Walker, the well- known hair, tourist and president and owner of the Indianapolis industrial company, of Indianapolis, Ind. who has now become an international character, has returned from the west in the West Indies and is at her palatial home in the Hoosier Capital brimming with people of the island she has seen visiting and optimistic touching the future of the Negro here and every- where she has succeeded in the face of the most disgusting circumstances. She cannot see why others cannot rise up their mind; to do so and evince a disposition to take the sacrifices neces- tary in the far away West India Islands as here in America—and Washington, where she made a pronounced church and filling space in the dalles. It seems that this broad- reputation preceded her to the Islands. As a consequence, on her ar- cal she found that for a time she had foreo allure and will of the people in it desire to show her social position and arrangements to entertain her ar- cal to indicate their estimation and ap- reciation of this hustling, philanthropic and enterprising business Madame Walker left Indianapolis October 1, accompanied by her niece, Miss Aubriet Breedlove, and chaperone, Miss Martha Crawford, of New York City in her own high-powered Ford car. She spent a few days in the city, where her own 168 West 185th street, purchased by Madame Walker about a year ago the eastern headquarters for her business, where she is in charge of her daughter, Miss Lela Robinson, who came from Pittsburgh to assume the supervision of a competent forelady to take care of the establishment in the Smoke Room. After a charming visit of a few days, New York with her daughter and grandma Madame Walker sailed November 18, 1915, to Jamaica, living at her desultation five days later. At Kingston on high officials and business men with the hospitality of the hotel, she visited the habits and customs of natives in the West Indies, her long long trips in her car with gifts from city to city in this most natural country, with a favorite pastime of the beach and the museum, and with her party, as long moonlight sails over the ocean. Writers tell us that nothing is better calculated to lure one away business cares to a boat ride, while others, where island and island seem rise out of the very sea, garlanded hedged, as they are, by a most careful, varied and luxurious plant. From Kingston, Madame Walker to Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and it is through her work that themselves in making her stay one continuous round of pleasure. Introductory to the official family of that atlantic people, dependents of the city fountain,ousseverture—Madame Walker became a center of attraction. So universal she was, it extended to other places that she found it difficult to say: "to this island and its hospitable Proceeding to Jamaica, Madame Walker managed, after several weeks, get down to business." She was more successful to observe that it was only necessary to have more orders for goods than she possibly supply. She was more successful in introducing and establishing country, and found more people to work with that she could think of employing as agents to represent the business of the holidays at Kingston, Madame Walker for Colon, Panama, and Zone from which region she would be able to business and business combined, feeling relied on and invigorated by the panorama and varied personalities within the neighborhood through her season abroad. She has asked to give a series of platings of her travels and experiences, and to some of the events, if her time will be available. the Negro race in America has not a character in investing or more unique charisma in museums and meteoric career races in a romance, and her success is the result of a genius for business that comes to but trow of any race in a generation.

Throughout a public service, fifty years ago, he consistently advocate of the rights of man, and he rendered yeoman service field and on the forum. He came of the sturdy stock from which the immortal Lincoln sprang, and there was a right-hand man, and almost constant companion of Mr. Cullom for many years. He was associated with the senator while the latter was chairman of the committee on foreign relations and who was the resident commissioner for the erection of the Lincoln memorial. Senator Cullom never tired of singing the praises of his country, and the faithful colored assistant enabled the latter to serve his race substantially when measures of interest to the Negro were pending in the senate.

A famous authority on dietetics says those who chew their food thoroughly will be the best of all doing Heaven. The opinion of an author is not needed to tell where the folks go who make a speciality of "chewing the rag." Charles H. Anderson, treasurer of the National Negro Business League, a prominent organization, organized bank at Jacksonville, Fla., the firm name of the institution being Anderson, Tucker & Co. The bank was opened to the public on New Year's day. The lengthy editorial is a thing of the past, and the moulders, Tell it quick and speak right to the point. The reading public already knows the salient facts, and the reel with a certainty that the reasoning will be grasped and given the weight to which it is entitled. Cary B. Lewis has justly earned his right to a place in the front rank of American journalists. He won his first prize at the Louisville Courter-Journal. Opt-growing the Kentucky metropolis, he invaded Chicago, and his advent and subsequent success have been a revelation to the denizens of that immense field. Without wishing to interfere with the functions devolving upon the president of the United States, there is a fundamental need for the financiers of the negro race that if Dr. W. R. Pettiford, Jesse Binga or Robert Bingham, Federal Reserve Board, the honor would not be ill-bestowed. They are "some bankers." It is foolish for the various agencies of the race's uplift to fritter away precious strength in fighting one anarchy and turn their united guns upon the common enemy, each using the ammunition it knows best how to use. Remember the old code: "In the essentials, unity; in the potentials, liberty; in all things, charity." M. M. Lewey is organizing a new company of Jacksonville capitalists to bring out The Florida Sentinel in a larger and better form. Mr. Lewey is the chairman of the civil war and runs one of the most complete job printing plants in the South. Some thin-skinned folks can not understand that there can be differences or opinion that do not involve questioning. But that is one one's point of view. Thus, that which is "satisfactory" to A is not always satisfactory to B, who is not less fast-skinned than C, who is not less standards are different. Cooksureness does not necessarily mean correctness. Indications multiply in support of the prediction that the fifteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League at Muskogee, Okla., will be held in the fall of 2014 —if not really the greatest. It will bring many interested people into a new and promising country and nummerous people there and help to make it the garden spot of the nation for the Negro race. Roscoe Conkling Simmons does not show up to advantage as a special pleader for the wrongdoer. That brilliant young orator and pennsittist for the Negro race —for causes that appeal to his high sense of justice, fair play and many straightforwardness. Rapping a friend of a specific race in the Col. Simmons, ever frank, fearless and free-handed. The 'metal badge, issued by the National Negro Press Association, is a beauty. It was designed and manufactured by the Central Regalia Company, Cincinnati, Ohio, and circulated by corresponding secretary Henry Brown Boyd, the president. The badge of this badge are entitled to all the courtesies and privileges enjoyed by the reporters of the Associated Press or any of the dailies of the country. In the light of recent developments in Washington, the figure of the late President Obama is the larger in the annals of history. Some think the astute politician and fearless foe of wrongdoers should be honored as a national hero. In recognition of achievements which no other leader has ever had the nerve to attempt. There gutted those who, in Taylor's round form measured up with the biggest and best of them. When we see two useful men struggling for a strangle-hold on each other we can weaken their inability to together for the public good. If they can fight valiantly and effectively for destructive purposes, how much more valiantly and effectively can they achieve achievements! Usually such battles are for trifling reasons, and the masses view the "scrap" with mingled feelings of sadness and not afford to make themselves small by tussling over small issues. Three hundred colored newspapers will be represented at the mid-winter session of the executive committee of the Negro Press Association at Nashville, Friday and Saturday, January 11 and February 1, to press the country, issued by the Association, is a "bell-ringer." It calls attention to the inability to be sensitive to citizens and asks for the Negro only a square deal, a man's chance to meet civilization's demands of manhood. The meeting will be a big success and go well with the effectiveness of the Press Association as a factor in the racial uplift. Colored reporters on white newspapers benefit the race and do not in- ure the circulation of the negro journals of the neighborhood. Each fills in the gaps in the school on the progress and each helps the other by working in harmony. The colored reporter brings the creditable doings of the black community ought to be made aware of them, and the negro papers specialize on perseverance, not not not be handled by journals on other races. Dr. Washington struck the nail on the door in the National Baptist Convention where they live everywhere to see that their meetings and numerous helpful activities are the white papers of their locations by the trustworthy colored reporters. Miss Annie Mae Vann, representing the Norfolk Journal and Guide, conceived to be the best subscription-getting and successful tour of the Carolinas. In Columbia and Florence, S. C. Miss Vann, a graduate of the University in a single week and in the Palmetto state itinerary she added fully five hundred bona fide names to the list of the girls in the Guide. What Miss Vann is doing, other energetic young women all over the land can do, if they will just make the girls in the Guide young ladies? Miss Vann's story of how she 'lands' the almighty dollar and make the people in the land with her was one of the delightful features of the Press Convention at Philadelphia last August. "The Negro Farmer," hailing from the town of Greenwood, just outside of Tuskegee, Alabama, is to make its appearance about the February, 2014, event, "something2needs2nothing" "something needed." It will be devoted to the interests of the 2,000,000 colored farmers in the nation, and to the importance of the influential relation held by "The Country Gentleman" among the Caucasian agriculturists of the land. The fact that the publishing corporation Booker T. Washington, Emmett J. Scott, Warren Logan, Charles H. Gibson and R. R. Logan, is sufficient to make a seriousness proposition. Isaac Fisher, a graduate of Tuskegee Institute, is to be the editor of "The Negro Farmer." The paper starts out with the best wishes of Tuskegee between the oceans and thousands of friends in the other race as well. J. B. Bell, of Houston, Texas, is a business man from his heart.

FRANK MALLOY GIVEN A SU PRIZE FOR FEDERAL "HIGHER GRANES" METROPOLIS OF ARKANSAS—NE GROES' FINANCIAL WORTH— MEN PROMINENT IN AF- FAIRS. (By Ralph W. Tyler.) LITTLE ROCK. Ark.-About four hours' ride out of Memphis, almost due to the lack of transportation in Arkansas, a city of which 20,000 Negroes, who live and thrive here, constitute nearly one-half of the total population of the city, so far off among the pines and hills of the state whose name (part French and part Indian) implies 'bend of the slope' in the east of the Mississippi know how rapidly our race is forging to the front in this section. The per capita income of Little Rock is $21.10. When you consider that Arkansas is still largely a farming state; that this city with less than 55,000 Negroes presents municipality in the states that these Negroes are but a half a century removed from slavery, and that the Negroes are still a period when school facilities stood only for the antonym for encouragement, this per capita wealth is a wonderful achievement. The moral advancement of any people emphasizes the educational progress, the opinion of the country, a wise agitator to the contrary, notwithstanding the fact that the Negroes of Little Rock are just as eager for brain wealth as they are for material wealth it can be said that there are legends of the school instructors for higher education" here in this community of 20,000 Negroes, and seventy-one schools and fifty instructors of the same race, in the two colleges. There are fifteen Baptist, twelve Methodean, Catholic, Congregational, Presbyterian and Episcopal denominations to inculcate Christianity and high moral ideas into this hustling Negro community. Mosaic temple rivaling the fine Odd Fellows temple at Atlanta, Ga., is a tribute to the energies and race incarcerated in communities boast of such public splitting rites men as John E. Bush, Attorney Scipio E. Jones, C. R. Jordan, B. W. Jackson, other Moorhead Taylor and others. Here is a lesson in this business. Negro Business League Little Rock has a fine organization for the promoting not only of business among the race but of the culture along every honorable and desirable line. The progress being made by the race here is most encouraging, and it demonstrates the power in organization. FEMALE PROWLERS STRIPPING CLOTHES LINES. Competitive Electric Lighting-Unity Involved in a Recreation in Masonville Hall (BY J. E. W. CLARKE.) HELENA, Montana, January 26.—The nice warm weather we are having this winter is increasing the size of the greenhouse, and I think January ended and only once did the thermometer reach the zero point. HeLENA received a lightning visit from H. M. Grayson of Chicago last week. M. Grayson came to Helena on special business for—well, he is not talking about it, but says he may be interested in helping Grayson. Made a good impression on the Helena folk. Last week the writer's attention was attracted early Wednesday morning on seeing two women with an improvised tape measure, endeavoring to get the women to tie their hair. A light snow had fallen in which dainty feet had left their impression, betraying the sex of the intruder. These sheer cloaks were evidence against the female prowler who stripped their clothes lines, while they peacefully slumbered, of nearly every article of choice lined with a thick layer of snow. Hettie Stevens, one of the loosers in this "touching" incident is very indignant, to say the least, and would no doubt be found find no use for the line and pole than supporting clothes. Competitive electric lighting in Helena will soon be a realization. The city fathers last Monday night prepared the event on March 28th to give the people of the city an opportunity to vote upon the question as to whether a 25-year old can compete in electric power, which will compete with the Helena Light and Railway Co. in supplying Helena's consumers' electric power, and introducing features in the controversy before the Council was an appeal by a representative of the electric power industry in insertion of a clause in the franchise compelling the new company to hire none but union labor. This attempt was defeated. Prof. S. R. R. S. Stewart, pianist and baritone, left Helena Tuesday on a conference in Wyoming, Missouri and states farther east. Thursday evening, the 223, Bathsheba Chapter No. 10, O. E. S., gave a reception to Unity Lodge, A. F. and A. M. fully decorated with flags and the colors of the O. E. S. The many good things to eat set before the guests, the musicians, and the epicurean. The ladies having in charge the arrangements, seemed not to have spared themselves in an endeavor to surely them. Short talks were made by many of those present, and the event closed to be regretted by all that each hour contained only short minutes. Mr. George Company who was called to Missouri on account of the death of his mother has returned. Mr. William Green, who for several months has been residing in Spokane is in town, having been called home on account of your loss of his father, Mr. Andrew Green.

C. A. is already the banner association as to membership. With the 1,000 members the splendid lead will be maintained for many a day. A letter from Kalamazoo, Mich., calling attention to the treatment of the colored Masons who recently met there, said, "We are open up especially for the visitors, but no meal could be had for less than 45 cents. It looks as if the white folk and the colored folk got together on the poor visiting brothers. Mr. Murphy, of Tammany fame, is doing a bit of squirming. He is getting a dose of his own medicine. The National Democratic Club of New York has demanded that he step aside as the chief of Tammany Hall. He is fighting for his political existence, basing his hope of success on a technicality. He challenges the method of the vote that asked his retirement from the head of that organization. Verily a drowning man grabbeth at a straw. Senator Vardaman told President Wilson that he would oppose the confirmation of the nomination to any colored man to office. This may not be the case, but he would most likely the senator from Mississippi. However, we can stand very much of him just so he lets that little pet of his sleep—reading the Negroes out of the constitution. The senator had special reference to the nomination of Judge Robert H. Terrell to succeed himself By the large vote of 203 to 54, the House of Representatives at Washington opposed, this week, the proposed Asiatic Exclusion Act. The action of the house is held to be in the interest of our relations with Japan. It is a rather hopeful note to the colored races generally in that they are being considered at Washington. The traveler from the old world may not be the most hopeful object, yet in swinging elections, the cliques of our country as a social organization remains—"the land of the free, the home of the brave." It begins to look as if the president's term of office and the date of inauguration were to remain as they have been. The senate judiciary committee, this week, voted to report adversely on a constitutional amendment to that effect. The amendment, which was by Senator Shafroth, would have advanced the commencement of the presidential term from March 4 to the second Monday in January following election of each new congress for the first Monday in January instead of March 4. It is thought that a similar resolution now pending in the house will not be considered at this session. Le dernier ukase de la mode. The last word of fashion for women from Paris has it that the waist line would advance if possible. The waist will dare widely, showing the whole neck and very much of the front, which shows up in a V-shape, the opening terminating when the waist belt is reached—a plenteous front. The skirt will stay slit—quite to the knee. The legs will be bound in ribbons that cross and re-cross according to taste of wearer, this up to the knee, at least. This is something of the effect of the early Romans. The shoes are sandal like, caught up by the thong like binding that wind up the stockings. Did you get it? GOVERNOR BLEASE ON OUR MORALITY. Governor Blease, of South Carolina, in his recent report to the legislature of that state had much to say of the negroes, and which in the most part was not very complimentary. He said: "The negro race has absolutely no standard of morality. They are, in that respect, a class by themselves, as marital infidelity seems to be their most favorite pastime. If every negro in this state that is guilty of bigamy or marital infidelity is brought up and convicted, labor will be much scarcer than it is and many acres that are now cultivated will be idle." The governor is very much mistaken in saying that the Negro has no standard of morality. He has exactly the same standard as that of the white race. The Negroes are a lowly people as a whole. In the thing of morality they compare very well with other owly classes. If the Negroes do not conform to the standard as well as the white people it is simply because they are not up as a whole. Their average is not so high. The trouble is that our race critics seek to compare us with the elect of the white people. As slum against slum, is the way to do it. Middle society against middle society; high society against high society. Now then, give us your figures. A NEW PRESIDENT FOR HAITI. Three hundred men of the rival revolutionaries were killed in the battle between the two forces at Gonalves, according to advises received here today. The adherents of Senator Davillar Theodore were defeated by the followers of General Orestes Zamor, formerly government delegate at Cape Haftien. Senator Theodore and his men were driven back in a northerly direction to Plaisance, on the road to Cape Haftien. General Zamor today proclaimed himself president of the republic. Carlos Zamor, government delegate at Gonalves, assisted his brother in the battle, and General Desormes fought by their side. Fire broke out in the city of Gonalves during the battle. Fifteen houses were destroyed, but no foreign property was damaged. The Mexican spirit of rebellion and revolution has caught in the little Nego republic. It is useless to say that thoughtful race men are disheartened at the recent outbreak. That country has been looked on as the fairest example of Negroes at self-government. Whether it be just or not, the Negroes everywhere lose in respect as a people worthy of the utmost citizenship. One can not help but think that of those the negroes are scarcely saved when will they appear." In this case the Haitians as the best at self-government are not being scarcely saved. The country is falling back, politically speaking. And the political serenity of a nation is one of its best tests of superior civilization. Ravenous, greedy men, hungering for power and money are responsible—those to whom all eyes turn as the bringsers of salvation. These failing, to where shall we turn. They know not what they do. Shall they be forgiven? THE VIRGINIA LODGE OF K. OF P. WILL NOT LOSE CHARTER. At the biennial meeting of the Supreme Lodge of Knights of Pythias at Baltimore last summer there arose a difficulty between the Virginia Grand Lodge and the Supreme Lodge concerning the financial status of the latter body. The Virginia lodge, headed by John Mitchell, Jr., protested against the business methods of the Supreme Lodge, insisting that it was hopelessly in debt, and instead of reducing its expenses was rushing headlong, regardless of its financial condition. Its business integrity was impached. Charges were made which greatly incensed the members of the Supreme Lodge. They were of such a nature that that body felt there was no course to pursue short of revoking the charter of the "obstreperous" body. This was done. The case was bitterly fought through the Richmond Planet, the most influential race publication of Virginia. John Mitchell, Jr., the editor, is also the Grand Chancellor of the K. of P.'s for his state. He is also a banker and enjoys a fine reputation as financier, being the only Negro who is a member of the American Bankers' Association. The prominence of Mr. Mitchell, who led in the attack, made for a most bitter fight. The fight was carried to the Supreme Court, District of Columbia. This body, January 30, 1914, refused to grant the plea of the Supreme Lodge, that the suit of the Grand Lodge, K. of Virginia be dismissed with costs on the plaintiff and decided that the action of the Supreme Lodge Knights of Pythias, N. A. S. A. E. A. A. and A. in session at Baltimore, Maryland, August 26-30, 1913, in revoking the charter of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia and ordering the dissolution, was unconstitutional and unlawful. It issued a sweeping injunction restraining the Supreme Lodge, the Supreme Chancellor or their agents anywhere in the United States from interfering with the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias on account of any such alleged evocation of the charter. It forbids the issuance or circulation of any proclamation, letter, or other form of the Grand Chancellor's agents based upon the alleged evocation of the charter and dissolution of the Grand Lodge, Knights of Pythias of Virginia. Mr. Justice Gould announced that the question of the constitutionality of the tax levy by the Supreme Lodge upon the members of the several grand jurisdictions would be finally decided by the Court. This will result in a complete review of the cast by competent authority and the constitution's amendment of the new Constitution at Baltimore, Maryland, will also be settled. John Mitchell, Jr., Grand Chancellor of the Grand Lodge, K. of P. of Virginia; Thomas M. Crump, G. K. of R. and S., and R. C. Mitchell were present during the deliberations. The Grand Lodge was represented by Hon. Clarence R. Wilson, Paul E. Lesch, Esq., and James F. Minor, Esq., the latter making the argument, and the Supreme Lodge by Mr. James A. Cobb and Henry E. Davis, Esq., the latter making the argument. THE PROPOSED EXCLUSION OF ASKATIC PROPERTIES. Many of us, and who are true-blue patriots, prefer to think of the nation as it is sung about. "The land of the free and the home of the brave." This has meant the wide extended arms, welcoming whoever would come. The utmost patriot would not see his country fall short of that. It's a most beautiful theory. It has electrified the world. The denizens of Europe, of the world of mankind who had long despired of reaching the status of citizens in all that the term implies were lifted up by the hopeful intelligence. At night, at noon, they turned with faces to the west, as the good Musselman turns to Mecca when uttering his orisons. In time they came to the promised land, so to speak, finding it all that was said of it, and more than what was said of it if it they chose to make it that way. They found that America was the subject of their making. It would be what they would have it—the land of the free, the home of the brave. But, in the country's development changes have come. Men as races have been studied, and in relation to other races. While our country is made up of those from the ends of the earth, of the restless and discontented spoken of, yet these have shaped an organization which has greatly outclassed most of those of the older world, and from which they sprang. In fact they find that they have wrought so finely that to introduce all classes of "original" men wholesale would be attended with some danger. modern home, 500 Crowdus St....M and Mrs. A. G. Sheaperson and daug. A Hurry Knowing well our own status as a race it would ill become us to surrender to any such program as was contemplated by the house of representatives at Washington. But looking at the matter dispassionately, aside from the particular race affiliation we are impressed with the idea of probable danger in permitting masses of individuals to enter the country who are radically opposed to us in customs and traits. And perhaps this objection, had it been sustained, would have opposed more theoretically than practically. Not many Hindus, Malays or Africans took shelter in the gates of Castle Garden. The Mongolians in the Chinese and Japanese, have long since read the writing on the wall. They have governed themselves accordingly and now look with eyes askance toward our shores. This thought suggests the recent difficulty with the Japanese and a former difficulty with the Chinese. We are not attempting to defend the proposed legislation. We are trying to lay the facts of the case bare before our readers. Downright selfishness, self-interest, self-defense, would declare against those who can be no true part and parcel of the country. But what are we to do with the spirit of our constitution, of our institutions, of our citizenship? Must we turn the door against the helpless and hopeless? As Negroes, perhaps we should look strictly after our own and of our peoples. As African Americans building out its peoples, nor has it ever done so. We are saved humiliation in the instance, because Negroes do not come from Africa to this country. Theoretically the Africans are included, consequently we, the United States Negroes, have more than a passing interest in the proposed restrictions.

The Crown Garden has a galaxy of good ones this week. The quality. The work of Jones and Jones is particularly mercurious, and the good entertainers. Thomas Melton, the tramp musician; Chayburn wives the good entertainers; and Ray Bailey, a dainty songstress. Jones and Jones, High Class Entertainers. Archie and Edna Jones are a clever pair of entertainers. Edna doing strange things is more people than are surprisingly good. Archie, as a comedian, has the correct dope for any kind of actress. Edna has his acting ability, which is of the best among colored performers. He would rather work with someone without regard to his bad places in his work. Everything he says and does is good. He is witting, Edna is of undoubted stage distinction. She has all the graces. She is a charming actress on her stage movements. Her costumes, which she designs herself are oriental and Turkish. The order of the costumes of Turkish ladies of quality. They are rich in quality, and well become her splendid star. She has a head to head to foot. She is none the less delightful when she puts the talk to Jones as the very mad man makes A Hurry-up Run for Tickets to See String Beans STRING BEANS WILL BE HERE NEXT WEEK WONDER IF I WILL GET THERE IN TIME TO GET A SEAT? LOOK OUT! ME FOR THE RUBY GOT TO HAVE A TICKET TO SEE THE BEAN a big hit. He knows how to tell just how mad he is—too mad for utterance. Both do a nice piece of business this point. He makes good singing posture but not "Tetra," his position. Both sing "I Am the Guy, which is well put over. It is a dream." "Dreamland Glide," a dance that gets them the applause. This is their own dance, done when both are splendidly costumed while it is costume de rigueur, if which is not costume de rigueur, a George Walker stunt. The act will be a pleasing number on any bill. The Butlers, Gus and Trixy, in an Interesting Skit. The Butlers come near presenting a problem play. At the closing the audience asks the audience to decide whether he shall take his wife back again after she has left home by leaving home with another man. Gus appears as a hard-working man whose industry is such that he becomes all of this industry is that he may have dollars to bring home. The female of all of this industry is that he may be influenced from her home by a tempting the hard-working man, the work-ox, as she calls him, supplies the money for an escort she returns in time for her husband been engaged in the meantime and ragged. In the meantime, she must find the bones, on which she found his only aim. The scene between the two is quite touching; but the woman in leaving the audience against her. She pleaded for mercy and forgiveness, but the missing man was stunned his dole as the audience withdrew with sang the "Dying Rag," fell to her knees and all that, but the "work-ox" skittled in his respect. Providence is intensely interested. Both of the performers are good in their parts, showing clearly the intent of the The team is in demand.

Ray Ballie is not new to Crown Garden patrons. She will be remembered three times, she rendered numbers when she was here, she back with three more bright, cheerful songs which she does in a taking way. Miss Ballie has that book look, a pretty face. These, together with her didgums, make for a very stumbling stage appearance. She is pretty on or off the stage. She sings "Kiss Me, I've Never Been Kissed Before." She does not sing it but she sings it. The way she sings it and the way she looks, many a fellow would take her as her word. Her other songs are songs she sings, and these are done in her characteristic way. Her movements are winsome and pleasing. Her voice is correct for her style of songs. She knows how to sing her songs over most artistically. THOMAS MELTON, TRAMP MUSL CIAN Claybrooks and Claybrooks, Cornet Virtuosos. Alphonso and Jennie Claybrook are a little dancing, doing neat, refined things. female partner, whose dance work is airy, and elegant. They open on their cornets, doing a medley of popular ales. They are neatly costumed and dressed, their attire mimics the nicely dressed, then does the "Columbia Polka," beginning with a plain straight movement, then it increased in difficulty, when the singer sings a melody, then ticed. His triple tongue and ascending and descending scale passages proved him quite a master of his lyrical art, and was nicely applauded, a compliment to Mr. Claybrook's ability. Their Somebody Loves You Dear "Is it a song?" was as a duet; the sweet-toned instruments told a beautiful story. It was a grand, sweet song, grandly executed, harmonious and rhythm being the features. Miss Jennie Chaybrooks sang "Wonderful Child" with a pleasing voice. She performed little performer, holding down new parts in the nicest way. She "knew" the performer to the "Chicken Reel" where they show clever work as dance artists. They sing "Carolina." Their work is neat and classy, going stricly on its merits. W. L. THE PEKIN, THE LINCOLN, CINCINNATI, OHIO The Pekin has another attractive program this week. Crampton & Bailey, strangers on the avenue, are the most active theater and lively act and were well received. May & May (String Beans) is the most popular theater that packs the house four times. This act has appeared here on numerous occasions, but they always have some special interest that pleases a Cinchmati audience. The Lincoln Theater offers a bill this week that is a novelty. The opening act is a trained pony, performed with almost human intelligence. This act is a treat to the younger element. Tom (The Youngest) rendered some beautiful selections on his violin, of which he is a master, on the avenue only a few weeks ago, returned with a new sketch. The bill as a whole is a very pleasing one, the Lincoln should do a big business. AT THE AUDITORIUM THEATER. PHILADELPHIA Roberson & Carnnick, singing comedy and cake walking open the show and even big. Rob big, singing new songs and a nice dance went good. She knows how to put her work on good songs. The Taylorrite, a team from the West, did some good work. Mr. Tayr is funny, and Mrs. Tayr is pretty. John H. Smith, the manager, closed the show, assisted by Joe Bright and Potter and sent everyone out happy. Mr. Sam Lewis was a big hit here two weeks ago and said to his friend, "You're off six months? And John says yes, Then a bet. Sam loses, as John did come back and some more. Good Miss Grandy is still on the sick list. Policeman Wilson is out again. MAY & MAY WILL HEAD BIG COMPANY.

Every character in the two burlesks are true to nature and founded on fact, the chief one being模elleried about the peculiarities that the company appealed to the author's fancy and may be readily recognized by all as some one you have met. There is a pleasingness in the company is not strained or forced but out by a coterie of comedians and trained voices in the makeup of the Broadway Belles, and their efforts to please by the rendition of only the latest music, poems, or appreciated. There is a curious presence of two gowns indies who appear in many different songs and dances and display their figures in beautiful and costly gowns. Beyond that, they are by this company. All the scenery used in the production, all the electrical and mechanical effects novel in nature were designed to be novel for the Broadway Belles company.

It is now fairly settled as to who Jack Johnson is. But as a clincher I run, and am seen in a recent lecture of a St. Louis publication: Sir—Is Jack Johnson still the champion, and what was the result of his last fight? O, H. He is still the champion. He has fight, with a negro heavyweight Johnson, at Paris last month. It was a ten-round affair, and after the fight it was announced that Johnson still retained the title. Some of the fight experts are yet unconstructed, have not surrendered, have given in to insure Jack the title until it is wrested from him or until he deceived him with the requirements. What those requirements can be, it is not so easy to see or imagine. The champion practically does not if that he failed to live up to them that it would be cause for retirement. In event Johnson did not succeed his successor? The sport experts answer that perhaps such an emergency is prepared for if so have not heard of the position of Wales of the fighting business? This note was found floating, around subject particular lodgment: Jack Johnson is going back to Paris. Tried to break into England Saturday, with a team of Staffordshire, but the newspapers raised such a holler that the leases on the football field to be used was canceled, and all the halls barred against All that's being said about Johnson is not true. However, one can not divide error from complication, but of course, with a grain of salt. From the note one would get the impression that Jack is person a non graft in England or what is generally known. More than once I have said Johnson is a very problem means. She has nearly total Africa for redeemment. There will not be two hundred plus years as a probationary term, but from the bush. What's that to do with Jack Johnson's championship? Why every year when he states the statesmen, the politicians, have given it out that a bad precedent is established when a black man whips a white man in the state of Africa where the negroes are struggling to civilization as a button, where England contends this means many millions. Our race struggle will look like thirty cents when compared to what's coming for Not long since I gave to this publication a letter from a distinguished British possessions who bitterly complained because he was not permitted to move into another British possession, this his own. If one cares to think about it, he can readily see how this could be. Australia, for instance, does not allow people to emigrant. What to be done about it? Who is to do it? The Japanese question in America would not be moved in spite of Wilson, Bryan and the whole ship crew of the war. What a mixup for England is the raising of the races! Is it plain why Mr Johnson isn't much sought after evertheless, and everlastingly, and in two directions—past and the future. This "wail and stray" was caught up on the "eddying waters"? Gunbant Smith and R. W. Lardner differ in at least one detail. Mr Johnson ambition to fight Jack Johnson, if it were our ambition to fight at all, we'd rather be matched with one in the British possessions, boxing impressario, said his manager. Gunbant Smith deserves credit for being politically honest. He wants you to come to be the straight gate. He does not come as a thief in the night—to plunder—to take from one unaware the result of the toil and hard work. When he beating faints is another question. I like him because he would fight if he would win. And white men ought to cut it out, taking their faults and belonging to them. It sounds bad to grove who in spite of the white man's faults thinks him fairer and squareer than themselves. It's shocking to have your idols shattered. One of them is straight. "Gumboot" Smith, claimant of the heavy weight championship, who has been matched to box twenty rounds and won unipled possession of the title July, was a happy fighter yesterday. The big fellow believes Willard is the only fighter he will have to beat to win undisputed possession of the title fight Jack Johnson. I am pleased to secure a match with Willard. I am pleased to beat the title fight twenty rounds, and I am sure can do it again. He is so big, tough fellow, but I am sure I am his master, heavier than over the other white heavierweights over the other white with me, and I am glad my manager arranged the fight. He has only one punch, and that is a glad appercept. If he can land with this wallop it is curtains for his opponent. When I fought him the came close to me, but don't forget I only hope I can secure a $3.50 RECIPE FREE, FOR WEAK MEN. BEND NAME AND ADDRESS TO DAY-YOU CAN HAVE IT FREE AND BE STRONG AND VIGOROUS.

As to the origin, or the beginning of the sentence, the drawing paragraph is rather interesting; him to the top of the white hope class. It may be that Gunboat Smith is the man who has not mean a certainity of succession. There's many a slip betwixt the cup and lip. And Smith hasn't done that. He doesn't mean a slip with him. His chances, however, are as bright as those of his compers, if not brighter. He has a stump of approval and that means something. The champ would not have stood for the advertisement that he was knocked down by a dead one. That Jim Johnson who has been trailing Jack about in Paris has not done that. He will not course he will get some kind of recognition out of his scrap with Johnson. To meet the man that met Jack Johnson, he interesting not to speak of one who has not forgetten that he can't forget Frank Daniels in the Rag Bag of years ago. Daniels was the man for him that to shake the hand of John Sullivan. He had never seen his pubistic highness, but he was so ennuiable for him that to shake the hand of John Sullivan with Sullivan was a plenty. So this Jim who ever he is can not escape his up stray nickels and as long as he placards himself as having met pubistic eminence John Arthur Johnson, champion heavyweight of the world. WHAT'S DOING IN SPORTING CIRCLES Baseball has caught on in Australia. The early days when the game was played were a number of games played or the space given in the newspapers that show that the American game has found a home in Australia, that the bugs now mob the umpire. When the old cry "Kill the umpire," is sounded the crowd it may not be willing to play against it but shows that the game itself is in a thriving condition. He played in a suburb at Sydney a mob chased the umpire from the grounds till he gained shelter in a street car. To make his escape he rode a bus to a college collegians. With this episode baseball may be said to have arrived in Australia. Racine, Wis.-Johnny Coulon, bantamweight champion of the world, fighting the last six rounds with a victory over the "Young" Sinnet, the tough Rock Island bantamweight, in the main bout of the show staged by the In the fourth round Johnny broke his right hand from the opponent in front of the head. He was unable to use his chief weapon of damage during the remainder of the game, but had great opportunities to use his right hand with uppercats or hooks, but the injury might have resulted in what punches. The character certainly showed a fluff of his old time form. His clever footwork and feinting was in evidence at all time and if he had been able to use his right hand the bout probably would have given him a limit. Johnny finished strong and in the last round he was more eager to mk matters with his opponent. LONDON—Flight promoters opened negotiations to stage a bout between the two teams of Fremont and MaGoorty, the Oskoshik, Wis. fighter. The match, if arranged, may be held for a purge of more than $10,000. SAN FRANCISCO—Two. Australian liners blew into port, and two rival Australian promoters promoted the excitement over the occurrence. The two men who have come such a distance in quest of America's street shouting to unemployed bruisers to gather around and listen to the unprecedented offers that it was desired to place before them. Each of the gentlemen from "wurrin' parts" knew that the other was around and each presenter until kala-kala. Possibly who will get their bearings the words will fly. As between the two men, Snowy Baker and the owner of the figure in the world of sport. He has won fame both as a match handler and a referee, and his enthusiasm is attested in more ways than one. For a few days Howe and Baker will rest and look over the ground. Then they will bake the highest will command the more attention, providing he is backed by the right kind of securities, and providing he is a fellow who can get them more money by going abroad than they can by remaining at home. **PHILADELPHIA--Director of Public Safety Porter, after a conversation with Sun, Roe and Rolls issued the following order to all managers of boxing clubs: "The foul blow, known as the kidney puncture, must contain the clinched, must be permitted. The referee must caution contestants before bouts, and the referee must after being cautioned, the bout must be stopped. The rule is simple, and is familiar to all boxing officials, red carded and not be lived up to absolutely, and the police official in charge of any boxing exhibition must promptly report to the public safety any violation whatsoever.** MILWAUKEE—Pal Brown, Minnesota lightweight, who made such splendid showing against stars of his last season at San Francisco and last week arriving at San Francisco by the steamer Ventura, accompanied by Snowy Baker, Sydney boxing promoter, Jack Doughey, who but remained in Australia to work for Baker. Brown wires that he will be ready for Champion Willie Ritchie and all lightweights within a week's time. FOND DU LAC, WIS.—Rudolph Holz, the Boer champion, was kitted out for former lightweight champion, in the second round of a scheduled ten-round bout after a game but hopeless fight. Unexpected in the first round and once in the second, and was reeling helplessly around the ring when, after one minute and three seconds tossed a towel into air - Unholz welged in at 127 pounds. - Wolfgang erutzen. - Klaus welged in beergs. THE FREEMAN. AN ILLUSTRATED COLORED NEWSPAPER the state commission before entering the ring. Wrestling promoters have been trying for some time to bring Frank Gouch, the heavyweight wrestling champion of the world, to New York for a match with foreign man仕夫. From his Iowa town, Gutch, in reply to the New York offer, wrote that he "positively" had given up wrestling, but he had gone over the situation, he wrote, and nothing "will induce me to change my mind." The call of the foreigners and the will never make him his farm again. He suggested that Beell and Aemricus get together and let the winner win, and that he willing to write his rights in favor of the better of the two. NOW OLD WHITE HOPE NEW YORK, Jan. 30.—Old Bob Fitzsimmons has kept at least a part of his threat to do a come-back. No one has ever been able to scorch Cleveland, of being great guns as a white hope, but Fitz had enough of his fire left last night to scorch Sweeney in rounds at Williamsport, Pa. He knocked Sweeney down repeatedly and then ran back in rounds. Only the bell saved the Cleveland heavy from taking the count in the final session. Fitz has been expected to ask permission to take on the New York state boxing commission collectively. The Democrat who is just one-year old is credited with having shown much of his old-time craftiness and power. Just a flash in the pan is a question it will take more than one fight to decide. Fitz thinks he still has it, heart punch, stamina and all. If he has and goes through a last down fight even the boxing marvel of the age. THE FIGHTING HYPNOTIC EYE. By Jack Skelly. Did you ever consider what an important part hypnotic eyes play in the fighting game? Skilful surgeons can use hypnotism to help patients in the hypnotized state, the subject feeling no pain whatever, and hypnotism has been successfully employed as a therapeutic agent. Hypnotism is closely associated those of the nervous system. I insert these statements to show the phenomenal power of hypnotism. I have the power of the hypnotic eye; those with the keen x-ray optics that seem to penetrate and pierce through an object are more than some power the serpent displays over a bird marked for prey. Packey McFaland's Piercing Eyes. Have you ever noticed Packey McFaland's sharp eyes when he's in full action on the battlefield or on his antagonist, with those small, cunning, dart, piercing orbs of his, that appear to look almost through his victim? I often think he was a much more skilled in defeating some men who are more or less affected by their penetration. JOHN L. Sullivan's Wicked comedy John L. Sullivan, in a play of glaring fiercely across the ring at his opponent, before the call of time. He had a particularly "wicked" eye, which was certainly hypnotic. Many of his antagonists were whipped by those fiery men, who even put their hands up for the contest. Bob Fitzsimons' Cold, Steely Optics. Close observers who have seen Bob Fitzsimons in the heat of a fast glittering, glittering, steely eyes, that looked almost inhuman, like the optics of some aroused wild animal. Full of fire and light, he frightened the opponent and hypnotized him. He, like Dempsey, was a splendid marksmaker and seldom missed his mark. Jack McAulie's Keenest Eyes. In or out of the ring, Jack McAulie has the keenest pair of eyes I ever saw in a man's head. They are small, blue on the face. He has wonderful power of penetration which he used to great advantage in his battling days. Like Dempsey, he has a "dead game" to his side. He mustist take to the woods. Some experts may claim this is not real hypnotism, but I think it's pretty near it. In fact I never knew a real, simple-pure champion who had weak, infirm eyes. There was John Morrissey with a humorous look, with a humor, but "wucked" when aroused or in battle. John C. Heenan, who was a splendid looking fellow, with which commanded respect and popularity. Joe Coburn had small, quick, savage eyes, and he was in his younger days. When I last him, he was a faded out old man from riotous dissipation. For Joe could fight with a pugnacious face. Especially, when in his cups, he was very pugnacious. For Macau, he was a cool, cool. Outside the arena he was a peaceful, genial character. Mace had a fine dark pair of eyes that only showed the fighting fire. Ringmen With Small Eyes. If you will take the trouble to look over the portraits of fighting men, for the past fifty or hundred years, you will find that the great majority of them have been with great penetrating power. In my gallery of over two thousand portraits of prominent ringmen I found a number of them, the Sayers, one of the greatest champions England ever produced. Tom King, Jem Ward, Tom Spring, Tom Cribb and a number of other British champions who were the small snappy, shrewd optics I speak of. The American Pugilistic Exes: The Quick True Eye. The correct human eye is certainly a most important factor in fictive contests. The hypnotic eye has a most decided advantage over an opponent with dull, slow, weak optics. The eye must learn more than skillful boxing. The eye must be educated as well as the fists. They must work with the opponent's hand in a sort of sleight-of-hand performance as it were. You must out-see the other fellow and fool his sight if posing for a punch. Clever boxers always watch their opponents' eyes keenly. Most men engage in boxing their eyes. The scientific ringman always endeavors to puzzle his man by his eyes, as well as by his rapid movements, not born with a quick, true eye he will never become a great boxer. And if he's not gifted with the hypnotic power he'll never make a great fighter. I have always held that champions like famous poets, artists and musicians, but I don't hold their profession, and cannot acquire great fistic ability if nature did not give them the proper qualifications. Fought to Blind Their Opponents. In the old bare knuckle days when game men fought to a finish on the turf, it was indeed very hard on the eyes. The principal object of a fight-trying and blind his opponent by keeping up a constant jabbing at his eyes so as to close them. Once a man was knocked down, he was less. The old seconds were, however, rather expert in cutting and reducing the swelling around the optics of a biminion, and he was up eyes of a game man, who fought on courageously and in the end won his battle. I'm glad to say this fierce man was a source gloves. This an improvement to say the last in the many art. HOLLOWAYS STARS DEFEATED AT BOWLING Fine Exhibition Attracts Unusually Large Crowd to Butchman's Rink. Special to The Freeman. ST. LOUIS, Mo.-Batchman's Roller Rink and Amusement Palace was the home of spectators in the city of St. Louis between colorado teams, when the Colts defeated Holloway's Stars in a series of three games. The bowling allays were jammed with players from which included many ladies, when play was called by Umpire L. Jones. Both teams displayed excellent form as well as skill. The bowling match was a forerunner of a series of contest which are to precede a bowling tournament several weeks after the management will hang up a large trophy. Umpire--L. Jones, Captains-Colts Bronx, NY Pin Judge--Jed. Brown, Scoreer--2 Pin Judge--Jed. Brown, Scoreer--2 Tuesday night, Feb. 3, the Colts will play a team to be selected by Mr. Browder.

A. COSTLY COLLISION. A play came up in one of the big leagues several years ago that caused a lot of confusion. A play that comes up very often and always creates more or less confusion is called a crowd, as a rule, insists on trying to determine whether, or not the inter- There was a big kick, of course. The team had the point the club hurried to its dressing quarters, while the visiting players and crowd surged around the poor, unfortunate team. The team happened—Billy Evans, the famous American League Umpire. LARRY McLEAN AS WHITE HOPE. Baseball Catcher Takes Turn "on Paper" as Pugilia. Larry McLean, the big catcher, who starred for the Giants against the Athletics, was a member of the Seattle club of the Pacific Coast League a few years back, when the "white hope" craze started. A Seattle baseball writer, on a rainy day when news was so bad, so he snapped McLeon in several boxing poses and ran a marathon. So he snapped Larry was going to invade the fistic ranks. The idea looked good to a Portland team, and he followed suit, similar to exploding Vickers, the turn-around pitcher. Jimmy Hughes, the sport writer, showed McLean a scraper, showed McLean a copy of the Portland paper which gave the public the idea that Vickers was a future heavyweight champion. "What do you think of that, Larry?" he said. "Stealing your stuff." he said. "Stealing your stuff." The limb comes pretty close to being the arm that grips the right to be ashamed of themselves." "Tell you what we'll do" said Hanky. "If you don't, Prey Before the game you call Vickers into the clubhouse, get out your set of gloves, put on one pair and throw the other. Rubes feet and dare him to put them." "That's all right," said McLean, "but supposed the blamed cussicks 'em up!" And the stuff was off and there Lester was, the same game, but decided he wasn't cut out for it. SPORT NEWS FROM PHILADELPHIA Conceding height, weight and reach, Benny Kaufman boxed a hard six-round draw with Praston Brown at the Broadway Club recently. The colored man worked for some time, and in the first round he was rocked by a right to the jaw which had lots of beet behind it. Kaufman had a heavy battle and made good use of his advantages. At infighting, however, Kaufman more than held his own and frequently made Brown clench to escape the blows which were sent to his stom- Jack Blackburn was introduced just prior to the main event and was accorded the title. He made a speech in reply and was visibly affected when a gold stop-watch was presented. In the semi-windup Battleing Stinger took such a liking from Reddy Moore that his second, threw sponges into the water. The other bats ack tseward finished Jimmy Fox in the fifth round. Harry Corson won by a single point, and the uilen traveled faster than Johnny Gold. SAY TY COBB IS WORTH $500,000 TO YANKEES. Figure That Georgian Would Make Farrell Fortune. Great Draw- ing. Ty Cobb would be worth half a million dollars of the New York Americans' money if Frank Navin could be induced to play this game. This is not a dream, but has been reduced to cold figures by New York baseball men. The Georgian would be worth more to New York than to any other American. The Georgian would be worth more to the Polo grounds, to see McGraw's ag- gressive men would be drawn to the Yankee fold by Cobb's uneased daring and dash. But they are not the real backbone of Ty's probable value to New York. The crowd of out-of-town visitors, amounting to 500,000 a day, is the factor that would make Cobb worth $500,000. The players let him earn $1,000,000 for the club. All Want to See Cobb. As it now stands Cobb plays eleven games. New York as a member of the Detroit Chargers, 1,500 of the great army of New York fans, actually, for the most part Cobb roots. They go simply to see Cobb. Among the 500,000 visitors in New York best at 200,000 who come from small towns. The league ball is not played Cobb stands for the majors. If a daily average of 1,500 yards out to see Ty, all estimates are wrong. With a personal audience of 3,000 a day, at an average of 50 cents each, Cobb draws as a New York drawing card at $1,500. The team's timate. Now he plays eleven games in the city. As a member of the Yankees he games at home, 68 more than he plays in the Would Be Big Attraction. At a fairly conservative estimate he estimated that a new 'new York' home games just $100,000 a year in five years, he would perform in New York, a total of $500,000 in five years. On the road he would add at least $50,000 a year to the club's receipts, or $250,000 more in five years, and he would add as much as an attraction. But the addition of Cobb would make the Yankees another $100,000 a year, even be a pennant contender, possibly a flag winner. Simply turning the Yankees into receipts another $100,000 as New York dearly loves a winner. If a flag were captured the Yankees would have Cobb's purchase price in a single season.
