he will kindly circulate this note: "The Tuskegee Institute is now spending $237,000 in putting a new heating, power and lighting plant, a sewer system and extending the railroad. All of which is of a highly skilled character. With little exception all is being done by colored people." This is a sample of what's going on among the race. Great, modern buildings have been and are being erected here and there in the centers of the colored people. These are being occupied by concerns in keeping. We have between sixty and seventy banks throughout the country established by colored men in face of the fiercest high-water mark of civilization it ought to be easy to imagine the successes in the various other directions. Just to think that we are held as heathens when the great Negro church organizations are sending hundreds of thousands of dollars yearly to Africa for the redemption of that country. Heathens? Why, the Negro race is and has been the most precious—the most apt—in the world's history. It has rather overshot the mark, tending to the brilliant, the bright and dazzling that the serious and conservative. It may end all right, yet the tendency is dangerous. At any rate it has nothing to do with heathenism, the point under discussion. The Negro race of America has, practically at once, what the white race has been fighting for since the birth of Jesus Christ. Only Fourteen Days more for the dollar rate! WHAT THEY THINK OF US ABROAD. In our effort to enter the larger citizenship of our country we, the Negroes, perhaps have worked overtime in showing up the uglier features of our civil life. It may not be that we have set forth too much of the things that best us; we have had too little to say of the grand, glorious things we know and enjoy. Persons abroad take us at our own words, which are to the effect that we are the most fortunate God forsaken of all earth's creatures. A looker-on in Glasgow, Scotland, a Negro one would think, has written this office a letter calling attention to the status of the Negro in foreign countries, especially Europe. In fact, no general good opinions prevail as to the colored people of whatsoever nationality. He says that the East Indians, South Africans and others go to Europe for education. After graduation they return home. The Americans, who are more aware of this advantage, they have their own schools where their young men and women are educated. The foreigners see none of the signs of culture worth speaking of. The writer says the American Negro is looked on as the most illiterate, the most brutal, and the least thrifty of God's creatures. This, of course, is a mistaken view, but it is what is thought of us. We are seen in the countries of Europe as singers, dancers-stage performers, the teachers of the various other professions which team with proficient and useful men and women. The writer thinks that our "indie lent, selfish and satisfied Negro journals do not see the force of extending their news agencies beyond the "tip of their noses." He says that when a United States Negro is charged with raping the news is flashed over the European countries. There is no contradiction. He thinks that we, in this country, should make it our business to establish agencies for counteracting the evil influence of such reports. The writer as a whole makes just restrictions as to our indifference as it concerns setting forth boldly the bright side of our civil life. We do not work sufficiently hard to see the race promoted as a whole. There are exceptions, but we are safe in saying that a vast deal of selfishness enters into our public activities. Politics has had largely to do with this. The success of "my" party has served often to squelch the last bit of racial partisan spirit. Men whom we have relied on to still stay in the van where they could be seen have too often skulked to the rear in deference to party behests. And there is reason for such action. The heads of race are feared. But it means race poetrotherapy. We are advancing slowly, nevertheless; not through our "colonels," but through the ranks—a leaven, as it were, working in the midst. The writer asks why has not America contributed colored men equally brilliant as our Presidents. The question is not a very wise one. The Presidents in the most part have been learned men, but they do not stand for the intellectualism of America. It is perhaps egoyism to say that we have many Negroes who are better learned and more brilliant than some of the Presidents were, yet it is the truth. Some of our Presidents were merely political expedients, men who were on the crest of popular approval owing to policies avowed. Others were elected as master men, and as they should be, our present executive, Woodrow Wilson, for instance. The fact of it is, that the properly qualified Negro is scarcely ever in evidence. He is in the schools, and where his name is legions; he is in the church by the thousands. He is officer of the Negro journals; he is lawyer, doctor, business man, and whose education serves him as that of a white man, making him careful, modest, discreet and the rest of it that declares for him the best proprietor. Ladies may go to have their hats made and trimmed and where the latest style prevails and extreme politeness is shown. The new place marks another milestone in the business walks of the Negro o the West. Social Work in the South. Miss M. E. Merrweather and Miss Haskins, two southern white women who are doing settlement work solely among coloured women, are her guests for the few weeks en route to attend the Race Settlement Conference at Battle Creek, Mich. Friends of Mrs. Jaffrey Barnett, and her guests for the few hours they were in town. The colored people have no more ardent friends or unskilled workers than these two noble women. Fellowship Chorus Practice. The Fellowship Chorus is under the direction of Prof. James Mundy, is practicing for the Abraham Lincoln birthday celebration. Mrs. Jaffrey Barnett is in an orchestra full Mrs. Barnett has some very able speakers to deliver addresses. Cook and Stevens. Cook and Stevens were the chief proprietor. She attended the Berlin was highly entertained by and ladies of the city. Mr. Robert Smith and Sanders were married by Gordon at his residence and wished him a happy marry.

Miss Lucy Whitaker, womens natiati, Ohio, was brought up by the age he attained by Mr. and Mrs. Geo Mr. M. L. Letcher, Miss M. L. Letcher and M of Louisville. Miss Birda Russell, da As a lowly people we are the best cared for in the world. Those abroad who think of us heathens have a thought coming. The Negroes of America are held back by some ignorance and vice. They are not wholly free from these, but they are not his "disqualifications," as the Europeans may think. We suffer because of the previous condition of servitude, because of our color and race, and, of course, to some extent owing to the uncultured masses. The uncultured masses referred to do not mean dense ignorance, heathenism or savagery, nor does it mean viciousness. Our race is particularly mild, tractable, submissive. There are those among us who are arewolves, but they are few who enter conspiracies to undo the government. We have no such venality. We have thousands among us who, like the Greeks when taken captives by the Romans, who have turned captors. The is to say that there are those among the race who have become exemplars for the white people; some of the white people. It is impossible to maintain propagandas abroad or "floating" exhibitions of our status at home. But to whom it may concern can understand that the United States is one of the United States, is in every way fitting in the white man's civilization, and which civilization is at its very best right here in these United States. INVITED TO TAKE PART IN AN INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. The colored people of America are invited to take part in the International Exhibition for the Book Industry and the Graphic Arts, Leipzig, 1914. The circular letter of invitation reads as follows: "Pastor Paul Hentsch, Gundertherstr. 1, Leipzig-Lind, Germany. "To the Editor of the Freeman: Dear Sir—You have no doubt already heard of the great exhibition that will take place in 1914, and of which his majesty, King Frederick of Saxony, is the patron. When I read the news I asked myself, if it would be possible to show at the exhibition some exhibits of the colored people in America, in whose matters I am especially interested, and I finally succeeded in getting those competent in the matter interested for my plan. So now I am going to collect such exhibits as would be acceptable for this great worlds fair. Here is an opportunity for the colored people of America, and for those who have devoted their lives to the culture work among the colored people, to demonstrate what they have done already and what they could do in the future. Another important feature while collecting exhibition materials is that it will also have great value for the future as the great library of Leipzig will participate in it when the exhibition is over. With the same mail I send to you some printed matter, which will tell you more. You will see especially from the "Classification Scheme" what we could use for the exhibition." RALPH W.

Opens Millinery Shop on West Side. Mrs. Rosa Morsan, or 3709 State street, has opened a millinery shop on the West Side. She has been on the business on the South Side, she has decided to establish another on the West Side. This millinery shop has been a manifestation of her friends but of the entire population of Chicago for blazing out in the business worm dsl that she can give to her friends. She is well as to have a shop where our own ladies may go to have their hats made and trimmed and where the latest style presides. We are delighted to open of this new place marks another step in the business walks of the Nero o the Wren.

Echols Payne Gave a musical at St. John's A. M. E. Church—Berlin Willist Club Gave a Dance at the Academy—Pythianism in Kentucky Their Latest Launched Plains—Dr. H. B. Rosby and Wife in Business. (By Hardin Tolbert, at People Pharmar Phoenix, 866-866, Box 223. Ercum Pharmar, 825) FRANKPORT, Ky. Special. The Kentucky legislature is in session at the beautiful ne wstate capitol, on the South Side. The enactment of a law that would should get twice as much pay as in previous years was the means of bringing, as usual, the best representation to this city, with the interest of the heart at heart. There has not been a more courteous gathering of gentlemen than the formal assembly of 1914. We hope that this session will be replete with legitimate items to be recorded in the formal assembly. There is a record to be made by every individual in this assembly. The people of Kentucky are such an intellectual body of cultured gentlemen. We shall ever be on the alert to furnish items of interest to the people. Governor James B. McCleary sent his message to the legislature, and it covered over yippee of Kentucky's interests and the importance of the colleges in debt, which would keep some of the charitable institutions from getting appropriations from this session of the legislature. McCleary also priations at all they will be small, on account of the condition of the treasury. Governor McCleary highly praised the work of which President G. P. Russell is the standard-bearer, for their excellent reports and the conduct of the student body as a whole, and said that this institution has given boys dormitory and many other things. The Knights of Pythias of Kentucky are urging each of their members to get new members and ask a better union among all in this jurisdiction, for which a site is being considered at the corner of Tenth and West Chestnut streets, Louisville, can be made the greatest of the knights. The Knight will only take one or two shares in this enterprise, of which notice is being sent out to members throughout the state by Grand Marshal, to be bound to a success. With the assistance of General Wilson, who has charge for Frankfort, we will lead Louisville and the other cities in this movement. Watch here. watch and see.

Later on the two madams associated as a team were generally thought to be real sisters. Madame Pauline is finely produced and were generally thought to be real figures. When she opens she begins to talk to them sit up and take notice even those on the very last row of seats. Her mother puts up a picture of stuff she puts out she makes a good straight to her partner's comedian work. By The River of Dreams, in a most beautiful way. The audience Monday her movements singing very much. Her movements are perplexing. That Bailey, William Bailey, best kept for the madman a rich find, good partner for the madman.

He perambulated as usual, and the motion, in his same odyssey conceived dialectation, which drew so largely from the mixed hydromelan in his background that he named his preface as a most curious star who still has power to draw. Johnson and Baylor, who returned to the house, admired his entertainer, and Helen Baxter, a former chorus girl, who made her first appearance, and while still lacking in artistic talent, she depicted, were all included on the bill.

My friendship once for you was strong Like sun redened from the skies, But you will be my strong And made friendship concise. You thought vain passion had an aim, To act as moral, in disguise, But find I have an honored name To add to your surprise. My friendship was all innocence; Admiring you was most unwise, In combat with your ignorance That's why my friendship dies. Forlorn, alone, you sigh, at last, When you see your eyes, Which tail of errors in the past So now my friendship dies. WASHINGTON, D. C., THEATERS **The S. H.

It was a good press agent yarn and Johnson stood for it, as he was willing to get any publicity. He said a lot of nice things about (By Billy Lewis.) Kil McCoy is in Nice, France, where he hopes to arrange a clash with Georges carpenter. Mr. McCoy was at his day, but he chose he has at the age of 14 to defeat the French champ. The four-fish stunt recently staged in two jobsbones, Jack and Jim, came very near putting the boxing game on the fritz in the gay capital. Nelson has fought over 130 battles in the 17 years of the most phenomenal record ever made by a pugilist in any division of the $350,000, which he has made by endurance and ring generalship is the banner record in gulliglish finance. Arthur Poleky still hopes to be heavyweight champion of the world. He realizes that his defeat at the hands of Gunbo, the discard, but he declares he will yet reach the top of the ladder. "After a brief," Mr. Poleky reiterates his all over again and right my way to the top. While I do not want to make any excuses, I did not show my true form when I fought Smith, I can much better and I am going to do it. Kid Fields of Indianapolis knocked out Kid Scott of Tennessee in the third round and Kid Anderson in the fourth. Fields hopes to box in Wear Baden again soon. He has not heard no micro concerning a return match, but thinks McClure is afraid to box him. *The University of Chicago swimmers under Coach White have been trying out the new annual game known as water polo, and the game will prove a practicable substitute for water polo. Polo was officially abolished by conference ruling two years ago, and since that time the game has been a contest which will prove an equal attraction. Water polo generally regarded as the roughest sport with much disapproval for years.* Sweden is already preparing to send a strong team entry for the modern peloton in the 2018 Bikinis. A special training school has been opened in Stockholm and 24 young athletes are undergoing training under the excellent results have been attained, but the actual figures are kept secret, so the results are spread abroad. The crown prince is taking great interest in the work of the school, where he is personally involved. It will be recited the Sweden won first, second and third in the competition during the Stockholm race. For people give Jack Johnson credit for his personal chance. Smith's career, but Johnson discovered Smith and Johnson started him. Jack was training for the race, but discharged from the navy, applied for a job as starring partner. Jack gave the Gunner a lot of work as he starred the story that Smith had $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN.

According to advises received at San Francisco, Power of the Boston Athletic Conference, Francisco Olympic Club, members of the All-American team track, broke records in the 800-yard race in New Zealand. Power established a New Zealand and 880-yard record with oe minute and fifty-eight seconds, which is a fifth better than the record made by Burke in 1995. Templeton broke the New Zealand and Australian pole vault record, leaping 11 feet 1 inch. He marked of 11 feet 1 inch. Templeton broke his pole at this height and was unable to jump over the fence. The spinner of the team, is laid up with a sprained tendon and will not compete until January 10. Caughey, the weight handler, is confidently to spare. All events were randicards. FITZSIMMONS RENOUNCES AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP Enraged Over Barred from Go than that, He Reprieve Leaving, London. Eruged over the action of the New York Boxing Commission in barring him from entering the games, the State, Bob Fitzpatrick, ex-heavyweight champion, issued a lently statement at Plainfield, Indiana, on the board, renounced American citizenship and claimed that the citizen had no rights, regretted ever leaving England and was not allowed to come when he fought Jeffries. Instead the board is taking his only means of making bread and butter away from him, and if he is not allowed to box he will starve to death. He complained with that in America and claims the English sportmen are a better type of men than the Americans who manage the business. He says he was bulldozed in signing his citizenship papers. By hard training he has managed his weight during his weight from 214 to 170 pounds. NO FUDGE BE PERMITTED GIRLS TAKING UP ATHLETICS Early hours, abstention from drinking either tea or coffee and from eating pastry or sweets, and prohibition of eating nuts, are some of the training rules which have just been adopted by the new Jackson College Athletic Association of Kentucky. Students take part this spring in the various basketball and track meet. The penalty for violation is the taking away from an offender the right to compete in class teams. The rules are as follows: 1. Every girl who is in training will be required to be in bed every night at 10 o'clock, with the exception of one 2. No girl in training is allowed to drink water during any time, or water after violent exercise. 3. During training, eating between meals of anything except fruits and nuts is forbidden. 4. No pastry or sweets allowed during training. training. All girls out for basketball will be required to keep these rules during the entire season. All girls who enter the track meet will be required to keep these rules one FRECHMAN RIDES FASTER THAN WILD BOB BURMAN Bob Burman's high-water mark is 141.73 miles an hour is no more, but he has been able to cover 308 horsepower Flat at Ostend recently. Duray hit 142.9 for a kilometer in his attempt. Subsequent attempts to duplicate his performance, direction, formation, and necessary feat to make everything official, according to European standards, failed on account of wind and light rain. The trial will be made in the winter, however. The machine is the property of Prince Soukkanof, a Russian sportsman not known for his speed, ever structured with practical merits, having a bore and stroke of 7.48x10.4 inches. It is so high that it is almost impossible to measure it, but measuring 5 feet 7 inches from the ground to the top of the bonnet. A special wind cutter can be used to speed trials. It is expected ultimately to attain 145 miles an hour. Another attempt to lower the world's straightaway to the twelve-cylinder Sunbeam that recently shattered the world's skyscrapers and dozens of southern France will be employed. TITLE BELONG TO JOHNSON. SO SAYS JIM CORBETT Thinks He Can Easily Be Defeated Willie Ritchie Can Make Weight. Jack Johnson is the heavyweight champion of the world. Did you know that, reader? No? Well, the startling fact is that he was Secretary Charles Harvey of the New York Boxing Commission, who cabled the astounding information to Paris in response to a query from the French boxing authority concerning Johnson's status as a pug. It appears that certain promoters on the other side are peeved on the business of their clubs. I suppose there just about as much leisure and bickering over there amounts to a backer on the side of Mr. Vienne, the director of the Society for THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the Propagation of Boxing in France (get that title?), wanted the New York boxing club to oppose him by refusing to meet Sam Langford had forfeited his claim on the title. Naturally the local people could not do this, as much as they might have wished to do, but they did not give the title away from Johnson except by killing him, beating him in a fair fight in the ring, accident or through his volunteering. The rules (what a joke these rules) which compels a champion to defend his title any offender than he feels like he is in the ring, or through his volunteering, defend his title at least once a year, if any one challenged, but nowadays conditions are different and he is expected to fight as a professional boxing power as a theatrical star is waning. Rule Would Help Ritchie Must Show. Willie Ritchie will do well to keep a physician with him constantly during the training campaign for the coming mullion season. If he happens to again happen to the champion necessitating another delay he would have a very difficult job to accomplish. The organization of the San Francisco public. Since he abandoned the Welsh match in Canada and then had to ask a postponement of the game, he has been under suspicion on the coast, where we know Tommy Murphy's limits—that he can do anything. Ritchie can do—fearfully the bout with Murphy as some easy money for the champion. But out California way where he lives, he will look at it in a different light, and several critics have even accused Willie of harboring no desire to test his capacity. Like to Talk. Jim Buckley, manager for Tommy Murphy, likes to talk a lot. Jim is a good speaker, and he likes to be happy as when he has an audience. Anyhow, a day or two after the recent postponement all parties interested met in the meeting to match. Ritchie wanted the same weight conditions to govern. Buckley made a spiel about Murphy wanting the welsh man to be the one to win some concessions in view of the fact that the postponement was no fault of his, and that he (Buckley) would bet $3,000 on the Welsh man to win the weight Ritchie came back so quickly with the coin that it made Buckley's hair curl. Ritchie would have he would be the money, at the prevailing ringside odds, and not at even money. Any one who thinks Ritchie can make Chip Not Champion. George Chip may eventually be middleweight champion, but I don't know by what weight he has been forced to as champion. There are several other good men in the division he has to beat before he is ready to fight as Stanley Ketchel's successor, himself according to report, evidently feels the same about it. He does not think he has accomplished anything twice. Not do I think Frank Klaus away could enthrone very much over the Klaus type of fighter. That kind do not appeal to me. I don't feel the best feat was stopping George Carpentier, and it is a question if there is a midweight country where you couldn't turn a simple trick. PARISIAN HAS BEEN CHAMP OF ALL CLASSES Carpentier Wonder of Boxing World Starts in Game at the Age of 7 We may soon look upon the "Champion d'Europe et Champion du Monde" "boxe de France" may appear in this country. That brilliant French boy recently overcame a difficult case, can fight methods and was set down for nine months by the French Boxing Association, to talk of matching him with Gunboat Smith, and if this can be managed the fight would have to be held either as a test or in a match here, with the chances favoring this country. To bring this to pass, however, we must have to make his peace with the commission. Monstre Francois Descampé, Carpentier, announced himself as "be willing to match his protege with the Gunner, so, as good old Billy Jordan always says, "Let Georges Carpentier, who is now champion of Europe, is the coach of Bombardier Welis, is really a great fighter. Carpentier, who is only 19 years old now, has been bobbed by the coach of Bombardier. Larity since he was 12 years old. He has suffered all the vicissitudes of fortune. He has been the French champion of Europe, from free fall to heavyweight, which he now holds despite the fac that he weighs only about 170 kg. He has won 63 of them, 20 by the knockout route, and lost 8 times, suffering knockouts in 3 of them. The two 'K' O's may be excused in a way by the fact that he was only 14 years old at the Gives Up Mining. Georges Carpentier was born January 12, 1834, at Lieven, France. He was deserved a career, and, after his teacher, who, however, gave up mining to move to Lens, where he opened a cafe. He was also a teacher, and he schooled his pugnacious nature and lively disposition made him a terror of the teacher and his students. He was a gymnastique, where he first became interested in the new sport that had just arrived in France - boxing. He was a champion, and mastered the new game so well that he made his debut as a prize-fighter at Paris. Three months later, the little fellow competed in a tournament for the bantam championship of France and was defeated by the champion. He and much bigger, Carpentier weighed but 75 pounds at the time. However, on his return to Paris, he was proclaimed amateur champion in France at Paris. Georges career, and he had to go to work in the mines to help provide for the family. He worked the dark grind before he broke away to follow his heart's desire within the squared circle. He then went on his first battle for a purse of $60. From then on he rose fast. Wins Feather Title. Carpentier won the French featherweight title on June 26, 1909, by knocking out outfielder Ledeaux, the aggressive catch who received such a raw deal recently in this country. He won the lightweight crown the same year from Paul Bertolini. He won the middleweight championship of Europe from the Englishman, Jim Sullivan, at Monte Carlo. All those who have been able to defeat him decisively in recent years were the three Americans, Papke, Klaus and the Dixie Kid. In return he has beaten her and she has been beaten and Jeff Smith, proving that he learned the lessons he received from the Amazons. The writer was a guest at Carpenter's home in Paris this year and was much impressed with the intelligence of the children. He attended Triplee at 30 Rue Brunnel, and maintains exquisite apartments for his parents, his wife and their little son. Almost all of the children are little, the nice-looking Georges has not a mark to show for it. He is undoubtedly a child, and he is polite,耐er; with his nobly clothes fitting him to perfection, he appears slight and small, and carries himself like a gentleman. His manners are polite, and he engages by a perennial smile. A Soup and Nut Boxer. After 6 o'clock you will always find him in evening dress, a distinct emphasis of which is the change from the rough-neck to the sublime. He deserves a place at the head of Gibbons and Coulon. I might cite a accident that the exposes one great secret of his success as a boxer, this brains. He has a strong hand through M. Vienne, the French promoter. I arrived duly and was ushered in with a welcome and butlers, only to learn by signs and motions that Francois Descamps, who had never been unable to be present. Carpenter spoke no English and I no French—so it looked like a long pause. But the French champion was a man of upan idea. In a bash he was gone, only to return with a telephone, to which he then called up a friend of his who could speak both French and English and in another other side of Paris, I conversed with Carpenter on the telephone, even though he was in the same room. In this country that enjoys one-half the popularity that is the debonair. French champion's. The fact that enjoys something like $200,000 is proof enough for it.

San Francisco Has Been in Game for Thirteen Years and Taken in More Than $1,000,000 at His Gates—"Organization" His Secret - Attributes His Success to Giving Patrons the Seats They Purchase and Running Contests in Orderly Way. In the boxing game close on to 12 years as promoter of the game pure and rich, San Francisco has champions come and go and taken in over a million dollars from the public, until now it is ranked as the country, in the history of James W. Coffroff, says the San Francisco Chronicle. The country has attained the success of the San Francisco. No one of them has been able to gain the confidence of the people until it is that giving the same card, under similar conditions as any other impressario, and Coffroff has business chiefly because of its own prosperity. If there is any one thing at which Coffroff excels more than any other, handling box contests—it is facts and figures. Just where he carries them is the wonder, but they are there beyond any question. A guide isn't necessary with Coffroff around. Just ring him up on the 'phone, tell him you want to know when Jim Jerries will be playing. And he will give you the day of the month, the year, how the fight ended and how much money they drew. And to out on some more insignificant match and you'll discover the information at his disposal. "What do I think is the one thing above all others that constitutes a successful promoter?" "Organization" the Secret. "Well, you'll probably laugh," he remarked, "but my answer to that is giving people what they want. It is a matter of organization. I have built up an organization of men who have little left for me but the making of matches. It is like a well-regulated army, with a job for everyone, carrying at the last moment, and no bother. Everything proceeds according to schedule. The gives and receives will come again. They will come again. The simple matter of seeing that people get their right to play, and that reason why they shouldn't, but from time immemorial it has been the custom, and it helped wounded the plan, and it helped wonderfully. And those who have had any trouble in getting the seat with the pillow and paid the price with the promoter. Coffroth was in a measure pitchforked into boxing from the 1910s when he was the secretary of the superior court judges, Coffroth. While New York he met Jim Kennedy. who was then the "big noise" in pugilism. It was just at the close of the Horton game, and I was dropped. The game was to be dropped in New York, and naturally the talk was on the future of the game. The team Francisco field was mentioned, and Coffroth, although his only experience in boxing had been that of an ardent fan, can induced to associate himself with Kane and Gleason in the handling of contests. "The first show we held," said Coffroth, "between George Hawkins and George (Bob) We drew only $1,800, but I was more than I ever have been since that time when that experience in the game does for you." Harry Corbett in Club Harry Corbett associated himself with the 1903 and 1904, but after that dropped out of college and practiced work alone since that time. In 1905 the promoter was shut out of San Diego, the open-air shows on holiday dates at the college, permits, and operated in the little pavilion at Colma that long since burned down. Again in 1907, 1908 and 1909 he was forced out of the city and held for the first heavyweight championship much more than he showed. Under his auspices in 1901 was held the first heavyweight championship much more than he showed. defeated Gus Ruhlin. Incidentally, it was the first time the people of this city had a fight with him, from $2 to $20 for their seats, a scale of prices that brought $30,800 into the house. It. The Coffroh who was responsible for the "hairy" championship, inaugurating that class when brought Bob Fitzsimmons and George Coffroh had a lot of overgrown middleweight's on his hands, and to make him a new division. One of the few times he seats ever cost $5 a throw was at the Fitzsimmons-Jeffries fight, a condition through the demands of the fighters. LOOK, LOOK, LOOK, LOOK.

It will be published in the interest of Negro landowners, tenant farmers and of those who employ Negro labor. There is no other strictly farm newspaper in the world devoted to the interest of Negro farmers, Many of the white farm newspapers enjoy huge circulations and there is no reason why a farm paper in the interest of Negroes should not prove equally successful. In fact, cee nue an exclusive field it should enjoy a success far beyond that of the usual farm publication. It is proposed to circulate this pa- per pong the 2,000,000 black farmers of the United States. he paper will be eight pages, of about the size of ‘The Country Gentleman.” DR. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON STATES: The Tuskegee Institute has no financial interest or control over this new publication, but some of the active oficers of the institution are interested in its success and believe that it will not only ac- complish great good but will bea paying invetment. The paper inbacked by a strong organization and funds have been provided in advance to assure its publication. ‘Those in active control of THE NEGRO FARMER have my entire confidence and good will. —BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. The success of this project is assured because of the solid and sensible lines upon which it is being laid out. All the capital stock has been subscribed for. The subscription price is $1.00 a year and Subscriptions and Ad- vertisements are invited. Clubbing rates with important Negro news- papers will be arranged for on a satisfactory basis.
